Interesting observation. I really wish anything we see could be trusted regarding the war rn, but fog of war is one hell of a thing. Let's hope we will see everything that propaganda has pushed after the war is over.

That's for the next bot, to take prompts from Reddit and answer with pictures

Honestly this makes me want to start writing bots that can classify text to make some things easier to parse on Lemmy. Ok that's going in my blacklog.

You sly dog you had me recursin' for a second

The dream.

They should make Reddit pay 20mio per month per third app they killed off. Sweet revenge.

Mmm yes, let the snake oil flow through you.

They'd do better finally fixing teams. We're talking years after release, and there's still no option to change my status behaviour. It forces DnD when I get called, it puts me afk after only 5min, ...

Their software does not fundamentally work very well. So even if this bs would be talking about an actual feature, that's some stone age project management right there.

I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don't sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.

I see the risk but I don't think it's that imminent.

Yeah you never know what their research looked like. Maybe they checked and got a whole bench of oil execs in there.

Sounds like they knew what they were doing.

As if bbc wouldn't get you upvoted to oblivion

That's a big yikes and I hope they will find another way...

There are a lot of reasons for this general trend, but let me add my two cents to make a case for the sudden influx of user-opposed changes:

I don't have a source for this, but I remember that Linus spoke about this on the LTT WAN-Show. Basically, abunch of big silicon valley investors are pulling out of all of the big platforms, therefore leaving them with a huge hole in their profitability. This means, that right now a lot of them are scrambling to scrape together more money over time, so all of those platforms are sustainable.

Obviously this has to observed in conjunction with all of those are trends that are already mentioned by other comments, but this gives more basis as to why now, and why to this extent.

If someone else knows what I'm talking about please add quotes and sources because I don't like the good old 'dude trust me' guarantee one bit.

On one hand I agree, on the other hand the original point of contention was price per request, and less people = less requests.

Then again that means less ppl to maybe make enough of a margin to cover development and maintenance costs.

It's Def gonna be interesting, just a little complex.

One of only a handful companies I would love to throw money at for a paid dlc. The Devs really deserve it.

On another note I started playing it again with a friend just yesterday. Coincidences are weird...
