Non right-wing tech podcasts? in c/technology@beehaw.org

They do sometimes get on the weirdest not-security-related rants. Like a number of shows a few years back talking about melatonin.

Not a deal breaker IMO, just consider not taking medical advice from a computer security podcast. :)

When StoryGraph gets its api (on the roadmap). That'll be delightful.

I'm still bummed GoodReads discontinued their official API. (They have an undocumented GraphQL one driving parts of their site you can use. Ish.)

How long until Reddit remembers they're providing RSS feeds?

Until then, good idea! I'm going to have to set that up.

Tell about some times you've played games in ways that were clearly not intended by the developers. :) in c/gaming@beehaw.org

I find the Mario Kart Blue Yourself records to be hilarious personally. Get a blue shell and hit yourself with it as quickly as possible.

How many of you are using Bookwyrm (federated alternative to Goodreads)? in c/literature@beehaw.org

[–] jpv@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Ooh, I'll have to check it out -- if there's anything approaching decent API support. I'm a coding geek that reads a silly amount and blogs all my reviews. I'd love to share them on other communities, but it's a bit annoying to do it on Goodreads anymore--and I've not found any of the others particularly better.

Could the reddit API changes have to do with ChatGPT rather than third party apps? in c/technology@beehaw.org

[–] jpv@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Sure, but they could do the same thing with an API. Make scraping for LLMs against the TOS; not personal use. I really do think (as the OP says) it's two birds with one stone.
