This is insane. If you don’t know him, @christianselig built and continues to evolve Apollo, my favorite Reddit app, one I use every single day.
Looks like Reddit is about to put Christian (and all indie Reddit devs) out of business by massively raising their API pricing.
Sound familiar?

tech companies putting GPT into things like that girl writing "dear diary, i just learned my first curse word: it is bitch" and starting the next day's entry "dear diary bitch"

no idea if this will convey the message i'm trying to convey but preservation != piracy, even if they can be associated in a lot of cases
you can preserve something but not pirate it (e.g. preserving old versions of game builds without bastardising the files to run w/o Steam), you can pirate something but not truly preserve it (like publishing versions of the game with the files and executables hacked up and functionality outright removed for whatever reason)
i think this will play at Apple R744 (Mumbai) opening idk https://web.archive.org/web/20230409052119if_/https://rmm-edge.apple.com/public/fd_3840x2160_saketin_gates_ambient_v2_2f227047_9013_4f58_a987_e89c6b0f9b6e_96592-96594.mov?accessKey=1681021132_30cb0fa38580c153_/public/_WJFwmifDBvVkvJAidcRL1JDpumQ5GhX5qwQDGrVC8Kr6O5gfvec9WM9Em19nVC6t

The estimable Freedom of the Press Foundation explains why the action Congress is pushing against TikTok is a grossly broad attack on everyone's freedom of speech.
Think about when (not if) a rogue government abuses the absurdly broad language of the proposed law.
I don't like TikTok and I loathe the Chinese regime, but this is the absolutely wrong way to deal with the genuine issues.
