Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

Oh cool, I did not know about this

AirPods Adapter for Anker 313 Wireless Charger Stand (beehaw.org)

I have a few Anker 313 wireless charging stands around the house. They work great with iPhones. Due to the design, they can’t charge an AirPods case without an adapter to lift the case to the right spot. That is the purpose of this model. I don’t have the old style non-Pro AirPods, but this will probably also work with that...

Pellet Stove Cleaning Brush (www.printables.com)

I own a pellet stove that has a heat exchanger with extra long cast iron “fingers” (see photo). This needs to be cleaned regularly. The challenge is, a standard brush attachment’s bristles are too short to do this properly. This vacuum attachment solves that problem. It fits a Loveless ash vacuum but should also fit other...

I did that spontaneously almost a decade ago. Alcohol is overrated and I do not regret the decision. If one misses the flavor or other aspects, be advised there are now many excellent non-alcoholic drinks available (beer, wine, and even liquor approximations). Increasingly, I’m finding them available at restaurants and bars.

nhgeek,

To the supreme court they go… I think we can predict the voting there down to the individual justice.

nhgeek,

It’s a serious problem. Saint-Gobain significantly polluted the groundwater in southern New Hampshire. Job done, they are exiting the state looking for greener pastures to pollute.

nhgeek,

I agree with the OP on this. Tie them up defending against an attack that will never happen. NATO is a defensive alliance.

nhgeek,

I generally hate them in consumer-targeted apps. Theoretically, there’s nothing wrong with the model. Devs have to keep the lights on, especially if there is a cloud service behind the app. It’s all about what pricing model they set. However, pricing is hard. A lot of companies really screw this up right at the start. I also think a lot of businesses cannot resist the temptation to boil the frog and ask for more and more over time, until their pricing is way out of alignment with value delivery.

nhgeek,

This one really surprised me.

nhgeek,

Imagine another Trump term with these abuses unleashed and amplified.

nhgeek,

I think it’s because privacy is less an issue with podcasts (ads don’t have as many options to track) and enshitification of the experience has been on a slower roll than, say, youtube. Lately some solutions are out there in the form of commercial apps but they are limited and who knows if their biz model will survive. I’d like to see an open source solution but I haven’t found one.

NPR New Music Friday is helpful a lot of the time

nhgeek,

Cost of doing business. This is a rounding error somewhere.

nhgeek,

It’s all a bit of an arms race (to the bottom). If my competition is freely allowed to obscure the true cost, I’m at a disadvantage not to do the same. Government intervention is needed.

nhgeek,

They are laying the groundwork for an autocratic government. With the right measures in place, it could happen fast.

nhgeek,

I don’t attribute it to an organized plan but they are stumbling and shuffling their way towards a dark future, one step at a time.

nhgeek,

Thats’s gonna leave a mark.

nhgeek,

I think old Coleman white gas stoves are not as popular these days as the propane ones.

nhgeek,
