Removal of piracy communities
Honestly fuck off. I came to Lemmy because I'm sick of people telling me what I can view and how I can view it. Guess I'll go find another instance again.

What's the best financial decision you've ever made?
I dumped most of my life savings into buying stocks after COVID happened. I had just started investing and took a massive hit in March of 2020. Rather than pulling my money, I waited a month for the market to stop falling. Then I put a lot of money into US oil, and a few Casino/resort stocks.
I didn't have a ton of money, but those investments have more than doubled. I still can't fully pay of my house, but im getting close.

What are some of the best purchases of your life?
Battery backup for network equipment. Having your router stay on when the power drops for a few minutes is the best.

Two yellow Lamborghinis crashed in Singapore
Hate to see a nice car damaged like that, but its incredibly satisfying to think about how some rich guy lost a shit load of money because of something stupid

Team Fortress 2 Update Released (July 25, 2023) [community fixes (!), minor map/VSH balance, experimental maxplayer uncapping]
This is such a huge boost to the games longevity! I can see some crazy game-modes coming out that include more than the standard 24/32 players.

Reddit slowly became filled with hate
people forget r/imgoingtohellforthis was a thing. Hate was always on reddit. It might have been disguised as something else, but it was there. Problem is its impossible to tell what's satire and whats actually objectionable. There was a tipping point where imgoingtohellforthis switched from satire to objective racism. Reddit started its downward decline the day that sub got banned. I dont endorse what they became, but banning them proved reddit was no longer as open as they claimed.

That's a pretty good example. I remember there was a youtube video that discussed the sub when it got banned. This was years ago so I don't remember who uploaded it. The guy discussed that (as a fat person), he didn't like that it got banned. It was really easy for him to block the sub so he would never see that kind of content. Then when it got banned those people flooded out to everywhere else. The echochamber was actually somewhat effective in containing that group of people.

Rules of Use for Bots
Is there a feature that could allow linking a bot account to a parent account? Then if you ban the bot it could automatically ban the parent account and any other accounts it manages?

I took a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge
This is a really solid shot. Its hard not to love pictures of this bridge.
You didn't ask for it, but here is some criticism:
Please take more pictures. You have an eye for it so keep pushing forward. Share more!

Found this one challenging. Got it on my fourth guess. My first guess was a complete miss.

Ah, F2.8 is fine. The background being blurred out is good because the focus should be entirely on the model. You could stop down or use a strong ND filter and try and do a long exposure to get the water nice and blurry.

I wouldn't suggest anything really. I do the same thing. You can change the ring to some other setting if you want (or turn it off)
