“Please let us know within the next 48 hours if you plan on re-opening.” - The Verge
So... They're going to force reopen the subs before the API turn off and claim the protests had no effect?

What is this connector?
Maybe one of these?
On AliExpress: 12.7mm USB 2.0 DVD/CD-ROM Case , IDE/ PATA to SATA Optical Drive External Enclosure For Laptop https://a.aliexpress.com/_Evga3Y0
Looks like a high density IDE connector.
I'd shop around for similar products, not sure if you need USB, SATA or just big IDE.

Only half of required number of trainee secondary teachers in England recruited
It's not just the poor level of pay, it's also the crippling workload and lack of progression. Beyond a certain point your only way to progress up the pay scale is to move into the middle management of schools, which becomes less and less actual teaching, so to get slightly more reasonable pay you have to sacrifice the reason you got into teaching in the first place. For the teachers I know who've quit though, they could never be paid enough to get back into teaching, the workload and stress, the lack of backup with agressive pupils, hostile work environement generally (multiple people have said the kids are bad for bullying, but the staff are worse). We need to look at teaching in other countries and take note, because they way we've set it up isn't working.

TIL that on Firefox you can unload tabs from memory without closing them

I find pinning my WhatsApp tab sorts that out, it seems to autoload pinned tabs into memory on launch.

How is an hourly salary that low allowed? It's not the customer exploiting the server, its the business surely.

Update from r/formula1 regarding meeting with reddit to reopen
Then the only recourse is malicious compliance, a mod team running the sub into the ground over a few months? Or let Reddit appoint wholely unsuitable mods and laugh as the sub is run into the ground anyway. Either that or they appoint Reddit staff to moderate, their staff are stretched too thin with the extra workload (many subs will need new mods) and the sub/s collapse, or they hire more staff to moderate and the company crumbles under the inflated wage bill (explains why they desperately want any sympathetic existing mods to take on as much responsibility as possible, free labour).
Basically I don't see this ending well for Reddit.

I would assume that means they also plan to replace the real people who left the platform with activity from bot accounts to make it seem like business as usual for the planned IPO.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's letter to Reddit employees in response to blackout

Just gotta watch out for the old EEE tactics Microsoft has pulled in the past, if they manage to stuff content into ActivityPub posts against the spec which encourage people to move to their "compatible" service and making the normal apps seem broken. Google does the same thing with Chrome features against web standards set by the W3C.

Trying to find a game I remember... (FOUND)
I FOUND IT! I ACTUALLY FOUND IT! I had exhausted all my more targeted ways of finding it and resorted to Google images searching for "point and click game bar" and found a screenshot I recognised.
The game is Mudlarks.
Sorry for the couple of details I misremembered, and thank you to everyone trying to help.
