  • You should exercise but you don’t have to do it at a gym. The weather is lovely right now (depending on where you live), go run around a park. You can do free yoga classes at home.

    Exercise doesn’t need to be expensive if you can’t or don’t want to pay for it. I got a lot of mileage out of running around a park and throwing Olympic rings over a tree to do bodyweight exercises.

    Nowadays I love the gym though, I go several times a week and use stuff I just don’t have space for or can’t afford.

    I especially like the idea some sadist is serving JSON with left and right double quotation marks from Unicode. It’s the next level up from an api I used where no results was a null, one result was a single object on its own, and multiple results was an array of objects.

    I expect he will be denied bail if they can show the evidence against him is strong enough. Even if you have enough money, that’s just not a guarantee. They don’t set the bail at $50mn or something, it’s just not an option offered.

    The boring but probably correct answer is he never breathes free air again, and his best case scenario is avoiding the death penalty.





  • I’m reading this as a play to allow communities to have their own paid for areas and Reddit takes a cut in exchange for hosting this.

    I recall a while back they were looking at a way to financially compensate major contributors and moderators, so possibly this idea is being revisited in a way.

    Right now though, most people contribute to communities to share their knowledge or creativity and to connect with others- and monetisation might be there in the background but isn’t a first class feature of the platform. It makes business sense to make this play, even though it’ll make the site worse.

    To conclude: Reddit becomes an only fans competitor. Calling it now.


  • Passkeys (depending on implementation) are more resistant to info stealer viruses.

    The private key portion can be in your OS’s credential store and can be used to sign the challenge without being revealed to the calling application.

    Of course this doesn’t work if you got rooted, but a lot of viruses of this kind try to steal what they can get as a regular user, and you can get a lot, ie AWS credentials, saved browser passwords etc.

    In my view it’s cheap defense in depth.



  • Well I had hoped, naiively that Reddit would respect the developer community that had helped make their website so popular. A community of developers provided apps and services for them for the simple price of a free API. I thought the APIpocolypse might happen, but I thought reddit was special somehow and they would see how beautiful and vibrant that community was and not damage it for fear of damaging the soul of the website. Yeah, that was pretty fucking naiive.

    Ah well, I’ll put my energy into Lemmy and Fediverse projects instead.
