Definitely any of the showerthoughts communities

Because Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn’t like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.

Now with ads!

All new cars are spying on you.

The script I used also edited my comments prior to deletion, but it apparently didn’t hit my older posts on the edits either.

They may have tried. Most of the services used to wipe posts and comments were ineffective on content more than a couple years old because Reddit wouldn’t report that the content existed.

I couldn’t verify this directly either, but I know some users had also claimed that, after Reddit started catching on to what people were doing, they’d keep the content anyways, un-edited, and just hide it from view on your account so you wouldn’t know it was still there unless you went back to find the original posts, which most people wouldn’t know where to find.

During the whole debacle, I wiped my content but kept my account in the hopes that they’d backtrack on their decisions. Shortly after joining Lemmy, I googled a question on Reddit and saw that I had an inbox message, someone replying to a comment that I had made years before which, surprise, was not deleted. Clicking on my comment history on my profile showed nothing, but the message was still there in the thread under my name.

View desktop site, that gets past this bullshit 9 times out of 10.

Fuck 'em on principle though.

Sadly no, your Steam account can be closed at any time and you have no recourse to access your purchased content if that happens. Likewise, Steam can suspend service and you lose access to your content as well.

But that’s not just a Steam thing, it’s digital media as a whole. Even a physical disc is not ownership, it’s just a license to access the content it contains.

Let me know if you find any favorites, I am down for anything easy and quick if they’re out there (as long as it’s not more rice and beans).

I gave being vegan a go but stopped because I couldn’t keep up with it.

Working 60-hour weeks makes it hard to meal prep, so I order out a lot, and there aren’t many vegan friendly dining options in my area.

I ended up skipping a lot of family gatherings because Cantonese food isn’t all that vegan friendly. The one thing I never wanted to be was “that guy” who needed a special menu when invited to social events, so I thought it was easier to just withdraw. Being very lactose intolerant as a kid did not help in that regard when friends would want to go out for ice cream or eat birthday cake and I’d always feel like “that guy”.

At a particularly low point for me, when I was eating the same garden salad for dinner for 2 weeks straight, I ended up having a bit of a breakdown. My therapist said that it is admirable to be vegan, but my behavior at the time was verging on having a martyr complex, and that I should stop punishing myself to make a point.

I’m currently a pescatarian, which is the only concession I could make at present to let myself eat my family’s home-cooked meals that are usually made with a fish sauce of some sort. I’d like to try going vegan again at some point when I’m in a better mental space, but it’s something that some of us have to find our way into gradually.

I like and admire vegans.

I probably should be vegan because I am lucky enough to have the economic privilege to support that kind of lifestyle.

But, as with many other communities centered around lifestyle topics, I would never want to participate in a vegan community. Lifestyle communities always become insular and echo-chambery, so you become a pariah if you don’t properly adhere to 100% of the community consensus behaviors.

Not just vegans, but you see it happen with fitness communities, diy/home decor, a lot of hobbies, etc.

It was a problem on my device (Galaxy S21) a year ago, but an Android update ended up fixing it for me later on. It seems to vary based on which version of Android the app is running on.

Because every step of the way, they need a flock of MBAs to figure out the answer to the question “How do we make money off of this?”

Elon, probably:

“Our bot sometimes spreads misinformation? Unacceptable, we’ll fix it ASAP. The bot should always be spreading misinformation, ‘sometimes’ doesn’t cut it.”

They don’t need to satisfy the complainers, since they wouldn’t be paying for Windows anyways. They need to satisfy their corporate partners who will be paying Microsoft for Pro licenses and yearly Office 365 subscriptions.

It’s Microsoft, there’s always something to complain about.

I dunno, most steam power just involves passing an environmental burden down several generations, which seems like a scam to me.

The Bear season 4

Agreed. Fuck, I’d even say that’s just appropriate damages, not even just magnified to match their means. They killed a doctor. I’d want Disney to compensate not just for her life, but for all of the invaluable medical care she’d have been able to provide for who knows how many patients over a long career which was cut tragically short by sheer negligence.

If an article title is posed as a question, the answer is always no.
