Loving the new updates, but what all has changed?
  • The kbin logo not linking directly to home was probably one of my top UI gripes. I'm glad to see it get changed. Still hoping there will be an easier way to bring up the list of subscribed magazines.

    I had to re-install my PWA, but it now adheres to the rotation setting on my phone. I'm using a Samsung Android phone so it may depend on the OS.

  • Reddit is what it is. Reddit doesn't have to be a $15 billion company. It has value to its users and to the world, even if it doesn't give its shareholders a huge return.

    I think that's the biggest problem. Reddit could probably be a moderately profitable company and more or less keep the status quo as far as user experience. That is not, however, what the shareholders want. They want a huge payout when the the company does its' IPO and don't care at all what happens after. To that end, they need to monetize the crap out of every single user to extract as much perceived value and thus valuation.

  • What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit?
  • Maybe reddit does that thing that Apple does where they have multiple siloed teams work on the same or similar things and just use the one that comes up with the best solution. So they have 80 independent devs each working on their own app and the current app is the least shitty out of all of them. Either that or they have like 50 shitty apps, 20 decent apps, 9 brilliant apps, and the one that they went with which was done by spez's nephew who took a coding bootcamp one summer and is really good at mobile dev.

  • NBA DRAFT MEGA THREAD
  • I was really hoping they would take Jaime Jacquez Jr. I think he's an instant contributor and would have fit Leborn's timeline. Plus he would have been an instant crowd favorite. I guess the Heat thought so too and picked him up 1 spot later.

  • Kei Nishikori Wins Palmas del Mar Challenger Title (def. Michael Zheng 6-2, 7-5)
  • The first live tennis match I ever saw was Nishikori at the 2019 US Open. He's a player that lived in the shadow of the big 3 his entire career. It'd be great if he could sustain his health for long enough to really measure himself against this current generation.

  • Stuttgart 2023 Final - Tiafoe d. Struff 4-6 • 7-6 • 7-6
  • Large Adversary.

    Tiafoe has always been a high ceiling player who could challenge the best on his good days. It looks like he's made some strides in his mental game and his consisteny has improved. It's great to see the hard work paying off with his second title of the year.

  • safe space
  • I think it's a healthy part of the growth of the Fediverse. Maybe it ends up being a good idea, maybe not. Hopefully everyone can keep an open mind and learn some lessons along the way both with successes and failures. Let's be real, if this is what kills the Fediverse then the Fediverse was doomed from the start.

    This is all early days and I'm just enjoying the ride. It's really just refreshing that it's not some VC backed mega corp making these decision.

  • Virtual NAS
  • Running the hypervisors built in to unraid or truenas are certainly options but proxmox/VMware are just easier. If you're learning about virtualization, you're going to find a lot more resources for proxmox/VMware. Conversely the storage capabilities of proxmox/VMware are either severely limited in the case of VMware or just not particularly user friendly for proxmox. By virtualizing your storage OS you can get the best of both worlds for some situations. Sure, there are situations where it's a bad idea but if you've only got one machine and it has plenty of resources it can be very effective.

    Heck even if the main function for the NAS is just windows shares, that full blown storage OS is going to give you redundancy, snapshots, and replication. I'd say those are pretty important even for Windows shares.

  • Virtual NAS
  • Another vote for virtualized router! I keep set a core VMs on that host where uptime is the highest priority. I've upgraded RAM, downgraded CPU, and eventually switched to an entirely new host with 0 downtime over the past few months. I'd rather not have to wait until everyone else on the network is sleeping before doing any tinkering on the hardware. It's pretty neat to be streaming some video and then live migrate the router to another physical host with 0 interruption.

  • [Shams Charania] The NBA is suspending Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant for 25 games, sources tell The Athletic
  • The first suspension was 8 games so the repeat offense being 3x the penalty seems reasonable. Another poster mentioned that it also makes him ineligible for a lot of end of year awards. I Silver mentioning that they found additional information had everyone thinking the new stuff was worse and worth a bigger suspension.

  • Which is the first PC game that blew your mind?
  • I remember getting my first 2 computers connected over 10base2 LAN with T connectors and terminators and all that stuff just so me and my brother could play duke nukem 3d. It was awesome. I also remember one of the computers could barely run it and then only if shrinking the screen down. If more than 3 laser trip bombs went off at once... instant slideshow.

  • Pi or Nuc
  • Another vote for TMM. Pi type devices will use less power at idle but probably by only around 5w. I have a Pi 4 that idles at 4-5w and HP Elitedesk g5 with i5 8500t that sits at around 9w. The performance difference between the two is night and day. Used Intel 8th gen really is getting to be the sweet spot with regard to price, performance, and efficiency.

  • Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: 'It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company'
  • "It's time to enshitify."

    The one admirable thing about reddit leadership is how transparent they have been about the enshittification of their product. Usually companies will do some perfunctory song and dance about how great the changes are and how much users will love them. Reddit has been pretty clear that the changes will negatively effect users and that they are doing it for the money.

  • Reddit CEO slams protesters, calls them “landed gentry”
  • a small % of the profits
    But since Reddit isn't profitable, that means profits are actually negative and they'll have to pay. If they are profitable, no way there's any sort of profit sharing. At best, a discounted reddit t-shirt that they'll be warned against wearing in public due to the additional anti-user policies they'll be putting in place.
