Every one of the posts today that I’ve received have the url https://lemmy.laitinlok.com/pictrs/image/e1be7d9e-9e3e-4ba9-9c08-1ff084b554e1.png. If everyone has the same links, then logging people’s IP would get you the same information as logging IPs from a public post in any popular community. I think that would only make sense if each user was receiving different URLs, for the attacker to log the requested resource and their reference of which user they sent that URL to. I can’t confirm this suspicion on my own, but if the URL I posted is the same one you got today, then I doubt there’s any attempt to match users to their IP addresses.

Yess finally. Switched off of Chrome after seeing uBlock Origin was going to go away, but I have a lot of PWAs which has been hacky to get working.

DENIC doesn’t even report domain expiration in whois data, which is super annoying. I guess you pay per month technically, but was new to me for a project to monitor a whole bunch of domains for renewal.

If you can sacrifice quality, you can encode the videos at a lower bitrate, but that is lossy compression, not lossless. Also, if your videos are in h.264 codec, then transcoding them to h.265 and preserving the quality may be a way to get the files smaller. You would use a tool meant for video, like Handbrake for this, and not winrar or other generic compression tool.

Please let this sink the stock even more.

Don’t be distressed about it, dad. You’re here now. You’re safe.

From the movie The Founder

Basically, each of these sites used open standards and APIs as a way to grow their service. Eventually once they got to the user base they wanted and beat out the competition, they could tighten the screws, lock things down, since the users didn’t have any place to go, they were locked in.

In terms of specifics, it’s unclear if they were ever profitable before locking things down, since the main goal at that phase wasn’t making money, it was growing active users and killing competitors. I would have to imagine that with the locked down APIs, they are more profitable, and they never really cared about the community and good will, only when it was beneficial to grow their user base.

Haven’t seen it but a Google search with this posts title shows it’s this episode:

Not sure if that’s true or not.

Ok, thanks, I’m unfamiliar with pre IPO access, so that’s helpful. Just to make sure I understand, from Reddit’s perspective, they weren’t setting the option price lower than the market price when the option offered? There was just a pre ipo market which you got the ability to trade on, no income earned when executing the option?

When you’re ready to burn down your reddit account, use a tool to update all your comments and posts to refer to Luigi

The mod probably put in the ban because Luigi Mangione is 26 years old now. Nothing to do with the trial or anything else really.

Was the option to purchase the stock at a reduced rate, or just to purchase it before the IPO? When that happened, it just seemed like a way to inflate their opening stock price by getting the most hard core users to literally buy in.

This feels somewhat different because previously, generally speaking, the problematic subreddits (jailbait, fat people hate, etc) were pretty much isolated to that subreddit, so action could be taken to that subreddit without a big blast radius to the rest of the site. Also, for the most part, the issues were targeting marginalized people. Going after people in the comments of r/popculture for upvoting a comment about Luigi is nothing like previous controversies.

This was a plot point in The Martian which was pretty neat. There was also an episode of Futurama which was also neat

The title isn’t even obscured by the NSFW tag, just the image.

I pushed a friend to format an external hard drive with exFAT and not Apple’s filesystem for compability, but something with the M2 MacBook eventually messed up the filesystem and it couldn’t read it. Troubleshooting and reading forums, found there’s something with the new Macs and exFAT. Ended up having to use an x86 apple device to recover the data.
