> apps which are not easily monetised by reddit I don't see a lot of difference between reddit apps and AI companies. Why do you pretend that apps should make money off reddit data without paying for it? Just because they did in the

Reddit has never made a lot of money. AI companies scrapped all their data for free which wasn't fair. So they start charging to support the site. I don't see how reddit owners are in the wrong here. But mods are behaving as expec

The reddit mods are little tyrants in my experience. I hope the one's that think they own reddit get booted. Really, some of them are awful people. I wish I were trolling but I'm not. They can try to get their users to follow them

I'm a grown up adult and if I wanted to block tracking I could. The fact that I don't should be the only answer needed but that's not good enough for the EU. They want to force companies to ask me because they want to take ca

I'm suspicious of regulation until a good case is made for it. I'm suspicious of people whose world view is "we must regulate what others do" as their default position. I'm fine with regulation when there is a prove

I support your concern that I don't share, so why make me suffer? I tried the "I don't care about cookies" extension but it didn't work for me.

Good. Thanks to the EU I have to click "cookie question" every where I go. Thanks guys for wasting the limited time I have in life.

Thanks. I've got a Mac enthusiast friend who says otherwise, but he's such a Mac fanatic (and a Gruber fan) that I don't trust his judgement

Mac enthusiasts just can't accept the fact that people prefer to buy Windows machines over Macs by a wide margin. I used to be one of them, but the closed hardware approach and the "we know best" attitude turned me off long a

Rust is a great solution to the memory safety problem, but is more difficult to use and slower to compile than some other languages. I'm wondering why I would use Rust for WebAssembly, which doesn't have memory safety issues?

We here in the US have apex predators in the Rocky Mountains (grizzlies, wolves) so I don't see how this is a blocking issue

Well yes of course. I'm envisioning a park with natural and human-made barriers to keep them in their area. We already manage large predators in the lower 48 states of the US by tracking and monitoring wolves and grizzlies. If it'
