Incorrect. The tech sector had had a record number of layoffs (https://layoffs.fyi/) and hasn’t had any time to recover. In addition, a US law, section 174, took effect this year and changes taxes for software engineers and certain other tech workers.

I personally have never had issues finding work, but I have been unemployed for over 6 months. This is despite the fact I have been in the industry for over 2 decades, despite having tons of qualifications and even former employers recommending me.

That’s great. It is all about Stacy’s mom, though. I hear she has it going on! 🎵

I haven’t seen the alien.top stuff yet, but I had a friend that was working on a reddit bridge project that implements api over html for old reddit and new reddit. The idea was that you could target the api and make the client compatible with both reddit and lemmy. (The API is similar to Lemmy’s)

I got to play with it before he shelved it, and it worked great.

This seems like a better approach than the one they are trying to take.

Lemmy also needs a mechanism for linking your reddit user id (and twitter, and…) with your active lemmy id so users can find each other easier. I am surprised we don’t already have this with mastodon. Twiiter oauth is (used to be? I haven’t touched it in a couple years ) like a 5 minute thing to implement. Reddit apparently also supports oauth.

If you can sign into lemmy via a reddit login path, you could also do some other fun/interesting stuff.

Regardless, I don’t really see a need for any of it.

Lemmy has its own set of issues to deal with.

I use Arch, bt…fuck.

this.

They won’t, of course, and nor would it be the end of the world if they did. Just the end of Russia.

Do. none of you use case insensitive autocomplete? “do ” “Downloads”

Okay. I stopped using reddit (and cancelled my premium membership) when Apollo stopped working, so hope it works out for them.

I would say get a hotel room, but it has uh, been 6 hours since you posted this so…

Dark and Darker, Starfield, Factorio.

Because people do pay the money.

If an item is hard to find they will pay it.

People that only buy stuff on eBay will pay for it.

If someone randomly sees the item they need they will buy it.

Example: I paid $2,200 on eBay for an RTX 4090 FE because they were sold out everywhere. The extra few hundred bucks for me was worth it to get the FE card over 3rd party cards since it is the smallest and quietist of the bunch. None of the other 4090s fit in my case.

Yes. 2 decades ago I met someone I wasn’t attracted to physically, and we had no common interests at all. However she was quite independent and just a smidge dominant and she had one goal: she wanted to sleep with me. That alone lead us down a brief fling which ended with a one night stand. The night was sleepless and enjoyable, but we split up after.

I don’t regret it.

I still occasionally talk to her (as a friend).

uBlock Origin has worked great for me. No issues.

Mine came in a cardboard sleeve. I still have it somewhere.

I love this bot.

You probably set it up and forgot about it! 🤣

On Arch, upgrading is pretty simple. The only extra step is you need a hook to run mkinitcpio, but that script is on the wiki and you never need to touch it again once set up. From that point onward you just upgrade the driver via pacman.

Don’t get me wrong, I do not like the fact NVIDIA’s drivers aren’t open source and their linux offerings aren’t the greatest, but your issue appears to be due to the way your distro handles the driver.

Definitely a hardware issue, not a software one.

I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.

I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.

You aren’t. Even if you want to stick with bash, you can run scripts written in other languages. I have a few Ruby scripts. I can run them just like I do bash scripts.

Web extensions are extremely limited by Apple. That is why we don’t have uBlock origin. A PWA alone would not get the job done. This isn’t talking to an API. You would have to parse out the HTML and reformat it, intercepting links, etc. View the source of new reddit and you will see what I mean.

You also can’t design around old reddit because they are killing that next.
