really interesting to see this #RedditMigration happen right now

The way #Reddit handles third-party apps I am really considering deleting my accounts even though I liked using Reddit and would have even paid a subscription for Apollo (I’m a lifetime ultra-member currently).

Apollo about client down because of the new API-pricing. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comment

This week I got to try out the Apple Vision Pro – in an exclusive hands-on experience at Apple Park.

On this episode of Cortex, I recount my entire experience to Grey and talk about what I think this could mean for the future of computing.

Ah, it’s happening #lemmy.ml writes that they start not being able to keep up with the wave and that people should join other servers

Meanwhile i woke up to the longest line of people trying to join #tchncs so far^^
I should tweak a thing or two today just in case – meaning a few seconds of downtime as it will require a restart.

So as I understand it, on #Lemmy /#Kbin every instance has its own set of "subreddits" and they can overlap. It's up to the instance admin to create these, and assign mods.

You can--of course--subscribe and post to "communities" or "magazines" on other instances; similar to "channels" in #Peertube.

I think this is confusing, but important for new users to understand as they migrate from #reddit.

The instance you're on doesn't have to have *all* the subreddits.

Seems #Reddit had decided to kill off its user base by pulling a Twitter with its API.

For those who are unaware, lemmy and kbin to a lesser extent are in the early stages of a rapid growth in users, similar to the one Mastodon experienced in November last year.

In a move similar to Twitter, Reddit has all but confirmed that 3rd party apps will be locked out with their new API pricing, effectively forcing people to use the official app or nothing.

That has driven a lot of people to look for alternatives. I expect the wave in new users will ebb, but it will surge back again even larger once the 3rd party reddit apps are officially unusable.

We live in interesting times on the fediverse

🌶️ take: ChatGPT is Natural Language Processing's Netscape moment.

The Internet had existed for a while in 1995. However, Netscape's GUI-based browsing made the technology *usable* by the masses, creating an internet revolution.

LLMs have long existed. It was the GUI-based chat interaction of ChatGPT that made them usable by the masses.

At the heart, technology, especially usable ones, has always been about it.

Something big is happening in Mastodon over the weekend. Here is my graph, updated. Right now Mastodon is growing ~3 times faster than Twitter.

Managed to install #Arch :arch: on my laptop, with the help of a little tutorial:

I guess I'm now entitled to use the phrase/meme "BTW I use arch" ? 😂

I'll play with #i3 later

On paper can also be a password manager. Physical access thieves are more likely to steal a high value item like a phone or a laptop than a paper notebook.

@dansup probably pay for it if they didn't steal all my information and use it against me.
