In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either
  • Here in Australia, during the 80's, 90's before widespread internet. There would be several European's who needed rescuing each year as they decided to try and walk between major cities, because it looks close on a map.

    I remember one German guy who needed rescuing while trying to walk from Sydney to Adelaide...that's 1200km away...in a straight line.

  • Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform
  • Similar to twitter.

    If I go to twitter mainpage I can't see anything without logging in.

    If I go direct to a profile I see can't see anything without logging and;

    If I go to a specific post, I can read the initial post but nothing else.

    That's what I expect will happen to Reddit

  • Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform
  • I suspect you're correct, although I doubt removing old.reddit will cause much of a stir.

    Notice how Reddit is releasing 1 shitty update every few weeks rather than all at once? By the time one shit update is released the vast majority of users have forgotten the previous one. Remember the API change? I reckon most of Reddits existing users don't anymore. I suspect old.reddit will go the same way.

  • Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front?
  • There's a cafe near me that's open 24/7. I've been in there a couple of times and the coffee is horrible, the last time I visited the guy behind the counter didn't know how to turn on the espresso machine and had to call his boss.

    But I'm 100% certain all those people turning up at 1am are just getting a caffeine hit before heading to the clubs

  • Reddit nukes everyone’s pre-2023 chats and messages
  • My guess is that spez and co are hoping they've hit a critical mass of FB level users (your mum, your boss, that wacky aunt, the bus driver, etc) that after they fucked everything and the exodus happens, there will be enough people around who dont care cos "lol cats funny".

  • San Francisco protestors are disabling autonomous vehicles using traffic cones | "It's a great time"
  • That's a really good point.

    Imagine your dog gets run over, you rush them to the vet but ultimately they die and your thousands out of pocket. You call the corporate helpdesk to log a claim because there isn't anyone else to contact, they offer you $300 in credit for immediate resolution or you can dispute. You become upset because your dog was more than a credit refund, the call centre drone says that you've become aggressive, that you can call back during business hours and hangs up.

    What a hell scape.
