So what you meant was: this isn’t enough evidence to change my mind.

No.

One thing getting more upvotes than another isn't somehow evidence that reddit is manipulating anything. There's no immutible law that the original source of something should naturally get more upvotes than anything else. I find that the opposite is most often the case, even when the re-blogged story is crap.

That is not a repost, this is an other article from ProPublica

Ah, I just assume that was a slightly different title for the same article. Maybe a mod made the same assumption.

Are you joking with me? They are using a paraphrased title.

Well, the first part is. But, I don't know what "munching" means. The second part of the Ars title actually says what it's about. Don't get me wrong, I can probably make a guess. But when you're scrolling social media, I don't think anyone is stopping to think about what a title really means. If it's not obvious at first glace most people are just scrolling by. The Ars title, at least to me, skims as "AI bad" since those are the words anchoring each end of the title, that's probably enough all by itself to get some people to upvote.

I am really curious, what sort of evidence you want/expect to see?

Literally anything vaguely conclusive. I'm not saying you should go find more evidence for me or anything. I'm just trying to explain why I don't find your evidence here convincing.

I suspect that Reddit has more than enough money to be competently shitty. So, if they are doing what you suggest, unless they fuck up or decide they don't care, you might not be able to find solid evidence.

I don't think that shows what you say it does.

First, deleting a repost is clearly not evidence of any kind of bias.

Second, maybe Ars is just more popular/trusted? Maybe it's more upvoted because the Ars title is more meaningful, it's super well known that people mostly only read the title.

I'm not saying reddit isn't manipulating things, I'd be shocked if they weren't. But this isn't really evidence that they are.

Despite the name, in practice it seems to be all about getting away from all big-tech.

I agree that would make sense. I think it'll come with time.

To others, I'm pretty sure what OP is suggesting is just a generic activity pub server that all the various front ends could use.

I'm pretty sure this is what the original (?) authors of the AP spec intended and that's why they specified a client-server protocol. My understanding is that (almost?) no one uses that API though, they all just specify their own.

Oh the irony of using a sharrow with that slogan.

Have they said that recently? The only definitive comment I remember from them was something along the lines "definitely not in the next 2-3 years" around launch, which was 3 years ago.

Not saying that means I "expect" it's happening, just curious if you know of anything more recent that says its not happening.

It's not even over USB by default. It's an internal binary driver API. The USB part is a custom firmware for the ESP that exposes that api via USB that the people giving the talk wrote because it's useful for pentesting / development of exploits for other Bluetooth devices.

Yep, I'm seeing it now too. 👍

I know this website seems sketchy/scammy AF, but I found that these actually do a good job dimming the LEDs to reasonable levels, but keeping them visible.

I imagine (mostly because of all the "patent pending" bs) that this is a film you just just buy from somewhere else way cheaper, I just don't know what it is.
