I'd like to believe that's true, but I've also had Cuyahoga Falls water and Marietta water... Cuyahoga Falls water taste awful, and Marietta water makes me burp (... which is just plain weird). Akron water is okay, but kind of smells.
I still haven't fully moved on from it. I'm not sure if I'll delete my account or wipe my comments or not. I don't think it really hurts much to actually have an account registered with them(?)
There's also a fair chance that I've answered some useful techal support, programming guidance, or career guidance questions on there that would be lost to the search engine gods if I wipe my account... And that seems not so great.
It's really starting to feel like a legitimately good Reddit alternative around here, not just "Reddit like" or "Reddit light" and that's really awesome 😊
I need to get going on my 3D printer, it's just an expensive device collecting dust at the moment... Last few times I tried to do a test print it just slid around after a few layers and ruined the print.
But seeing the interviews he gave was just too much. Especially when he was talking about monetizing people who say things on Reddit they wouldn’t say to their therapist. Like, that group specifically you want to milk?
Wow, I actually hadn't heard that 🤯 It seems believable based on his other behavior though. It's honestly a shame, Reddit is a cool forum, but it's kind of like a nice restaurant where you know the owners are just awful people... And that really just ruins the experience of being there.
I reworded my comment to clarify (my original wording was a bit clumsy).
I don't really think they're a danger to others anymore than their policy positions in my option are harmful to some percentage of the population. i.e. they're not worried about indigenous populations invading and killing people with poison arrows, but they do buy into some of the anti-establishment doctors when it comes to issues like COVID vaccination.
It's kind of like "I don't think you're a great driver, but I don't think you're such a bad driver I should be trying to subvert your driving." Though it's a bit of a hard line to draw...
Yeah the morality issue is the hard part for me... I've been entrusted by various people in the family to help them with their technology (and by virtue of that not mess with their technology in ways they wouldn't approve of), violating that trust to stop them from being exposed to manipulative content seems like doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
No, you can set up PGP encryption to send PGP encrypted mail to non-proton customers via Proton. They've also been trying to work on standards that would make retrieving public keys/knowing the recipient accepts PGP automatic.
You're blatantly misinformed, and it's irritating.
Edit: I've blocked this person following their reply, but to their last point, "via Proton" literally means you use their service as a standard PGP mail client no strings attached, that can interact with any other PGP, and with no vendor lockin. That is literally the definition of using an open standard. There's no insidious plot here.
That mentality is part of the problem. More options is not inherently better, it's more to maintain, more complexity, more feature requests in that direction ("well can I store a PGP key in the browser that isn't uploaded to your servers so I can read my non-synced PGP mail", "can I write mail using that", "oh I changed my mind, can I convert mail to your PGP key from my PGP key", "oh I changed my mind again, I'd actually like all my emails changed to my PGP key", "oh could you sync my PGP key for me", etc).
It happens all the time, bending over backwards as a company for niche customers that want to use your toaster as a waffle iron rarely works out well.
You went to a custom shoe maker and said "make me a custom shoe" then you went back to them and said "I wanted to do it myself! Why won't you let me change out the insoles in these shoes!"
The funny thing is... for me it wasn't even the API changes, it was how Steve reacted to the community feedback. If you need to make your app profitable that's fine by me, but don't ignore your customers so bluntly. They could've easily worked politely with devs to find an agreeable API price, find alternative funding streams for those devs, etc. They did none of that, instead Steve acted like a jerk.
I think this is somewhat overstated (also a dev), but there's definitely truth to it. The division of work needs to be clear from the start, and ideally the design done collaborative to really have additional devs help.
Part of the problem is we all think different, so even two brilliant devs can step on each others toes and cause problems if they're not synced up on what the plan is.
Database being a singular entity, holding up all the information, can be prone to manipulation.
I agree with most of what you said, but I just wanted to add... Nothing is beyond manipulation, there's plenty of experience out there monitoring traditional databases, and software intended to aid in tracking down tampering retroactively:
Does a ("proper") block chain make it harder to tamper in the first place? Yes, in theory, but is the associated cost really worth it? (If you ask me, the number of times it's actually worth using a blockchain is a near zero number).

I have one of these https://www.creality.com/products/creality-cr-10-smart-pro-3d-printer, looks like a pei sheet. I haven't heard of the isopropyl alcohol thing... I'll have to give that a try, thanks!
Interesting point about the hands as well, noted... Maybe I'll give this a shot later in the week.
