Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.

Your sky daddy is fake, and I, for one, will not live under your people's delusions of truth.

It's proof that they're used to thinking in terms of being on a monolith, nothing more than that.

Well that depends, you've been pretty thoroughly educated in this post, so now what will you do about it? I fully expect you'll return to your far right anti-woke hatemongering, in which case yes you should be blocked.

Or you can retract it, and maybe there's hope for you yet.

You say "occasional use", I read "given time for dust to collect".

I found my productivity went up as my doomscrolling went down, win-win!

That's the month it happened, so that's the month people post about it, meaning it's also the month it's removed and people cry foul.

LMAO What a take! Thanks for the laugh.

Amazon? You mean the rainforest?
Yahoo? Like a crazy person? Did you misspell the drink?
Sorry, you just tweeted? You mean like a bird?
Tumblr? Oh, facebook for acrobats, right?

Most names sound weird or confusing until you're familiar with it. A googol is a number, but nobody bats an eye when you tell people to "google" something.

His name's 10A... he may well be as sovcit too. Par for the course.

Hmm, for as long as we're drinking PFAS-tainted water sounds fair.

The last several lines are so insanely unhinged, completely untethered from reality lol.

Also, when this guy learns about X11 vs Wayland he's doing to die of an aneurysm.

Yep, every time. I was on reddit to read the content, not browse myspace lol.

Put a banner outside saying "no gratuity necessary, the price you see is the price you pay!" and watch what happens.

Even without that it's not about furries, they're thinking of therians. Furries just think anthro animals look cute, not that they're an animal in a human suit.

Your mind works in disgusting ways...

... I like it lol

Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn't mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they're so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.

We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.

I'm using this one, highly recommend it! 240hz refresh rate, HDR, perfect for coding and gaming. Don't know if it's the exact same as the one in OP's pic, but same concept for sure.

Lol that's a wild concept. $5 for 300 searches... so now when I go down a rabbit hole I have to count my searches.

Also, that gives them perverse incentives. If they make searching just a little frustrating they can get more searches out of you = more money. That's not right.

Before doing this go to Magazines and subscribe to what appeals to you. Magazine = subreddit

Spin up 50 bots.
Sign them all up for lemmy.
Let accounts interact/age.
Sell accounts to companies who want to advertise as one of the cool kids.

Happened on reddit nonstop.

There's still a big difference between making money to survive, and the insane cash grab that was this new API pricing...

Absolutely. Computers are great at picking out patterns across enormous troves of data. Those trends and patterns can absolutely help guide policymaking decisions the same way it can help guide medical diagnostic decisions.

Honestly I feel that the outcome was optimal.

  1. It created animosity towards Reddit.
  2. It exposed major problems with Reddit.
  3. It boosted fediverse's numbers.
  4. It tapered off before the fediverse came crashing down from the influx of millions.
  5. It reinforced the mandate to develop the fediverse, there's clearly something here and it's worth deving towards.
  6. Reddit is guaranteed to shoot itself in the foot again, probably pre-IPO, definitely post-IPO, and now the fediverse is being given some much needed time to flesh itself out before they do.

If Reddit collapsed over this I don't believe the infrastructure exists at this time to onboard all those members, so it's a blessing in disguise.

Well yes, if they use something in a way specifically contraindicated by the nature of the technology then that's problematic.
Do you have evidence that this was the case, or are you moving the goal posts to the "no shit sherlock" zone for an easy win?

Private jets, not fighter jets.

No argument with what you said, I'm just saying there's a big difference between paying for a server, and paying your shareholders.

You wish lol. In truth they can serve this to as many users as they want, and catch garbage outlier responses.

Oh yeah, it was brutal to play Apex on initially, but eventually you relearn where your eye needs to dart to to see your health and stuff and it gets a lot easier.

Then you learn how to process all that peripheral information and nobody can sneak up on you ever again lol.

And for every American-based site being used by a non-American, there are 10 non-Americans griping endlessly about their inferiority complex...

Yep exactly. It also doesn't make a damned bit of difference that you've worded it so clearly a lawyer could cry, and made them agree to a simple acknowledgement.

Jesus H Christ... congrats on being the one millionth person on kbin to say "What are YOU doing?" while talking down their literal list of what they are doing.

a-man-from-earth is right, Kbin is in a sorry state right now. I still get asked to login when I want to comment, despite being logged in, at which point it takes me to the home page. Viewing a reply to your comment is still not pagination-aware.

Ernest has said this version of kbin is frozen until he rolls out the next, hopefully the end of September, so by his own admission Kbin as we know and use it is the same pile it was months ago. That said I remain hopeful that the next rollout will be a big improvement.

Back to the topic, if the site isn't easy and intuitive to use, or if it's broken and remains a thorn for a long time, then you can't expect people to go out of their way to do the thing you want them to do. That's not how the world works.

a-man-from-earth has submitted bug fixes to try and improve the site so people might be more willing to stick around and post themselves, while you're just posting content that'll eventually become irrelevant. What are YOU doing? (See? It's asinine right?)

You're right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.

Covid taught them nothing. It's not short-term profitable so it's unthinkable.

400 atmospheres, or about 6000 PSI

I feel like you're reading a completely different conversation...

Source that they did? I've seen nothing to support that to date.

or are you going to reddit your way out of this conversation?
Wtf? Was that an attempt at condescension?

The guy above is correct, altitude has no effect on the BT transmission. You can assume they used the tech in a way it can't (or nearly can't) be used if you want, I guess. I'm not going to go and prove that they didn't because that was your assertion, not mine. The vessel had many successful dives before this happened, so logic would dictate that the wireless implementation was working.

The designer is dead so the wireless didn't work?

Does that count as a coherent argument to you? I wouldn't make fun of redditors if you can't make a better argument than that...
