/r/place going full-on French Revolution now
The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard squares or circles of random color over that part. Here are some screenshots I took only seconds apart.

If you spend time watching /r/place you see that pictures mostly form in a natural, progressive way. This is the only place you see hundreds of pixels being changed uniformly all at once. Even bots would be making more gradual changes than this. It's clearly someone who has a brush tool for censoring.

Alternative to RARBG
Rarbg going away was what finally got me to learn how to use qBittorent's built in search engine which has solved my issues and made it effortless to find torrents without going to sketchy websites.
Go to the search section and add custom search engines and fill in all the good sites from this list:

I just spent 20 minutes writing out a response to a thread in the reddit app, just about to hit submit and it crashes
Make sure to leave a bad review in the app store and then uninstall it.

What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch?
For the most detailed exercise/health tracking, I'd highly recommend Garmin watches. First, no subscription fees, you buy the hardware and you own it and can customize it a lot. Second, the battery life can't be beat. Third, stats, graphs, analytics! Plus it works just as well whether you're an apple or android user.
I have the Forerunner 265 and it is so much fun for a stats and graph loving nerd like myself. My gf chose the Venu 2 Sq because she wanted a square screen and she is really happy with it.

lol yes there's a whole underground imgur social network full of users unaware that imgur was originally just an image hosting website for reddit. By default the images I uploaded were private but I decided to click the button to make them a public post just out of curiousity of what imgur's opinion on the matter might be. Turns out it's not interesting for them.

The theory is that their July traffic numbers are probably down so they're boosting them with /r/place traffic so that the drop due to 3rd party apps doesn't look as bad to investors. Reddit probably sees the increased server costs as an investment to boost their IPO valuation.

it's honest work

R/place will increase their traffic no matter what. At least the picture can convey the protest message so they know we aren't going to move past it that easily. Plus, keeping r/place open all day is increasing their server costs while providing no ad revenue. I don't go to reddit other than to spread to good word of Lemmy and to downvote admins so I think that has more benefit to us than to them.

This is an audio prompt which you must listen to and then type. OP correctly typed the sentence but didn't know how the speaker prefers to spell their name and so it was marked incorrect.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
I can never let go of my $7.99/mo grandfathered plan from Google music which is now YouTube premium. That and Spotify are the only subscriptions I can justify now.

Ecuador confirms oil spill of 1,200 barrels on northwest coast
Reply in thread
I used to work in the oilfield and my reaction was also, oh, only 1200 bbls? That amount is pretty small in terms of the spills we saw or heard about locally regularly, however that was in the middle of North Dakota and this is on a beach and ocean marine life which makes this so much worse.

Here is the official tutorial: https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Install-search-plugins#steps-to-install-search-plugins-qbittorrent-version-3110-or-more-recent
In qBitorrent go to Search Plugins in the bottom right, then Install a New One. You'll go to that website link I posted and find a torrent site that has lots of content you like, like 1337, and click the little download icon off to the right of it in that table. That will open a tab with some computer code looking stuff. Copy this URL of the website and in qBittorent, in the Install a New One window, select web link and paste the link to the search engine plugin you chose. I did this for the top 10 or so most relevant looking websites for me in terms of language, content type, etc.
Now when I need a torrent I just go to my search plugin section of the program and type in the search terms I would normally use on Rarbg, and I find the movie I'm looking for.
Here is a YouTube video I found talking about the process:
