Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit?
No, I won't return.
This whole episode taught me the importance of diversifying the online communities/platforms that I use, and how NOT to rely on a single platform controlled by a for-profit entity.
From now on, it's communities based on open platforms first for me, and proprietary ones the distance second and only if I really can't avoid it.

What operating system do you use on your main computer?
Linux full-time on all of my machines since 2007 (various distros over the years, of course).

How are you going to avoid using reddit?
Easy, I just deleted my 10+ years Reddit account.
No regrets, and am now having fun exploring the fediverse.

How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
I use it daily, to connect my phone to my car AUX input and my various (very expensive) headphones.

Programmers using Spring (Java) professionally, how did you learn it?
If you want a book that does a really good job of explaining the basics and laying the foundation of Spring from the ground up, then I recommend Spring Start Here. It's the book I wish I had when I started working on Spring (Boot) projects all those years ago.

Wow, that's really neat.
Thanks for letting me know about MetaFilter and its transition to NPO. This really seems like a great move for the site.
I've heard of the site before, but haven't had the chance to try it before. Guess a bit late is better than never, right? :D

What distro(s) do you use?
Debian with KDE for my trusty X230 ThinkPad and Kubuntu for my desktop (mostly due to more up-to-date drivers for my gaming needs).
