  • It is speculated that Reddit is selling all of its users data to train large language models (AI). The exorbitant API fees are just slated to be the collection method, so in a sense you’re contributing to them still by providing valuable training data.

    As far as getting hate for it goes, most people probably don’t care one way or another. There may be a subset of people that do, but don’t let it get to you.


















  • Something one of my college professors pointed out a long time ago is that a lot of DVD players and smaller consumer electronics ran a custom version of Linux. Here we are 10-15 years later, with Android being easier to work with. It’s probably replaced a lot of those Linux installations.

    More on your point, the giant smart display/kiosks in each room at the allergy clinic I went to last year still ran Android 10. Because I had to spend long periods of time alone waiting to see if I was allergic to things, I ended up tinkering and managed to get it out of Kiosk mode and setting a security policy lol (don’t worry I reverted my changes and let them know!)
