I agree, but don’t forget that holding the overprivileged responsible to society for the wealth that society gave them is one of the necessary steps towards that reform. Without a culture of giving back, the change we want will never happen.

I agree. I don’t go to church. I donate to a children’s hospital in my city.

I donate 10% of my income every month, which is as much as I can and also 33.3x more than 0.3%. Don’t paint everyone with the same brush, especially not to defend the haves from the have-nots.

Possibly stupid question: if they found out that people were doing illegal stuff on it, doesn’t that mean that they were monitoring people’s conferences? I thought that the FOSS community was big on privacy.

I know it’s photoshopped because I was there and Obama was wearing an eyepatch. The image used for the meme shows all four of his eyes.

That photoshopped meme of Obama putting a medal on himself also fits.

Exactly. But AFAIK every Denuvo game eventually gets cracked, so at least we will have the pirate copies. From a preservation standpoint, a dumped ROM is much better than a physical cartridge anyway, since it’s more portable and easier to back up. It’s the contents of the cartridge minus the physical limitations.

There’s a difference between time not passing and not existing. To a photon, space (in the direction of its movement) doesn’t exist, as its origin and destination points are the same. But time does not pass - the axis of time is there, but the photon never budges in either direction, like a rock buried in the middle of the desert doesn’t move in any spatial direction on a human timescale. The photon’s beginning and end aren’t simultaneous, quite the opposite. Since it can’t move in time, they might as well be infinitely far apart.

Photons exist, so there is the perspective of a photon. Most may not be absorbed but that’s irrelevant because some are. And when they are, their perspective - like them - ends. Like yours does when you die.

The photon does not experience time, but we do, so from our perspective they can be emitted and absorbed even though from their perspective they are timeless. Again, like us. Before you were born, you didn’t experience being not alive. From your own perspective, you’ve always existed, even though from the perspective of someone older than you, there was a time when you didn’t.

How exactly is it racist?

Getting sick in the USA is like going to one of those fancy restaurants where the prices aren’t on the menu and are always a lot higher than they should be, eh.

Should cars be required by law not to let you drive to drug deals? Should glasses be required by law not to let you read banned books? Should testicles be required by law not to produce government-unsanctioned sperm?

Be that as it may, the quality of Reddit’s content has dropped significantly. The people who left were the heart and soul of the platform. And the ones who didn’t leave are still pissed. Bluntly, the site’s gone to shit. It will not recover.

Will it shut down? Probably not, but that’s why I said “in every way that matters”. Digg hasn’t shut down either, even after all these years, but it has become completely irrelevant. Just give Reddit time to bleed out and it will be the same.

It’s not mental gymnastics, but fine. I won’t beleaguer the point. What about the rest of my comment?

Why are you trying so hard to miss my point? Either that or I really suck at communication.

Again, I’m not comoparing Lemmy to Reddit. I myself am on Kbin.

Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that Lemmy is getting bugger than Reddit. I just wanted to point out that Reddit is bleeding a lot of users. And judging by how Reddit’s post quality has dropped, it’s bleeding the best ones.

If Reddit won, why have Lemmy and Kbin’s userbases grown so steeply since June? Why has the quality of Reddit’s content plummeted terribly? Why is /r/place just one endless ocean of “fuck spez”?

Reddit only “won” in the same way that Florida “won” against illegal immigrants and is now facing a massive workforce shortage in essential industries.

Reddit may not be dead yet, but it’s mortally wounded already. It’s bleeding out and will be dead in every way that matters soon.

Stats.FM is another good one. It shows you all sorts of statistics on what you listen to, which you can filter by time period and use to find new music.
