Oh yeah you’re right we should just not even bother voting and let the right wing win.

This has been my weekly reminder that there are people who use Bing. Harrowing.

Isn’t it easier to just jump the turnstiles?

During these formative years of the Web, web pages could only be static, lacking the capability for dynamic behavior after the page was loaded in the browser.

And it was better. Frankly, http was a mistake, humanity would be healthier and happier if we stopped at gopher.

Crypto will never be a thing. We’ll be in a Star Trek style post-economy future where the concept of money is worthless before crypto will ever be a viable alternative to fiat currency, at least for anything aside from buying drugs online from dudes with roman statue avatars who talk like anime villains.

Not a single solid reason given

Well not to you, but that doesn’t mean much considering you think spyware is fine as long as it’s opt-in (and that being a furry is equivalent in severity to being homophobic, wtf). The fact that you think this article is bad is basically a ringing endorsement.

No you’re not, you’re just making that up

Probably because you’re a smug, combative asshole. The fuck is wrong with you?

The fact that you’re able to think that is all I need to hear, you’re officially beyond my power to help. Good luck, you’re going to need it.

Infinity was originally a Reddit app that has been forked. This came up more than once:

“This is intended”.

Maybe that’s different now, but normal people don’t pay attention to feature upgrades on open source projects that they don’t use, and the fact that this was intended behavior led me to believe there was no particular reason it would ever change, especially since it still hadn’t when I last used the app some time after the dev commented in the second screenshot.

It was like that because of a deliberate design choice that enjoyed widespread support

It’s become increasingly clear that Steve and his cronies are desperately trying to get Reddit to its IPO with value intact so they can cash out and leave someone else holding the bag. As I’ve said elsewhere, I wouldn’t be surprised if he and others end up shorting Reddit.

Lemmy has been having some issues lately where responses aren’t going to the thread the submitter actually clicked on

Steve has very little agency over business decisions at this point, he’s more of a quasi-independent mouthpiece for his investors.

I have no doubt Reddit will continue to shamble onwards as a rotting husk for years, but I’m not going back. I never really liked it to begin with.

That’s reddit’s auto-generated username format. Most bots use those.

coming from a disinformation campaign

It wouldn’t be surprising:
