I have uBlock installed, and it blocks these kinds of requests. However every request returns an error and they enter a constant request loop, causing the LinkedIn tab to slow down as the errors pile up after few minutes. Attached a screenshot [0] from DevTools.
Yea, you have to click "Tools" to see the number of search results and the time it took for Google to retrieve information. Again, idk why they hid that.
Those counts have always been wildly inaccurate, to the point that engineers on the team were embarrassed to be displaying them, but product people felt it was important to the user experience anyway so kept it. Nice to see the engineers finally getting a win there.
(I worked on Google search like 15 years ago. I'm assuming they haven't found a way to make the estimate any more accurate, since it was seen as intractable at the time.)
> Even if that is a non-free platform, we can reach out to new users and developers that might later be then even interested to switch a full open platform.
KDE developers have always been great with their vision. I guess they will try to create OS Shell that sync users data between different OS? Their applications cover 99% of the casual users, with KDE Connect [0].
KDE Plasma has never clicked with me but KDE applications have always been my choice in a Linux system because of their responsiveness.
Dolphin for Windows[1] also exists but has some issues.
KDE applications still need a lot love on non X11/Wayland systems. Kate got some polish in the last years on Windows, the macOS version still needs more.
I did the same, but, it seems reddit has some capability to restore posts anyway, as I keep finding original posts of mine via google while my logged in profile remains blank...
It's to the point where I search for them every few weeks and take time to edit and delete them manually, after which they seem to stay gone.
My best guess is that they can detect mass deletion and have some sort of automation that restores posts at (seemingly ) random. Either that or their platform is broken enough that editing or deleting posts isn't reliably committed to disk.
I had tried manually delete post/comments before shreddit, half of the deleted post/comments returned after refreshing the page. Checking the requests, many of them would return 500 status code.
Later move to shreddit and created a cronjob to delete the entries, and kept shreddit running a week or so. As you suggested, you will hit Reddit's rate limit soon after start mass deleting or your account shadow-banned.
Just checked two of my deleted account, can't see any post or comment. I wish I didn't delete it, just overwrite them with random sentences from local AI
Hacker News users love to act like they are the most intelligent people on the internet but in reality they have no idea what they are talking about if it isn't about some obscure programming language.
There is no conspiracy to restore deleted comments lol. You can only retrieve 1000 items with Reddit's API so when you use Shreddit to delete your posts only 1000 are deleted. Everything else before that remains untouched. Use PullPush to really delete everything.
You misunderstand, likely because you were too excited to be snarky.
My reddit profile was empty, I'm aware of the api limitations, I read the readme.md, shreddit ran on a loop for 24 hours, each time pulling 1000 posts, editing, and deleting them. My profile is still empty, and currently my google results are empty, but in another few weeks some will pop up again, but still won't show in my reddit profile.
Leaving it running for 24 hours does nothing lol. Once you make over 1000 comments you cannot access the older comments through the API. If you have made 2000 comments and delete 1000 the older 1000 will not show up on your profile. I have no idea how else to explain this.
This is just Unity being Unity. I still remember Unity vs Improbable drama years ago when Unity changed the license without prior announcement. [0]
> Heard from inside Unity that the blog post was reviewed for weeks and internal concerns about poor / confusing messaging, Game Pass, etc, were all ignored. It's resignation time for some folks.[1]
This is a tragedy, and it's great that people are trying to help in any way they can. However, building stuff on Twitter's platform seems like utter folly these days.
You need the database. It must scale and be reliable.
It must have proper UI.
People must be able to use it without prior learning.
Let's say you create a website from the scratch. You need to use some cloud database. You need to build a simple UI which will work with bad network. You have few hours to do that. You need not to go bankrupt because entire country suddenly will use your app.
Twitter is well known to everyone. Twitter has API which basically allows to use it as a simple database. Twitter is web scale and can handle the load. Twitter has solid battle tested website and apps. And everything is completely free.
IMO it's a unique proposition and nothing compares to it.
If you have enough time, you can build better specialized app, that's for sure.
We decided that we aren't one of those authoritarian countries.
