Sometimes you need to just let things go.

Ars and Reddit are under the same parent company, conde nast or however that's all structured. I also have noticed ars seems to write very frequently about Reddit, even if it is usually in a critical light.

I get mixed feelings about articles like this one.

Garbage bags. I don't particularly care WHICH brand, but I won't do generic. The consequences if the bag rips open are horrifying.

Former Relay user here.

Willing to bet the comments in that thread are positive because survivorship bias, at least in part. Folks like me who deleted the app probably wouldn't have commented, after all. I'm also sure I wasn't the only one to see the subscription prompt come up and just delete the app.

knew it was coming and decided ahead of time that when I was forced to pay, I'd just delete the app.

I understand this platform is still young so the community hasn't really decided on standards but imo there are a lot of parallels that can be drawn between this and email. And with email, blocking an entire domain is usually strictly to deal with spam.

For a platform like this, we should probably extend that to illegal content but no further than that imo. Objectionable content should be handled via moderation, blocking, and just not subscribing to that content in the first place.

Just my $0.02

Do you realize how difficult it is to move from one country to another? It's expensive as hell, and if you're a US citizen you still owe taxes on money you make while living abroad.

Additionally, the cost to renounce US citizenship is the highest in the world by a large margin. $2350 + exit taxes, as of this writing. https://common.usembassy.gov/en/renounce-citizenship/

Next highest is Jamaica at $1040 as of this writing. https://congenjamaica-ny.org/renunciation-of-jamaican-citizenship/

The USA is an inescapable hellhole for the poor, so think for a few seconds before you make another shit comment like this.

This isn't even new. Why are we posting things from over two years ago and treating it like some sort of revelation?

Also honorable mention to Amelia Tyler for getting runner up for this award!

saw this one making the rounds the other day, I think it's quite fitting https://twitter.com/SaeedDiCaprio/status/1750152798623195473

do not use other genocides to describe this one

In these specific instances I agree with you. The few I looked at were just single or no post communities. I think the mods just want to give these a chance in case anyone actually does want to take them over and breathe some life into them.

In general though, I think it's healthy for the fediverse to have options, even with similar topics. I'm sure you might recall situations on Reddit where people didn't like how a sub was moderated, so some people would set up r/TRUEwhatever.

Lots of people are probably just waiting for better apps for lemmy + the drop dead date for Reddit 3rd party apps. I am, anyway. I'd expect a shift in activity in July.

Not necessarily to justify Gizmodo in this instance, but Slack does paywall their SSO feature behind their Business+ Plan, which seems to currently run $12.50/mo/user, which is about a 70% increase from their next pricing tier. See: https://slack.com/pricing

Given the price difference I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't want to pay for that.

Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/

Big agree. I had my fair share of needing to save scum because the game bugged out e.g. characters stuck inside walls or objects, actions not executing properly, etc.

Hopefully by the time they release the patch with this new difficulty option the game will have enough polish that it can be played in true ironman fashion.

Epicurious put out a fun video last week having a few chefs compare boxed mac and cheese products. You might find it interesting https://youtu.be/uambW2W6zmQ

Set up 2FA/MFA for all of your accounts wherever supported. It's probably one of the few easier things you can do that is missing from your list, and you will vastly improve your security posture for it.

I just use Google authenticator but there are plenty of other apps out there if you'd prefer something else.

I was thinking along a similar line, except -

Done. Chickens are now also extinct.

Legally, you cannot refuse. DMCA is written such that the host must take down first and ask questions later.

Most facilities may not care, but I imagine stuff like this is of great interest to hospitals.
