A really nice electric guitar, amp, and pedal. Money was tight as a kid for a lot of reasons, my dad did the best he could. However, this meant playing with some equipment that didn’t sound quite right.

Now I have what I always wanted, but have trouble finding the time and energy to play.

Another one people might be interested in is Lapce. Seems to be the same thing as Zed, but has a Linux build available. https://lapce.dev/

It is.

For me, personally, I would rather pick them up from the points store because of the lower friction to get them loaded on the Deck.

Pessimistic: Apple lawyers have arguments prepared that DRM'ing individual components does not violate this law.

Less Pessimistic: Apple got a sufficient head start in supporting third-party repairs that it would be beneficial for them to get this law passed so that other manufacturers scramble to catch up.

What will probably happen is that people catch on that the content all reads alike and wonder why they shouldn’t just ask ChatGPT directly. Traffic to these sites die down, they panic, and start hiring writers.

Because this CEO bet his life on his ideas, this would be more about hubris than greed. If it were just greed, he would have bet someone else's life.

I’ll be happy if they go through with this. I already have trouble resisting the lure of easy access food, but this will help me kick that habit.

I appreciate the effort, but since this is one of the main subreddits the Reddit admins will simply purge these subreddits of their mods, install new ones, and reopen it (they’ve already done something like this before).

The real question is how well will the sub operate then? I imagine not very well since all of the experienced mods and their tools are gone.

I wish they included Selig's follow up on disproving the app's supposed inefficiency.

From everything I have observed, businesses are hunkering down for a recession in the next fiscal year. It explains the lay offs, the penny pinching, and puzzling decisions that look like business suicide.

For services that are free for users, advertising revenue and investment fund raisers are the only thing keeping them afloat. With banks like SVB getting seized by the FDIC, it's starting to scare investors. Advertisers are seeing the writing on the wall that people will stop spending as much as they used to. We are also probably seeing jacked up pricing across the board because businesses are taking what they can before it's gone.

So what's left? Squeeze users for money. Additionally, shed users that actually cost them money and these tend to be power users. The question, which everyone seems to be assuming is a foregone conclusion, is if this shedding strategy will end up killing the service. In reality, we don't know but the idealists would sure feel good if someone else ate their market share.

I'm just glad that federation is picking up steam in the social media space.

I am inclined to agree with you but moderators seem to have a stake in this. If they can’t do their jobs, then Reddit will see a noticeable decline in community engagement.
