The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
  • General submissions have tons of comments, so there are actual discussions going on, motivating users to check back often. Also (at least for now), the discussions have less noise.

    Content-based subreddits (like instantkarma, holdmyfries) where there is minimal discussion can be easily replicated with a bot, until organic submissions reach a critical mass.

    That leaves community based subreddits, but when Reddit aggravates the community leaders they can easily move (like piracy did).

  • Twitter owes ex-employees $500 mln in severance, lawsuit claims
  • Half the time a site just refuses to work. I click on a link to a tweet, and it's either "Ooops..." or a sign in window. This can't be good for a social media site, that mainly gets its value from the number of users. Disregarding laws in Europe regarding the firings is also a very shortsigthed decision that will bite them in the ass.

  • Film companies demand names of Reddit users who discussed piracy in 2011
  • They aren't going after the users, they are suing the ISP. The comments are about the ISP's leniency towards torrenting, so they are trying to find the users to validate their claims and add the comments as evidence to the case.

  • I started pirating movies again after a decade
  • With some clients and addons + debrid, you can set up a Netflix/HBO clone, with no downloads necessary and instant streaming. You just browse the shows (it automatically downloads info and images form Trakt, TVDB, etc.), select play and it plays just like any streaming site.

    Depending on the jurisdiction it's also legal to stream video, while downloading or torrenting is not.

  • [Felmérés] Milyen tartalmakat szeretnétek itt látni?
  • Mint a régi rhu. Szinte semmi napi hír, politika, leginkább érdekességek, nagyrészt olyan posztok, amihez valamilyen személyes kötődése van a posztolónak. Most úgyis alig vagyunk még, amúgy se lenne túl érdekes vagy friss egy hirmegoszto minimál - előre kiszámítható - komenttel.

    Igazából feltennem a kérdést, és hogyha az adott tartalmát tudná bot is posztolni, akkor nem engedném. Tehát online hírek, Facebook vagy Instagram csoportból lopott fotók, rhu top askhungray posztok, ilyenek. Úgyis ez lesz most a kihívás, és ez fogja megkülönböztetni a "hasznos" social médiát az ai botok által dominált zajtól.

  • So my neighbours got some solar panels installed...
  • There are multiple companies that offer solar tiles (for example: https://terran-generon.com/), but they have lower efficiency, cost more and have more points of failure than solar panels. Another problem is, tiles usually stay on the roof for much longer than the average lifespan of a solar panel and it's much easier/cheaper to replace solar panels than solar tiles (without retiling the whole roof).
