Hmmm… do you float if we throw you in the water?

I needed this right now

Nah, flyingsquid obviously means two floor bolts, a chain, flapper and a handle. I mean look at him.

Yeah! Let’s go there without them.

I will not vote this above 69 because it’s perfect until someone does

Surrrre… your “coworker”. You need some help too?

And the 27” iMac everyone keeps wishing for didn’t come. I’m not too sad about it. I can appreciate having a mini and a powerful laptop and I don’t have the Apple display but having all the power tied up in an all in one is freeing. I can upgrade that mini now much more cheaply and easily. And I can use the screen with my laptop instead of target display mode.

I think I’d rather install Linux on my old macs, but I have 0 knowledge on which would be best for a mac

I can’t

Discord is an acquisition away from enshitification, and they have primed there moderation to make it possible. Source: Ive host a server for 3 years.

Amen

It is hard to believe it’s not been around longer. Waiting for the Oxford English professor to show us when Shakespeare first used it

Your comment reminds me that this headline is speaking to boomers. Where I, with direct experience using these shitty platforms, don’t give a shit if either live or die

I don’t think everyone needs to be so drastic. And helpful genuine answers on niche topics is how I found reddit in the first place. In a way, for me, reddit became a google alternative. I liked seeing a qualified discussion about something. Especially discussions about things that never feel trustworthy, from life, relationships or even product purchases. I always feel I can distill a conversation down to gain perspective. Lemmy will accomplish that, but it’s going to take time to build it.

I can’t see myself “using” Reddit again. But it will be inescapable to visit the site when I just need a good answer to things from years ago that were arrived upon in some old thread. To me that’s reddits greatest value. What we all contributed. So I totally understand why you can’t so handedly throw it all away.

It’s so true! I’d still be on Reddit too. Social media is not that big of a deal in my life. I never imagined having my nerve struck so hard. That I’d delete a 11yr old account. Loosing Apollo definitely would have lowered the amount of time I would have spent on Reddit, but I changed comments, burned my accounts, and did a gdpr request, when I saw Spez’s AMA and he doubled down against Christian. And Christian easily provided the call recordings. That was so terrible. I don’t want to be anywhere near that.

I totally agree. Devaluing the product seems to be the way of business during this inflation. On social networks it’s the content creators. In the music industry it’s the plummeting percentage paid to artists over the last 5 years. You see it everywhere. Simultaneously requiring subscriptions. Essentially Reddit was going to force the API into a subscription profit model if Christian Selig went along and kept Apollo alive.

What about a watching self promotional videos that promote ads on an advertising company? Is that okay?
