I was going to look this up, but it seems at least one of the people that maintain my pihole's lists have already blocked the domain. In any case, I like not being monitored in real time.

Now try putting headphones on. I can notice the difference between premium and free tier audio quality.

It almost strikes me as the design equivalent of the "how do you do fellow kids?" meme. Like, it's in your face trying to engage with craft-like design but fails to make a point because google is pretentious and drinking thei

This is something the FCC definitely has power to do and if you think this is overstepping then they certainly would not be able to do anything about anti-competitive behavior in your idealized version of them.

I think as long as what is meant to be conveyed is clear and concise, it's served its purpose.

That's before git was created. Do you have details about this?

"Business" sucks then. This is sociopathic behavior.

People need food but they don't have to eat factory produced meat that requires huge amounts of CO2 footprint and antibiotics that make our own human populations less resistant to bacteria. Biologically we are carnivores but factory fa

I think everyone likes innovation. The problem is innovation requires creativity, which is a scarce resource in corporate environments.

This is not really a CPU issue, it's a disk issue. For a lot of workflows, windows already has inferior I/O performance compared to Linux even with AV disabled, so more on by default security features is not exactly helpful for de

They almost did in the early 00s, but unfortunately their lawyers were just as good then and republicans controlled the justice department.

It's been a few years since I've worked with the cinnamon team, but their 2019 sentiment was basically "ignore Wayland and hope it dies".

Maybe it doesn't need a competitor but something that supersedes its design while staying inside the community of communities structure. Most Reddit clones do nothing better than Reddit, they just attempt to painstakingly emulate it. K

I maintain an open source extension with just a few thousand users and have been receiving these offers every month for years. These people will eventually find someone desperate enough for money to do it, which is unnerving and a good reas

Some of it may come from them rebuilding a lot of the game after the leak, but that was arguably an unnecessary exercise to protect their IP. Even then, not close to that figure. Federal agencies are keen to protect corporations' quart

I can get on board with education about social engineering hack attempts, but the amount of spyware on my work machine feels like institutionalized cyber crime. I have work that is I/O intensive, and the third party AV makes sure that&

Most of their debunking claims are hair splitting or leaving me with the impression of there being more to the story. I can easily believe a reddit mob has been stalking and harassing a musician for years. This is a sad view of a community

If anything, real name identification just gives people ways to harm themselves socially in the real world. It's not going to deter antisocial behavior. Like the stereotypical crazy uncle at Thanksgiving - He's just no longer invi

Reddit continues to show how little they care. I hope they get the IPO over with relatively soon so we can watch it turn into Tumblr, and have an exodus of people move to a service that "remembers the human".

I made a user script that alternates between teddit instances on error responses. It's quick and dirty, but does the job. https://pastebin.com/zFJ5nb42

Exceptions don't make it good for the majority of society. Those exceptions are also what keeps people hooked, chasing a carrot until their bank account is empty.

I actually wrote to my representative and warned them that Reddit was playing fast and loose with social responsibility in 2022. I think more people should do this. People should write to their representatives and ask for social media regul

Exactly, private insurance companies with millionaire executives are the most efficient way to handle a fundamental human need for our society. /s (this means sarcasm).

This whole situation has been a giant rugpull from under users' feet. Users shouldn't have to worry about Reddit's IPO. They signed on to a platform with expectations that there was some autonomy with administering individual

Is there a link to the study? Seems weird to question the efficacy of drugs for things they're not FDA approved for. They're not nootropics.

It's OP's content that they licensed to Reddit under the terms of their TOS. I'm curious if the generic "we have the right to do anything we want with your content" variation on most social media sites' TOS has

Don't have an answer, but I can also say that I also was retaliated against for criticizing Reddit. They suspended an account with 5000 coins for no apparent reason, and then IP banned me for bringing attention to that to an admin with
