As a Chrome apologist really this pisses me off but I've been waiting for this forever and applaud the team (especially if they beat Chrome to landing this in a stable release)

False dichotomy; I alternate between ignoring it AND being annoyed by it

The ~7000 QAnon accounts they banned don't fit your narrative I'm afraid. There are now several intermediate steps they've added since then, like clear warnings [1]. This allows the account to stay active and still report o

Yes that's the go-to copypasta reply. ("Literally" here meaning "not literally.") Twitter changed their policy in response to criticism of the Biden tweets to "no longer remove hacked material unless it’s direc

It's not a bug to disallow "distribution of hacked material" in your Terms of Service. If you think it was political, you should certainly inform the FEC! They found that Twitter had acted "for commercial reasons and not

For sake of discussion: aren't there uses of this that aren't nefarious? Their claim that employees intending to leave "may put the organization at risk of malicious or inadvertent data exfiltration upon departure" is, c

Does your general comment have to do with this specific study? They mention controlling for all the things you mentioned.

I've had people try to guess my login with Company ABC once they learned of my CompanyXYZ@mydomain.com address. Avoiding the reuse of email addresses helps here, the same way avoiding the reuse of passwords does. For blackhats, with ca

Calendar apps are so complicated and tightly integrated with other productivity apps now I'm not sure the benefit of simplicity here outweighs the cost of losing that. My Google cal emails me notifications, works with desktop calendar

That was an SPAC in 2016, OP said "the night of the DNC primary in 2015." I was there for the CTR debacle, the SPAC hasn't existed since 2016(?), do you think they're still funding accounts?

I've never heard someone say "the night of the DNC primary in 2015 there was a dramatic shift." Not sure what your comment about ads is related to.

by stimpson_j_cat 4y ago
Mine's older than yours and I don't know what you mean, the DNC targeted reddit? Dramatic shift? Reddit started far left (being focused on science and tech) even horse-shoeing to the point where it attracted a big Ron Paul fan bas

No, it changed reddit from having interesting content and mostly useful constructive commentary to being full of memes and jokes (like Digg). Sure there were pun threads before, but you didn't have to custom tailor the front page to ke

The biggest change came after the migration from Digg, which would have been about 5 years prior. the_donald brought a lot of a younger users and white supremacists. I haven't seen a DNC-related reddit conspiracy before though. Certain

Right it varies greatly depending on dose. If you don't know the exact dose your friend took (they don't sound like an anesthesiologist) then you're insulting someone you likely know much less than.

Erp, sorry, you already dismissed me as "just a jerk" when I gave you a chance to reply. I'd read what you wrote, but I don't want you to regret "engaging" again.

You're talking about the site that hosted the biggest hugbox for republicans on the internet before it got banned (the_donald). /r/conservative is 50k shy of a million users. White supremacist reddits are a problem now. Rand

Sorry if I came off that way, make sure to flag me. A big draw of the site was that it was so focused on politics, science and programming; if you'd been a regular user you just wouldn't debate that, I don't know how else to

There is, and reddit has always been the former. If you just joined in the last 5 years maybe you'd be surprised to learn. Digg was not the exact same way; reddit in contrast had a huge Ron Paul audience (pretty much everything but

by stimpson_j_cat 5y ago
Yeah, reddit's been this way since the Digg migration (10 years ago)?

Yes the author's previous blog article "COVID-19 Restrictions are the new Sharia Law" might give you an idea of why these "random" cherry-picked example reddit comments made it into this article.

It would be great to have a place to have engaging discussion regarding Y-Combinator-backed startups that good hackers would find interesting.

Sound the alarms! Odd, my friend completed their sexual reassignment surgery because they identified so strongly as male-gendered. I'm going to need to remind them they're actually trying to get rid of gender! Silly them! Let&#x
