A made the mistake of watching YouTube on my TV a few weeks back, without an ad blocker. I was getting 1-3 15 second ads every 2-3 minutes!

Dolly would never become a billionaire, she’d give away that money to help people lomg before.

Here in Australia, during the 80’s, 90’s before widespread internet. There would be several European’s who needed rescuing each year as they decided to try and walk between major cities, because it looks close on a map.

I remember one German guy who needed rescuing while trying to walk from Sydney to Adelaide…that’s 1200km away…in a straight line.

Nah mate. Just rip up the streets and relay them yourself, it’s so simple smh.

Similar to twitter.

If I go to twitter mainpage I can’t see anything without logging in.

If I go direct to a profile I see can’t see anything without logging and;

If I go to a specific post, I can read the initial post but nothing else.

That’s what I expect will happen to Reddit

I suspect you’re correct, although I doubt removing old.reddit will cause much of a stir.

Notice how Reddit is releasing 1 shitty update every few weeks rather than all at once? By the time one shit update is released the vast majority of users have forgotten the previous one. Remember the API change? I reckon most of Reddits existing users don’t anymore. I suspect old.reddit will go the same way.

I’ll bet cash that it’s only a short matter of time before old.reddit is shutdown and within 6 months of that happening Reddit access will be locked behind account login.

I think his point is that as long as Google is the primary funding source for Mozilla it’s not worth relying on Firefox because there’s always the risk Google will demand Mozilla capitulates and tows the line. Once/If Mozilla secure independent funding then they can be ‘trusted’

I was going to make fun of you for being American, but then I realised that’s like punching an abused puppy.

RIP my dude, hopefully one day you guys can join the modern world.

You Forgot the classic

There’s a cafe near me that’s open 24/7. I’ve been in there a couple of times and the coffee is horrible, the last time I visited the guy behind the counter didn’t know how to turn on the espresso machine and had to call his boss.

But I’m 100% certain all those people turning up at 1am are just getting a caffeine hit before heading to the clubs

Haha nah

There’s a word filter so I was only seeing “Removed” in place of the actual word. Confused the shit out of me. Now it all makes sense

Oooooooooooh shit that makes sense now hahahahahaha.

I didn’t even know there was a word filter!

I’m sitting here all confused thinking “Removed” was the actual word not what is being displayed here

Is this a localised to the US thing? Here in Aus I’ve never heard removed being used as either an insult or linked to someone with a developmental disability. What context is it used in for a developmental disability?

For me the hide option only appears on the home page version of shorts. I’m stuck with this shit in my subscription feed

My guess is that spez and co are hoping they’ve hit a critical mass of FB level users (your mum, your boss, that wacky aunt, the bus driver, etc) that after they fucked everything and the exodus happens, there will be enough people around who dont care cos “lol cats funny”.

I drop by Reddit 1-2 times per day but only at home on my PC and using old.reddt. There are still a couple of communities on there that haven’t moved to lemme yet.

And my porn account.

That’s a really good point.

Imagine your dog gets run over, you rush them to the vet but ultimately they die and your thousands out of pocket. You call the corporate helpdesk to log a claim because there isn’t anyone else to contact, they offer you $300 in credit for immediate resolution or you can dispute. You become upset because your dog was more than a credit refund, the call centre drone says that you’ve become aggressive, that you can call back during business hours and hangs up.

What a hell scape.
