It’s hilarious that this assumes old.reddit.com will survive more than a year or two after IPO.

I can’t help but notice how similar their phrasing is to Spez trying to justify why Reddit has yanked the rug out from under their third party app developers.
Firefox already has the Lemmy Link extension to do this. It seems to work pretty well from what I’ve seen.
How are you going to exchange cash for crypto in one hour?
If he’d announced that they were going to force the app developers to share ad revenue or charge users a reasonable monthly fee for ad-free access and share that with Reddit, I think the backlash would have been far less.
But that’s not what Steve wants. He wants to get all the ad revenue AND be able to track user activity to sell to the data brokers/advertisers. This was never going to be a situation that we users found reasonable.
We’re entering a world where corporate media - be that music, television, movies, books, even political messaging - will soon be 99% algorithm driven. Train once, repeat ad infinitum. They already have an idea of how long it takes for public appetite to grow tired of the familiar and start craving new, and that will guide how often the algorithm should be re-trained. Meanwhile we, the consumers, will be kept fat and happy in our metaphorical pens being dished up a constant supply of delicious, processed food entertainment manipulation while they milk us for every dollar, minute, and vote that they can.

Neither am I, friend. I still miss Windows 7 most of the time.
Technically Windows 11 is just a slightly re-skinned continuation of Windows 10. They just had to make it a new version so that they could add in the extra boot security requirements (plus they didn’t want to force the new skin on existing Win10 users immediately). But as long as you have a new enough machine then you can upgrade to WIn11 no problem if you want the new features. And if you like where you are, you can continue to use Win10 for another 2 years plus.
You will only see cached posts from beehaw, plus local comments on those cached posts, using your lemmy.world account. I moved today because of that and immediately noticed the difference.
So do they intend to defederate from all instances with open registration? Because there are a lot out there…
This is about the most uniquely Oregon story I’ve ever read. And I mean that in the absolute best way.
