Joining the seemingly national rush to get washing done, hung out and dried before the rain sets in this afternoon. Off out for steak at one of the two restaurants my FIL will eat at later. At least the man knows what he likes.

Same but it was just the humidity paired with the neighbours kids making high pitched screeching noises like tropical birds!
Was chatting to a friend of mine last night who bought his dad a set of canvas prints of family pets over the years which is remarkably thoughtful and made me feel a bit shit about getting mine a moonpig card and a bottle of rum.
Recuperating from 2 days of masquerading as an extrovert with work colleagues in London by sitting alone in my home office and talking to noone. Might talk to my wife occasionally. Maybe the cats too, but they don't talk back.
Monthly pupdates - that's so cute I love it!
Wow the enshittification is at full throttle across silicon valley! Guess those investors gotta get those returns now that interest rates are spiking!
Yeah that makes sense! I totally agree! Search is becoming pretty difficult these days!
API calls are almost always private between the caller and the endpoint (think telegram bots or mobile apps). There isn't really a technically feasible way for a crawler to somehow "infer" any kind of knowledge of how api calls are being used unless the result has some kind of publically visible side effect (E. G. The program using the api is generating a web page and uploading it somewhere crawlable). Google et Al go by how many links from other pages to the page of interest exist (inbound links) and multiply by a smattering of other things like quality of keywords, length of content etc.
That said, if you're implying that the api changes mean that:
- people are less likely to use reddit because they can't access it via RIF/Apollo
- less useful content is added to the site to be indexed,
- fewer inbound links will be generated that point to existing posts
- pages stagnate and drop in ranking
That is a plausible concern.
I think IPFS often unfairly gets lumped in with crypto bro shite but it seems to me like a pretty useful technology in many other contexts too.
I think it's a fair concern. We've seen other parts of the fediverse successfully implement crowd sourced funding via patron and similar to keep mastodon servers running and I suspect if Lemmy remains "the place to be" admins will have reasonable success with a similar model. Lemmy is super efficient and can support 100s of users on a single box so I think if 1% of users paid like $5 a month you could probably still support 99% of users "for free".
Yeah agreed, I felt like it just needs a but more intelligence to auto import and categorise data. They do have an auto import plugin that uses bank apis but it's tricky to set up and I always found it wasn't all that reliable. I might go back and make some contributions to that project one day.
Apt I guess
