  • Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.

    What? So you can’t use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?

    EDIT: I actually don’t think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.



  • It has definitely become more noticeable on Reddit that huge numbers of either compromised or sold accounts are being used by bots to sell shit. They are in basically every thread now, getting upvoted to appear more legit until someone calls them out and they delete their content.

    Reddit is definitely on the way down. And a decent amount along the way. But unfortunately, it still is the best option for a modern day message board. I want to use Lemmy more, but there just isn’t enough content being posted by enough people.










  • What it was the end of was talentless painters who were just copying what they saw. Painting stopped being for service and started being for art. That is where software development is going.

    I think a better way of saying this are people who were just doing it for a job, not because of a lot of talent or passion for painting.

    But doing something just because it is a job is what a lot of people have to do to survive. Not everyone can have a profession that they love and have a passion for.

    That’s where the problem comes in when it comes to these generative AI.
