Maybe I misremember but I thought they went crazy during covid and got into the whole antimask nonsense and refusing to comply with health and safety rules.

It used to be better, and the family that own the company are far right Christian extremists.

I sort of miss the screws too but it’s so much better when a cable accidentally gets yanked and it just comes right out instead of transmitting the force into whatever it’s attached to.

That’s good to hear, I don’t use it. As I said, I’ve only checked it out a few times and that was not recent. My impression of it is apparently outdated, or doesn’t reflect a common experience. The times I looked at it there were half naked women in bathtubs and shit like that.

I thought it was pretty well established that Twitch was like a softcore OnlyFans that caters to lonely gamers seeking parasocial relationships, but that’s just my impression as someone who doesn’t pay attention or care about this stuff. The few times I’ve looked at it the sexualized content was obvious and unavoidable.

I wouldn’t bother unless it’s a small amount of play money you are willing to burn. Reddit has so far not managed to turn a profit after 19 years and Reddit management does not inspire confidence or present themselves as particularly competent. If this is your first investment you would be way better off opening an IRA and buying some VTI or VOO instead of gambling on a risky IPO.

I didn’t read the whole thing but I made it to your quote and I think their point is intended to be anti-racist. They are saying films have a sort of universal human experience or perspective or whatever you want to call it that’s been “white” by default but shouldn’t be.

Windows 11 is kind of technically still just Windows 10 under the hood.

They run the internet now so they really know how it works.

I tried to daily Linux on my laptop but gave up after about 6 months. The two major issues for me were the speakers amp and the fingerprint reader not being supported. The speakers wasn’t that big of a problem because audio still worked so I could use headphones or Bluetooth. The fingerprint reader not working grew to be a major annoyance though, it’s so much more convenient to use than typing out a password.

I’ve got an FX era noctua still going strong on a 5900x. They even shipped me the adapter kit for free.

Where are you getting “Democrats are Marxists” from the image?

There’s a “Getting Started” app built in to win11 that is both completely useless and totally unremovable by any method without breaking the OS.

I’m taking it as an opportunity to learn win11 since I have to deal with it at work. My plan is to buy a Framework or System76 laptop down the line and give Linux a second chance as my daily driver.

I tried to daily Linux on my laptop but gave up because it didn’t support the fingerprint reader or the speakers. Windows 11 drains the battery faster and feels sluggish more often.

RiF had some kind of agreement where they were paying Reddit actual money until shortly after Huffman became CEO. I don’t think they were “paying for API access”, but they were a third party app that generated revenue for Reddit until Huffman came along.
