You don't even have to go that far back. Howard Dean's enthusiastic-but-awkward yell was such a non-issue, and it still ruined his whole campaign.

He didn’t want to buy the company. So, he’s turning it into a pet project.
That's a good point, and one that had not occurred to me. For all we know, he's already mentally written off the $44 billion as a loss and is just having fun with it, with no expectation of success.
That would explain a lot.

The problem is all the other people voting the wrong way with their bigger wallets.
It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I've noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It's still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don't click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.
That was always part of the enshittification formula. The final stage after exploiting users is to exploit business customers to the breaking point.
Now that's putting the "shit" in "shitpost".

If they're truly trying to be old school, I agree. Many such games actually come with adjustable filters to simulate that kind of distortion, and even arcade-like screen curvature (e.g., Hammerwatch).
That said, modern pixel art is evolving its own aesthetic that is valid and enjoyable in its own right. I don't think everyone making modern pixel art games is necessarily trying to be old school.
If you're talking about tracking cookies, I'm sure Reddit has plenty of them.
I saw someone posit that he might have a humiliation fetish. It's the only explanation I've seen that seems rational.
That's what they want you to think. (not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not)
Even if that's true, once they become a part of the ecosystem, they will start looking for ways to dominate it. That's just the nature of for-profit corporations.
I prefer to believe the cleaner did know english, but he didn't think to try.

IIRC, that was even formally discouraged by rediquette - the idea being that such a reply is not meaningfully different from just giving an upvote.
This could be difficult to apply for such an extended period of time, but I generally have good results by just breathing exclusively through my mouth. Pretend you're underwater and breathing through a snorkel.
This technique has gotten me through many a fart and temporary sewage/fertilizer exposure.
From reading the article, it sounds like Spotify itself doesn't get directly affected. Instead, the record companies and advertisers are upset. The record companies, because the shared pool of royalties that gets paid out is now getting split with white noise creators, leaving them a smaller share of the pie. The advertisers, because most people listening to white noise are using it to fall asleep or just keeping it on in the background, and therefore nobody will be listening/paying attention when the ads come on.
Tough titties for them, you may say, but if they don't like it, they may take their respective balls and go home. That would seriously impact Spotify, since without the music, most users will quickly lose interest, and the advertisers are a large part of their revenue stream. If they don't do something, they could end being a streaming service predominantly for white noise, which would be far less profitable.
It should also be taken into account that a lot of the white noise hits were not organic, but the result of a problem with how Spotify set up their algorithm.
We have truly come full circle.
I agree in general, but search feels like an odd example. That space has been dominated by ad companies since even before the internet (e.g., Yellow Pages).

I've heard games like Elite are less problematic, since you're sitting still and the vehicle is moving. Apparently that makes it more natural, compared to moving around on foot in the game but standing still in real life.
That's a good way of putting it. Reminds me of how the technology behind gorilla glass had been around for decades, but its use suddenly exploded when smartphones came along and needed something like it. Wouldn't surprise me if Blockchain ends up existing as a niche thing for a long time until a killer app for it comes along.
It might also help with the potential problem of entire communities being eradicated by rogue actions from an instance admin, or instance issues in general. If the community is spread out across multiple instances, it can weather problems on its "main" instance without being as easily dispersed.
In the case of Star Citizen, they used to support it, but since the game is still being actively developed in the alpha stage it kept breaking. Not worth the time and money to keep fixing it, so they put it on hold. As far as I know, they still plan to support it after the main feature set is stabilized and they go into polishing mode.
But I agree, it would be great if it still/already had native support.
I got a similar effect by constructing a purpose-made monitor shelf. It's not as good for having a wide area open for large items, but it allows multiple levels for stacking, which works out great. It has one low shelf inside, just high enough to fit a keyboard and hands underneath, and then the top surface to put the actual monitors on. Keeping the bottom floor clear makes it easy to slide the keyboard in to make some temporary room in front of the structure, and the inside shelf provides a large general-purpose cavity for papers, mail, snacks, or what-have-you. There's also some room on the top to pile things up next to the monitors.
The original goal was just to get the monitors up to eye level, but I ended up enjoying the extra space at least as much.
I'm Spartacus!
I even got an error page the first time I tried to load this post. Just like old times! 🥲
Most of what we experience as taste is actually smell. It's generally not an issue.
The trick is to not put the smelly thing inside your mouth.
It wasn't up the whole time. I went looking for it a few years ago after a new OS install, and found that, at the time, the site was in limbo with some message about coming back eventually, but no official way to download it. Glad it's back, hope they didn't turn it into enshittified bloatware.
Viewing the images directly sounds to me like a different context. Browsing the images is more akin to end user activity, i.e. using the server for its intended purpose. Managing the server is more like making sure it's running, that there is enough space allocated, security holes are plugged, software is up-to-date, etc. Administrative tasks. When wearing the admin hat, there wouldn't usually be much of a need to actually look at the photos - you'd be more concerned with file names and metadata, not contents. In that context, the GUI becomes less important. And if you ever do need to see them, you can always fire up the GUI software for that occasional situation.
Don't know about Teamspeak, but you never HAD to pay for Mumble. You could just run the server on any machine you wanted, including the same one as your client.
I assume you still can, for that matter.
*somebody set up us the bomb!
Makes me wonder if that's what Digg was doing...
Your instance would only matter if it is small-scale enough that users haven't subbed to the originating instances, if it has deliberately defederated from them, or if you are browsing by Local instead of All.
They had that in the 80s, too.
We are slowly turning ourselves into Krikkit.
