I think the word "data" also supports the theory that this is actually about training data for LLMs rather than ad revenue. If it was actually about 3rd party apps, then why not just require all apps to feed the ads? But according to the Apollo developer, there wasn't even a way to fetch the ads through the API.

I think spez saw what OpenAI/Microsoft were accomplishing using parsed data and got dollar signs in his eyes. The irony is that OpenAI probably already ripped every comment off Reddit up until now, and don't really need more going forward.

Why doesn't lemmy.world read new posts from beehaw? The local users here wouldn't be able to send comments back to the beehaw version, but we could at least browse the posts, and even leave comments that other lemmy.world users could read.

Although the developers recently said they are working on improving stability and won't have time to add features for a while.

No, they still get burn in. They also aren't very bright out of the box, and they get dimmer over time. They're also more expensive than LCDs despite having a limited lifespan. I've never been a fan of OLEDs for these reasons and my theory is that manufacturers want to sell them because they have a limited life span so they can sell more.

MicroLED I'm super pumped for though. No clue when we can actually expect to buy them though.

I live in an apartment and have a pretty small hot water tank. I changed the whole showerhead to one with higher flow, but now i run out of hot water much faster.

It's definitely broken for me, I've been trying to figure out what the problem was. Basically the only way for me to browse is on new. Hot or active only give posts from two days ago. I'm also on jerboa so i wasn't sure if that was the problem.

I wrote the essay for lemmy.ml and got accepted within an hour or so. But then the next day i couldn't view anything in jerboa because lemmy.ml was overloaded. Made an account here and i was glad to skip this essay this time.

Every day, I open jerboa and see like 5x more communities with a lot of activity. If we can keep up this level of growth for another week or so, then i don't think I'll miss Reddit much. Especially if i really have to download the official app. On the other hand, if Reddit backs down at the last minute and agrees to allow third party apps, then i could see lemmy users going back to Reddit out of habit.
