That link linked to /modcoord at perhaps dozens of moderators promised to leave, which is far more impactful than users. I know just from watching kbin, lemmy and other sites grow from this summer on that hundreds to thousands likely left reddit. Unfortunately it’s probably a drop in the bucket but Web 2.0 was always probably going to win. The only real way I can see of us getting out of that en masse if when each site inevitably kills themselves through mismanagement.

I actually used to rely on that, using site:reddit.com for most searches. Reddit had some of the best in-depth discussion and tech advice I could find. Compared to the multitudes of blogs, YT videos, and decades-old forum posts that normally came up, reddit usually provided useful info. And it’s pretty much the only reason I’m ever on the site now: the only results for some searches are on reddit.

Eventually if the quality of the posts decline, their SEO presence probably will as well. But google has been absolute dogshit for about a year now so who knows what that field will look like in another year. =/

Ever since earlier this year I’ve had WAY more friends, family and news articles I’ve seen mention or link to reddit than the past. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias since I left reddit or if it just gained popularity at the same time or what. But I used reddit for ~12 years and few other people in my circle used it heavily. Now it seems like it exploded?

I more meant if you require companies to send you goods to review for your business to work, then you can’t be impartial.

Why is it hard? At least to get an approximation since you can’t measure everywhere.

We know temperatures of the mantle and both cores. We know their size. We can ignore the crust as a rounding error. This approximation will improve as our measurements get better.

Untrustworthy. Real reviewers buy the product. If you are reliant on companies to send you product to review then you cannot be impartial.

On the other hand smokers smell like death.

And if that wasn’t required and the hours were paid, it’d be no problem. Especially if they allowed people to flex their work times so working late nights was feasible.

Important info:

-The breach window was roughly 1:30 PM-2:30 PM Eastern (1830-1930 UTC+0) on 12/25.
-Downfall is safe to launch once more, and has been since roughly 2:30-2:40 PM Eastern on 12/25 (1920 UTC+0 on 12/25).
-If you did not launch Downfall in the breach window, you’re clear.
-If you got an automatic update for Downfall on 12/25 but did NOT launch, you’re clear.
-If you launched Downfall via the Steam Workshop (meaning you actually launched Slay the Spire), you’re clear.
-If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and succeeded and everything looked normal, you’re clear.
-If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and saw a command-prompt like screen, that starting spitting out a bunch of text after about 10 seconds, you’re in the clear. That was actually just the Java log which we usually keep hidden, but accidentally left visible when we restored the game.
-If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and got a ‘no .exe found’ type of error, you’re clear. That was us exploding the game to prevent anyone else from being affected.
-If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 during the breach window and got a Unity library installer popup, please continue to read. You may be also at risk.

The yule parts are good. The lights, the family, the drinking. Do what we can to chase the terror of the long night away.

I don’t think High Valyrian is an actual language…

People admire those that do things they like. When a LOT of people like the same person it can turn into a feedback loop. Couple that with parasocial relationships and easy communication via the Internet and it can easily blow up. We’re also programmed to like people that are popular because others like them.

I actually understand that one. It feels like going to the end is cheating, cutting they line. I used to do that until I learned it was bad for traffic and against design.

Probably because I’ve seen enough people get IN the ending lane just to zip ahead or people speed down the shoulder past where it ended.

Go towards the end of the zipper and put your turn signal on. I’ll let you in.

Don’t: go to the end of the zipper with the turn signal on and just follow the shoulder line assuming I’ll let you in. You actually have to yield. If you use the shoulder because no one let you in right away and you couldn’t be assed to slow down even a little I’ll actively block your criminal ass.

Bad faith is trying to pretend that antizionism in 2023 is different to antisemitism.

This argument is bad faith. Or you’re just plain wrong. You can pick.

You’re all over this thread defending Israel and now you’re equating Jewish people with the Israeli government. Bad faith arguing.

To pull this off, the Raspberry Pi is programmed to act as a router. Any lookups that are associated with Google’s push service are redirected to a nonexistent IP and blocked from reaching your phone. When the mailbox door is opened and you place a phone inside, an ESP-32 is activated which sends a notification to the Pi that it’s okay to allow push notifications through.

I’m not well versed in networking, but this reads to me as it blocks and sends all notifications to the void and then while in the box the Pi allows new ones through.

The question then is do push notifications need an ACK and if they fail to receive one do they try again? I know cell carriers can tell when you’re out of connection and can delay notifications and packets until you reconnect but this is slightly different.

With how this routes push notifications to an invalid IP, will they be resent or are they lost? When you put your phone is the box will you get all your missed notifications or just ones coming in while it’s in the box?

Also your guests will think their phone is broken or your Wi-Fi is down.

Your friends are self conscious of their own perceived skill and value. Or toxic masculinity, possibly.
