Who should be regulated, Google or Reddit? Reddit updated there robots.txt to disallow everything. As it's their site, I guess it's also their right to determine that. They then made a deal with Google, which I guess is also not abusing a dominant position by Google, as Reddit could have made a deal with anyone.

It's a bit of a dilemma reading their policy:
We believe in the open internet and in keeping Reddit publicly accessible to foster human learning (...) Unfortunately, we see more and more entities using unauthorized access (...) especially with the rise of use cases like generative AI. This sort of misuse of public data has become more prominent as more and more platforms close themselves off from the open internet.
We still believe in an open internet, but we do not believe that third parties have a right to misuse public content just because it’s public.
Being a open/public platform, but still wanting to protect user's content from being used for AI could be a good thing, and I guess also what many fediverse users would want for this platform. Making a distinction between AI and search indexing could indeed be difficult. But then making content deals with Google for search indexing and AI training is a bit hypocrite.
I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956
I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online. And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful. Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.
Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.
Missed a bit of variation in the games. I felt alot of it was 3D with guns and generic video game graphics. Would have been nice to have to have a platformer, or some titles with distinct art styles.
Thanks for the reply. Regarding the avatars in Connect, I see that it tries to load https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png?format=webp&thumbnail=64 , which indeed leads to a 404 error. The problem is in the additional query parameters added to the URL. Without them the image does load. It's not just a URL encode issue, as the fully URL-encoded https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png%3Fformat%3Dwebp%26thumbnail%3D64 also gives the same error. So it might just be a bug Lemmy itself.
Excited for Lil Gator Game. I've heard many good things about it.

Interested in playing The Quarry. Let's see if this is fun to do as a couch co-op.
It's a great game, from a great developer. So you shouldn't regret anything.
Thanks for the quick fix. And thank you very much for this really awesome app!
Is this a long term source of revenue for Reddit? Or will it loose value at some point, simply because LLMs are all trained sufficiently on user generated content. Is there more to learn at some point?
Also it seems that a lot of content on Resdit is already AI generated, so it would train on data from other LLMs, which I'm sure doesn't improve quality.

Just upgraded my Silverblue installation. It was boring. It just downloaded while I kept working, one reboot, and it just works. Nothing to fix or tweak. What now?
