It wasn’t compromised. If you can’t be tracked and cross referenced with all the other data that brokers have, your activities aren’t worth anything to reddit and they don’t care about that account.
Santa himself has been described as a “jolly old elf.”
I’m no lore expert, but it makes me wonder if the original Santa (human) passed the title to one of his former underlings. The Dread Pirate Roberts of the North Pole, perhaps.
Links that open natively in Sync (like news articles) are often riddled with ads. Is there any way for the Sync shell to open through a Firefox based browser, which includes native ad block?...
This isn’t about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That’s pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I’m also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion....
There are certain talking heads on TV that can only be explained by the theory that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. He gets people talking, even if it’s usually only about how bad he is.
Outrage media works. Sports commentary especially seems to depend on it.

In your case, I’m guessing lots of people have heard the horror stories of shitty, scammy repair techs in various fields (automobiles being one prominent example). The good ones have to deal with the occupational reputation driven by the worst of them.
For me, I don’t consider myself a real expert in any specific subject, but I’m adjacent to a number of financial areas. I try not to delve into the weeds of those internet discussions too often (like I said, not an ironclad expert), and even when I do, it’s only to address the most egregious errors. Money can be an emotional topic, and many of those opinions are based on the way people want the world to be rather than the way it is, so show up with facts and references and they tend to understand.
I almost bought myself a SCUF controller until I realized it’s all run through iCue. Even if they made the best hardware, the experience will suffer until they get some decent software.
OP did the right thing by using the linked headline, but that headline is incoherent.
It cost an extra $200m in expense due to impairment (it wasn’t worth as much as they originally put on the books, so they had to write it down).
The only revenue impact is a note that it didn’t sell as well as Hogwarts Legacy, which was released in the same quarter last year. The article conflates those two things into one for the headline, which is just wrong.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...
I for example, expect him to no longer require nutrition labels to be on packaged and canned foods. We're all just going to have to eat what we can and play it by portion sizes....
When you’ve already pissed on your customers, burned the house down, and shot the dog, the only people left using your software are clearly the die-hard masochists. Nothing left to lose.
My last boss was labeled “THE FINAL BOSS” in my contacts. When she’d call, I felt sheer disappointment and dread when Sephiroth’s theme, “One-Winged Angel” started playing.
The neighborhood suddenly became a popular spot about two years ago, apparently after a photo taken in a particular angle showing Mount Fuji in the background of a local convenience store, became a social media sensation.
