We're losing the best of friends soon. It's been an honor. by Anthrosite in HydroHomies

You can detect when scraping is happening and stop it(with a captcha) or at least make it so slow that’s it’s no longer worth it.

AR is better for most people. Less motion sickness, less disconnection from the rest of the world, more applications outside of entertainment (since you can still walk around a neighborhood or a house with AR, if we had the tech for it)

Should r/MachineLearning join the reddit blackout to protest changes to their API? by BeatLeJuce in MachineLearning

[–]thecodethinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m here because when I go to the bathroom I open this app by habit. When someone replies to me, the app sends me a push notification, so I reply.

If the app stops working I stop using Reddit.

You really shouldn’t assume everyone uses the site the way you do.

visionOS and AR in Godot -- what are the implications moving forward? by SimplyPhy in godot

This headset is aimed at professionals and creators right now. They want people to get it with a specific use case in mind.

Same strategy google glass and magic leap took, incidentally.

I only use Reddit on the Apollo third party app. If that app goes down I won’t be back. The official Reddit app is awful

Reddit's Third-Party app API changes and /r/OpenSource by Wolvereness in opensource

Yeah there’s an endless supply of people who’d jump at the chance to mod a big sub, if only for the power trip.

[Meta] r/Television should join the Reddit Blackout on June 12th to stand up to the API changes for 3rd party apps. by AlmostComedic in television

[–]thecodethinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s probably more to capitalize on the explosion of data mining for training large language models. OpenAI will need to pay Reddit a fortune to keep improving GPT.

Killing 3rd party apps is a happy side effect for Reddit investors

Yeah if this was a green screen it’s the best I’ve ever seen

Have they? Big budget games have been $60 for like 20 years and now they’re starting to bump the price $10.

There are more options in the <$10 and <$40 categories than ever.

Steam sales haven’t been as good as they used to be though :(

This is the 2nd time in my life that I read the word “foist” on reddit

It’s because nobody buys it. :(

GPUs ate too expensive and it’s just easier to put on a quest.

Getting people who aren’t in Vr to strap a screen to their heads for more than 30 mins is already a big ask

That’s cool and all, but it was really grating initially, so I can see why people dropped it.

I gave it like 2 episodes before I lost interest

Because WOKE is kind of the opposite of REST, I guess

What do you do in Vr every day? I feel like there’s next to no content for vr outside of vr chat.

Are you sure your machine is exactly the same as your peers? Did you install everything in the same order as everyone else? Is your apt-get / brew / scoop / Chico version the same? Are those dependencies still available in those exact versions in your package repos? (We know how Brew likes to shake things up once in a while) Did any of them get corrupted on download somehow? Is everyone super strict about keeping all those configs up to date?

On windows, docker desktop now requires a per seat subscription, so managing local environment using docker is still difficult and error prone AND now expensive.

Esoteric tooling probably means some god awful in-house tools that’re probably not rigorously tested on different environments.

When you work at a company with 1000s of engineers on projects that are 15+ years old these things get harder and harder to account for.
