spez doesn’t care, be just wanted the money for his doomsday bunker.

“I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

If I wanted Facebook shitposts and forwards from KlanMa, I’d’ve joined Facebook. And I don’t believe Meta has good intentions, I believe they want to overwhelm the fediverse, and I believe they want to make money. Middle-manager Cottle and their team may have good intentions, but corporate certainly doesn’t, and I certainly don’t trust their users.

I feel like something changed

He grew up a rich white boy in full-Apartheid South Africa. He’s never grown up (Tesla models S,3,X,Y! Tesla fart noises! 42069 amirite!).

Nothing changed, he just got bored and started interacting with the poor’s and people noticed the person he really was.

It was pretty obvious that Trump would try to scam Musk. Fortunately, given his own difficulties, Musk was unlikely to agree - we’re just fortunate these bills are coming due so far in advance of the election. And also that, given Musk’s foreign birth, he’ll never be eligible to be president or vice president (something that I’m sure sticks in his craw).

Lmao, I was thinking more about how fractious reddit is even without provocation, but you’re right, too!

users could become unruly if Reddit stock falls below the IPO price.

Lmao, dude doesn’t know redditors at all, do they?

Spez is trying to outfit his doomsday bunker and wants the cash.

So anyone who hasn’t logged in for 30 days is considered inactive and their account may be subject to being seized and sold? Fuck that shit.

Sure, let me give all my money to the broke billionaire with the bad investment history - what could go wrong?!

Danielle Nett, an editor with NPR’s engagement team, writes in the staff memo that spending less time on Twitter has helped with staff burnout. “That’s both due to the lower manual lift — and because the audience on Threads is seemingly more welcoming to publishers than on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, where snark and contrarianism reign,” Nett writes.

Snark and contrarianism, on reddit?! I’m shocked!

Actual creepiness is limited to two messages per week.

That said, I’m sure that (now the door is cracked slightly) there’ll be another tier with ten messages, twenty, a hundred …

I understand the difference, but he’s collecting stuff just because it’s shiny. He’s short of cash because he has no impulse control, and I fail to see why he shouldn’t fail the same way other people who overextend themselves fail.

One of the richest people in the entire world wants still more money. Tell me again how “trickle-down economics” works?

Remember, he grew up a rich white boy in full apartheid South Africa, and never matured beyond that. He has no ability for self-reflection or introspection. Which means he’s never wrong, so someone else must be to blame. So far, that’s included religious, racial, and sexual minorities. He’s only going to grow more deranged as time goes on.

I like it less cluttered. Reddit’s was always crowded and overwhelming, here you can actually see things.

I swear Collider is the worst, it’s all just ten best/worst [whatever], according to reddit. I absolutely hate that Google continues to include them in their news feed.

During one of the recent discussions with reddit (I’ve no idea which one, it may be linked in /r/bestof but I try not to give them traffic), the mods asked reddit a whole series of questions about their plans for accessibility, things like: does anyone at reddit have accessibility certifications and what are they? has anyone there ever done accessibility programming? is anyone involved in the accessibility support disabled in any way? have they talked with any disabled people to see what kind of support or devices they need? what kinds of devices is reddit planning to support, and are they specifically covering this set? do they plan to program to certain standards? etc, etc, etc.

If reddit was actually committed to providing decent accessibility support, they’d have answers for most of the questions. Instead, they had absolutely no idea what any of those things meant. Absolutely none of the points that got raised were things that reddit had even considered as something that needed to be addressed. And that’s why everyone expects reddit’s “accessibility tools” to fail miserably. It’s not that they don’t have home field advantage, or they’re losing the game, or even that they’re just making their way into the field; reddit doesn’t even know what game they’re fucking playing, much less have they even left their home city to eventually get to the field.

That’s the thing that’s always bothered me about the online services. Sure, I can “buy” a movie or series or whatever, but I only have actual access to it so long as I still subscribe, the service has rights, and I have access (like, if I’m on a plane or ship, suddenly I can’t watch something).

If I download a copy, it’s mine for as long as the physical media lasts. I can keep it theoretically forever, I can put copies on my phone or the cloud, stream to my computer, my cousin’s tv, whatever.

Well, first off, you’re in the wrong thread. Your points are valid: the viewport glass was technically rated for the depth, but the viewport company said that they wouldn’t actually stand behind it because OceanGate was using a different hull. The viewport company suggested a different viewport but it was more expensive and OceanGate refused.

The torque on the bolts wasn’t something that had occurred to me and is interesting.

My theory is that the carbon fiber hull collapsed, due to the strain of pressure cycling. It’s something the whistleblower was concerned about, and apparently they accepted visibly flawed carbon fiber for the hull.

We have an old desktop that’s usually turned on for one reason or another. The easiest thing for us was to make the D:\ drive visible on wifi, put all the media on the D:\ drive, and stick VLC on everyone’s Roku/FireTV sticks. That way we didn’t have to manually add new things to specific drives or worry about which TV’s could watch which shows or accidentally run out of space on a thumb drive.
