@PurpCat I wasn't aware of that. It's a lot better than Quora which forces you to login or create an account after visiting a certain number of pages.
@PurpCat People could have said the same thing about Yahoo Answers or many of the communities on StackExchange.
I've never used Reddit, but I don't get how people can still defend it at this point.
>Used to be (mostly) open-source, but closed it's source code back in 2017
>Used to be free speech friendly until around 2015 when they started banning subs like /r/FatPeopleHate
>Is known to be a cesspool for center-to-far-left, atheist, hipster, "I LOVE SCIENCE", consumer types
>Karma and gold creates groupthink and elitism
>Is now overcharging for their APIs
I really hope that the site crashes and burns like Digg, but the site is more popular than Digg ever was. However, I am happy that this is receiving massive backlash, at the very least I hope it severely cripples them.
In the meantime, if you want to host your own communities, get an actual forum. Hosting is dirt cheap and auto-installers make hosting forums easy. And people still use forums, btw. Dwarf Fortress has always had their main discussions on their own forums and they are still active to this very day.

reddit displaced digg when digg started making absurd changes to squeeze more money out of their userbases, alienating everyone

@PurpCat @Tadano @deprecated_ii I remember someone getting Stardew Valley to run on it after replacing a few files. I assume the same can be said with other games using the MonoGame framework.

I wish more people understood the issues surrounding Julian Assange. His extradition would likely be murder, although I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being reported as a suicide. He's already been tortured [psychologically] for over a decade at this point, and our government has considered assassination. To think that he should be handed over to the people who had their crimes exposed by him and that is somehow justice is peak absurdity.
Sadly when I mention Assange to people (not fedi people, real people), most don't really know who he is. They recognize the name, and have heard of wikileaks, but they don't really know the relationship or the circumstances of his living status. It is reported on, but usually there is some other stupid thing that is way more click bait worthy to distract people from paying too much attention.

I’m now reporting any job postings on LinkedIn or Indeed for discrimination if they require Covid shots
Fuck these companies

@Nelenese@shitposter.club It's not over, the invidious team is pretty based and they'll make sure it continues.
I like the "You know what you have to do." in the issue.

Jewgle started cracking down on cancer-free frontends even further.

@mrsaturday @ArdainianRight @Suiseiseki This is unfortunately very popular even in ancap spaces, with some mainstream ancaps basically saying "the billionaire elites pay more taxes than everyone else so they should get sole ownership over all public property and assets", completely ignoring that those billionaires literally only have any of the wealth and power they do through abusing the government to both empower themselves and prevent any competitors from challenging their monopolies. For every cent they pay in taxes, they get hundreds of dollars of protection from the government, stolen from all of the average joes who could even theoretically compete with them in an actual free market.

@ArdainianRight @Suiseiseki Kinsella honestly managed to convince me that in extremely limited scenarios - basically only trademarks - "IP" can actually be okay. I love his stance that even in those few scenarios, it's ultimately a consumer-vs-trademark-abuser dispute which the trademark holder has effectively no stake in, since the only person actually being harmed is the consumer who accidentally paid for a mislabeled product, not the trademark holder who allegedly "lost" a sale they likely wouldn't have gotten to begin with.
Zelda lore
Now I just realize that the time travel laws in ToTK are inconsistent with OOT. OOT established that altering the past will create a separate timeline, but Zelda time traveling in ToTK alters the current timeline.

There are some pretty cool boats and homes on the water, but they are just too expensive for everyone to be able to experience living on the water. Our goal is to bring everyone to lakes, rivers, bays, and oceans, in an affordable and environmentally friendly way.
