I have no idea.

I wish I were that hopeful but I dunno I don't really see it starting. I'd love to be wrong though.

That may be, but I know my browsing history, even as I get older and older, and I am using StackOverflow hardly at all compared to ChatGPT which I am using almost a scary amount.

I know I am not the only developer, this is how things are going.

ChatGPT is a big, big part of it.

Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that's particularly helpful as well.

I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It's often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It's like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.

I love how ShittyMorph will live on forever no matter what, even if it's an entirely different website lol

They used to be "Don't be evil" now they're the most evil company, absolutely crazy.

Sometimes changing just the user agent isn't enough FWIW.

Even if Lemmy does fight it and doesn't accept the fingerprinting bullshit, how many other websites are going to do that? We're just a link aggregator at the end of the day, I feel like all of the most important parts of the Internet are no longer going to be open.

this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.

How does this make him money exactly? lol

He is literally just killing off his website.

Both. Both is good.

It's a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I'm sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.
