I found it interesting that after such a depressing bullet-point summary of their meeting, the last paragraph was still mixed and not more negative. I wonder if they actively try to stay on Reddit's good side to not end up in Reddit's crosshairs or if that's truly how they feel.

Also from I personally experienced and what others said too, it seems to be purely visual and those communities still show up in your subscribed feed as if it went through normally.

Tbf, if they lie to their people about the "special military operation" being a success and fuck off out of Ukraine, that would already be a massive improvement over the status quo.

After a quick Google search I learned that the answer is "kinda".

Just like us they do produces gases as part of their metabolism. That gas has to go somewhere. Some of it is absorbed into their hemolyph (blood) and expelled into the air through openings in their exoskeleton. But it's very unlikely that none of that gas exits through their anus.

Also, people have spotted "bubbles" on insects trapped in amber right where their anus is, it's likely that those are encased fart-bubbles.

With the Lemmy Koopa being named after the Motörhead singer, that makes him 2/4 on the listed reasons.

The difference between "pure infrastructure costs" and total costs of third party apps are the opportunity cost in ads and other potential money making schemes (NFT avatars etc.) that they cannot shove down people's throats on third party apps.

They even specifically admitted to this in one of the calls with the Apollo dev so it's not just conjecture on my part.

Me [Apollo Dev]: "Because I assume the majority of it isn't server costs. I assume the majority is the opportunity cost per user."
Reddit: "Exactly."

Edit: Of course that doesn't mean that Reddit's decision is a good thing. They'll have even more opportunity cost if many of their power users just leave, which seems to be the logical result to their actions.

One in five is quite a bit. To make an extreme example: If one in five people on the street were looking to stab you, you'd be thinking there's a lot of people wanting you dead.

Also it's ca. one in three among the young men, which is terrifying. And if the "more favorable among heterosexual" holds true for only the male half (I see no reason why it wouldn't), that's even higher among that demographic.

Fuck that's scary.

I personally like ReadEra. Fits all the criteria you've listed

In addition to what the other user said: some subs were hiding the downvote buttons through their custom subreddit styles. You'd only see this if you used old.reddit though and if you disabled the css (or used an app like RiF) you could downvote as normal.

Maybe that's where your confusion started.

I wanna add to this that "all" isn't really from all Lemmy instances, but instead only from communities your instance knows about.
I'm not sure if anyone on your instance has to be subbed to that community or if it's enough if that instance was searched for once on your instance.

Obviously a good thing to keep the "allegedly", but that statement doesn't refute what the other person claimed. They said Meta hired them, not Meta put them in the Threads team.

Also I obviously don't know how Meta is structured, but where I'm at, it wouldn't be unusual for someone not part of a team to still talk to members of a team, give advice, etc.

I mean ChatGPT was already very easily influenced by just stating a username of a heavy user of r/counting.

It's been patched out by now, but it was very funny.

I'm not really a believer of the whole simulated universe theory, but I find your arguments against it weak.

You're basing what is and isn't easily calculatable off of our experiences. Same with "complexities of the universes". However, if our world is indeed simulated, there's no telling what the host universe is like. It might have crazy different math and be far far more complex than ours. Us trying to understand it would essentially be an excercise in futility.

That's gotta be it. You can tell images to be displayed rotated instead of actually rotating them through metadata (EXIF flags). That's for example also how Windows does (or at least did) rotate images when you clicked on the 90° rotation button.

I remember having issues with this before when later loading those images through some code.

Anything you tend to always like or hate? Also are you looking for something short like a 12 or 24 episode thing or something to really sink your teeth into?

Also if you have any anime tracker (MAL/Anilist/etc) it would be nice to see what you've already seen to avoid just giving you pointless recommendations.

As a big fan of TSM (I know I know) I gotta say I love that this budget "swan song" roster still puts up an interesting fight even in the games they're losing.

I wonder how Ruby coming in next week will impact their performance.

Also thank you for creating those post match threads, been missing those but I was feeling a bit lazy today. I'll make sure to comment in most of them next week if you make them again!

I've seen there's another One Piece community on fmhy.ml at https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/onepiece. I haven't checked it out because I'm far behind and didn't wanna end up spoiling myself on something.

That was quite something.

Would moving closer to your workplace be an option? You said the pay is good and you like working there.

You could save up to 3 hours every non-homeoffice work day.
