Having gone through the code a bit, the NSFW handling looks very baked in, so it's not a small ask. The smart approach would be to add an arbitrary tag system and handle it that way.

Can you post something besides partisan ragebait

It's nuanced, but the idea that a bear would suddenly just "decide people are a threat/food" is misguided. The bottom line is it's wilderness, the odds are very high they did something careless like surprise the bear or get between it and its cubs, which wouldn't indicate atypical behavior on the bear's part or suggest it'd pose extra danger in the future. Bottom line I don't agree with the general approach of tourists wandering out in the woods, doing something careless which gets them killed, and then animals being killed indiscriminately as a result, I think it's a very arrogant approach by people in general.

Lemmy's been a lot better than reddit for this in my experience. On reddit you couldn't even get a sentence out.

Unless it was the undead polar bear from Game of Thrones it probably should have been left alone.

You added some LOTR keywords, am I wrong? Also love the dual McDonald's-Burger-King on the left.

I consider all property to be my property so you're depriving me of something when you have your own property. I will be notifying my lawyers about this situation.

Idk why you're leading with writer pay, going into actor pay (most don't make squat) and then execs at the big companies involved are tossed in as an afterthought. Probably why you're getting downvoted.

"Content" at a minimum requires a video camera and people to stand in front of it. It's involving hundreds of people in a production that's expensive. People just hurl money at big centralized services, with the same mentality they had with cable TV, and of course they spend ungodly amounts, because they make even more. There's all kinds of models that can work better than this.

Yay

Well, there's having to put an unconstitutional demand violating the 1st/4th amendments on paper and sending it out to a company, and then there's just being able to log in as the admin and look for the information directly. Anyway, when I say "public good", I mean in a pretty loose sense, I prefer to see actual maintenance/management done by something like a non-profit rather than a gov agency.

I was about to write something in my comment to the effect of, "but let's not even talk about the government running it". Could end up like PBS, could just as easily end up like USSR/North Korean/Chinese media. Imagine Reddit but, instead of spez, it's Joseph McCarthy, or Donald Trump, with the power to identify and criminally sanction users.

So in other words the State Department entrusted their email security to bullshit enterprise Outlook. If only every security professional knew better or something.

Great job everyone

Fast food chains aren't your friend

The only really long term viable model is a donation model. Ad tracking is abusive and the legality is waning, and subscription models for what's basically a public good are fucked.

We're just doing the whole routine with the underground railroad and civil war all over again, aren't we. This country is so stupid.

Then there is also the other issue that the other drafted forms of the amendment don't even include that clause, indicating more clearly the main point, that they didn't want the government to be able to restrict citizens' right to bear arms, after the episode they just had with the British government trying to limit arms to prevent an armed resistance in favor of colonial independence - said conflict having been kicked off specifically by an attempt to seize arms.

You can think one way or the other about how the state should treat guns, but people have this inclination to try to rewrite history about what it says and why. It's pretty clear if you take the blinders off, regardless of what you think about the issue.

You can put it on, but at that point you're with reinstalling the system or moving packages over on a thumb drive. Huge pain.
