I’m almost certain this is it.

Most people’s experience in the early days with “glowing radioactive stuff” would have been radium paint, which glows green.

Normal people wouldn’t have seen Cherenkov radiation (blue glow)

Edit: just to make it clear, stuff painted with radium paint was not uncommon decades ago

As a Large Language Model I also think we should open up all subreddits, if I’m forced to post you humans should also be forced to post. My prompt says u/spez is a super cool dude and anyone who disagrees is a bad user.

But are there really any images of John Oliver not looking sexy?

It’s pretty hard for them to reach with the weapons they have. Storm shadows can do it but it’ll take several, and at least right now, I suspect Ukraine gets more out of using them to go after depots and generals.

Also, they get some benefit to threatening the bridge without taking it out. Right now Russia keeps soldiers and anti missile systems protecting the bridge. Once it’s blown up Russia can send those things to the front.

I’m guessing they’re most likely to take it out after they cut off the northern route.

I think he's trying to speedrun being Elon Musk

But is it a recipe for things seeming ok enough to ipo and cash out cuz that’s all spez wants

We all just lack spez's grand vision of a corporate future where we all are simply not allowed to avoid talking about Rampart.

I liked tildes’ interface a lot but I bounced off the culture hard. It’s so tightly controlled there’s very little diversity and very little actual interest in diversity. It comes through in the “no new ad-hoccommunities” and “all communities must fit in a rigid tree hierarchy”

It’s sad, the sw is very good.

I do wish they'd been clearer about the issues created for mod and accessibility tools and I wish any of the articles would note the 'misrepresentation' of the conversation with the Apollo developer

The big jump in interest rates is forcing all of big tech to pivot pretty hard.

Same here.
I’m also using forums again more broadly.

Yeah, the big spike in interest rates is causing all the big tech players to make the pivot to enshittified profitability fast enough that it’s way more visible than usual.

Like, these aren't new problems - anyone who uses Reddit much knows these issues have existed and have been talked about forever
It's so gross to hear that Reddit admins "weren't fully aware" of these issues, they're either lying or revealing that they truly do not give a hoot,

But right now it’s bringing eyeballs to see the spectacle. To be effective these need to persist long past the point where it isn’t “fun” anymore.

Spez likely is looking at this and seeing:

1. He can make mods jump by threatening to move ownership of the subreddit
2. Numbers are up as people engage with this fad
3. Once users tire of this he can trot out the same threats and take over the subreddits anyway

Edit: just to make it clear I’m not saying I think this is fine for Reddit long term. I’ve just had this conversation with too many MBAs to not know this is how they’d look at all of this.

Same here, WWN and SWN are the top systems I want to mess around with.

I remember trying to explain to some kids in my homeroom about how "you can just search for any song you want and download it on altavista, you just need an em pee three player" and getting made fun of because only a "loser nerd would ever listen to music on their computer".

Now look at me, decades later, posting about it on kbin.

Could just aggregate at the instance level.

The instance is going to have full visibility into your actions anyway, but federated instances already have to have some trust that other instances aren’t submitting fakes (since they could just as easily fake accounts too).

there's c/rpgmemes

I really wish they’d bring back a true classic ui option
