The public site is the first impression and introduction of a product, and this one has all sorts of slop signs around it. You can see how that can make someone skeptical to the quality of application. I don’t agree “computers can do it better” - I’d prefer a plain old website that gets to the point over one showing useless graphics, generated text, and non-functional interactions.

I appreciate the candidness. Hopefully you can understand AI presentation generally implies an AI product, and without source code to audit, it raises some flags. Clarity of where AI is used as you’ve done here helps.

You can at least admit the marketing site is AI, yes?

You are ruining the velocity! How are they supposed to tell shareholders they’re delivering faster than humans, if they keep getting bogged down with issues!? Everyone, stop opening issues!
Peter Thiel and Sam Altman were some of the earliest investors in reddit (2014 funding round). Alexis Ohanian shared board seats at Y Combiner with those guys. Of course they’re together.
Honestly like 80% the enshittification we’re seeing can be traced back directly back to late stage Y Combinator and Sequoia Capital decisions.
I similarly had to give up caffeine after an ER scare late last year. I didn’t turn in the card, but geeez I had no idea how hard raw dogging the work week would be.

Really though it’s the holidays, I’m feeling charitable. This one’s on me - no worries.
I’ll pull the plug right now for free, as a public service.

Aw really wholesome actually. Some libraries in my area have senior friendly editing classes, I think it’s becoming more popular. Good looking out for them!

Why do people do stuff like this, is the logic not difficult enough to follow on it’s own without a secondary definition table to consult!? Fucking hell.

The secrets themselves were basically guids, they had quite a lot of characters. If sent MORE than 1 character, pretty low chance they would clash. But those long guids also covered a lot of letters and number - it wasn’t terribly difficult to find one single character that cleared authorization reliably.
And maybe you’re joking lol, but multitenant meaning multiple businesses/customers using the same application stored in the same database. If Bob’s construction wanted to spy on Jim’s contracting, they’d just need to know the right header to send and could get whatever they wanted from the other customer partitions. User access should of course be limited to their own assigned partitions.

I’ve had legacy systems that would encrypt user passwords, but also save the password confirmation field in plain text. There was a multitenent application that would allow front end clients to query across any table for any tenant, if you knew how to change a header. Oh and an API I discovered that would validate using “contains” for a pre-shared secret key. Basically if the secret key was “azh+37ukg”, you could send any single individual character like “z” and it would accept the request.
Shits focked out here, mate.
I’ve been using this Qobuz client for Linux, it’s electron but seems to handle HiFi - at least to my untrained ears.

I’d go even further back, with hindsight. During the us elections 2016 it became basically transparent the platform was being manipulated, and it wasn’t very sophisticated at that time. It’s really only evolved since then - but there used to be real people to call out the BS.
All before we even get to the corporate fiefdom spez has decided he’d like reddit to be.

As bots and sponsored content crowd the internet, Reddit is often seen as a more reliable source of information, and its popularity has exploded in the past couple of years.
Lmfao reading articles like this makes me feel like I’m living in the upside down. The entire site is bots posting content for bots to updoot and comment. Yet here they are getting glazed as “the last site for authentic connection”. Give me a fucking break.
Eeesh too rich for me, but happy for anyone that gets one!
