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

I’m betting that he’s recorded hundred of hours so they can keep using him for the next decade.

He’s kissing ass for that VP position

He’ll bring it back in two weeks

Not having a PVP experience when you marketed it extensively kinda sucks.

You know who else did this shit? Nazis.

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

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.

That’s cool and all but I got my hopes on the Steam Deck still, simply because Valve cracked the “who needs Windows” nut

There goes my hopes dashed

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.

I don’t sleep with animals, I sleep with hopeless fantasies
