The FBI has formed a national database to track and prevent 'swatting'
  • Sometimes I'll listen in on police radios and you will hear officers sigh like, "Damn, not this shit again" cause they recognize the address they are being sent to for a call and remember the guy from just a few prior meetings.

    And now these cops are being sent to the same couple over 40 times and are like, "Oh ummm gee, I wonder who these people could be".

    I honestly think the real reason is that most of these cops want these calls to be true, because they get sold on the idea that being a cop is cool and about fighting crime when 90% of the job is super boring.

  • Reddit is not so fun anymore, RIP RIF
  • I'm pretty sure that the RIF developer is working on an app for Tildes, which is an invite-only non-profit reddit alternative.

  • The official app is hot garbage
  • The worst part of the redesign is how slow it feels. I also noticed how cluttered everything looks on the redesign. The buttons below the titles are unnecessarily big. The multicolored flairs are very distracting. Some flairs are basically an entire sentence long, others have emojis. It makes reading the post titles extremely difficult.

  • Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol
  • I just use an old laptop as my main computer. Now I have a reason to keep it if I ever upgrade.

  • What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit?
  • I believe another part of it is that companies that get venture capital money are also encouraged to hire more employees, because VC's care about growth.

    If you are a company relying on the support of venture capital and you aren't hiring people to grow the fastest, then the VC might decide to just fund your competitor instead.

  • Why CSGO's Wingman is the Best 2v2 Gamemode Out There - Penguin
  • To the point about having separate map pools for competitive and community made maps, I wish Valve would implement a non-competitive 5v5 queue with all community made maps. Maybe rotate them out every year with the MapCore winners, or keep 1 to 2 favorites.

  • You can have any superpower, but the first person to reply chooses a side effect
  • Yeah, but then you get to have a cool catchphrase like, "Eat shit and fly".

  • Complexity welcomes Elige!
  • Elige is replacing FaNg.

  • I made the mistake of checking Reddit (using my last few days of Apollo) and came across a complaint about Lemmy that flabbergasted me
  • I tried Squabbles and got so confused. Took me forever to realize that the post was on the left column and the replies were on the right column. I stupidly thought Squabbles was combining Twitter and Reddit and thought the two columns were completely independent from one another. It makes sense to me now, but my simple brain likes this layout.

  • Ford CEO says Tesla's Cybertruck is only for 'Silicon Valley people' and he's not threatened by it: 'I make trucks for real people who do real work'
  • I hate how normal large vehicles like trucks and SUVs have become here in the US. Especially because 90% of people who buy them don't actually need them. I see so many big stupid vehicles all over the place with a single person just going to the grocery store.

  • Floating Subs List - a collapsible subscriptions panel with search, sorting, and magazine pinning
  • If "sticky navbar" is turned off the subscriptions box disappears out of view if you scroll too far down. I noticed on version 0.3 if I changed -

       position: on line 85 from "absolute" to "fixed"
       top: on line 86 from "100%" to "9.5%"  (9.5% didn't overlap with header and was aligned nicely across the top)
       max-height: on line 89 from "100vh" to "90vh" - "95vh" (I use 93vh) then the sidebar stays fixed as you scroll.
    
    

    then the sidebar stays fixed in place as you scroll, even with sticky-navbar turned off.

    The only thing I don't like is that with the fixed sidebar it will overlap the footer at the bottom. I'm not sure how to make it not overlap, I literally just started googling this userscript stuff like 45 minutes ago. I'm guessing making the z-value of the footer a higher priority then the sidebar would make the sidebar scroll beneath the footer, but I don't know.

  • Reddit Sync Dev Gauging Interest on Developing Sync for Lemmy
  • It opens the thread first and then from that thread just click on the title again or the thumbnail picture.

  • Andrew Tate indicted and will face trial on rape, human trafficking charges in Romania
  • Thank you for this and also for all the delicious Italian food.

  • Dam-style Curry in Suwon, Korea
  • The left side of the plate looks like beef stew. I'd probably look like an idiot sitting there staring at the plate for an hour because I wouldn't want to break it and mess it all up.

  • Home baked NYC style personal pizza
  • The crust looks amazing. Did you cook it on a pizza stone or steel?

    Also, what is the white stuff on the top? 🤨

  • Reddit CEO slams protesters, calls them “landed gentry”
  • Reddit in particular has very little besides it's massive numbers to actually keep users on their platform. I don't use Twitter or Facebook anymore, but at least with those platforms there would be specific celebrity accounts or friends and family that would provide a reason to stay.

    Because reddit was so focused on anonymity, you didn't need the "celebrity" accounts to move platforms to make the alternatives feel viable. Even with just a small portion of users moving here it feels completely natural.
