That music video from the rooftop!
I guess you could say at least The World Trade Center went out with a bang!
^(I’ll show myself out now)^
A fool and his money are soon parted. From the same class of vehicles that tried to lock heated seats behind a monthly subscription.
You know what’s nice? Those cars can F right off. I won’t buy one new. And never will buy one used.
Always will be “budget” cars (Corolla, Civic, Versa, etc.) that won’t screw around with this crap because the buyers can’t afford to screw around with it.
TRY to paywall a heated seat in a Civic. I dare Honda. It won’t be more than 10 minutes before someone has it badly wired up like an aftermarket subwoofer.
The upside if we all use the term Google, is that over time Google will lose their ability to enforce their trademark.
what’s frustrating is that many of those websites are still there. but when I use Google to try to find them, they don’t show up in the results. not that they are buried on like page five of the results. they literally don’t show up anymore.
That actually sounds pretty good. Especially on a sausage pizza.
Road Guy Rob talks about how highway engineering works in a fun, highly animated way:
Here’s one about a bike lane disaster – where the city screwed up and undid it after a week:
That’s fine. We make a new place.
That’s the beauty of the internet (and similarly, America). We just find a space to talk.
I realized today that maybe all I need is something to scroll and some comments to read.
Sunday, this place felt dead. But each day the traffic seems to pick up and I miss Reddit less and less.
In a few weeks, I won’t miss Reddit at all (at this pace)
But not for me. I’m forever gone.
And if there are enough power users (lots of comments, posts) like me who feel the same, it will have an impact.
There’s a HUGE middle ground between “nothing changes” and “reddit goes out of business.” As we see with Twitter, you can have a zombie platform that persists but slowly loses inertia month after month.
It’s not that Reddit dies abruptly. It’s that the platform is wounded now and, without attention, will bleed out slowly over many years.
I hope lemmings sticks. It’s cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It’s great.
There’s funny horny (tool to tell a joke) and then there’s just horny horny.
And yes, I can do without the second crowd.
I would have thought so of myself, but yet, here we are
These federated let me things really really remind me of the way Reddit used to be about a decade ago. And frankly, now that I found the Jerboa app, I really don’t miss Reddit at all.
I just wanted to find a place where I could scroll around and chat with other nerds. And that’s basically what Lemmy is.
Quora, basically.
I don’t think I’ve ever successfully read one of those, because Google brings me to the site and then it demands I log in. They even go so far as to blur all the content. It’s really really stupid.
It sure seems like half the herd has wandered off.
It’s funny you post this. Not more than 5 minutes ago I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Firefox on my phone. I kept trying to login over and over again on mobile and it didn’t work.
A week or so ago, I really felt like reddit was nearly an S tier social media platform. It’s heartbreaking to see it completely destroy itself. It’s nearing Twitter in how bad it works.
He defecated through a sunroof!
So, what’s going to be the first NSFW post?
As a red-blooded, straight cisgender male American… I vote for… Saul Goodman’s ass. (Reference to “Better Call Saul”)
Yeah. They shut down subs like fatpeoplehate. So those are the type of people who went to voat.
Or, as a market-based solution: TurboTax raised the price for small business returns to about the same as hiring and accountant. So, now I just hire an accountant.
