Read all four books and still don't know what they actually are.

And those fuckers have the gall to call themselves patriots. If anything, she's s Russian patriot.

If you allow businesses in residential neighborhoods, "those" people might come there! The horror!

I really want a tomboy gf, but I guess I'll have to take one for the team.

I have a few more slurs for him to ban:

"Emerald mine owner"

"Slave labour profiteer"

"Your daughter hates you"

"Minus two thirds valuation"

"Still no self driving"

Except I've left Twitter long ago. Too bad.

This is a very short-sighted way of looking at things. The real crunch will come on June 30th when the third party apps stop working. That will cause many people to switch away from Reddit or at least reduce their usage. Also, the current shenaigans will have a long term negative effect on the quality of moderation and thus the quality of content. And people will think twice about putting a lot of effort into producing content. They've been on a downward slope in this regard for a long time but this will only accelerate it.

If there was no intellectual property, what would prevent a company like Amazon to simply sell any work every published in their best monopoly marketplace without ever giving a cent to the creators? How would, for instance, the author if a novel make money?

Exactly. I don't give a fuck about Reddit any more. I'd rather be in a niche community with (some) quality content than on some huge site with mainly reposts. We're not in competition with Reddit. Were trying to be a better alternative.

This reads like a headline from some Superman-Comic where Lex Luthor was elected governor.

No matter how dumb AI is, it will be an improvement over a lot of people.

Quality is more important than quantity. The people who left Reddit are more likely to be engaged and create content. Most people on Reddit just consume content. If nobody is there to create any, those will leave too.

At this point, it's not about what is logical or sensible. Huffman would rather burn the place down than admit he was wrong.

Reddit used to be some kind of refuge from the unmitigated cesspool of corporate bullshit that other social media have become. Or so I kept telling myself. The fact is they're doing all they can right now to jump headlong into said cesspool. Social media that isn't centralized and owned by greed driven megacorporations is the only way forward in my opinion. I hope kbin/lemmy/Mastodon can become that.

I think he prefers to be called "Space Adolf" these days.

OP's next logical move is to have an affair with the boyfriend's mother.

He must have been such an insufferable ass, though. The original edgelord.

My account was suspended without any notification at all. I was pretty close to giving up on Reddit anyway, so that was just the final straw. Bit sad, though, I spent a lot of time on Reddit. But now it's time say "fuck you, spez".

That's the key point. More than 90% of their users never post, comment or even vote.

Do you use Arch?

The cruelty is the point. As long as the "right" people get hurt, they're happy about it.

That is a possibility. I hope it'll turn out differently. But basically I'm done with Reddit. My main hope is that kbin/lemmy become viable alternatives.

They don't idolise Trump because he's so capable, they're in it for the fascism.

How many Democrats have been indicted and convicted of crimes related to their political office in recent years? Of course there is corruption in both parties but the Republicans aren't even on the same planet in that respect. If you think bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe, you might be a victim of echo chambers.

There's been some amount of whining going on that deserves to be called out. But constructive criticism should always be welcome. Some amount of redundancy, i.e. multiple people complaining about the same things, is unavoidable.

Those are people who know how to evade data collection. We count those as ours.

I can call you some homophobic slur, if that will make you feel better?

This is going to be unironically posted on Facebook by some anti-science knuckle-dragger.

It's the kind that makes you get a ladyboy. Duh.

They've been saying stuff like this from day one. But in reality they don't give a shit

If it remains a one-off, it won't make much of a difference. If it becomes a trend, spez is toast.

You could look at the package that's mentioned in the first line in Synaptic. The error message says it can't find a file. Fürst thing is do is check if that fike is actually there.

Might have residue of hydrazine or other nasty stuff, though. Definitely not safe to be around until it's been checked out.

So what will be left of Reddit? What's the point of trying to turn it into 9gag? They can't be that removed from reality.

Absolutely not. These people know exactly what they're doing. Except Donnie Cheeto of course, who genuinely has no idea of what is true and what is false. That's why he comes across as so "authentic" to the morons.

Where can you legitimately buy music these days? I'll be happy to pay if the artist gets their fair share. I used to buy from Amazon but that has gone completely to shit recently. Like they really don't want you to buy stuff from them any more. And I cannot bring myself to give a cent to Spotify when they paid 100 million to Joe fucking Rogan.

A German corporation

You have two cows.
The government fines you for not having a "Rauhfutterverzehrendegroßvieheinheitsgenehmigung".
You sue the government, you win your case.
The government has the case reviewed. It winds it's way through all levels of courts until the Bundesverfassungsgericht.
You win again.
The cows have died from neglect.

With Synaptic, you can show all files associated with a package. That includes config files. Saved me a lot of hassle on numerous occasions.

And think of all the toxic waste we could dump into that lake! Isn't capitalism beautiful?

The point is, you guys have let those dickheads (i.e. settlers) set the agenda for decades now. That does reflect poorly on the country as a whole.

What are you, some kind of communist? Of course not. They said it exists. That's enough.
