I'd really prefer if we do our own thing and let Reddit slowly fade into obscurity.

Reddit is going public. Will its unruly user base revolt?

Sadly tons of subs are very active with real people. It's a lot of momentum to shift.

why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through?
You're describing a UI that I've only seen in cheap hardware store flashlights. Yes it's infuriating when you can't just turn a light on or off, and choose the mode you want. I use strobe when crossing streets at night but my lights make it easy to access that feature when I want it.
Who is this "favorite flashlight manufacturer"? I find it odd that you both have a favorite, and buy lights that act like this. There are thousands that don't.

Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**
I'm just seeing a wall of the same crap about Reddit and Twitter most of the time. I need to learn it better, and I think the technology has room to grow. The userbase exploded, and a lot of people have their own ideas of how it should work.

Richard Stallman has cancer
Is he accepting medical treatments that require non-free software? Serious question, from what I know of him he would rather die. I don't know if that changes when you're actually faced with it though.

A phone company developed an AI 'granny' to beat scammers at their own game
Well scammers are using bots too, so it's just going to be to two bots talking to each other and the only winners are the LLM providers and power utilities.

Do you ever feel like you have to apologize for .7z archives?
Nope. If someone complains I'll just stick the files in a JFS formatted file and compress it to tar.xz

FLAC is the same or better than CD, as long as the source format is supported. I checksummed a CD, then ripped it to FLAC, and burned it back to a new CD and the hashes matched...what more do you want?

Could Google be using Reddit to revive an ancient, failed project? — 60,000+ Redditors may well be mTurk’ing for Google Answers 2.0
So AI is taking away having to answer the same questions over and over again for lazy people, are we complaining?

"Muggle Mode" is for Anduril 1, Anduril 2 usually comes in "Simple UI" by default, and requires unlocking which is probably better for most users. Anyone familiar will be able to detect it and unlock, other people are less likely to burn themselves.

Any recommendations for a Linux tablet/convertible to use at school?
I'm really tempted to order a StarLite, and I feel like that would be the best fit for you, but understand the hesitance to be an early adopter. Maybe you can pick up a used device to tick the boxes and order one later.
