Blaming remote work, the avacado toast of 2023.

Not even, though. Practically all the YouTube "creators" these days have [this part of the video is brought to you by scandanavian interwebz to keep out teh hax0rs] sponsored segments that are [Have you shaved your fuckin' nutsack lately bro? Check out this ball hair trimmer from clipyerjunk dot com] littered throughout [zzzzzzzzzip ... ^reecrootah ] their videos.

That being said, some of them at least put effort into finding and vetting content-relevant sponsors that can actually be helpful. I can kinda just barely tolerate those.

If governments actually gave a fuck about antitrust anymore, it would be. 20-ish years ago, they dragged Microsoft to court over simply bundling IE with Windows. It didn't even constantly nag you to set as default; just the fact that it was bundled at all was enough to make it into the sights of regulators.

It seems that space would be perfect for the community title. If the title's too long, it could be truncated with horizontal scrolling.

Edit: problem solved!

Corrected headline: boomers voted in austerity assholes and now their kids have to pay for it with their money

Typical guilty shitheel tactic: play the "old and frail" card for sympathy points, just like how Harvey Weinstein busted out the walker for photo ops. He's still a rapist and Trump is still a traitor (and probably also a rapist).

Well, would you look at that, it's playing out exactly the same as every other technological advancement ever. Instead of using it to reduce employee workloads and maintain an equilibrium of output, it exploits them by brute-forcing increased productivity with no changes to compensation and the capitalists hoard even more of the profits for themselves.

Of course it links to the domain that's probably about to die in short order. This is why open source can't have nice things.

I'm so confused. Who could possibly think these are bad things?

I'm still trying to figure out how reddit expects to "become profitable" while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable.

I've noticed this in the larger threads (several dozens or hundreds of comments), scrolling becomes extremely laggy.

Edit: the lag doesn't seem it be caused by large threads, but by threads containing comments with embedded images

Actually, I don't think this is a fitting meme.

This isn't a rent-seeking, wallet rape bullshit "subscription" (like BMW heated seats), it's a legitimate subscription service where they just order and ship a product automatically for you on a regular schedule (like Amazon) and give you a discount. Also, you're not forced to purchase a subscription, you can just buy retail cartridges if you prefer.

This actually makes a lot of sense for people who print regularly and frequently.

Edit: it has been pointed out to me that there is, in fact, some tomfuckery involved with this subscription model
