PREPARE THYSELF

I’m starting to think Ridley may have lost it.

Something trickled down but it tastes like piss

Earlier this year we saw an increase in the number of reports we received about some people using our service in ways that we cannot tolerate. To be more clear, this was not about some people merely saying things that others disliked.

Let me translate this into a language we can understand: We got some mean letters about CSAM and are reactively responding to it

He’s kissing ass for that VP position

I’ll start GeoIPing Wisconsin.

Racism in Alabama and Mississippi is normalized and as such, is ignored by the media

FedEx and Staples have document printers for less than 10 cents a page. This is what I’ve been doing for years now, when someone won’t just take a PDF straight up.

This is the reason I went with Epson for printing for many years, and had no issues! But I don’t print anymore.

oh no my bananas

I feel like we live in a simulation given how shit has gone pear shaped the past few years.

TPM actually provides some useful components to isolate encryption outside of Ring 0, which is a trust win. But any technology must be weighted against its power to oppress.

Third strongest naval fleet beneath the Black Sea

At the end of the day, Japan and the US owe various parts of the world a lot of apologizing for shit done during WW2 and this is not me playing both sides. I am very familiar with Nanjing, Unit 731, and the comfort women thing.

There goes my hopes dashed

They were victims. The nukes were war crimes. Show the victims.

Ultimately though a lot of Nolan’s films are coded for a Conservative viewpoint going back to the Batman trilogy. There’s still quite a bit of it here, even if this movie is intended to depict the honesty of nuclear weapons.

The other claim is that “reddit doesn’t care about blind people” which is the most ridiculous claim of all. The new site design is WCAG AA compliant. I did both an automated assessment with WAVE and used VoiceOver to confirm. It is useable for blind users with standard screen readers and other ATs.

Is it easier with apps? Sure. But it’s not impossible.

The fact that there never was a limit of sub counts is part of why the turnover we expected never came. At some point, you have to be a deeply unwell narcissist to willingly mod hundreds of subs. I’m reminded of Laurelai.

What went wrong is simple and clear as day: People did not commit to their protest. Only a fraction of those who took part made the important step of quitting reddit altogether. Because the protest was limited, reddit absorbed the hit.

If you’re not willing to give up your abuser, you’re destined to be battered.

It is important to remember that you owe these platforms nothing. There is life after an endless stream of dopamine hits. Just walk out.

This is the long game, because if Trump wins, he can get the US out of NATO and that’s a constitutional crisis at home, and a serious flashpoint to drive Europe back into squabbling.
