  • Stack overflow is almost dead

  • So I agree, I thought you are talking about some profit enshittification on Stack Overflow

  • Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

    have you seen: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

    That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

    Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?

  • People seem to be happy because of SO becoming irrelevant. I really don't get it, I used this website for many years now and for me it is the second (after Wikipedia) most valuable source of knowledge. The UI is clean, no intrusive adds, best answer is the most visible. Threads are well organised and on topic. No spam, no dark patterns, no wasting your time. Discoverability is great, you can easily browse and learn knew things. It is also SEO friendly. Why do you prefer Discord? What do I miss?

  • What exactly do you accuse Stack Overflow for? As far as I know this service has always been free to use and data is easily downloadable.

  • Ok, so how can I, as web developer, monitor if my notifications are rejected by this?

  • Please, do not post clickbait

  • Devs sound alarm after Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension from VS Code forks

    Jump

  • A few things to point out:

    • Microsoft created this extension and pays money to develop it
    • Despite that, they give it to programmers for free. It is still free of charge.
    • They explicitly said that using it outside of their products is forbidden (according to article: at least 5 years ago), they just didn't enforce it
    • Someone (here: Cursor developers), despite that, used it in their products and started to make money from it

    What exactly are you mad at? When will programming community finally understand that Microsoft is not a non-profit company and its primary purpose is to make money?

  • ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it

  • Wow, have they just realised that not every single thing computers do is actually useful to anyone? I think screens that show things when nobody's looking cost a lot more on a global scale.

  • So... the US government doesn't have to fund it anymore? So that is an advantage for them in this situation, what is the disadvantage? Or was that their goal all along?

  • Gmail E2E is as terrible as expected

    Jump

  • I kind of understand your frustration, because it is indeed neither true E2EE (some server holds encryption keys) nor interoperable (you need to use Google service), but let's remember that is it is meant for businesses, not private interpersonal communication. So the goal is not strictly "no one should be able to read this except Alice and Bob", but rather "no one outside Alice's and Bob's organizations can read this message". We all want to live in an ideal world that mails are encrypted using some PGP-style protocol, but as an article points out - this is just nightmare to set up.

  • This should also be part of git repo (but maybe not downloaded through typical git clone as it might be too large though). Has developers of git ever considered doing this?

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.
