Honestly I didn’t realize this was a trans community. I thought ‘196’ was just some random number like the ‘4’ in 4chan. 196 just had good content. The fact it’s inclusive is just a bonus.

Yeah. We can’t have free, privacy, and creators that eat. Pick two.

(We might end up paying and getting neither privacy or paid creators… but at least it is worth the attempt to do things right.)

Ditto. It is my most used subscription.

I watch more YouTube than cable (never) or Netflix (maybe one binge a month).

I use it for music in the car and at work.

I play audio from some sciencey channels while I try to goto sleep.

I’ll probably keep paying. I do get value out of it.

Aren’t there third parties that track website visits?

I was curious but couldn’t find any stats for Reddit over the past couple weeks. Google trends was slightly up… but that isn’t really users. (My search also made Google trends go up by 1)

Is there a definite union/labor upswing….. or am I just noticing because I’m on antiwork?

Everyone is a little loopy though. We’re all some flavor of hypocrite too.

I don’t mind celebrities being on a pedestal, because it is a common reference point for us all when discussing virtue or lack thereof.

We just all need to be reminded that they are still human and stupid in their own way.

I’m borderline on this. At some point Trump (or someone like him) will be back in power.

The law is intended to be used during an emergency for: “waiv[ing] or modify[ing] any statutory or regulatory provision”

If you read that literally, it means that Trump could literally make the provision say absolutely anything during an unrelated emergency. Clearly that isn’t the intent.

I’m all for student loan forgiveness… but I mainly blame congress for this. They wrote a crap ambiguous law which SCOTUS needed to determine the bounds of.

Automated edits were throttled to an insanely low level too. It took days for me to get all my comments out. At least I think I got them all… can’t really be sure.

As an example of this, the North America wildfires this year don’t really seem to be due to climate change… but people keep tying the ideas together.

The extreme weather swings and the droughts are bad enough. And it is guaranteed to get worse. No reason to stretch the truth.

I was a cashier. Cashier jobs suck.

The problem is society in general. We SHOULD be getting rid of every non-rewarding job we can. But we also need to support the people that would otherwise have these jobs.

The explains the existence of anteater.

I not quite sure I want to know how they know what lube thier dad used

I think there might be an axis here that is different than ADHD.

I certainly don’t have ADHD, but I don’t have any habits (outside of muscle memory, walking, breathing, etc) that works the way OP describes.

I brush my teeth because I think I should. A ‘habit to me’ is just that ‘situation X reminds me to do thing Y’.

I’m going to use Chrome as long as I can. If they update and break my Adblock extensions (and there isn’t a fix in a day or two from devs), I switch browsers or find some other workaround.

I’m glad people with more ability to avoid the problem are trying to do so proactively (via ad-on updates, alternative browsers, etc)… so I don’t need to worry about an ‘escape route’… because I know there will be one.

My understanding is that it is only illegal if the information is personally identifiable… and posting such was against the rules anyway.

It still pisses me off that they decided to rate limit comment edits/deletes just as everyone was making the exodus.

I don’t know how anyone used Reddit without unsubscribing from the default subs. There was just so much stupid stuff…

(I see the irony of saying this in shitposts… but I’ll probably unsubscribe from here too when it gets bigger)

Mark Twain was created by other humans… but his grand parents aren’t famous.

I see no reason the thousands of people who work on an AI will be any more famous than the thousands of non-acting artists who currently work on a movie.

Maybe directors (or the AI prompt writer) becomes more famous… but even that will self-automate pretty quickly

What functions only work with Samsung devices? Is it just the ‘360 sound’ thing?

Contractors make all these issues muddy and provide easy loopholes.

Generally a company will sign on a contractor with specific requirements. If the contracting company can no longer financially meet them, such as due to unionization, the contract is cancelled.

The rub is probably that the contract terms are not achievable while being fair to the end-of-the-line workers. I’m not sure how to fix this.

I’ve accidentally caused this myself. I put out a publicly funded contract with stiff terms to ‘keep the contractors honest.’ What that ended up meaning is that the contractor became a horrible place to work since they cut corners, and the company still makes their money. That contract was eventually canceled due to documented violations, so then all their employees were just plain unemployed.

I tried to nuke it too... turns out reddit has been ignoring delete and edit requests. I think they are rate capping the requests.

After running powerdeletesuite multiple times with all kinds of settings, I could still find comments of mine not deleted.

I also requested a GDPR set of account information. ALL of my deleted/edited comments are still there.

I like it; it feels like a vaccine for clickbait thumbnails…. Because everything becomes a clickbait thumbnail, so your mind just ignores it.
