Nothing is wrong with it, it's awesome and I love it. I'm something of a whataboutism aficionado and am planning on printing out this thread and laminating it for future reference.

Yes

And on average, they only start out with 80% of the pieces of the men's set.

Rather rude to group them all together like that. If we're talking mud daubers or paper wasps, we're totally chill.

Ground-nesting yellowjackets get the boiling water and dish soap treatment in the dead of the night if they're in the yard. I've had too many cases of cleaning up yard debris and suddenly getting attacked by the little bastards to attempt peaceful coexistence.

From Jun. 29, 2022:

In a joint statement, Commissioners Carmen Rubio and Mingus Mapps, who oversee Parks & Recreation and the Bureau of Environmental Services respectively, said the move was meant to streamline what had been a disjointed system.

The two bureaus “have been working together to strategically align disparate tree planting and tree care responsibilities across both bureaus. That fragmentation has led to inefficient and uncoordinated work,” the commissioners said.

“With support and direction from both of our offices, both bureaus have come to an understanding and scoping of work that we believe will not only be more effective, but will ultimately result in more trees, larger tree canopy, and increased greening of our city,” they said.

...in case we wanted someone to point fingers at.

The other notable difference is that the Friends of Trees program was opt-in. You want a tree, you contact them, they bring you a tree. The city program is actually opt-out, and only eligible in certain designated neighborhoods. So you miss a postcard in the mail and the next thing you know, you've got a crew in front of your house digging up your yard.

Yep, after I found this out I ditched Chrome immediately once they started rolling out Google Search ads that couldn't be blocked via DNS. Firefox mobile feels a little less smooth than Chrome admittedly, but the ability to add extensions like ublock/darkreader/consent-o-matic make is a no contest in terms of overall user experience.

The one knock is that they took bypass paywalls out of their extension store and the workaround to install it is somewhat cumbersome, so now I'm annoyingly using Kiwi browser for paywalled content and Firefox for everything else. Hopefully this update will make it so I only need one browser again.

To me, the value proposition for Aeropress has always been that it was a very inexpensive way to make an acceptable cup of coffee. Bumping the price to $70 for a plastic tube seems insane, but I guess it's nice to have options.

The founder of Tildes, Deimos, is a former Reddit backend engineer who believes this is a technical issue rather than a case of Reddit purposefully subverting user intentions:

Yes, this is almost certainly a technical issue. The way reddit caches things probably isn't the standard way you're thinking of, like a short-term cache that expires and refreshes itself. There are multiple layers of "cached" listings and items for almost everything, and a lot of these caches are actually data that's stored permanently and kept up to date individually.

There are also multiple other places and ways that comments are cached—comment trees are cached (order and nesting of comments on a comments page, for all the different sorting methods), rendered HTML versions of comments are cached, API data is probably cached, and so on.

All of these issues are probably just some combination of all of your posts being difficult to find and access due to the listing limits or certain cached representations of posts not being cleared or updated properly.

Sometimes, but not always. Whether it's cardio or weights, I'd guess maybe 20% of sessions are amazing, 20% are garbage and I can't wait to finish, and 60% are fine. I generally prefer weights, but there's actually something really fun when you're having an s-tier cardio session.

I'd strongly prefer FF, but since they yoinked the Bypass Paywalls extension, I've been taking a look at Kiwi. Eventually once Manifest V3 goes though I'll want to move to FF regardless, so I'm hesitant to consider Kiwi as a permanent solution though.

Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.

If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!

For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.

If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.

Time to print out more code and bring it to the boss for review.
