What a bunch of children crying out for attention.

I loved Reddit, but after the API shenanigans and the doubling down I went sour... and then I read the latest TOS...

You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

i.e. whatever you post WE own forever and we never have to credit you. It's so horrifyingly immoral.

Good news! In a few decades these temperatures won't be considered "extreme" anymore.

I got one of these today! Yeah good luck with that, Reddit.

Keep in mind XMPP had similar sorts of activity back when chat apps were the rage, and in the end the protocol was added to Google Talk (now dead), AIM (now removed), Facebook (now removed), and Skype (now removed). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP#Non-native\_deployments

I suspect existing orgs will want to contribute just as long as it takes to steal users and build a garden, that they can then wall off.

Five days ago I wrote Reddit's future is exactly one of:

  1. They reverse their changes
  2. Their CEO resigns and they reverse their changes
  3. Within a week the site is no longer relevant, having completed a #Digg as everyone leaves

Looks like we're going for option #3.

One option would be to pay mods, or [...] reward them in other ways.

Maybe let them use the apps they want to use? Like we had before?

I've not seen this "waive moral rights or attribution" in any other site. It's not in Twitter's, it's not in Facebook, I don't think it's even legal in a lot of jurisdictions (moral rights cannot easily be contracted away).

Until the first commercial title gets sued and then publishers won't touch any game with AI generated content

I did a pixel and I think I got it wrong D: and I don't know why D: WHY is my pixel pink

Yes! It's really amazing how well and quickly this works!!

I'm more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is

public boolean function() {
 if (method()) {
   if (otherMethod()) {
       for (Object o : list()) {
               if (o.isAlive()) {
                               return false;
               }
       }
   }
 }
 return true;
}

Jfc. Reddit is dead.

Software engineer with decades of experience here - ChatGPT can give you mostly-working code for solved problems, but with occasionally subtle and weird bugs. It's very confident and will happily hallucinate. It will not help you with debugging or integrating, which is the majority of coding. It's a pattern matching engine, nothing more.

Moral rights

The preserving of the integrity of the work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is "prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation"

i.e. under the new TOS Reddit can edit your post to say that you eat dead puppies

I'm trying to make a game in this genre though I describe it as a base-building/simulation/survival game, other favourites include Oxygen Not Included, Timberborn, Factorio and Satisfactory.

I want to do something very similar to this!

  1. download all my content (still waiting on that one)
  2. put all my comments on my personal website each with a unique ID
  3. edit each post on reddit to point to the content on my website, that way I maintain control but the internet doesn't lose information

do you think your software could do this? :D

Back on ye olde site I shared my Angels + Bobs run and it was a hell of a lot of fun! Have fun!! :D

After all, Reddit generously hosts our little community, and we’d hate to adversely affect them by making an immediate, detrimental change to that arrangement.

This is brilliant!!!! 😂😂

Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet amazing people.

I did it like three times, each time finding a new error... I gave up eventually :(

I'm still waiting on the data export (30 days!?) and then I'm editing and deleting all my content.

Why else would they make access to OpenAI/ChatGPT/etc so cheap? So others can build businesses on the tech that get locked in before they jack up the price.

We've seen this rodeo plenty of times now.
