  • It’s a bit of a dilemma reading their policy:

    We believe in the open internet and in keeping Reddit publicly accessible to foster human learning (…) Unfortunately, we see more and more entities using unauthorized access (…) especially with the rise of use cases like generative AI. This sort of misuse of public data has become more prominent as more and more platforms close themselves off from the open internet.
    We still believe in an open internet, but we do not believe that third parties have a right to misuse public content just because it’s public.

    Being a open/public platform, but still wanting to protect user’s content from being used for AI could be a good thing, and I guess also what many fediverse users would want for this platform. Making a distinction between AI and search indexing could indeed be difficult. But then making content deals with Google for search indexing and AI training is a bit hypocrite.


  • I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956

    I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online. And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful. Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.

    Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.







  • Autoscaling isn’t only used the grow the number of servers under load, but also to guarantee availability of a fixed number. If the max is set to 1, the bastion host is protected against hardware failure, zone outages, or just you screwing up. Accidentally killed your bastion host? No problem, within a few minutes autoscaling will have provisioned a new one and you’re good to go again.
