Must have had too many heated arguments in customer support I guess.

Chances are that he bought twitter to gain influence in mass media. BTW those 42 billions were investor’s money, he’s still the richest man on earth.

I see. Well there’s not way you could know this if you’re out of the loop. Anyway, if you’re not fine with the price tag just don’t buy it and don’t use it. No need to pirate this, it’s not a life saving tool

Idk, here they are pirating stuff a the expenses of a single modder from what I gather. And just to sava 5 usd? Really? A soft drink costs more and it’s probably unhealthy. There’s work behind these things, that ain’t free, you get it? I get it it’s a patreon, but what are they supposed to do if they aim to make a living on that?

They may even count that as engagement. By their metrics you still saw and interacted with an ad.

I completed the cycle of jabs and now I don’t need another one for a while here, when it come to covid, and I suggest doing the same if you haven’t, this is Still a virus and it’s no joke. Now I’m waiting for the flu shot to be released here, cause after the experience of the last year’s flu I say never again.

Money. They think that his money, regardless of its nature, is an achievement. That’d be the some as sympathising with bankman fried, cause he got money doing what he did, and they see money=power; while also ignoring the quality and the stability of one’s life: good relationships and proper wellbeing are not things that go hand in hand with huge sums of money, even more so when they are the product of serious crimes. The truth is that doing what he did for his fans means big jail time and misery. I couldn’t imagine growing in this age, bombarded by this kind of information all the time. To me the most controversial thing was an unsuccessful trip with my family, yeah imagine that today…

Honestly it’s what there is to it…those are my biggest gripes with that. I recommend using old reddit or just the site and turning off notifications. If you use their app as they want you to use it, it’s bad…

I can tell you my personal experience with this.

•there’s a lot of content on the surface, but most of it comes from automated accounts and reposts. Posting anything on any subreddit is increasingly hard. Mods and users do what they can

•the anti spam automated system is off the roof, you can easily trigger that with a new account, and both mods and users can fall victim of that.

•the recommendation system is liquid filth. You touch a post once, now you’re getting flooded with content from that subreddit. You can turn off the recommendation system deep in the settings, certainly not in a user friendly context.

•notification galore: even if you turn off those recommended posts, those can be notified by the app (or via email) at any given time. So I accidentally interacted with some awful subreddit, now I’m getting said subreddit notified at 4 am. Not even kidding here. Not even tiktok dared to send me as much notifications as the reddit app/website.

•lots of hate speech. If you leave the good subs, you can find openly racist posts (muted shitpotlicssay after n-word posting, both in the title and in the comments) and extremism in general.

Unfortunately it’s still a useful resource for technical subs, which are still good, but reddit as a whole is fvched beyond belief.

Relevant part:

Pets are now often considered to be a member of the family, and their health-care decisions are weighed with the same gravity. But the consequences of not vaccinating animals can be just as dire as humans. Dogs, for example, are responsible for 99% of rabies cases globally. Rabies, which is often transmitted via a bite, is almost always fatal for animals and people once clinical signs appear. A drop in rabies vaccination could constitute a serious public health threat

At some point it becomes a matter of public health and safety.

True for any pet…I lost count of how many kittens are impossible to save because they grew as strays. So many of them. I try to do something and I feel like sh1t after seeing how many of those attempts failed, it’s depressing and i am a tad too sensitive for this. Neuter your pet please, I don’t want to see any more neglected pets…

It became useless partly due to the overmarketing and the reliance on ads, of annoyingly useless websites using SEO to stay ahead of legitimate resources (happened so many times now it’s terrible), but also for the aformentioned reason: everyone published on their social media (walled gardens) so they don’t appear on search engines. Particularly evident with dicord and facebook groups taking over forum. Well, they won’t ever appear on a search engine. Reddit is an exception, but nowdays it’s completely app-centric, the web ui is terrible (the app is even worse if you dare using it).

There’s as many gb emulators as possible, for a while i used nostalgia emulator (great ui and functional save state feature) but you can also run retroarch and other multiemulators. The one thing you need is the rom, but that is another story.

In the meantime, we also have a clear example of actual indoctrination:

“We cannot perpetuate a lie to our students, and push this propaganda leftist agenda, teaching our kids to hate America, and hate one another,” she said."

I can’t do much about any of this but i can say that you certainly cannot prevent people from discussing this in other settings, and i (hope) think this “ban” will just raise awarness on these themes

You can add a basic “-sitename” to avoid useless websites, for example you can format your query lile this: “search query -quora -pinterest -buzzfeed”

I’ve actually gone back to the old way, find a realiable site or publication and then add my links to the browser, very old school but still absoultely relevant. Also, since llm are a thing, i use the for extra searches with things like perplexity ai. I also appreciate chronological feeds, so that i am the one to pick and choose what to see and not some automated system that i don’t truly trust. With some exceptions, clearly.
