The r/OpenStreetMap subreddit is temporarily closing for a few days, as part of the site wide protest against the proposed new reddit changes which would adversely affect the community there.

OK, #RedditMigration here are a few links to help you find a new home on the #Fediverse :

204 users on the new lemmy instance already 🔥

The history of digital sound has a curveball in it I didn't expect - years before the CD existed, you could buy a digital audio recorder and make your own digital recordings at home!

If, that is, you also had a VCR.

Reddit’s CEO is doing an AMA at some point today.. that’s gonna to be a bloodbath

But I just hope he realizes how shitty what he’s doing to all 3rd party apps actually is. No indie devs deserve to go through this

I’m sorry to all 3rd party #Reddit app devs on both Android and iOS that are going through this now. Luckily it seems the community is being very actively supporting the devs and the blackout for June 12

Personally, I’ll really miss #Apollo

"Right now I'm considering the possibility of modifying the app to connect to a Reddit alternative such as Lemmy or Mastodon. There would be something very satisfying about some of the bigger Reddit apps driving their userbase to alternative sites too, and if this helped one of those platforms gain traction then that would be a step in the right direction." -RedReader (Reddit client dev) via https://old.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/13ylk42/update_3_reddit_effectively_kills_off_third_party/ #fediverse #FediDev #RedditMigration

thanks to @uthredii for posting about this

the asklemmy community is super active: https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy
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. https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

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.

#Lemmy #Fediverse

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.

#chatgpt4 #LLM #NLProc #NLP #AI #ML #humanfactors #HCI #UX

@mzedp I work as a machine learning engineer and agree that certain AI technologies are useful: they can serve purposes that relieve suffering and undermine entrenched pools of power to make a better world. But the #LLM models that are getting all the hype are doing the opposite. They further centralize power and render people helpless by the fact that their decisions are deliberately obscure. The fact that we can use them to perform certain tasks does them good Trojan horses.

I just got #ChatGPT to help me tweak my #Emacs configuration. It worked!
