In a statement, Fitch cited three reasons for downgrading the US rating: concerns the US economy is going to deteriorate over the next three years; a high national debt; and repeated political standoffs over managing the country’s finances (specifically, brinksmanship over the country’s self-imposed debt limit, the cap on how much to US can borrow to pay its bills).

Emphasis mine. This honestly makes a lot of sense. This is not something a rational, credible actor does.

People were freaking out about a possible default.

Military spending still increased under trump. The only war machines he shut down were our allies' we were helping in local conflicts. That and showing the US is unreliable if someone like him gets office again

Discord servers do not fill the void of a subreddit. I hate that some communities have exclusively moved there. It's nearly impossible to have a real discussion on an active server

Of course it's from around Worcester 🙄

I think reddit may become what facebook has become. I still use fb for marketplace and niche hobby and local groups. I can see reddit going the same way. I wonder what tech they're going to throw all of their money at...

Wow, this is one of the few times I've seen a level headed take on Snowden in the wild

This would go against Dem's #1 policy: self-sabotage.

Lets hope the company stays afloat after this one. Hopefully they can get more billionaires to sign on

I've gotten it to give boiler plate for converting one library to another for certain embedded protocols for different platforms. It creates entry level code, but nothing that's too hard to clean up or to get the gist of how a library works.

Facebook is nowhere near as dead as you think it is. It is still the best place for local groups and many niche hobbyist groups. I really don't want reddit to be another version of that, 1 crappy social site is enough. Also you're missing a key differentiating factor: facebook has actual paid content moderators.

I don't think reddit will die, at least not right away (remember, digg shut down finally in 2018).

Best case scenario is they hemorrhage users, fail ipo, and then join the fediverse. I say this because joining will create a bridge for new users to come here.
Worst case scenario is they become like twitter. which is possible.
My money is on them trying to sell to Microsoft or Google for ai training, and keeping their api private.

but TotK is just GMod with Zelda models and poorly written furry fanfic. Some great elements there, but nothing special, and I'd say it fits in your 'above average open world games'

Have you tried #ifdef'd global variables? Should definitely make things easier to read

I've never heard of either, After reading about them, are there any down sides?

People HATE that deboosting shit. People HATE the idea that the corps track this data to try and get inside your head and see how you think and act, so they can better influence it to their own ends. And right now, it's no longer really about an app as it is, it's all about meta. This will be gasoline on the fire.

TicTok is still very popular

So hot that it feels like I'm playing a totally different game than reviewers

It deserves a good review, but I'd say it's nowhere near the best game.

alarm clock xtreme has it, but I think avg bought them.
I think SAA made their captcha api open, and I've been meaning to write a language learning captcha, etc, but f that because it's not foss

I don't see how. Is it the best game you've ever played?

They do not. At least not for me

Not just the year, it is in the top 50 of all time. Beating games like Portal 2, TP, MM, Skyrim, TW3. Also, what has come out this year that hasn't flopped, been a remaster/release, or isn't FFXVI?

We only accept you if it's your back yard /s

I love spending half of combat searching through menus...

That potentially millions of 3rd party app users may leave has nothing but good consequences in their eyes (less resources spent on free users), and if even 1% of those convert to their 1st party apps or website that's a net gain for them

But the problem is those people are potential content creators. They are arguably more advanced users, and therefore more likely to create content. And that content drives engagement, which drives ads.

There's also a staggering lack of good content. That, and a bunch of QoL problems have yet to be fixed.
