MAU/DAU have always somewhat seemed like dishonest metrics anyway, plus things like network effect and news cycles ("Threads has so many users!" yeah because it just came out). What if a company juices the metrics like say, n

You know, I was really sad when the Shuttle retired in 2011 (which itself had numerous safety problems they probably had to fix). And this glowing idea SpaceX will aid us onwards into the future, blah blah. I hope to god SpaceX doesn't

To me the stupidest thing was the removal of things like + and -. You can say it's because of Google+ but annoyingly duckduckgo also doesn't seem to honor it. Kagi seems to and I hope they don't follow the others down the roa

I'm not sure you can say enough good things about RS in general, aside from the very legitimate complaints the community has about the ownership, but basically it's a 20+ year game that's still getting updates, still getting
