I'm also shocked that this happened the day after their contract with Google for trust and safety services ended. Totally a coincidence right? One of those services surely couldn't be anti scraper protection could it?

That's my bet too. They weren't hosting the site itself on GCP but they were using them for trust and safety services, and I bet that one of those services was anti scraping prevention with things like ip blocking and captchas, which would explain why scraping suddenly became a problem for them the day their contract ended. It can't be a coincidence.

The world is so rich and has a ton of potential though. But I'd actually be really happy with a tv show instead. Alternatively maybe DLC with short stories that deal with only 1 or two minds at a time. I think the big story of 2 was wrapped up so well I don't really want a follow up to the main story.

I've yet to see a single killer use case for crypto. As for the fediverse, well here we are!

I'm not sure what else the could say without turning the title into a paragraph. Even the official NASA title is almost identical.

I think the better solution would be to have a linter auto fix it on save.

Yeah, that'd be nice but on the bright side I saw some devs estimating it will only take a couple weeks. It's easy to forget how quickly this is all happening.

The API changes were only shown to be disastrous to 3rd party apps one month ago and many were still holding out for them to backtrack for a week or two after that.

Which countries are those? I'd like to know in case shit goes down.

We'll have a ton of high quality options soon. Lots of the Reddit app devs are working on Lemmy apps. I wouldn't be surprised if almost all the ui code can be reused

If they inject it into the main stream itself is it possible to block it? I don't really see how.

Is there a good federated alternative to YouTube?

The corporatization of the world feels like it's coming to a head. You're not allowed to own anything anymore. Everything is a subscription and it's impossible to afford property. You just rent everything putting you on constant edge until you die.
