I guess if you download something claiming to be Safari on a third party app store, you get what you deserve??

How else does third party app support lead to a Safari security hole?

So they're obligated to check, hmm... so if someone were to, say, call them 10000 times about 10000 different locations...

Tinder Now Letting Rizzless Sad Sacks Pay $500/Month to Message People Without Even Matching (futurism.com)

If you get a message from someone you never matched with on Tinder, it’s not a glitch — it’s part of the app’s expensive new subscription plan that it teased earlier this year, which allows “power users” to send unsolicited messages to non-matches for the small fee of $499 per month....

Next step: Charging you money if you DON'T want to hear from someone you haven't matched with.

That would finish off Twitter instantly.

He's not THAT dumb. Right guys?

....right??

As a kid I always thought it was weird that they named an action movie after a brand of car battery

There's been an awful lot of final rate hikes

In case it hasn't been suggested before, it might be a good idea to give users the ability to block a whole instance, rather than one magazine at a time

It's going to be a very interesting day when someone misconfigures a dns router or something and half the world goes down.

Since someone answered my question with a direct message (hahah), I'll share it here. If you click on the person's name, there's a "send message" link.

On a desktop browser this is on the right sidebar under their profile pic (if they have one). On mobile, that same panel is almost at the bottom of the page.

I always felt "subreddit" was silly. I call them communities, even on reddit and that word works for me.

Actually, any new leader would likely leave Ukraine immediately. The war has been an overwhelming failure and embarrassment, and the new leader can blame the old leader for leading the country down that road.

Putin would leave too if he didn't think that admitting defeat would get him killed.

What he's been saying is that the Russian Ministry of Defense has been lying to Putin. So I'd say this is Wagner and Putin working together to manufacture a face-saving pretext to leave Ukraine.

Edit: I see this morning that Putin is denouncing Prigozhin so, maybe not!

Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?

I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started...

I think there's a loud, negative minority that WILL stay there, and it's going to become even more of the type of place that they like.

The real win is having a viable place that people can go instead of Reddit, to force Reddit to compete and improve itself in general. (or have a place people can go if Reddit ultimately shuts down)

To that end, I would stay right here, and then someday if Reddit improves enough, maybe consider using both.

Imagine watching Twitter circle the drain and thinking "I should make similar decisions"

Over just the last couple of days, kbin has gotten so much better, I honestly haven't even thought about checking that other site what's it called? r-something? Can't remember

Even if this were true, 3rd party moderator tools are going away as well, and that affects everyone. I've heard it said that it's basically impossible to moderate a big subreddit without 3rd party tools. If so, those communities will rot, and Reddit is unlikely to respond fast enough with improved tools.

The real migration will come later, and more gradually. This was really more of a good trial run.

"Together forever or die trying." That was Nora's promise to her wife, Joanna. The Followers of the Church of the White Lady are longing for the end of the world. They believe Joanna is the long awaited White Lady's Guide who will reveal where God sleeps. With Joannas strength and Noras powerful voice they have kept each other...

Tales From Alderwood (alderwood.the-comic.org)

Katherine is a confident young wizard living on the streets with a penchant for learning new spells. When she attempts a teleportation spell that is just a little too advanced for her, she accidentally finds herself flung into the house and employment of Hechoton Sinclair, the man who led Alderwood into an era of rapid...

It all comes down to whether or not the fediverse gets big enough to be a real threat to reddit. If so, reddit will suddenly become a lot more interested in improving their experience. I doubt they'll reverse course on the API, but we'll probably get some perfuse apologies and a real attempt to improve their app and website.

June 12th won't change their course. But I think there will be a much bigger mass migration starting on July 1, and that may be what starts to move the needle.
