   According to the spez AMA, Reddit is not profitable.

   UK food prices were (until recently) very low relative to income, because we have about 7 major national supermarket chains.

   One consequence is bespoke music that changes dynamically, e.g. in games. There's also a relative dearth of royalty free music for independent content creators to use. AI would enable them to produce better content on a limited budget.

   It's not even profitable _now_ with all their monetization. But their overhead is millions of $/year. There is precedent for non-profit sites of that size but it won't be easy.

   I don't think it will because there's no solid alternative. If/when there is, and the most active users - the ones contributing the content and moderating the comments - start leaving, then it will turn into an empty husk of

   Another dark pattern is hijacking back to move you to the 'front page' of the site. Like twitter, get linked to a tweet and then the back button takes you to your feed, which absolutely nobody requested.

    Fuck Lenovo too. Overcharging for their laptops then putting them on a huge sale multiple times a month.

    Or making QR codes harder to read on certain cameras or lighting conditions by removing the error correction!

    I think it's less about black/white and more about the outlined art style. A lot of these QR codes are painted. There are painted manga (Lost in Abyss comes to mind) but they are a rarity.

    Assuming you mean a sex shop, 'hentai' would refer to basically the entire store's stock, so I think you'd need to be a bit more specific! It doesn't automatically refer to manga or anime like it does in the West.

    My Japanese friend said "アニメのQRコード?" when I sent them this link, so I think that usage works in both languages.

    Suprisingly calling "man git add" will also look for a manpage call "git-add" and display it.

    Three 'e's is not correct. ー is a single mora, so should usually be one vowel. E.g. ラーメン is raamen not raaamen. ショ is sho (or syo if you use Japan-style romanization) not tsu. So the proper romanisation is something like 'ani

    I don't follow your last two paragraphs. If you unsub from the default subs and stay on smaller ones then you get exactly that small forum experience. The downvote system kills a lot of toxic arguments and insults that forums tend to b

    I'm willing to donate to a site that offers the best parts of reddit with a fast, clean and usable interface. That might be lobste.rs in a few years. Reddit was good for like 6-7 years (I was a member back when there was only one &#x27

    I hope Lemmy does well, but I don't think it's going to replace Reddit (and that's likely fine in the eyes of the Lemmy team) Nobody wants a federated, slow, difficult to use version of reddit. Nobody wants to choose a server

    It's also not worth organising or even deleting your pile of note trash. Just make sure your notes are searchable if/when you need them later.

    It's hilariously easy to spot astroturfing comments and posts on reddit vs. actual opinions. Real posters don't spend years frequenting the same niche subs writing multiple paragraph comments about the same topic. Sure those opini

    I blocked reddit for a week. I was much more productive and I'm having a hard time thinking of what I missed out on. I told myself it was full of interesting discussions but I basically forgot all of it the second I had closed the tab.
