Wholesome meme: Kill All Humans.

–Bender

That episode was so great. It has aged a bit strangely, because now we have 500 streaming platforms and we’re still getting screwed.

Spez: Guys, we need to brainstorm so hard here. What else can we do to make the site even worse.

Dev Director: Sir, don’t you mean more profitable?

Spez: No, dipshit. I didn’t stutter. Brain. Storm. Let’s hear your shittiest ideas. Go nuts, guys. Nothing’s off the table. I fucking hate our users. They must suffer.

You ain’t missing a damned thing. Reddit is an AI content collection agency. It’s swarming with bots, unhappy users, and those too dumb to find alternarives.

Reddit users will be so surprised when leopards eat their faces.

The Fediverse welcomes the future influx of more content creators!

“AKSHUALLEEEEE…”

“God, no. No!”

I’m a gnu/linux noob. I recently installed Pop OS on two older laptops. Am loving it so far. Going to work on getting games functioning on one of them next.

Was blown away when the built-in Disks program was able to easily fix a couple of thumb drives I have that were suffering from logical corruption. They were completely unusable in Windows 11. I tried 4 different methods in Windows 11 to fix them, with zero luck. Disks fixed them in 2 clicks. They are nicer thumb drives and were somewhat expensive. I am very happy to have them back.

Did you need help with software or a game or something like that? Lemmy communities are pretty forgiving about asking questions in the wrong community, unlike reddit. As long as it’s kind of in the same zipcode as the topic of your question.

If you needed any further proof that stock prices are mostly bullshit, check out the graph for RDDT.

It’s interesting and depressing to me that reddit as a corporate entity is the antithesis of what 90% of active redditors would claim themselves to be. Yet they stay there and participate anyway.

Hard to tell with that glitchy site. They’re too busy updating code for addictive engagement and weaponized greed to worry about a good user experience.

I’m curious if the trend will flip again at some point. I definitely find dark mode to be easier on my eyes for a lot of stuff, especially coding. But I don’t rage when it’s not available.

I’m old enough to remember dark mode being the default because of monochrome monitors. And then later, people were ecstatic about the faux-paper-on-the-screen concept, and dark scrrens were very passe for a period.

Wouldn’t shock me if some future monitor tech that looks more like paper and ink flipped the preference/fashion again back to light mode.

When I use Obsidian, for example, I tend to like themes that look like papyrus or sepia type tones. Not too bright or too dark. Just kind of relaxing, to my eyes anyway.

Especially on Lemmy, which does not have karma BS.

Could be a good tactic. But spez and his goons tend to crack down on mods that do things they don’t like. Especially things that could impact revenue.

Achievements unlocked!

Yes! There was at least one experimental one that openly did that, and it was funny at the time. I forget the name of it. But it wasn’t trying to pass itself off as real conversation to fool the shareholders.

Reddit: bots talking to bots.

Lemmy: the socially awkward talking to the neurodivergent.

Lemmy for life!

Sorry, I am excitable. I do like it here, though.

“Revenue pop”…so, even worse user experience?

Thanks for the info!
