I don’t understand. They’ve been deleting comments when you reach 1000?

I would like this idea if the paid subreddits weren’t also scraped for AI training. I’m not paying to feed LLMs. But I’m increasingly getting into private communities.

A) I never heard about it before right now

B) Now I’ve only heard about it through an ad a post whose title looks exactly like an ad, so I’m negatively predisposed to it. But I guess any publicity is good publicity.

He’s so good. Slaughterhouse 5 is the real classic he’s known for.

There’s a Kurt Vonnegut story in there somewhere. Or maybe someone more cynical.

Old is down for me. At first I thought they killed old.reddit, but then I realized reddit is just down.

Yeah this is one instance where I don’t care that the human bots are being replaced with AI bots. I mean, it’s even worse than before, but those “workers” don’t have my support here.

Reaper has really good audio editing features. It’s not freeware, but it’s pretty inexpensive (less than $100). You can try it for free. It’s a full-fledged DAW so the interface might seem overwhelming at first, but it’s really very easy to use. And there are lots of video tutorials on YouTube.

I love it and highly recommend.

Thanks, this is a good idea. I currently have a 2nd laptop specifically for using Windows apps, and I’ll stick with that. There are also VSTs that only work in windows, and I’m not bending over backwards to make all this windows stuff work in Linux.

I use Linux for writing software, and most of my PC needs actually. But having Windows on a 2nd machine is very, very useful presently.

Amazon’s printers often print awful-looking stuff when I use RGB. I’ll check out the cmyk converter, but the Affinity suite let’s me actually edit in CMYK color space, not just output.

CMYK color space for printing.

Gimp works great for me. The only thing it’s lacking is CMYK editing, and Krita also doesn’t have that. I have to do my graphics editing on Windows.

I disagree. It’s memorable and cool, and a great program.

I can finally tools in Krita!

Right. If it sucks for users then where do you expect to get the data to sell to AI bots?

Yep. I understand the desire to make enough money to retire. But I don’t endorse turning a public service into a predatory wasteland in a pathetic attempt to retire young.

Reddit’s ability to unite niche communities around common interests could eventually translate into a sustainable model, especially if it can sell loads of data to artificial intelligence model-builders.

ok boomers

why does every web page need to be a fortune 500 mega-corporation?

That’s my favorite sentence.

No he’s just fat
