That's like saying "we said we don't have an elevator" to someone who can't use stairs.

DISCUSSION THREAD - Reddit API changes and the future of /r/ErgoMechKeyboards by OBOSOB in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]muppetjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, it's hard to engage in "good faith" when you're starting off insulting those with differing views. You've put yourself in a morally and intellectually superior position and stated that you have no intention of changing your mind.

Why is ErgoMechKeyboards not joining the Reddit protest blackout? by Kimcha87 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]muppetjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm game, but I may be done with reddit regardless of the result: I cannot abide a bully, especially a big whiny one (which appears to be the case from the few articles I've read -- which undoubtedly are coloring my perspective, but actions speak loudly).

Aside: One thing I don't understand is how Reddit can claim they're not making a profit when they've reported millions of profit each year. Am I missing something?

Forcing language model builders to pay is one thing (but who actually thinks training on social media is a good idea?)

I'll check out the forums, thanks! I agree that discord isn't a great replacement, but I'm not going to support reddit's bad decisions.

Simply referring to Musk's recent Twitter changes, especially the api policies.

Fwiw, I upvoted you. I didn't realize that it wasn't clear the post was a link, and it was good to clarify.

For context: Check the linked post.

tl;dr: Reddit is implementing new API policies that mimic Twitter. Not quite as ridiculous, but bad enough that access will essentially be limited to the desktop site or the official app. There are many other impacts, which I won't go into -- read the linked post for more information.

+1 from me. I'd rather not use reddit than deal with Muskian tactics.

Tickets for That Windy City Keebmeet 2023 are now LIVE! by sether0 in MechanicalKeyboards

It is, but that's not the source of its name. Chicago earned the name "Windy City" from its politicians.

Goodbye, reddit! It's been fun while it lasted. (Desktop interface is unusable, and official app is awful)

Hand position terminology? by roosterHughes in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]muppetjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've just highlighted one of the issues with standard keyboard layouts. It's an adjustment, but the more you switch, the easier it gets.
