Reddit would refuse to accept (error out) or act like it accepted and then just outright delete my comments

Oh, this is pretty standard behaviour on the site in general these days. It’s just a broken mess made by an incompetent company. Their front-end regularly silently disconnects from their backend all of the damn time.

For the most part it’s not censorship, it’s just a badly broken website that doesn’t give a shit about its users’ experience, because it doesn’t see anything else as real competition.

Bingo.

You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube, but you can bust skulls over the rank hypocracy of the tech CEOs.

Maybe they’ll finally let me use Julia at work

Their own server, or their own router? They’re different.

They seem to know something about marketing, and specifically about how to sell a website to the public, which would put them ad odds with everyone else running AP-based websites.

Kessler syndrome is specifically about LEO, and the damage done by debris from collissions, though. Like, that was Kessler’s whole thing.

Everyone and their dog wants to gunk up LEO with their soon-to-end-space-flight-forever space junk

I mean, none of these people ever question Tesla’s valuation in the first place. Why is the stock losing all of this value?

Maybe it’s because Tesla sells a tiny number of units, cannot turn a profit without government subsidies, and produces by most accounts a really meh fleet of vehicles. There was no sane reason for it to be valued equally to the rest of the auto industry combined.

Even at half that value today, the number is beyond unjustifiable.

They’ve been hiding behind that excuse for a decade now. How far do they get to take it? How far do they get to go before we’re “allowed” to tell them to eat shit?

I like Waterfox. I started using it for the JXL support. But it’s significantly more memory-leaky than the current version of Firefox, and small FOSS teams seem to think the standard amount of RAM sold in laptops today is comically low and believe we’re all hauling 64+ GB or something.

Never have, never will.

So, here’s the funny thing about “never will”. It’s not a promise you can go back on. “Never will” means “forever won’t”.

Changing that language is a breech of trust. Getting all “nuanced” and weasel-wordy about it doesn’t change that.

Folks should start looking into whether the previous promise is legally binding in any way, and start preparing for a class action suit if it is. Because Mozilla’s better dead than it is as zombie smoke screen for this horse shit.

I can’t wait until someone shuts this prick up.

Hah!

Companies tried to make this a thing 20 years ago, and people just dropped the middle-men like hot potatoes. Bitly thinks it’ll be different this time because people have become used to using their service, but all of the pressures that had people using link shorteners in the first place have already fallen by the wayside.

This probably isn’t going to end well for them.

Sorry, the best we can do is always showing you subtitles by default, and not letting you permanently change that.

Business people will do almost anything to eliminate wages

Numbers may rebound, but users having kicked the tires on other options means they’re less tightly bound than they were before. It’s up to us to create a welcoming and interesting environment in the spaces that they’ve looked at to get them to shift their usage.

And you think Mark Cuban is funding what, exactly? A member’s co-op?

As usual, it’s computers’ fault.

Because Mastodon works like what it is - 10,000 websites selectively cross-posting to each other - while trying to pretend it’s like a single website. Meanwhile, BlueSky is a single website with the potential to look like it’s 10,000.

The internet became 4 websites and a search engime for a reason: most people apparently prefer it that way.

But people are not curling up in anything. They’re having third parties, that have their own political interests, feed them an image of reality.

This is wildly different from self-organized communities built around existing common interests or beliefs.
