Why are 3rd party apps still working?
  • Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

  • RIP RIF
  • Not logged in. Seems to be only read mode.

  • Why don't upvotes count?
  • I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

  • The End of the Internet is Here.
  • So we make the Internet ours again.

  • Perez and Verstappen having a discussion after the sprint race
  • Verstappen: What happened mate?
    Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
    Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
    Checo: No.

    Checo: Turn 3 tho.
    Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.

  • 'Rate limit exceeded;' Twitter down for thousands of users worldwide
  • I'd say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
    The world will be a better place.

  • Freedom of thought and freedom to post.
  • Example. One of the better subreddits has a "few" rules.

    The rules are too long for a post here.... so you get a small image.

    Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.

  • Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • Nobody wants to listen.

    When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

    We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.

    "The planet will be fine, it's us humans that are fucked." /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.

  • Freedom of thought and freedom to post.

    Reddit seems to restrict posting so much in different subs that freedom of thought is impacted. One has to think if the post is within not only Reddit rules, but the special rules in the sub, and one had to make the title and post Reddit specific in style (simple, punny, meta). And if one happened to post a topic that was really good or great, a mod sometimes deleted the post anyway with a vague explanation.... and then you see the post appear by that same mod with slightly different wording as it was their own. Call them out on it and you were muted, and sometimes even banned. If one had a dissenting opinion on a topic, and brought forth a compelling argument, automatically the post was downvoted by the hive-mind and no discussion took place.

    They called themselves the front page of the Internet. I found the doors closed and locked and all the pens out of ink.

    RIP RIF
  • Weird. RIF still works here.

  • Goodbye RIF - Talklittle's Goodbye to Reddit is Fun users
  • RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

  • What's your most-loved non-star movie/show?
  • Red Dwarf.
    It's goofy. It's campy. It's sometimes terrible.
    But it grows on you and by the time you are done through season 2 you love the show and only want more. And oh yes there is more, much more.

  • What "third generation" Trek is worth watching?
  • I pained myself through 2 seasons of Discovery hoping it would become better, but no. Just no. I'd go as far as stating it barely qualifies as Star Trek at all. As a generic TV show it even worse, bland and overall just flat. I didn't care about any of the characters and today I don't even recall 1 single characters name.

    Picard is very uneven, but oh boy does it find it's footing. It's worth getting through S1 and S2 to get to the payoff in S3.

    Other than those, Lower Desk is Trek through and through and through again. They.Nailed.It.

  • If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place
  • Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don't want to see that.
    And no, we don't need to grow the Fediverse that way. It's better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.

    Learn from history. Don't repeat it!

  • American TikTok user data stored in China, video app admits
  • Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
    Oh wait. It's wholly expected.

  • Are there any good jobs out there where you can show up, do your work, and then just leave when it's done?
  • You'd be surprised how many jobs just requires you to sit in a chair all day looking busy.

    I do my dayjob, in an office with the screen not visible to anyone else, and when there is no work to do I go ahead and do some of my independent work. I look busy as heck all 8 workhours. I get no extra reqests to "help out", or last minute critical whatever.
    I make 2.5-3x my job salary.

  • Freight train carrying hot asphalt, molten sulfur plunges into the Yellowstone River as bridge fails
  • It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
    The richest country on earth can't even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
    That same country suffers from economic troubles.
    Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
    What's standing in their way?

  • Kremlin decides that goal to ''demilitarise'' Ukraine has largely been achieved
  • Don't care about the reason why. Just get out.

  • Microsoft is getting rid of the following File Explorer features on Windows 11
  • Photoshop was the last program that kept me on Windows. Photopea.com does 95% of what my old Photoshop 5.5 does for me.
    I'm 99% ready to move over to a Linux distro for day to day home use, and 90% done for work.
    All my users are already dualboot ready, they just dont know it yet.

    I suggest to make a list of program on Windows that are critical for you, and then make a list of programs on Linux (that are maintained) and install everything on a 2nd SSD. The cost is negligible and you can tinker as much as you want without breaking your Windows install in any way.
