Reddit bought giant ads in Paris, urging people to join

  • Haha I don't know enough about Parisian culture to be comfortable taking such potshots!

  • My account of 12 years with a nearly pristine history got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn't what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I'm pretty sure one of the mods was an admin or knew admins because at one point in modmail they let slip an implication that they had access to Reddit's browser fingerprinting. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit (I'd moved across the country), that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened. Reddit is just a cesspool at this point.

  • Come meet the most vindictive, aggravated, compulsively argumentative people you've ever met. On Reddit!

    • [Old article from 2017] The EU Suppressed a 300-Page Study That Found Piracy Doesn’t Harm Sales

    Jump

  • Literally if not for music piracy I wouldn't have a massive vinyl library worth > $7,000, wouldn't have gone to 100+ live shows, wouldn't have paid $1000+ bucks for all the band merch I have, wouldn't have evangelized countless bands to all of my friends and social network for decades. Piracy is absolutely the thing that unlocked that whole obsession for me.

    • Which git branch are you on?

  • It's the show that the default Fortnite dance came from.

    • It's just loss.

    Jump

    • Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Person backed the Stop Killing Games campaign. criticizing digital game licenses. He argued that if players don't truly own games, then piracy isn't theft.

    Jump

  • Saying that Notch supports a campaign sounds like a smear against it. There are a million other voices this campaign could have quoted before his.

  • Hell yeah, my last international vacation was an Amtrak.

    I only ate plants the whole time.

  • I agree, really I should have written "We have to do both."

  • Actually the majority of atmospheric oxygen is produced by phytoplankton, which are mostly bacteria and protists. Plants do get us over the finish line though.

  • Don't wait, you'll thank yourself after you switch. In very frequent cases Windows games literally run faster in Linux under Proton. Get that state-sponsored spyware out of your home!

    • Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

    Jump

  • Why not just run a community build of Firefox, like IceCat?

    • Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things draws media attention.

    Jump

  • I think the math works out that each year the average American has roughly 1 in 10,000 chance of dying in a car crash and a 1 in 200 chance of being injured in a car crash (Though the second stat likely leaves out a lot of unreported injuries). The average American rolls those dice once a year, so plan to live til 75? 1 in 133 chance that you die in a car crash, >1 in 3 chance you're injured in a car crash at some point.

    I've known two people who died in car crashes, and at least several dozen who were injured in crashes including several really gnarly pedestrian bystander injuries. And I'm barely middle aged.
