Why are 3rd party apps still working?

    Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

    Checo: Turn 3 tho.
    Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.

  • 'Rate limit exceeded;' Twitter down for thousands of users worldwide
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    I'd say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
    The world will be a better place.

  • Freedom of thought and freedom to post.
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    Example. One of the better subreddits has a "few" rules.

    The rules are too long for a post here.... so you get a small image.

    Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.

  • Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    Nobody wants to listen.

    When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

    We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.

    "The planet will be fine, it's us humans that are fucked." /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.

  • Reddit seems to restrict posting so much in different subs that freedom of thought is impacted. One has to think if the post is within not only Reddit rules, but the special rules in the sub, and one had to make the title and post Reddit specific in style (simple, punny, meta). And if one happened to post a topic that was really good or great, a mod sometimes deleted the post anyway with a vague explanation.... and then you see the post appear by that same mod with slightly different wording as it was their own. Call them out on it and you were muted, and sometimes even banned. If one had a dissenting opinion on a topic, and brought forth a compelling argument, automatically the post was downvoted by the hive-mind and no discussion took place. They called themselves the front page of the Internet. I found the doors closed and locked and all the pens out of ink.

    RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

  • What's your most-loved non-star movie/show?
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    Red Dwarf.
    It's goofy. It's campy. It's sometimes terrible.
    But it grows on you and by the time you are done through season 2 you love the show and only want more. And oh yes there is more, much more.

  • If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don't want to see that.
    And no, we don't need to grow the Fediverse that way. It's better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.

    Learn from history. Don't repeat it!

    Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
    Oh wait. It's wholly expected.

  • Are there any good jobs out there where you can show up, do your work, and then just leave when it's done?
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    You'd be surprised how many jobs just requires you to sit in a chair all day looking busy.

    I do my dayjob, in an office with the screen not visible to anyone else, and when there is no work to do I go ahead and do some of my independent work. I look busy as heck all 8 workhours. I get no extra reqests to "help out", or last minute critical whatever.
    I make 2.5-3x my job salary.

  • Freight train carrying hot asphalt, molten sulfur plunges into the Yellowstone River as bridge fails
  • Cal Cal 1y ago 100%

    It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
    The richest country on earth can't even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
    That same country suffers from economic troubles.
    Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
    What's standing in their way?
