These people have no idea what constitutes a good user interface. Just because they’ve taught themselves how to use the one from 1998, does not mean that grandma of 78 would find it as intuitive. Applications like this have to accommodate so many different types of people and somehow the neckbeards seem to forget that. Can’t imagine why.

I don’t disagree, but that’s not what most people care about.

Pretty sure it’s to enable extensions written in JS. These apps build their success on a rich ecosystem of plugins. And, like it or not, JS plays a big part in that.

Anyone able to tell me which open source AI models the memo might be referring to? I’m not up to date on the landscape here and would love to know more.

I honestly don’t care whether or not reddit (the company) gives a shit. I just want users to realize that reddit deserves to be replaced by something more open and user focused.

Oh you’re absolutely right! Thank you! I swear I checked for it a couple of days ago 😅

Ranking is hard. My biggest gripe with this however, is that the front page doesn’t seem to cache my filter/sorting options between page reloads. I’ve resorted to replacing the anchor href on the logo with my own preferred pre-filtered search result href, via JS injection.

I find the main problem here to be that you have to grant the extension access to everything you’re viewing online. Granted we can inspect the code to check if it calls to some third party and leaks your data, but staying on top of that on the daily just seems unlikely for me.
