Checkers. You start with only one piece type and they go to the trouble to make all those squares and you only use half of 'em.

If in doubt, ^Z

This is the last ad that had me paying full attention when it first came on. It was ran during the football finals season and they made two cuts, one for NRL and one for AFL. https://youtu.be/gbMeKMkE_mk

Raspberry pi os was built for education, it’s a fork of debain and can run on computers that aren’t raspberry pis. They also have a digital bookshelf with many ebooks that can also be downloaded without the OS as they’ve been released as creative commons.

If I remember right, there was a spam detector bot or similar which I’m sure was third party and it either went off altogether or the project was suspended after accessing the API was going to come in.

And what about the church of SubGenius?

May I suggest the fine words of two of the best musicians from San dimas . “Be excellent to each other & party on dudes”.

I know they’ve had a reference to vault in their app for a while now. I clicked on it several months ago and it said something about digital wallet and signups, and I stopped there.

Its a reference to the show “Letterkenny”

I heard it was ostriches. Allegedly.

I thought of writing a reply over there and maybe they’d get something out of it, but i think anything said will fall on deaf ears. It would have been short and maybe been more for my benefit then theirs by getting some feelings out (edit: Can of worms opened & were off…).

I joined up on Reddit to interact with some nerds, i thought they were funny. It really helped me get through some trying times, especially watching “The game” and looking forward to its daily updates. Im sad it didnt finish. After the subs mod asked for more mods, i put my hand up and helped out for a bit with another new mod. This mod who asked was effectively running the place.

The active, long time mod sought to gain the top mod position as there were other mods who were doing tens of actions a month while they and the new mods were doing thousands. Reddit knocked the request back saying they counted as active. It was things like approving posts that didnt need to be approved and unstickying posts.

Without going into intermod drama, the active long time mod left and i followed shortly after. I had been spending many hours in the sub, getting rid of spam etc and something hit one day after the ad-free time from a platinum i was gifted ran out and i started seeing ads. I felt that Reddit giving active mods a free premium was the least they could do. I was seeing how much time i spend in the app and had other things to do.

I think Reddit has lost something, it feels different and likely the 3rd party apps have lead to a lot of key contributors leaving. After that kicked off I started putting one foot out the door over there and now i’d say ive got two out. I might stilll drop in sometime, but by will to create has completely gone. And I’m annoyed how r/blind was treated.

I wont be participating in place although i did for place 22 and found it fun. I will be curious about the results though and if someone goes to place extra pixels again. I know they are pushing for an IPO and think it will end up different to however anyone envisaged it happening in January.

I’m happy with Lemmy and this instance and will try my best to be a good participant here in recognition of donated server time and it being run as a hobby. Thanks lemmy.world admins for running and hosting and being open and honest about policies and events.

Dont trade with me, i dont have any to give. Platinum is more efficient, i dont know if the ad free bonus stacks though. Gold cost 500 coins giving and gives a week ad-free, Platinum cost 1,800 and gives a month ad-free.

If anyone has any coins they want to dump, r/GoForGold has reopened for challenges.

If you want to get rid of them quickly, a challenge could be like “first 5 commenters get a platinum”, you could award a community award. GoForGold have a 5,000 coin “Golden Bracelet Award” which gives 1,000 coins to mods to give out on behalf of the sub. (10,000 also gives them 1,000 so 5,000 is better value. same for the 40,000 coin award, only giving 4,000 to community). The GoForGold mods have a summer bonanza lined up and i think they’ll find a way to make use of all community awarded coins.

If you want to get rid of them efficiently, the timeless beauty award gives the awardee 100 coins to spend and the community.

Giving a gold medal gives the recipient a week of ad-free browsing and giving a platinum gives a month of ad-free browsing.

On the new scheme, A while ago i had Reddit app installed and noted there was an option for a “vault” in the menu bar where you could share stuff with other people, it needed a sign up for something else and i didn’t look further into it, but think it could be related.

Since all the 3rd party stuff kicked off, Reddit feels different. Also i noted they kicked up a stink saying that DNDMemes and NCD were both SFW when people joined and its unfair that mods changed it to NSFW. When i signed up i could award people coins and without a replacement scheme out for us to judge it feels a bit hypocritical.

any suggestions?

r/GoForGold has reopened for challenges.

You could host your own challenge or if you wanted to move them quickly, If you give two x 5,000 coin community awards the mods will get 1,000 coins for their mod pool and theyre looking to have a summer bonanza.

If you were to host a challenge, it could be like guess the three numbers i’ve picked between 1-100 for a platinum. Another poster has put a challenge there saying first 25 people to comment get a gold.

I once had the official app installed and saw it had something in the menu bar called “Vault” and was something to sign up for and said i could share stuff with my friends. I didnt look into it further, but think it might be related.

ZipSlack FTW

After i read your comment, i thought “Nah, its a worldwide community” and when i checked back a few hours ago, its pretty much back to usual. Oh well.

I know its only one data point, but I just logged on to see how many people were online in a sub i used to frequent and it was down 30-50%, the lowest numbers i’ve seen all year.

“Tomorrow is when the real shit hits the fan.” I don’t know about that. I think it’ll take a while and there will be several stages. Tomorrow the power users leave, and moderators might either do a lot less or disappear completely.

Then would be a rise in bots (i saw an AITA post i thought might be bot generated as i couldnt possibly think how “OP” could be anything but an asshole) and spammers, people voting might help keep some of that at bay while the users who browse by hot might still get what they want. Then there would likely be migrations of users.

I think people who go to subs like funny and AITA could still be there for a while, but i think the content will degrade and some subs i think have taken permanent hits in viewership. 4 months ago i could think of some where i’d consider advertising a product to a niche, but there’s zero chance i’d be parting with money today.

I think the effects of this will be large and far reaching, but those looking to cash out are still steaming ahead for their IPO payday, and whatever happens from there will be the new owners concern. It’d be different if i thought they wanted to IPO and still hold a large share of the company, but everything im seeing leads me to believe thats not the case.
