Similar here. Reddit has become, for better or worse, just another Facebook. I include in my search queries when I need. I get in for specific communities and get out immediately afterwards.

I’m curious as well. I want to selfhost a personal instance, but CGNAT is getting on the way. I can always pay for VPS, but then the recent shenanigans involving CSAM images potentially being synced from rogue instances scared me.

Problem is, people rarely realize the importance until they’re lost. Plenty of posts from 90s and 2000s containing valuable insights are probably lost forever. Remember that not everything online is in English, either.

Wait until someone screams ‘AI will help’.

Jerboa works fine… except when I have to search for something. Why is ‘search’ not a ‘search post/comments’ function but a ‘search community’ one?

If they could let player order Preston Garvey do all the minuteman job and leave the us alone.

Had fun playing FO4 back then, but gotta agree it had some major weak points. They didn’t improve from the FO3 and the constructive criticisms. They simply rode the gravy train Obsidian set with New Vegas. FO76 and Starfield’s failure to captivate public’s interest is a reflection of that.

This will backfire independently of the political or security justifications. Many Chinese scientists were put under surveillance, stripped off their academic positions and faced deportation during Red Scare, and this directly contributed to China’s nuclear and space program.

Wake up, developer. We have an OS to burn.

I suspect something involving law enforcement or legal. Still would love if LW admins updated on this.

Sigh. At least the benefits of federation include being free to move into other instances while LW can pull stuff like this (probably because they get the heat from being the largest instance).

Whoever made the decision to bind Ctrl-Q (something right next to Ctrl-W) as Quit/Close Window needs to be shot.

I always thought incorporating a drawing into legit character encoding is not a good idea.

Seeing how the gun emoji was rebranded into a water gun, I won’t be surprised if same process is attempted anywhere in the world.

There was the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Philippines.

Still better than nothing. Easier for mods of text-only communities to only have text-only posts submitted.

I fucking love my b/w laser printer. No bs, plug and print, nothing else.

It’s not that simple, cuneiform and hyeroglyphs had been accompanied by sophisticated systems representing phonemes and grammar elements of the languages it was being written with. People make the same mistakes regarding chinese characters (older scripts or more “primitive” scripts equated to simple drawings and nothing else). 🤷

The fresh smell of MBA graduates.

Slow and steady wins the race.
