I think it’s wild how people post “omg I just got this entire series for $299! It was on sale so I had to!” Like in 5 years, you may not even have it! Company goes under. Gets bought out. Or my personal favourite, it becomes unavailable because the owner pulled it over a legal dispute. Like so many songs off Spotify. These companies never get involved like well we got our cash too bad so sad.

It’s who left that matters. We lost a TON of tech people. People with experience and knowledge in the field. I visit there and the tech subs I’m in are just kids who either a) just post edgy jokes or b) have no clue and reply with factually incorrect material. The veracity of Reddit plummeted after the API change.

And that matters. That’s the heart of Reddit. The nerds. The geeks. The tech enthusiasts.

If there aim is to turn it into Twitter or Fb, they can do that, but those two already exist and their platform is much more conducive to socializing.

They fucked up with the API and will never bounce back. Not like they care because all they’re chasing is quick money, but still. It won’t end well for them.

And if you don’t think 1% matters, it most certainly does when the 1% attracts 60% of your visitors.

Give it another 10 years, you won’t “own” anything. It’ll be “licensed.” Weird tho. Digital content is endless. But you can’t consume it into extinction; physical things are finite, but we’re like here take it! It’s yours! Call a cop or shoot anyone trying to take it.

Seems backwards to me.

“We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”

Pet peeve: coworkers that don’t make use of Slack’s in-depth scheduling features to mute messages or requests outside of work hours. I should be able to send you shit at 5am. Whether you’re notified that second or at 9am the following work day is a you problem 🥶

Yeah this is government level. They tell the ISPs what to block and they do what’s ordered. ISPs want your money. All the legal crap they have to do is part of business.

Typical “manager”. Everyone show up to these useless meetings that don’t get work done or you can’t work here 🙃

It sounds like you were flagged by an automated system. New account. Lots of uploads right away. I imagine that’s an issue for them.

You say the files are legit so reach out and get unblocked. There’s no need to spin it out of control for what seems like a pretty benign false flag.

PC people: Many of you are now realizing what “Windows as a Service” means. Your OS is harvesting every bit of your data and sending it back to the MS Mothership.

And you’re kind enough to pony up the cash to supply the hardware for it to run on.

This data is pretty dated. Your brain compensates. There's something called REM rebound to where if you don't get enough sleep, your brain will offload as much REM as possible to the end of your sleep, filling in the missing and crucial sleep cycle.

Scummy company doing scummy things. More at 11.

The same BS my last employer was droning on and on about when he forced us all back because “collaboration”!

He spoke about “zoom fatigue”, which isn’t a real thing btw but that’s another matter entirely, and how being in the same building was better for us as a team.

The amount of collaboration it spark was exactly how many fucks I give about Zoom.
