The Apple Car was the hint the wheels fell off, because it was out of scope for Apple's focus. And the Vision Pro is the next biggest one, because Steve haaaaaaated wearable computing.

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments ( www.theguardian.com )

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’...

At the end of the day, the reddit mods had all the opportunities to once again, protest their working conditions and leave reddit today. But I see no evidence that an organized effort took place.

It's unfair, and spez isn't thinking any further than the moment he can sell his comp and move on. But they have all the stakes in this matter and nothing is happening. I know there are efforts on reddit's part to squelch the moderators, but at some point they have to make clear this isn't going to work the way it is.

KingThrillgore ,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Its been obvious for weeks with the slow drip of news, the mods were getting the shaft and nothing was done about it (to my knowledge).

Either they really fear the sobriety from their little bit of authority, there's a movement that's going on in a Discord in a back alley and nobody's said anything, or these people really are rubes, fucking buffoons, absolute morons.

And I doubt the last point because I saw firsthand how Reddit admins quickly turned the argument against the protesting "power-tripping" mods during the API revolt with blatant astroturfing. I saw it. I know it happened, you can't tell me otherwise.

I agree in principle, but its a really bad thing to encourage people to dedicate free time to a thankless job because the only people who will endure it are those with agendas, power trippers, sociopaths, or anyone else bored. In my own experiences and talking to others, mod fatigue takes over after some time.

Community websites are really bears the bigger they get.

In reality, reddit should have its own moderators on the payroll with its own moderation policy. They did this once before, but the person was of questionable background. Instead of trying to fix the policy, reddit just went back to the unpaid landed gentry.

Mods getting paid for their work does not fix the problems they have being unpaid as-is. That requires strict moderator policies, moderation logs, a proper appeal/arbitration process, and even then its not going to be 100% fair. There's not a whole lot reddit can do at this point even if they went back to paid mods. Which they won't, because they're now in the tail end of the company's lifecycle: Gut everything so the founders can exit, leave the suckers with their shit product.

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X ( lifehacker.com )

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

I feel like its worth pointing out other Mastodon users can block an entire ActivityPub domain if they want. This could be a problem, but you have a great deal of control in how much reach Threads has on your account and instance.

I have accounts on both Threads and Mastodon and will keep using both.

Worcestershire Sauce. It adds umami (anchovy drippings), smokiness (tamarind and molasses), acidity (vinegar), and salinity (anchovy drippings).

I opt for baking soda, not sugar to help with the acid in tomato sauces. A little goes a long way.

Always, ALWAYS, opt for the nutmeg nut. It keeps surprisingly long and you can make them last up to 2 years with regular use.
