Just one of the many benefits of letting the companies that own the media report on themselves. Worst of men, worst of reasons, etc

So now we know who Huffman wants to be when he grows up. Muskrat. And that wraps up the show for today folks. Time to pull the plug on Reddit.

He doesn't just roll in Cheetos dust?

Used to mean something else in the world of machinery and auto mechanics. Old school stuff. There is a screw that holds the distributor cap in place. A mechanic would loosen that screw and rotate the whole distributor cap very slightly, maybe 5° or so, the thing is round, so that's a really small portion of a circle. So one could turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to advance or retard the timing.

And how much does reddit pay?

I am waiting for someone to make a Pez dispenser with his head on it. But it only dispenses huge API charges and senseless threats.

Would also have been news

I agree. I came over to check it out, like what I have found and I'm going to stay. Don't miss the ads and the bots, this is a pretty cool place. If it were possible to send some sort of larger message to the money people at reddit, great. If they still keep doing what they were already doing, whatever. I'm glad I found this place.

But if you could that is absolutely the first thing that they would try, turn it off and then back on

In an alternate universe somewhere, Roberts penalizes Alito and Thomas for turning the court into their personal atm

I just plain quit using Reddit. But I am an old guy. I have walked a picket line. When negotiations fail then for the average person to have any leverage against a massive system then the cost to return with no spelled out terms must be infinitely high.

I think they are getting closer to else

These kind of unsolicited reports from users prove a really important point, and one that Spez and company would prefer to ignore. If you have good enough content people will pay for an ad-free experience.

Wow. Absolutely great work. Thank you

Can we do this to Trump?

Seems to me that rich people, especially obnoxious rich people, don't get to see very many people behaving as they naturally would. If you are not impressed by their money then you probably ignore and avoid. If you are then you are fake nice. I doubt that they get a very realistic take on what people in general really think.

Movement is good. She's a moron and a Trump appointee. I was hoping she would recuse herself.

I think it's mostly an expensive toy. They made it VTOL so it does not have to go fast enough on the ground to become airborne. That's ok, it doesn't need a runway to take off, but VTOL is way to make things fly that really have no business flying. Airplanes have a certain shape because they have to. This thing looks like a bar of soap in comparison. I'm sure it uses a ton of energy to stay airborne, it would have the glide coefficient of a rock.

New.

For me the big takeaway here is that as long as we choose to participate in a system that is ultimately driven by a profit motive we are going to be the means to that end. Kbin, lemmy, calckey, whatever other flavor of the fediverse you may be using, doesn't have that feature. As the people who chose to be mods for free on Reddit demonstrated, people will dedicate alot to a thing that feels like a community or a movement. Not so much to a thing that feels like a commercial enterprise. So yeah, Spez is a self serving idjit. But maybe he did us a favor by motivating us to find something better.
