TheEntity,

This is not how it works. Google has its own copy, possibly a stale one. Nothing Reddit can do about it. As much as I'd love to blame it on Reddit (or Google for that matter), this is just a search engine working as intended.

TheEntity,

The accounts attracted to the sex-negative accounts.

TheEntity,

I never watched Youtube much until I started using Invidious. How about they make their experience non-shit first? Ads aside, it's just so much more pleasant to use a UI that doesn't lag nor try to bombard my attention span at every chance.

Reminder: Delete/Edit your Reddit Posts today before the API Shutdown!

As a PSA, remember that the API changes don't only impact third party apps & accessibility tools, but also your ability to bulk delete or modify your Reddit history. If you intend to delete or modify your previous Reddit posts, be sure to run a tool like Power Delete Suite today before the shut down....

TheEntity,

Considering my data dumps are still not here, and I requested them even before the blackouts, don't count on it.

TheEntity,

Sadly unlikely. People don't come to youtube because they like youtube. People come to youtube because the content they want is on youtube, and the content creators surely don't mind the ads, so that content will remain on youtube.

TheEntity,

I have a noob question. From a technical point of view, why does it matter to server A (beehaw) whether server B (world) federates with C (exploding nazis) or not? Since A is defederated from C, the content should be unavailable anyway. I completely get why a proper moderation of B itself is crucial, but what B federates with should be irrelevant if B itself stays "pure", right? Again, from a technical point of view, because otherwise willingly federating with nazis obviously strongly correlates with allowing nazis inside. To reiterate, how is A directly affected by what B federates with? Is it merely a matter of lobbying or is there some technicality I'm missing here?

TheEntity,

I do share the sentiment, was just wondering whether there is more to it. I presume the answer is "no" then. (and that's fine!)

TheEntity,

So basically when a heated debate between B and C happens, server A still sees one half of it. Is this correct? It makes lots of sense when you put it this way, thank you for the explanation.

TheEntity,

I didn't know this last part but then again I didn't question his credentials either. And even if I would, the correct thing would be to admit fault. It's okay to be wrong. It's not okay to stay wrong despite being corrected.

TheEntity,

You only ever own a license and possibly a medium, not the game. From the perspective of the law there is very little difference. Now, the terms of use of a particular DRM platform, this is a different matter.

TheEntity, (edited )

I agree with OP's title on the social side of the problem, not the technical one. If we allow them to destroy the Fediverse, then it was already lost to begin with. It's not a matter of technology, it's a matter of whether the key people are able to keep it out of the corporate control in the long run. If they can't, then it was all just a matter of time.

EDIT: I don't imply it's a particularly useful thought. It might help with coping though if it would ever happen. Let's enjoy it while it lasts and hope for the best!

YSK: Your phone camera's aspect ratio is 4:3; setting it to anything else crops your photos

Why YSK: I've been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I've asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.

TheEntity,

Why is it better than just using 4:3 at all times?

TheEntity,

The people that stay never knew they could have something better. It's like people that don't mind the ads, on Reddit or otherwise. If they never got exposed to the pre-ads Internet or to a good ad blocker, they don't even know they could complain about this experience.

TheEntity,

But you can poop only once every 3 days.

TheEntity,

Voting and marking as favourite is one and the same here.

TheEntity,

I have nothing to add, just marking I was here for this historical & hysterical moment.

Get "Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear" while you're at it too. To echo what @nttea said, while each Baldur's Gate is pretty great on its own, what makes it truly epic and memorable is going from a literal nobody to a godslayer in the span of the series. There are no level resets or character nerfs between the games (apart from you losing most of the equipment) like in most of the other similar series. Instead what rises are the stakes. Basically all BG2 quests are much closer to "slay this dragon, please" than "kill the rats in my basement", you're not a rookie anymore and the game treats you appropriately. Unlike in Mass Effect, it's not just the story that raises stakes, but your tactical options in the actual gameplay increase exponentially too, especially if you have a spellcasting character. Enjoy your adventure!
