Basically the likes of George Will, Liz Cheney, and other NeverTrump republicans.

They’ve been driven from any influence within the GOP, but any outsider would call them conservative.

Sync is still my primary, but I switch over to Voyager sometimes when a stupid bug is getting in my way.

It works - usually - well enough. The UI is just so much better than anything else.

Saw it last night, and yes. Lex had more than one scene inspired by actual Musk actions.

Nothing can be prevented entirely online, but empowering users with the tools to choose their own experience and tailor their feed with the communities and users they choose themselves is a giant step in the right direction.

Reddit chose the path of consolidation and central control, and the results were inevitable.

You were just that good at circumventing it. You had to be double-banned in response.

This is pretty typical. No movement for a few months, or even longer, then a flurry of activity over a period of a few weeks before another gap.

Just got a random message from a new account I suspect of being a bot or scammer.

But lemmy is still small enough, and has mods/admins that are less jaded and defeated than the bigger platforms, that there is a bigger pushback on the scams.

Every site has a critical mass at which scammers will be more motivated than the moderators. Reddit got too big, then shit all over the experienced mods. Double whammy.

It likes bots writing to the site, for the engagement; it doesn’t like bots reading the site (for free).

Unverified account? Straight to jail.

It wasn’t compromised. If you can’t be tracked and cross referenced with all the other data that brokers have, your activities aren’t worth anything to reddit and they don’t care about that account.

In the setting under link handling, you can change the browser to “external” which uses your default.

Not an expert, so don’t listen to me at all.

The closest analog recently is probably Facebook’s IPO in 2012. They were profitable that year, and the stock price still dropped by up to 50% in the first few months. The business is healthy, and the stock is fine now, but don’t count on a quick buck in the first few weeks/months.

Samsung did have a major problem early last year, but it seems to be limited to a run of products with a specific firmware.

Looking more and more like the current version of digg.com.

This is why we teach history, kids.

I like my Roku, but it would be much more annoying without a pihole to block the ads.

At least the recap was good for some funny self-owns:

Looks perfectly suited to the new reddit.

LMAO. The only time I visit Reddit any more is when it dominates the first page of search results. Spez has failed upwards for so long, he thinks he can fly.

That Tencent investment money is coming home to roost.
