Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

It doesn’t really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

I feel like palm pilots are super impressive for the time period they existed in. They were so futuristic! Basically the 1998 smartphone

I wouldn’t even say that much. They bought out x.com as a competitor and threw their garbage code in the trash

Confinity already had payments between palm pilots back in fucking 1998, before x.com even existed

Well Barbie is an accomplished woman with a bajillion jobs so it’s not surprising the movie is “woke”. Barbie was “woke” for her time.

I bet they make a fuck ton of money off this movie, once again disproving “go woke go broke”

Woke is here to stay, it’s called human rights

There’s a lot of shitty people who are still on reddit that I don’t want coming here. Reddit will die on it’s own regardless of what pictures are put on /r/place

Perfect is the enemy of good. Trust me, I am very irritated by the complete lack of giving a fuck shown by billionaires and large companies.

But I also know that when it comes down to it the only thing they actually care about is money. And I am one of the people that provides them with that money by choosing to buy their products. Sure, it will take a significant amount of us to make a noticable impact but vegan alternatives have been becoming much more popular and prevalent because there is increasing demand. It’s happening. The dairy industry obviously feels threatened with their stupid wood milk campaign and desperate attempts to ban anyone else from using the word milk.

That is something I actually have control over. I can vote accordingly to try to stop rich assholes from destroying the earth, but I don’t control it alone. At least when the earth dies I can say I tried.

By not giving them traffic

For me it was mostly about accessibility, because reddit essentially told disabled people they aren’t welcome. So … bye

But also the attempt at monetizing FUCKING EVERYTHING is pissing me off. I miss the internet where most things were free. I am not going to pay a subscription to read an aggregation of links. If I have to pay I am going to choose something more fun over social media.

I’m sure that will be on there regardless. Less views is a bigger fuck you than any banner

You can also not pay for it and get it with ReVanced.

ReVanced also auto skips ad reads in the video itself

It’s well documented it veterinary literature, you can believe the studies or not 🤷‍♀️. It’s not like it kills your cat instantly, you just deal with diabetes kidney or urinary issues in the future. Not sure why someone would not try to prevent that.

So far the only actual study we have on this says it’s not a real thing. Sure, some cats have different preferences but it’s not like you are torturing your cat with normal bowls and need to run out and buy special ones.

If you’re feeding your cat an infinite supply of dry food without a feeding schedule you have bigger things to be concerned about than whisker fatigue.

Bots are running wild thanks to the api changes and the loss of pushift. It’s a feature, not a bug.

To be honest, it looks like their attempt at monetizing the API wasn’t even turned on yet. They just blocked certain API keys from being able to use oauth. Which is what broke RedReader despite it supposed to be spared for blind people.

All third party apps are still working, you just can’t log in. Apps who decided to charge a monthly fee still have no pricing from reddit and are still operating for free until reddit figures out wtf they are doing, or at least that’s what I’ve gathered based on the announcements from those apps.

NSFW content was supposed to be removed from the API yesterday but still nothing 🤷‍♀️

If they must stop why won’t anyone do anything to stop them?

Yeah they could be lying to the EEOC to cover up discrimination in their hiring process. So it’s up to OP to decide if that is what might be going on.

I would love to get all these magical free perks people ITT seem to think we are getting for being native. Where do I sign up? Last time I checked the majority of people on reservations don’t even get clean water

Has New Zealand banned plastic packaging for products that can be packaged in glass/cardboard/aluminum?

These thin ass plastic bags are such a miniscule amount of plastic in comparison. Let’s hit plastic where it hurts

I see these users constantly call for the removal of mods. Let them go the way of interestingasfuck, with mods forcefully removed by the admins and it is now desolate and closed to new submissions

Give the people what they want

And yes I will keep talking about reddit because I love drama. Give me better drama to talk about and I will move on

Record droughts

The end of the entire human race due to climate change

Before that, climate change destroying your house or access to food
