So recently, Reddit started blocking people going on the site unauthenticated. I still end up regularly on Reddit when I'm web searching, but it's looks like those days are thoroughly over.

This is why I've always been against the idea of scrubbing Reddit comments. There's no way that they hadn't already scraped and backed everything up already, before the comments were scrubbed. That just deleted the information from the public internet, and the LLMs still get to train from the scraped dataset. It's just increasing their usefulness.
Yeah it's not about LLMs to me, it was before they were what they are today. It was anti reddit hostility and to raise awareness of "reddit sucks and centralizing your content with a giant company sucks"
That's the point. Some pain and inconvenience has to take place for companies to stop ripping people off, making millions off their information, and gaslighting users they're wrong. Fuck AI bullshit, fuck llms.
I refuse to help reddit be useful.
Right, it's about sending a message.
Welp, too late. I grabbed some random userscript and made it change everything to say "spez". Pages and pages of me commenting "spez" to stuff. Checked back later, and everything is gone. Reduced to atoms. Now I have a ~57k karma empty account.
I also stopped using it, but kept the stuff there anyway.
Exactly!
Look! I'm famous!
The whole world needs to see this. Good work!
What was the reply?
This whole thing is a fictional example written by me.

Perfect, thank you! Can't believe that worked after I tried basically everything else.

Wow. This is a Christian server. Watch your profanity!

Well, I never looked at it that way, that completely changes my view on Christianity!

Oh, I see it now!
The one that does my head in when I spend hours deep diving forums, finally find someone who had the exact same problem as me, and the only reply to their post is them saying "never mind, I figured it out." MOTHERFUCKER! WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US YOU FUCKING DOUCHE-CANOE!?!
I found a more painful thing, searching for the issue and only finding your own post from 3 years ago with no update on how you fixed it
F
I deleted my Reddit history (but not my account) and every so often I get a message from someone asking what my reply was to a comment that helped a lot of people.
Ask an LLM m8. That's where the answer ended up for cash. I lost my RIF Golden Platinum, but some dickhead got to make a few cents out of my efforts.
I really miss how valuable those random ancient Reddit threads could be. But I don’t blame anyone for scrubbing their comments, hell, I did the same. And there’s only one greedy little pig-boy to blame for making people want to do that… Fuck spez.
I ain't even mad about the LLM stealing my thoughts part. I'm just pissed they ruined my reddit experience by taking away third party apps.
Greedy kents can gargle my sack.
You're welcome.
(I say as if there was anything useful in any of my deleted Reddit comments)
Reddit’s API issue
Thank you Spez, you’ve done it again
I got a weird annoyance that the only "solution" to I have found doesn't work. Plenty of threads about the same issue (device disconnected sound playing whenever the display is turned on after being off for a while), but the solution every OP says works is disabling the HDMI sound device if not using it. I already had that disabled simply due to not liking my audio output randomly changing from my good speakers to the shitty TV speakers; the only enabled audio output device is the sound chip on the motherboard.
My "solution": fuck it, don't bother with Reddit at all anymore.
It would be better if Lemmy comments showed their edit history and didn't allow deletion.
Realtek?
Yes
Is this on linux? Maybe you need a blacklist udev entry on the HDMI audio device? Could be the hotplug stuff running when you turn the external display on.
Windows 10.
