  • Hi. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. People have put a lot of effort into developing Lemmy as both a software and a community, and it wasn’t my intention to devalue anyone’s efforts or say that it’s a lost cause. I think people should continue using Lemmy. This was just literally my stream of consciousness. I’m more upset that the original Reddit is gone and I wanted to highlight how Lemmy is not a perfect replacement.





  • So I had this idea for a long time; tell me what you think. What if we build a web crawler to build a database of YouTube URLs? There’s just so much content out there that is only a couple of years old that I feel like nobody is shown anymore. Build a nice little web UI that people can utilize with literally iframes. Basically adjust YouTubes algo to show people what they really want. Maybe get a LLM to parse the titles to determine what kind of video it is, and use it to group related videos together

















  • No, bombs and the defence industry was not was I was on about. I see your point. Yes there’s been some downturn recently, but the tech industry has always been cyclical. It’s difficult to get hired today, and there’s certainly favoritism towards senior employees.

    My point was simply about economics; supply and demand. In my university, about half of all degrees issued are in the arts. If employers want someone with that kind of training, then they have all of the selection in the world. Compare this to a tech company. If a tech company wants to expand their business and they need to implement a technology to do that, depending on what technology it is, there might be like, 1k… maybe 100k, maybe 1M people on the planet that have that specialty? Employers are going to pay a lot more for a person with that kind of training.
