Crazy. I post under my real name on reddit and I'm a moderator for our local community. I've never gotten any sort of real threat, but its concerning that it ever happens since I'm so easily found in reality.

Yes, the cash back into a high yield savings account. My wife has it and it’s a great setup

I wonder how the savings kickback feature would work under Amex--I don't think they have any partnerships like that

While I agree with open discussion being a great thing, this forum does not lend itself well to diverse political opinions.

Yes. Which is why these places are never serious about removing legacy students. The networks are what you're buying into at these places--if you get anything more than an acceptable education that lets you be a non-embarrassment to th

Google is built on a super shaky basis? I think every serious thinking person on the internet has always known deep down that ads have been massively overhyped

Have you ever tried to actually work with the government? Even with internal champions the paperwork is staggering. Even with all the laws that are supposed to encourage smaller companies to work with the government, the paperwork and syste

Windows 95 running on a 133mhz computer would open Excel (I believe from Office 98) essentially instantly once the machine was up and running. Which unless you had AV running took under a minute.

If you ran Windows NT on the bare minimum it was not as slow (barring hitting swap) as Windows 11 on the bare minimum hardware. Not even close. Windows NT on the minimum hardware wasn't a joy exactly but it was certainly workable. If y

I don’t understand what game IBM is playing with Red Hat. I was under the impression they were profitable prior to the acquisition so I’m not sure why they’re squeezing so hard and ruining the great brand and good will Red Hat had built up.

I love websites like this. It’s an obsessive collection of information, neatly formatted. No JavaScript or elaborate backend systems. Just a plain information dense webpage. A reminder of what the web used to be

My biggest question about TCL--pronouncing it: T C L (each letter pronounced on its own) or tickle. I've heard it pronounced both ways by different programmers

That would definitely be surprising for most Americans. Many of us (like my wife) never carry id unless they plan on driving.

People can simp for Reddit all they want, but this such a disaster that I don’t see any way out of it long term. They have to be responding to pressures were unaware of because their behavior and planning around this has been so unbelievabl

Actually this is a great example of wht they're going to get. AMA's used to be a GREAT use of Reddit when Victoria ran them. The questions were fresh and it was a very broad pool of people they interviewed. Since then they've

Do you have a link to vlemmy? I tried to find it but didn't have much luck

Basically they forgot they built a site built on community and then tried to sell those communities like inanimate objects. No surprise it blew up in there face.

You’ve either done no reading on the subject or are trolling/arguing in bad faith.

They have a $4/month product ALL ready that removes ads and gives you more features. Making that a requirement to use the API is by FAR the simplest and most profitable option. Its also more profit then they're proposing to get fr

All they had to do was make API access require Premium. $4/month and all the pieces were laying there. Thats twice as much monthly profit as their current super inflated API pricing would bring them for the same users. Reddit made them

I don't know, Twitter looks like its dying, and not slowly. They're hemorrhaging money (income is WAY down by all reports and it wasn't making money even before) and it seems like most reasonable people have left. Musk seems

Inexpensive? The stuff laid out in there would require a global effort. Microbubbles across the ocean surface! Spraying salt into the air to form reflective clouds (and I'm sure spraying salt everywhere wouldn't hurt anything eith

I don't think I agree with you. Every sub I'm on that has asked people if they should go dark (either temporarily or permanently) have seen overwhelming support for the protest. This includes subreddits such as woodworking, our lo

Thats how I felt. But this news tears it. Just cancelled my yearly sub.

We have ultra fine hairs in our ears that wiggle when sound waves travel over them and those hairs bases are connected to receptors that capture those wiggles and send it to your brain. Thats (extremely roughly) how your ears work.

After 9/11 people are not going to let hijackers run the plane. They may hurt you in retaking the plane, but if they fly it into a building you'll be dead for sure.
