Who is influencing all these tech companies to be this greedy lately?

They took the pepe frogs for a while too, but I've been seeing them come back. Nature is healing.

I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where others were from, then sit there in awe. "HONEY, I'm talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!"

Lots of individual game subs

This is depressing, but it also bothers me that there's such a large distinction between how the average person would picture a "school shooting" and what these articles are talking about. Is there a name for that in journalism?

Like, if someone told me "there was a school shooting at school X today", like most people I would immediately picture someone walking into the building and firing indiscriminately at everyone. Not, "a couple of teens got in a fight in the parking lot, and one pulled out a gun", or "someone shot at the school's sign". (Which are also horrible, but I feel like we need separate terms)

From the article:

According to the report, the most commonly known situations associated with such incidents included "escalation of dispute," "drive-by," "illegal activity," "accidental firing of a weapon" and "intentional property damage."

This is what happens when we take transformers cartoons out of schools.

It's horrible, don't get me wrong. I worry about my own little one, but the distinction is an order of magnitude of a difference in my head. Like the distinction between a troublemaker throwing a lit match in a trash can vs some maniac dousing a building in gasoline.

That's a big name to drop out.

What an irredeemable monster.

It sort of feels like the old days of reddit. I had forgotten how nice it was.

None of it should be happening is right. I just get a skeezy feeling when articles use language they know will get people thinking one thing when they mean another.

It's been an internet thing for long before 2016 (at least mid 00s in my memory), so I don't associate it with them.

Trump’s lead over the other GOP contenders widened following his federal indictment earlier this month.

...it widened after this? Jesus.

Thus solving the problem once and for all

Yeah, I don't trust Google hardware enough to spend 2k on something.

You're supposed to let those batteries fully deplete sometimes anyway.

Showing it as a giant dome makes it seem eerily menacing and surreal.

Because a columbine type of school shooting is different than property damage.

And people writing these articles know that "some destructive teens did donuts in the school parking lot at night and shot the stop sign" isn't what people think when they say that a "school shooting" has happened.

Reddit used to be slowly to refresh a long time ago, before they tweaked how the front page worked. You would pretty much have the top posts all day, and maybe it would change by the evening.

It was slower paced and fostered more discussion before people would move on, but it wasnt as good at giving the novelty dopamine hit compared to a faster churn.

I was just thinking "this looks like that gorilla game I played as a kid!" but I've never heard anyone mention it before!

Howdy

Not to mention the less tangible costs too, like the company's reputation and trust.

Or starting a gold rush for reddit competitors that didn't exist previously.

I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where people were from, then sit there in awe. "HONEY, I'm talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!"

I figured it was just his name. He looks like a Lemmy to me.

I bet FFXIV could build a community here. It's still huge!

I think whatever guides are given, they need to be simple.

I delayed making the jump to Lemmy for a while because every time I saw someone explain it, they got into all the complexities of the fediverse that weren't really relevant to me yet, and it seemed like too much trouble.

That's depressing. What would they need to see to drop this guy?

What happened to the 2nd screen on the 3DS?!
