Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests - by Adam Bumas (www.garbageday.email)

Last month marked the official end of the Reddit protests. Any subreddit that had changed its rules or gone dark — or forced its users to post exclusively about John Oliver — has now gone back to normal. On the surface, it seems like a complete victory for Reddit, but things aren’t so simple when a major element of that...

sir_wandelf,

Have they ever heard of this little thing called web scraping? Making your API crazy expensive is only going to increase your server load.

sir_wandelf,

Their rights aren’t even being violated, it’s never the government censoring them.

That being said, far more dangerous to society than the ability to speak hatefully is the government censoring speech it doesn’t like.

sir_wandelf,

Although dark tower is a bit dark, no?

sir_wandelf,

Yea I’ve only read the first one myself. You did bring up a valid issue with the search function, I was just joking around :P

What are you Reading? (August 2023) (lemmy.world)

I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading....

sir_wandelf,

Here’s my input:

  • Use of Weapons is great, and comes next in the publishing order.
  • Consider Phlebias is the first published culture novel and it is a good book. I read it first, but since it gives a more outsider perspective on the culture it probably wasn’t best to start with.

Either of those books is my recommendation, although be aware I’ve only read 4 of the 10 novels. Also as far as I know the books are generally self-contained and can really be read in any order, but there are some references you won’t get if you do so.

sir_wandelf,

I really enjoyed reading TLWtaSAP.

sir_wandelf,

I’m no expert, but I think they don’t want that toggle in-app and they want it on a website in a web browser. Like your app opens a chrome page to toggle the option.
