That’s my bet too. They weren’t hosting the site itself on GCP but they were using them for trust and safety services, and I bet that one of those services was anti scraping prevention with things like ip blocking and captchas, which would explain why scraping suddenly became a problem for them the day their contract ended. It can’t be a coincidence.
The world is so rich and has a ton of potential though. But I’d actually be really happy with a tv show instead. Alternatively maybe DLC with short stories that deal with only 1 or two minds at a time. I think the big story of 2 was wrapped up so well I don’t really want a follow up to the main story.
I’ve yet to see a single killer use case for crypto. As for the fediverse, well here we are!
I’m not sure what else the could say without turning the title into a paragraph. Even the official NASA title is almost identical.
I think the better solution would be to have a linter auto fix it on save.
Yeah, that’d be nice but on the bright side I saw some devs estimating it will only take a couple weeks. It’s easy to forget how quickly this is all happening.
The API changes were only shown to be disastrous to 3rd party apps one month ago and many were still holding out for them to backtrack for a week or two after that.
Which countries are those? I’d like to know in case shit goes down.
We’ll have a ton of high quality options soon. Lots of the Reddit app devs are working on Lemmy apps. I wouldn’t be surprised if almost all the ui code can be reused
If they inject it into the main stream itself is it possible to block it? I don’t really see how.
Is there a good federated alternative to YouTube?
The corporatization of the world feels like it’s coming to a head. You’re not allowed to own anything anymore. Everything is a subscription and it’s impossible to afford property. You just rent everything putting you on constant edge until you die.
They want your money but they don’t want to actually provide any customer or creator services. They think they can automate everything but do a shit job at it.
Greedy fuckers. They’re not making enough money already? And when you pay them you get shit service anyways.
I’ve still been using Google but it has gone seriously down hill. After an experience earlier today I think I’m done with them for good. I was trying to check if digital international drivers permit were legit (they’re not), and when I googled it, the word “digital” was completely ignored, which was the most important modifier in the query, making the results worthless. I think they’re generalizing queries so they’re more cachable and cheaper to fulfill, but it’s made the experience terrible now, so I’m finally done with them.
I’ll probably switch to duck duck go. The bing index didn’t ignore the word digital for me.
Isn’t the actual point that other people can see your karma? That’s not a risk with this script. I mean you could go around telling people your karma but that’d be super lame.
There were so many ways they could have transitioned to a paid API successfully and they seemed to do the complete opposite at every turn.
I disagree. HD lasted a super long time. That there would be a new standard after HD was never a question. As far as standards go it lasted a very long time and did about as good as any standard could.
64 bit was an absolute necessity. That it was a lot of work to switch to does not mean it was overhyped.
I don’t like Facebook but that doesn’t mean its success can be ignored. It became the biggest social network and was regularly mentioned in the same breath as Google and Microsoft, so I can’t see how it’s overhyped as much as I don’t like them.
Judging by the article even the snippets are pure nonsense:
Black lace pajamas, very short skirt, the most important thing, now this lace pajamas are all wet.
It could be vastly improved upon with the new LLMs, but these are just complete rubbish.
I’ve solved so many shrines with recall and I have no idea if I cheesed it or not.
I’m also shocked that this happened the day after their contract with Google for trust and safety services ended. Totally a coincidence right? One of those services surely couldn’t be anti scraper protection could it?
