I'll pay 15x more for Sync if it's Open-Sourced
  • I don't care about it being open source.

    LJD has proven to be an excellent dev, who also listens to his users. He's built to a lot of trust as a result.

    If he sold Sync, then my answer might be different.

  • Do you reread books?
  • I almost never re-read books. I suppose if it has been a really long time - like 15 or 20 yrs - and I loved the book, then I'm not against the idea.

    This is probably because one of the things I love about reading most is not knowing where things are going to go. Hence why I like a lot of suspense/thriller type stories.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • The answer is it depends. But one that relaxes me is The Power of Love / Love Power by Luther Vandross.

    Not sure why, maybe it just reminds me of simpler, chiller times in the 90s. It's also quite a chill song and he has a soothing voice I reckon.

  • [rant] Why is this so hard for people?
  • I don't properly understand how all of this works.

    But signing up to kbin on the weekend was just like signing up for anything else online.

    And once I did, replying to posts - like this one - was more or less the same as replying on any other discussion forum.

    So....I don't get it, what's so hard? Do you really need to understand the technical details underneath to start using this place?

    That said, I would like to grasp this whole thing a little better. But I figured the best way to do that is to jump straight in and go from there! :)

  • Reddit CEO Triples Down, Insults Protesters, Whines About Not Making Enough Money From Reddit Users
  • Yes, Reddit is a big dataset and yes, Reddit deserves to make some money off that if other organisations are going to scrape that data, for AI or anything else.

    That's what they should be blocking and monetizing. Not those few users using 3rd party apps. Those folks (posters, mods) are amongst the ones creating that data set for Reddit, free of charge.

    They are right about needing to make money to continue as a successful business. But they are doing it the wrong way and alienating their key assets.

    Which is why I'm here :)

  • YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world
  • Now that Sync for Reddit is being discontinued I'm dropping Reddit.

    I saw a good write-up about kbin, so I signed up about a day ago and have been liking what I see - although it's obviously still in its early stages.

    I don't know much about Lemmy and Federation, but is it a bit like the Newsgroups of old (Usenet), where you joined a Usenet service and any posts on any service propagated across all servers?
