I'm not a historian, but Tacitus definitely mentioned Jesus' crucifixion. Saying there are a "a lot" of source is an exaggeration, you're right about that, but there's basically no doubt that Jesus was a real, historical figure. (I'm not saying that you're disputing that, I'm just still stuck on the guy actually thinking that Jesus wasn't real.)

Obviously Christian sources can't be taken at face value, but there's enough corroborating evidence - be it archaeological or written - that proves that at least some of the things in the gospels are based on facts, even if it's certainly embellished and a lot of it likely just made up and/or warped over time.

It is a historical event. Jesus was a real person, and there are a lot of sources - outside the bible - about him as a person and his crucifixion.

That's my entire point. I'd like to know the truth behind the religion. I find it absolutely fascinating how historical events get warped over time to become a religion that billions of people still believe in today.

The crucifixion and "rebirth" of Jesus. I'm not religious, but I'd be curious what actually happened.

It's probably one of the most influential events in modern human history and while the truth of it is probably very boring, I'd still like to know.

I would have agreed with you if it had just been the API changes, but the recent behaviour from admins is extremely alienating. All they needed to do to fix this situation is strike a deal with app developers and say sorry. The protest would have been over in a day and things would have largely gone back to normal.

Instead, they dug in their heels and behaved like insecure little tyrants. They lie, they force mods out of their subs, they undelete comments, etc. There's no trust left between admins and community, and in the long run that's going to kill the website.

The thing that makes reddit great is the user created content. That content is provided by a tiny minority, while the vast majority just consumes.

Most of the people creating the content care about the platform, and they will leave if they are alienated enough. That's not even mentioning the thousands of hours of unpaid mod work. You might find some power-hungry replacements for the bigger subs, but the quality of mods will decrease, which will make the community worse in the long run.

If they continue on this path, reddit will end up like 9gag. There'll be content, but very little of it will be original, and it won't be all that interesting for targeted advertising like it currently is.

It won't disappear, but it certainly won't be a multi-billion dollar company.

As I said, there are some self-hostable alternatives, but nothing even remotely enterprise ready yet. I'm keeping a pretty close eye on this because my boss wants to train a support chatbot on company data and run it on our own hardware. (And an alternative to copilot would be great too, as that's banned for internal use.) There are some great tools to tinker around with, but I haven't found anything that I would call production ready.

Decisions like this just prove how massive the market for a self-hostable alternative is. They're not banning it because it's a bad tool, they're banning it because they're concerned about what happens to the source code their engineers paste into it.

There are already a bunch of OSS attempts, and it likely won't take long until we have something of comparable quality to ChatGPT is available for companies to host on their own hardware.

Wir müssen nur technologieoffen genug sein, dann wird sich das schon von alleine regeln.

Personally, I think the biggest challenge with documentation is keeping it up to date.

The only way I've found to be actually up-to-date on docs is to do GitOps and have self-documenting code. That way every change being made is automatically documented with a commit message.

If you can't do that because your tools aren't GitOps compatible, you need management to enforce some kind of documentation rule. Like every time a system gets touched, documentation needs to be updated. A project isn't complete until docs are done/updated.

This is easily said, but in practice it's just not going to happen. You need a team that both actually wants to this, and has the time to do it.

Ist das nicht einfach ein Zyklus?

Erstwähler fallen auf die Lügen der FDP rein, die FDP regiert, und alle merken wie katastrophal die Partei ist. Bei der nächsten Wahl kratzt die FDP an der 5% Hürde, es ist zwei Legislaturperioden Stille während die FDP einmal kräftig durch routiert.

Spitzenkräfte treten ihre Posten bei Aufsichtsräten an, die sie sich während ihrer Regierungszeit "erarbeitet" haben, eine neue Generation kommt an die Macht, die neuen jungen Wähler können sich nicht an die alte FDP erinnern und es geht von vorne los.

I don't disagree, but there's a big difference between "it might stop working sometime in the future, there's no way to know for sure" and "it will stop working somewhere around the date the API changes are made".

The first is a good guess, the second is just flat out wrong. Look, I don't like the reddit admins any more than the next guy, but there's no need to resort to straight up lying.

Do you have a source on this? 5 days ago the message was "P.S. old.reddit.com isn’t going anywhere".

We're not some kind of cult setting rules for how people should live. If you need a car, buy a car, if you want to own some kind of ridiculous lifted truck, you can do that, but I'll reserve the right to make fun of you and think you're an asshole.
