They are not " still actively moderating, just doing so in a private community", they are shutting down their community for everyone. If you want to equate legal with morally good, the changes they are making to their API is tech

By that definition, almost every user on every social media platform would be an "employee". What reddit mods are doing is really not that different from creating a facebook group to organise a party with your friend or a twitter

can you name a single from r/aww ? Could you even tell if they reopened it with new mods? People are not that passionate about mods from a sub about cute animals. Even in subs where people are very passionate about moderation, they j

I got a few viruses myself. There were no free easy to use like we have today to sandbox an application or run a VM and it was well known that almost all cracks/keygen gave false positive. We just rolled the dice and hoped for the bes

yes, things have definitely changed for video games in the past few years. Loot boxes and the concept of being peer-pressured into paying money for trendy skins is not something that existed when I grew up. TBH, I think many concepts that

Microsoft is in a different situation because everyone is already forced to trust them with their OS and o365. For better or for worse, there are no current alternatives to Windows and the office suite for most businesses. If you already lo

I don't that's true in the context of businesses because they won't want their data to be leaked and/or used for other clients. The more data from your company you can feed the AI, the more productive it will be for you.

what made the original facebook so great is that it was 1) semi-exclusive (ei. your parents weren't on it) 2) The content you saw on your feed was 100% things that your direct friends manually typed or shared with you. No recommended p

The difference is that a new article carefully chosen to fit your preferences doesn't magically appear on your lap every time you finish reading (or rejecting if you don't like it) the previous one. You also can't swift quick

if it was that clear, why would they refuse to confirm it? You can't argue an answer is super evident and at the same time insist that it is impossible for you to provide it.

A massive amount of US dollars is held purely because countries and companies are forced to use it for many types of transactions (eg. trading oil). It's not by choice, they have a gun to head. The US has proven over and over again tha

The US is less than 7% of the world's population, they can manage to survive without us. It's wouldn't be easy for them, but it won't cause the same level of disaster in China as what you would see in the US. A big irony

The way I see it, there is also good reason why keygens are encrypting their payload. But that doesn't change the fact that getting viruses from them was extremely common until we got reputable repack site (eg. fit-girl) that tests th

This is so common (not just in the EU) that it makes me feel like it was done by design in a lot of cases. By creating these massive overcomplicated bills, they make sure only a handful of individuals are capable of reading them and the re

The irony with all of this is that if you live in a country allied with the US, you are safer on Tiktok than any US-bases social media platform. If you live in a western country, the US has way more power to fuck over your life than China

The company receiving the payment needs to convert the BTC to fiat if they want to pay their employees, infrastructure costs, etc. At a small scale, there are a lot of options to go around it and also avoid KYC, but it's not really a v
