Paying people to work on open source is good actually - Jacob Kaplan-Moss

If you have a problem with maintainers getting paid then you have a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.

@christianselig the feature I'd like for Juno is access to "thumbs up", "add to watch later", and "not interested". "Not interested" especially so that I can clean up my recommendations. Thanks for the app!

Seeing @lisamelton posts today reminds me of something. There is a flood of people who want to tell you that trans people only exist because of some kind of “woke” indoctrination. But, if so, why are are we seeing so many people, late in life, coming out as trans? With so much sacrifice. Could it not be that we are finally coming close to a world that will (at minimum) tolerate them?

I am cis. (F you Elon). I am straight. I am privileged. If I can be happy for Lisa, so can you. I owe Lisa for her contributions to tech. So do you.

I now have role models, friends, family, and coworkers who are not cis. WTF does anyone think this hurts me in any way?

Microsoft should create and launch a Reddit clone, keep the API completely open for client developers (but not data miners), pay top Reddit moderators to move their communities over, and use the project’s data for continuously training their own AI models.

I’ve had a lot of questions about Reddit’s planned AMA today and “What if they…”, so I added a section to the bottom of my post to answer that and thought I’d share it here too.

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

Hey all, It's been an amazing run thanks to all of you. Eight years ago, I posted in the Apple subreddit [about a Reddit app I was looking for...
