OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts
  • I replaced all my comments with the same phrase before deleting them with PowerDeleteSuite. The comments were fully restored and visible through a google search (but not visible through the user page). My posts were not restored, AFAIK.

    This was during the whole 3rd party API thing. Maybe it was just something done during that time, but they certainly got around the edit replacement trick before.

    New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion
  • A lot of the shill marketing is very hard to prove. A lot of the dialogue gets mixed in with commentors that have genuine brand loyalty.

    It's far too easy for a marketing team to acquire a high karma account and blend in. We'll never get a truly clear picture of how much Reddit is astroturfed.

  • Keep in mind that social security is set to run out in 10 years time.
  • I seriously doubt it will ever pay out enough to be a primary retirement method, but there isn't enough evidence yet to say it's likely to be 100% gone either. As the fund stands now without any legislative input, it's set to run out after 2035 the earliest.

    It would be a long and difficult road, but I think it's still possible to keep SS running and/or a meaningfully sufficient replacement. It's not as though the money required doesn't exist. It's just that oligarchs want to help as little as they can possibly get away with.

    The moment we accept that terminating a fund that keeps people alive is tenable, they will be emboldened to do so. Personally I won't accept it. Hopefully this generation will have enough political power to keep it, but I'm not going to rely on SS to retire either.

  • Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family
  • Absolutely true. Best practice is to assume your Google Drive is effectively public regardless of permissions. It is very easy for a Drive to get hacked in my experience, not even considering the surveillance from Alphabet.

  • Now?
  • Not to say it's acceptable, but many governments will downplay the ugly side of their own history in public schools. Japan is notorious for this.

    I think the best course of action outside of education is to distribute suppressed history knowledge as much as we can. Thankfully, it's much harder to stop this knowledge from being shared outside of public schools.

  • Email clients
  • I've had connection issues and app instability a bit often, especially with the iOS version. Part of it might be our email server but I'm finding issues I never have with Google or even Yahoo clients. It's not awful, but there are better and cheaper options at enterprise level.

  • Detroit synagogue president found fatally stabbed outside her home
  • You are right in that stabbings feel much more personal psychologically, but I would imagine a murderer would pick the most sure weapon if it was entirely premeditated. It seems as though the guy had no intention of hiding the killing.

    I'm sure many of these extremists were either charged with a felony before or involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. Both mean that they are federally banned from guns for life. I think many of these murders are out of strong rage rather than calculated killings, but they'd still probably prefer to use a gun if they had easy access.
