Reddit's long-term downhill has long-started, API changes was part of the beginning and now, it continues. If Reddit goes public, the need to please investors, VCs and so on will make it even less ignorant to what the users wants.
It has never been a better time to switch to Kbin or the fediverse in general.
Hello, these types are question are not allowed here, and m/AskKbin is not mean't for this. Please review the community description and avoid repeating this in the future. Thank you.
This update introduces the ability to request the takeover of abandoned magazines. The karab.in instance has been updated to the latest version of the code, which prepares for the kbin.social update after some tests....
Ive spent the last week in shock at the lack of moderation because magazines and federated stuff is only moderated by @ernest who I know is busy with development. But the magazines that are on kbin.social and were setup as "Template" magazines are getting trashed either with spam/porn or toxic comments that were reported long...
WORLD DOMINATION FOR SURE, and 1 million? nahh, a billion dollars, my main goal is to get up there with Elon, Jeff and Mark, and then buy Kbin, erase that X website with Kbin and the fediverse while absolutely destroying Reddit.
A solid plan isn't it? I'm cooking here bro, it's being made. I'll tell you that.
I wish I can leave half of the communities I created here on kbin actually, and on Reddit, the reason I have so many (and you would notice how a lot of communities are related to motorsports, cars, racing in some way or the other) is because I love racing, it's a career I want to pursue soon for sure, thats why so many subreddits I have is related to cars or motorsports in general, and I really wanted to see a lot of them grow on Reddit but not anymore after seeing what Reddit is capable of doing, I don't want to be there anymore (F spez). So my reddit account is somewhat abandoned since then, I do peek at it occasionally, but my focus has shifted here.
Other than that I see modding as a hobby, I really love to do it a lot, and even better with kbin, it's really satisfying to help it in ways I can for it to grow, as I've really come to hate the corporate Reddit of today.
Also @okbuddyretard, I love your profile picture for some reason man, even if I am a straight guy, I didn't expect to see that when clicking this thread.
No worries! I totally get you, I have indeed come across some very disrespectful and power hungry mods on Reddit, I do hope those people don't come here, or atleast change their attitude towards moderation!
Hey! I am the mod here at AskKbin, please redirect to the KbinMeta community for support/help related questions as that is not the intended purpose for AskKbin as clearly mentioned in the community description and rules!
Wow that is interesting. If I am understanding this right, was minidisc called that way because it was smaller than a traditional CD? Or what is just a different format? What really was it's benefits back then over conventional CDs?
Wow that sounds really good, sad how even CDs no longer enjoy the popularity they once had, everything has become more digital and for physical stuff you have USBs now.
Laptops, cars, and etc have also slowly stopped allowing CD inputs. They don't even have that option any more these days.
Although, there is one area where CDs are used a lot till date, consoles, Xbox and PlayStation especially, I am surprised even the new generations have that.
If possible, can you guys or anyone with a good image of it, even better if it's beside a CD, share the link through Imgur or something? I can't really find a good image on Google, I am super intrigued by this, never heard of it actually.
Yeah that's certainly a good one, I am still wary of VR, due to how close it is to your eyes.
I am more hopeful about AR though because you are not locked into a virtual world and that extremely close screen to your eyes, it's basically like see through glasses with computer, hence I am guessing it might be better for your eyes than pure VR?
Cost is going to be an issue for a good while though, and I still don't think they will ever replace or be as big as phones, as some believe it could be, the portability is just unbeatable with smartphones (flip phones making that aspect even better), although maybe AR can compete with computers more?
I'm personally skeptical but a very interesting and futuristic sci-fi tech for sure.
Crypto? Flopped? Damn, there is still a crowd that hardcore loves crypto, I always felt it to be too scammy by nature though.
Segway, I am surprised, why? I have a few friends that have segway and sure it's not as popular as bicycles but it seems like one of those cool new personal transportation, and I thought they are rather a new product, guessing I am wrong here?
OMG I LOVE 3D TV, especially those glasses they gave you in cinemas, gosh...
Metaverse.....Yeah, that's just BS in my opinion, make something even worse than social media and make people get stuck in those virtual worlds, disconnecting them from the real world, I really don't think metaverse is healthy, yes social media isn't either, but that is, just another extreme in my opinion.
The Genome project is very interesting for sure, and wow, I am learning a lot of knowledge from others here on this thread because there are some stuff that I had no idea existed before.
I think regardless of market, the main issue is cost, yes you can push it to businesses, but would they really make a costly purchase? I feel like consumer market would actually offer better long-term opportunity.
The thing we need is a good OS and we need it to be AR and not VR, staying connected with reality, bringing reality and technology together in-front of your eyes.
Apple AR is way too expensive, but I am not surprised about that coming from Apple, I wish they cut some more corners to get the price down, but I am sure there is a more affordable and attainable one coming down the line.
Finding use for it will be the hardest, because as of now, all I see AR doing is trying to do what computers or smartphones do just in a different way, and they haven't been as successful in that as they have to be better if AR is really trying to get success here.
This is true, a lot of people, especially some people from older generations like to talk shit about the internet and modern age (not just social media), and it's effects on us which can be bad but that also depends on the person, with good moderation, internet really is a dream come true isn't it? And we are living it.
Something we shouldn't take for granted for sure in a way.
I do understand where you are coming from, and I really hate to sound like that guy who wants the other to do the work for him, but unfortunately a few others (and I think I myself have done a not so great job at conveying what I am really trying to say here) have done a great job at making me sound like that.
What I am just saying is that it is unrealistic to expect that from the majority of the public customers from doing that if there is not enough cart corrals, this is bound to happen until stores take action to make cart returns a must, and add more cart return points in the parking lot for customers with cars.
Again I don't really oppose this, I support this in-fact, I am only saying that we have to address this issue in a way where we are not JUST blaming the people doing this (excluding those who do this despite having a nearby cart corral), we also need to consider the lack of cart corrals issue that some stores have realistically.
Other than that, I really don't want to be that guy who is irresponsible and lets the other guy do the work for him, but if I go do physical grocery shopping on a very busy day with moving cars in the parking lot, asking me to travel to the other side of the parking lot to return a cart seems a little bit unreasonable, and that's if the store is one of those that lack cart return points.
But if there is one near me or even in the next row or after that, I am more than happy to walk there and return the cart, really, I am just talking about stores that have barely cart carrols, and if they do, it's like, on the whole other side of the parking lot, you are basically walking back and forth from one side of the building to the other.
Sigh, I live near Tampa, I don't live there, not in the main city/area (outer part near to Tampa for added context. I don't think Ill give my exact location here though.
That is surely good for sure, I am not against that in any way, but there are some young adults who are locked with porn which really is fictional and taped, and they can often be bad at real relationships, especially if they get extremely addicted to porn, using porn to help with you sex life is great, but it shouldn't get to a point where it's doing you no good with real relationships. Hope I am making some sense here lol
