It is an absurd statement to argue that the average cyclist on the average bike can sprint to over 30mph “without much trouble.” Maybe with a tailwind going downhill, and even that is, ahem, dangerous.

“Lede” I’ve heard because of the common expression “burying the lede.” You’re telling me “graf” is standard language for published articles?

This is such a great project! I can see how there’s a little room for clean-up on that long S. Plus the comma-looking apostrophe 😵‍💫. Although maybe that’s how that punctuation mark acted back then?

I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.

Find a reputable institutional advisor who specializes in this sort of thing. Pay off debts. Quit my job. Eventually begin planning some charitable gifts, perhaps even a foundation or something. Make life meaningful that way.

Right-handed, right pocket. I’m surprised to see so many people saying they use their off hand to hold their phone.

And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her…

We need to transition from a culture that implicitly believes that infinite waste is not a problem. According to a story I read in the NYT this morning, more than 10 million tons of office furniture in the United States end up in a landfill every year. Ten million tons! And it’s all just handled by people doing their jobs, nobody able to stop the cogs and ask if we’ve lost our minds.

The guy who invented Keurig, with its disposable plastic pods, later said that he regretted it after seeing how much waste it created. I think if we had a healthy culture, Keurig couldn’t have been invented as it was because the inventor would’ve foreseen the waste and found it totally a nonstarter.

I miss Reddit as seen through Apollo, and that Reddit is dead.

It still baffles me that Digg preferred losing their site over rolling back v4.

Interesting, I really thought Reddit had told Christian that he couldn’t make the app available for users to use with their own API keys.

I like Signal but it badly needs message editing capability.

Unfortunately it looks like Lemmy is going to get all the mobile apps, though.

Agreed. These companies learned that internet outrage is generally indicative of nothing actionable.

These should definitely be on by default. Users won’t think to ask or find threads where this is explained, and having it off absolutely kills conversations and engagement unnecessarily @ernest

Reddit fired Victoria because they didn’t want to spend any cash on this kind of thing.

As long as no one starts making /m/AngryUpvote a thing, and as long as ShittyMorph stays off the fediverse, we’ll be off to a good start.

I deleted Apollo and my Reddit journey is over, 11 years after it began. I honestly thought it would be more difficult. I think I more miss the Reddit that Baconreader was named for: the silly young Reddit full of advice animals and comments like “it’s shit like this” and ice soap and 3AM chili. That Reddit has been dead and buried for years but I soldiered on until they finally said I don’t matter with their attempts to monetize user content and eliminate third-party apps.

I didn’t choose any of this. Reddit made the first move. Maybe Steve Huffman should consider second-order consequences.

Overwriting your comments erodes Reddit’s long-standing search engine advantage, so I support it.

When Reddit took my Apollo away, it told me I don’t matter. I treated my comment history in kind.
