This is why I've always been against the idea of scrubbing Reddit comments. There's no way that they hadn't already scraped and backed everything up already, before the comments were scrubbed. That just deleted the information from the public internet, and the LLMs still get to train from the scraped dataset. It's just increasing their usefulness.

The one that does my head in when I spend hours deep diving forums, finally find someone who had the exact same problem as me, and the only reply to their post is them saying "never mind, I figured it out." MOTHERFUCKER! WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US YOU FUCKING DOUCHE-CANOE!?!

Look! I'm famous!

I deleted my Reddit history (but not my account) and every so often I get a message from someone asking what my reply was to a comment that helped a lot of people.

Ask an LLM m8. That's where the answer ended up for cash. I lost my RIF Golden Platinum, but some dickhead got to make a few cents out of my efforts.

Thank you Spez, you’ve done it again

You're welcome.

(I say as if there was anything useful in any of my deleted Reddit comments)

Reddit’s API issue

I got a weird annoyance that the only "solution" to I have found doesn't work. Plenty of threads about the same issue (device disconnected sound playing whenever the display is turned on after being off for a while), but the solution every OP says works is disabling the HDMI sound device if not using it. I already had that disabled simply due to not liking my audio output randomly changing from my good speakers to the shitty TV speakers; the only enabled audio output device is the sound chip on the motherboard.
