This reminds me of the story I read once about Baseball Reference's old link naming structure.

It was similar to this scheme, but it took the first five letters of the last name, and the first two of the first name. There were variants and workarounds for players with the same letters in their name, and such.

But then there was the result for Jewish player Kevin Youkilis...

otherwise you don't realise his movies are often in large part a collage of other movies.

Isn't that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.

It's okay to not like Tarantino, I don't care much about that, but your argument doesn't really hold up for me.

I went out to try and catch some evening light around my house. When I took my camera out of the bag it immediately fogged up due to the quick change in heat and humidity. I snapped this one while I waited for it to acclimate.

The Fediverse as it stands now is super ambitious, prospering, and honestly really exciting to see and be a part of.

I worry about the sustainability, though. The current model of donations, volunteer mods, and so on is working as intended, and the experience is flourishing. I see this model standing up for at least a couple of years as-is, barring any major changes of any kind.

My question becomes: How do we plan for the future entry of corporate influence into all of this? Because it will happen. I've watched most social media platforms and systems come into being in my lifetime, and also watched most of their demises. Money, marketing, and ads always come for them in some form.

What's being done now to help prevent toxic corporate influence in the future? Can anything be done? The best part about defederated instances is a corporate influence could get ahold of one instance, but not all of them. Great in concept, but how do we plan for a future when corporate interest reaches these platforms and they throw enough money around to shake things up for the worse, as it always seems to?

I think the basic idea is that data collection is a form of uncompensated labor. The matter of what it's worth isn't the issue, but the fact of it being worth anything to anyone at all, and it being taken from you with little to no choice in the matter. Not to mention bought, sold, traded, etc.

Yes, a lot of it is tied to agreeing to a EULA, but we all know that just about anything we click on or do on our phones and computers is tracked, stored, sold, and used to make money in dozens/hundreds of ways, EULA or not.

I don’t think I’ve ever bought something because of an advertisement.

Side note, this is incredibly difficult to believe, tbh.

I routinely take my camera to work with me. I sometimes go out and walk around the campus during my lunch hour and see what I can find. It doesn't change much from day-to-day, but the surprises are worthwhile.

I've been wanting to get this shot for months, finally had a day off to catch it at the right time of day with minimal traffic about. Standing on a fairly slim concrete median was a little hairy, but worth it.

Truly shocked that it worked out for them at all.

I fully imagined ill advised stops that put them both back into the DRS train. Not bad, Scuderia!

Ferrari not pitting under the safety car.

Count that as the first strategy blunder of the day!

This is what I'm worried about most, losing those long form communities, and the niche subs. Not just for being on reddit, though, but searching site:reddit.com when I'm looking for info about something.

Yes, there are a multitude of message boards out there to search, but the voting system makes better responses easier to find from reddit.

Even if a lot of us don't go back to reddit in any real way it's going to take a long, long time to replace it entirely for the broad range of uses it has, outside of it being a community.
