Or a docker container.
Or a docker container.
Birds aren’t real, duh.
And that is the sheer absurdity: doom as a device driver. Sheer and unabashedly luncacy, because why the fuck not. I approve
Heretic
I am pretty sure that your goal qualifies as evil chaotic. Not because the game is evil, but because the platform is Emacs. I mean, everyone knows it’s Vim.
Honestly didn’t know this existed, thanks for the tip.
Also, there is limactl, which works for 99% of the cases.
Truthfully I only use Docker Desktop because Corp pays for it and it’s the supported environment.
If the complete deployment will run on a high end laptop, I would suggest it’s cheaper and easier to make the devs us local development on kind and Docker Desktop. The licenses for Docker will pay for itself, and you will be able to control costs. Also, you will incentize devs to optimize the stack to run in local dev. For the Mac users, it means a $4k laptop.
As a developer, I really like the local dev experience vs deploying everything. On my Mac M2 Ultra, it’s more than fast enough for my env.
My better half is convinced that my job is looking at and interacting with black windows. She can’t figure out why I need high end computers when all I did is fiddle with the black windows.
I am a waiting for the slander and libel suits to land. Seems like RIF and Apollo devs have a good case. It would be epic if Reddit had to pay them each $20m.
And you used to be able to buy super battery packs too. You could get a pack that would power your phone for days.
If that’s the case, he wouldn’t be wrong. I mean, he should just do whatever he’s thinking and get it over with. The users and mods are pissed, all goodwill has been spent.
Ironically, if Reddit has been up front and said they were killing third party apps, and kept their mouths shut they would have faired better. For a stupid play like this, speaking only makes it worse. This is going to be taught in business school on how to kill a business.
I think point two is interesting, but only if the communities choose too. One of the interesting promises of federation is that you can have competing communities with different interests. I can completely see commerical interests hosting a server (e.g the NBA or NFL) that has strong brand identity as a place to interact with stars, and then the un-branded fan sites. IMO, the competition is what makes the Fediverse interesting, and seeing that play out is fascinating.
He’s lost control of the narrative. He tried to take Reddit hostage and failed to understand the unique dynamic between users, moderators, the third party ecosystem system and Reddit. It’s clear that he doesn’t see users or moderators, but data and money.
He would do well to simply shut up and hire a PR firm. In all reality, he’s shown his hand and he might as well just do what he’s threatened.
r/subredditdrama would be trending ever day. Any controversial subreddit would be subject to astroturfing campaigns. Could you imagine if a political party decided to over throw mods of r/politics or r/news just before an election?
The whole point of a Reddit it is a community that is fostered by the moderators and the voting system. Hostile take overs of a subreddit will result in toxicity and encourage heavy handed moderation, restricted membership and make the popular subreddit echo chambers.
The CEO is changing too much, too fast, and with reckless abandon. You can’t change your pricing model, your business model and your value prop in one go. The best analogy I can come up with that it’s like he’s remodeling the kitchen and decided that a wrecking ball through the front of the house is a good idea.
The venture capitalists can if they have a majority of the shares. Since Reddit raised $1.3B, I wouldn’t be surprised if the VCs own more than 50%. The only exception would be if those shares by the VCs are non voting, but I can’t see a VC buying non voting shares.
I think this is where the Fediverse can shine. If a Corp wants to join and host their own stuff, they can, and it will be really clear. Decentralization means that instead of a single broker of the information we can have a range from altruistic to straight up monetization exist side by side. But why some Corp would pay for a subreddit is crazy…I mean, what is the value prop? Companies would have to pay for the subreddit and then moderate it too?
That article sums up my view pretty well. Huffman has alienated his users, advertisers and potential employees. Reddit is changing the symbiotic relationship between itself and the third party ecosystem that made Reddit was it is today, and has gone full parasite.
But agreed, the Reddit dumpster fire pic is awesome.
I stopped engaging with Reddit when meme-ification happened.Wheb it became all about the lolz abd short pithy responses, I started using it to find more interesting articles. Gone are the days wheb the average Redditor would read and make thoughtful contributions.
Asa backend dev, it should be a 503 error. I live in 503 land.
