I had only planned to leave Reddit once their API pricing impacted apps. But then spez/Huffman decided to go around bad mouthing all of us old guard reditors and moderators, so now fuck him. I'm not going back even for a day or two.
Of course they are--it hurts their economy and reputation.
I'd also like to say that I don't appreciate how @BrikoX constantly posts the same articles to multiple magazines/communities at a time. It makes everything redundant. This isn't Reddit and you don't need to be a power user. Pick the best community and leave it at that.
Texas’ power grid operator is asking residents to voluntarily cut back on electricity due to anticipated record demand on the system as a heat wave keeps parts of the state and southern U.S. in triple-digit temperatures. Much of Texas on Tuesday was under excessive heat warnings. In the West Texas city of San Angelo,...
While I feel bad for the people who don't vote for this sort of nonsense, I also can't help but feel some schadenfreude that the rest of them reap what they sow.
Chicken grown from animal cells, not from slaughtered birds, can now be sold in the U.S. The Agriculture Department issued approvals Wednesday to California firms Upside Foods and Good Meat to sell the products, known as “lab-grown” or “cultivated” meat. The meat is grown in steel tanks, using cells that come from a...
Daniel Rodriguez, the man who attacked then-Washington, DC, police officer Michael Fanone with an electroshock weapon in the neck during the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, was sentenced Wednesday to 12 and a half years in prison.
In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a...
That is quite a thorough and damning article. It's infuriating how openly corrupt some members of the supreme court are. Even more infuriating that they get away with it, and that almost certainly won't change because the wealthy own this country.
Performance has fallen significantly since the 2019-2020 school year, when the coronavirus pandemic wrought havoc on the nation’s education system. But the downward trends reported today began years before the health crisis, raising questions about a decade of disappointing results for American students.
For anyone too eager to simply blame the pandemic. This trend was already happening, which means that we can't simply expect things to improve now that school life is back to normal.
In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.

I was saying just the other day how I suspect that, in the future, people will look back on what we ate now and marvel at how we basically ate poison every day. Insane amounts of sugar and simple carbohydrates, PFAS and microplastics in everything, highly processed foods, etc.
But with the state of society, so many people don't have the time or energy cook properly. Everything goes to work and other chores/requirements just to get by.
If you can't afford to pay your employees a decent wage, you should raise your prices or you shouldn't be in business.
There are a few places here in Seattle which have eliminated tipping, raised prices, and raised wages. I greatly prefer this, personally speaking. Add no, I'm not going to start tipping every random cashier just because they start prompting me to.
The pricing Reddit is charging is obscene and would mean that Apollo would be forced to pay $20 million per year to keep the app running. Other popular third-party apps would have to pay similarly outrageous costs. It’s clearly a blatant attempt to run them off Reddit so the site can force users to use its first-party app instead.
It's nice to see an article which finally states the obvious truth--that Reddit wants the third party apps to die so they can have a captive audience to advertise to.
