Everything works if you use User-Agent switcher extension. So they went through the trouble of making an "unsupported" page and redirecting you to that page instead of doing nothing

Could they go the tinygrad route and post bounties like "$1000 for fixing this major bug"

I like how it doesn't recommend itself but instead recommends "Microsoft's Bard" and "Google's BlenderBot" as alternatives to ChatGPT

Wouldn’t that mean Intel would really have to negotiate a new deal with whoever buys AMD since otherwise they couldn’t make any new cpus?

That wasn’t really a merger, more like a renaming

Reddit has a lot of value, just not people who can utilize it. Anonymous nature of Reddit doesn't matter when you have Meta's cookies while accessing it. Content is also nicely categorized so they can easily push, for example, insurance and credit card ads on r/PersonalFinance. It is pretty wild that Mark Zuckerberg is the only person to figure out how to make money off of social media after more than 20 years of social media existing.

Advertisers just aren't running away from Reddit. They were never there in the first place. Reddit's revenue is tiny considering it's userbase. And their data is categorized well, by default, for free by a volunteer force of moderators. And still they're not making money. How is that even possible?

But people don’t care. Homelab subreddit created a forum and after 5 days, the number of registered users on that forum is 18. Selfhosted subreddit did the same thing and activity on their forum is similarly low. If people on “selfhosted” subreddit don’t want to move to a selfhosted alternative, I don’t know if there is any hope for other communities.
