Came here to say the same. Old Reddit is such a fantasticly dense, yet readable UI. It doesn't have too much whitespace, but there is enough so there's always room to click on nothing. It is absolutely my preferred UI for consumi

> I want them to prevent social media companies from tracking my device across my other apps. They didn't say anything about not liking social media, only that they don't want to be secretly tracked.

Driving under the speed limit is just as dangerous as someone driving way over the speed limit on the freeway. If you are doing 45 on a California freeway, YOU are the danger. Not the car going 75. You.

You’re right that the food itself wasn’t stolen, but how many restaurants actually come up with their own recipes? And how many use recipes created by master chefs that were ‘stolen’ and used by others? This is how art works and has always

Russia has a pretty high ranking guy in the US Government as well, google Krasnov.

And how do you get a person from the US to this outsourced prison? By deporting them. This administration has absolutely shown they will deport anyone for any reason. This is just the temperature being raised slowly so us frogs don’t notice

I thought the same at first. But I imagine it’d be relatively trivial to generate a fake ID to upload that would suffice.

Couldn't agree more. Regarding the job offer example. I'll have 1 to sign every 2-5 years, I should be able to manage that myself. That said, I'd love a better email client that wasn't feeding an advertising company. I

Same. And it’ll be the first time I see it, no second chances here. I’ve already unplugged all my Alexa devices, they are going in the trash soon. Roku will be soon to follow if I see a single ad.

Weakness. Trump looked like the weakest negotiator I’ve ever seen in this exchange. He looks so powerless. He’s taking his frustration out on Zelenski since Musk has completely taken over his role in the US.

I assume the insinuation is of Musk buying the presidency.

The Google of old wanted users to get the best results using their software. The Google of new wants customers to get the best results using their ad network.

Absolutely correct. When creating a new workflow, I always disable push/pull_request triggered builds and instead use the manually triggered `workflow_dispatch` method. This makes testing a new workflow much easier. Additionally, you

Same. And now I’m 15 years into my software engineering career and the only regret I have is that I didn’t spend more time with linear algebra.

Not just cheap, but excessive hours. People like musk don’t want someone that works 8 hours a day and goes home. He wants someone that works and lives to work.

The benefit with windows is that for a vast majority of software, #2 is the process. And that’s it. It just works.

I’d suggest Googles deal with Reddit is also killing competition.

Yes, reddit is very quick to jump to malice, but I don't think it's a big jump to think that Google is out to show you ads by any means necessary. They are an ad company, that's their purpose.

We have a show that was a gift. It is unplugged 95% of the time exactly because of this reason. We only plug it in when we are using it and even then, I'll occasionally see an ad and immediately unplug it. This device is really just

I definitely glossed over this line. This line of thinking makes me worried that someone in the upcoming government will get the "good" idea of trying to ban adblockers.

Simple response. Never have I experienced a "thing" (web site, app, entertainment media, etc..) that did not have ads and thought, "You know what, this would be better with ads". Additionally, never have I experienced a
