I know for a fact they aren’t married
Do you really? Are you absolutely positive?
The behavior is still maybe not okay, but the rest kind of falls into place if their arrangement is more formal. It's weird to drive your ex-boyfriends car, it's less weird to drive the car of the husband you're currently separated from because it's also kinda your car too.
This is also kinda your best case scenario. It sounds like she's either secretly married and feels bad about not telling you earlier or you're just the side guy.

Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox?

Not many and none that I can think of with deep pockets (besides google). I think the corporate world has almost completely piled on Chrome.

The /r/ShittyLifeProTips moderation team has been destroyed. Reddit admins publicly solicit the community for replacements.

Kind of bummed that the r/LifeProTips mod team seems to have submitted a real request to take over. Just kind of disappointed in the team over there.

Diablo® IV is coming to Steam
Reply in thread
For me, I love the franchise and have really fond memories, but this one feels like a free to play game, but then they also want $70 for it. A game with a premium price point can be okay and a game with microtransactions can also be okay, but trying to be both is going to result in those of us who've been around awhile just taking a pass.

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

If that medical opinion wasn't backed up by doctors and the majority of the medical community, I'd imagine that opinion probably would be.

Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time
Reply in thread
I love projects like this, but I wish we could recapture the limited nature of place along with the sheer amount of engagement. I have no idea how it would work, but I'd love to see large scale limited time events like this take place with instance administrator support and integration into the fediverse somehow.

The last r/place was already heavily monitored by moderators with the ability to place pixels without timers, indiscriminately ban anyone thought to be placing pixels in certain locations from participating, and bury discussions talking about either.
Not sure if they'd bother for this, I'd say it's 50/50 that any attempts to protest will be blacked out and the threads about them buried and/or isolated.

Hey hey, no reason to bring up the past.
I think we agree, the past is over.

/r/PICS moderators receive /u/ModCodeofConduct message accusing them of breaking site rules by switching to NSFW; mods can't reply, so post public response instead

Note the statement to remove any and all offensive content. If they're still going the malicious compliance route, they're implying they're going to nuke the sub.

I'm really sorry man, but it sounds like you're just the backup plan. It sucks, but the most important thing to know here is that you deserve better.

mods could handle it more easily probably
I kind of feel like the opposite, for a lot of instances, 'mods' are just a few guys who check in sporadically whereas larger companies can mobilize full teams in times of crisis, it might take them a bit of time to spin things up, but there are existing processes to handle it.
I think spam might be what kills this.

4 Germans caught marking Hitler's birthday outside the Nazi dictator's birthplace
Reply in thread
I like where your heads at, and I'm usually all for anything that makes it harder to be a Nazi. Like, seriously, how is that still a thing in 2024?
But, it's one of those slippery slopes where you have to wonder how far you take the idea, and at one point does banning just Nazi symbolism slowly turn into banning symbolism of things the government just doesn't care for today. It's easy to say that "We stop at Nazis" but then it just takes one asshole saying "Oh, does that mean this other group isn't so bad because we're not applying it to them?".

Reddit braces for life after API changes
r/videos is posting text descriptions of videos.
This actually sounds a lot more interesting than r/videos was before. I feel like I'm missing out on an amazing meme-based guessing game.

So… what's going on?
I think a lot of us have had the same thoughts looking around kbin.
We all appreciate the work Ernest has done, but we really need someone to dedicate some time to picking out a team to help him, but it seems like that's not happening for whatever reason. I know there's a few other people in the codeberg, but I believe there was a falling out there. What we really need in addition to that though is just generic admins.

r/programming was one of the earliest subreddits, I think it was actually #2. Can't view it anymore, but the moderation team of r/programming would have been pretty reddit admin/staff heavy. Pretty sure spez was listed on the moderation team at one point.
