Why are 3rd party apps still working?
  • Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

  • RIP RIF
  • Not logged in. Seems to be only read mode.

  • Why don't upvotes count?
  • I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

  • The End of the Internet is Here.
  • So we make the Internet ours again.

  • Perez and Verstappen having a discussion after the sprint race
  • Verstappen: What happened mate?
    Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
    Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
    Checo: No.

    Checo: Turn 3 tho.
    Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.

  • 'Rate limit exceeded;' Twitter down for thousands of users worldwide
  • I'd say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
    The world will be a better place.

  • Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • Nobody wants to listen.

    When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

    We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.

    "The planet will be fine, it's us humans that are fucked." /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.

  • RIP RIF
  • Weird. RIF still works here.

  • They stole the internet from the people and we have to take it back
  • Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.

  • Goodbye RIF - Talklittle's Goodbye to Reddit is Fun users
  • RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

  • What's your most-loved non-star movie/show?
  • Red Dwarf.
    It's goofy. It's campy. It's sometimes terrible.
    But it grows on you and by the time you are done through season 2 you love the show and only want more. And oh yes there is more, much more.

  • What "third generation" Trek is worth watching?
  • I pained myself through 2 seasons of Discovery hoping it would become better, but no. Just no. I'd go as far as stating it barely qualifies as Star Trek at all. As a generic TV show it even worse, bland and overall just flat. I didn't care about any of the characters and today I don't even recall 1 single characters name.

    Picard is very uneven, but oh boy does it find it's footing. It's worth getting through S1 and S2 to get to the payoff in S3.

    Other than those, Lower Desk is Trek through and through and through again. They.Nailed.It.

  • If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place
  • Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don't want to see that.
    And no, we don't need to grow the Fediverse that way. It's better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.

    Learn from history. Don't repeat it!

  • Homemade Thai Green Curry (more pictures in description.)
  • Looks amazing!
    However, you'll get a lot more flavor out of your spices using a mortar and pestle. Beat those spices and greens into a paste!

  • American TikTok user data stored in China, video app admits
  • Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
    Oh wait. It's wholly expected.

  • POLL - You now have a monthly, lifetime subscription to the last thing you bought. Are you satisfied with your purchase?
  • You now have a monthly, lifetime subscription to the last thing you bought. Are you satisfied with your purchase?

    Yes.

  • Are there any good jobs out there where you can show up, do your work, and then just leave when it's done?
  • You'd be surprised how many jobs just requires you to sit in a chair all day looking busy.

    I do my dayjob, in an office with the screen not visible to anyone else, and when there is no work to do I go ahead and do some of my independent work. I look busy as heck all 8 workhours. I get no extra reqests to "help out", or last minute critical whatever.
    I make 2.5-3x my job salary.
