I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing an extension to the IRC spec to bring in reasonable discord-like functionality to some servers. It’s time we start moving back to open standards from walled gardens.
I work a day job in IT, have a side business doing IT, work an occasional shift at my buddy’s liquor store, and sell furniture on the side.
I’ll stop buying apple when I can get a multi-core arm machine that’s not made of scrapbin plastic from a traditional PC manufacturer. I have two M1 machines running Asahi Linux and they’re excellent computers.
Youtube has put me onto a lot of Australian stuff lately, such as Smoko (The Chats) and Hertz (Amyl and the Sniffers) as well as some more indie stuff like Wet Leg. I might just be old but these bands are all new to me and I love it.
I’ve also heard Squirrel

From their statuspage:
“Reddit Failing to Load Identified - We’re aware of problems loading content and are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Jun 12, 2023 - 07:58 PDT”
What there needs to be is concerted development focus on fixing these quality of life issues. Unfortunately, there was not much time allowed for this to happen seeing as it was about a week or two from the announcement to the start of the blackout. These things take time and development time isn’t always available.
I love mine, it just works. I have Linux, macOS, and Windows devices printing to mine flawlessly.
Sounds like a skill issue, Mr. CEO
I love the Tasting History series so much.
So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they’ve claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he’s posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.
tl;dr reddit CEO caught in a couple lies
It’s been such a slow decline but the writing has been on the wall for a while. Maybe this is the push everyone needs to take a chance on a new platform.
It’s in the name, mostly. It aggregates content. You can post links, text posts, images to specific communities and have them displayed in a feed of your communities of choice. That’s what Digg was and Reddit is, and kind of what Lemmy is doing- except on the Fediverse.
I love IDLES, don’t know how they didn’t make the list. Never Fight a Man with a Perm was playing on my commute.
