Neptune and Uranus seen in true colours for first time
  • InB4 “Uranus seen in true colors for first time.”

    Really though, I don’t know why it never crossed my mind that the picture of Neptune was so… saturated. It’ll take a little bit to reconcile this new perspective of a “light bluish-green” Neptune. It’s just so jarring to alter a belief held since my childhood.

  • Reddit moderator rebellion: AI moderation is part of the solution
  • I imagine there were 2 primary reasons, one financial, one personal:

    Number of heavy users (including a lot of mods) would’ve forced Christian to implement an open-ended cost model based on individual usage, or raise rates across the board to compensate, making it ultimately cost-prohibitive for the average user, and/or

    Not wanting to communicate (by folding) such a change was okay. To move to a blanket cost model is to basically admit that you’re okay with and accept the changes.

    Some might say it was pure stubbornness and greed, or conclude his decision was a bad one. That’s its own topic for debate I guess.

  • What was your dumbest “I’ll never do this when I’m a parent” that you said before you had children?
  • Agreed. I have 3 kids. My wife and I thought we’d raise them on only “healthy” food, but that didn’t stick around too long. Now, we try to prepare healthy food so it’s tasty and they’ll eat it. Instead of flat-out banning junk, or making it seem “evil,” we stress that things like soda, candy, and ice cream are indeed delicious, but having too much without also eating healthy will affect how you feel and grow. They still like junk, but they’re surprisingly good at self-regulating.

  • Trump charged by Justice Department for efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss
  • I don’t think there will be.

    However… if he gets any prison time, you DM me and I’ll Venmo you $200, which I request you spend on a nice drink, and we will toast in honor of my being wrong. I’m seriously good for it.

    I’m too jaded at this point. I’ve come to accept the orange man will never actually be punished.

  • The Worst API Ever Made
  • If B=A, why would you ever think A=B?! Learn your logic, man! That’s on you.

    Really though, the structure for the program is just so aggravating. I’m a Pardot man myself. (Sorry. “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.”) Every time I try to get a client to go with it, the AE’s jump in and desperately try to throw in Mobile Studio and everything else Marketing Cloud. I always go back to the client behind the scenes and warn them that if they go that route, I won’t set it up. It’s not worth the pain.

  • Trinity nuclear test’s fallout reached 46 states, Canada and Mexico, study finds
  • That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could've been done differently.

    My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.

    Again, that’s the rumor.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”

  • Me now that the new lemmy clients can replace my reddit addiction
  • He addressed that a bit ago. That kind of undertaking would be pretty big, since the data structure on the back end is so much different. It’s not out of the question, but not something he wants to do right now.

  • Reddit Ramps Up Its Threats To Protesting Mods, As Ad Buyers Leave
  • The thing is, they COULD’VE monetized it and still kept it alive. What they’re doing instead is killing the golden goose for a quick cash-out.

    Edit: I hate your username. A lot of trauma associated with that failed tongue-twister.

  • Third party Reddit apps just got canned.
  • Hey! I’m a dad, and I consider myself marginally funny.

    But I’m also a 10-year Reddit user, so I know what you mean. There’s a world of difference between old and modern Reddit. There was an actual “culture” that we were all a part of. I’d prefer a return to the “front page of internet culture” rather than keeping it alive as the “front page of popular media” it became.
