Nearly agree with everything you said.

But maybe Reddit is okay with a few 3rd party apps surviving if it means they can charge such a ridiculous premium on API requests. Perhaps they didn't think any dev would be crazy enough to take them up on their offer. But at that point, they're raking in so much money that they might not care those users are on a 3rd party app.

I remember the art of crafting the perfect google search query and knowing you'd eventually find that obscure bit of info. Now I have to quote nearly everything in my query and if a single result in the first 100 results is tangentially related, I'm grateful.

OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub (futurism.com)

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey.

Just saw what the AP reported:

The Navy went back and analyzed its acoustic data after the Titan submersible was reported missing Sunday. That anomaly was ‘consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,’ according to the senior Navy official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive acoustic detection system. The Navy passed on the information to the Coast Guard, which continued its search.

Seems like a more accurate analysis.

They've come about and mainly just ended up as right wing hellscapes. Critical mass / the network effect are not to be underestimated.

Around the 1 minute mark, he does mention that they keep spares onboard.

The article states that they've been lost before, but that they still had contact with the surface. Sounds like this is the first time comms has been lost.

Or alternatively, the small minority of mean Reddit users ballooned.

Now if we can just serve ads to the AI, we can get rid of those pesky users.

Damn. You were pretty reasonable. Didn't even invert the colors on every page.

@Dienervent is so ahead of the times, they were using kbin before it was created.

It stung a bit. But after watching the video, I finally deleted my 15 year old account.

Hey, once again, I welcome the newcomers. It's great to see new faces here :) It seems that we've managed to resolve the server issue. Unfortunately, I had to temporarily disable certain features, such as content auto-refresh. It will be restored at the beginning of next week after the infrastructure change, so you'll get to...

Not right now, but you can "install" the web app so that it functions similarly. Just search for something like "install progressive web app on <platform>".
