Bryan Lunduke is just another right winger who’s butthurt that Mozilla spends any of their money advocating for liberal values. Meanwhile the massive amounts of corporate cash that get funneled into conservative ‘think’ tanks (oxymoron much?) and superpacs apparently isn’t a problem for him. While I acknowledge he does raise some valid points about Mozilla’s over dependence on Google revenue, nearly all large corporations try to peddle influence with political parties and donate to social/charitable causes, so there’s nothing unusual about that at all. If they were a more right wing organization, this article would never have been written by him, that’s obvious takeaway here - it’s just a stock standard conservative hit job.

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one.

I'm not sure I agree with the premise that gamification is bad. Many people need a push to do things that improve their lives.

The Fitbit example is one that jumps out in that it is there to motivate people into exercise. While I personally don't respond to comparisons to others, I do respond to data where I can compare my results and recognize that my watch telling me I did a good job feels good about the exercise I just did.

Kahn Academy is gamification of a form of education. Earning points for learning many subjects.

I think there is merit to the argument that Duolingo went a bit overboard with trying to guilt you into continuing, but I don't think it can reasonably be argued that trying to motivate people into language study is bad.

I think mentally, the author is probably just one of those like myself that doesn't respond well to gamification overall but the majority of people definitely do and it can help in self improvement.

That said, I totally agree about a gamified workplace. That strikes me as a slippery slope to an unhealthy relationship with work.

Listen, there are so many legitimate criticisms of Reddit, no one needs to make things up. This happens every year in June. Somebody posts about Tiananmen, some automod or real mod removes it, someone screams "Reddit" is censoring things.

There are tons of posts about Tiananmen that are still up after years. Tencent owns a small minority stake in Reddit.
