1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like…every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.
Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.
I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.
But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.
Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.
Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.
The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.
Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.
Of course, there will be people who just don’t care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don’t care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don’t moderate any subreddits, and don’t follow the Internet news.
I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.
Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.
