He likely has security. And it wouldn't shock me one bit if he has a SS detail.
The fact that reddit continues to enshittify means that they are getting enough users to sign up and continue to use the site.
Reddit continues to be a top search result on Google and ddg for most questions.
Until people stop going to reddit, why would they stop enshittifying?
The sad thing is that corporations have more rights (quantitatively) than humans.
- Can offset tax liability through complex structures
- While they cannot vote, they can effectively hide their identity behind Super PACs
- Any criminal liability results in fines, never jail time for anyone in charge
- in fact, all corporate executives benefit from liability shield, so long as their actions can be tied back to benefit the company in any way
- Can own just about anything a human can own, with the added benefit that they belong to the company. Digital rights (e.g. books, movies, etc.) legally belong to an entity that cannot die.
So...if they do it anyway, they'll be punished, right?
The sad thing is that this is the perfect time to set up a progressive third party.
AOC and Bernie, maybe even Katie Porter for good measure. If they announced they were leaving the DNC to form a progressive party, I might even quit my job and join them.
And don't give me the "BuT tHeY wIlL sPliT tHe VoTe!" Bull shit.
The DNC is splitting the vote.
Ah thanks for the clarification. The slack part bit was at the end. It's too early in the morning.
I am sitting here trying desperately to understand this.
They got rid of an emoji. Specifically 🥄, which is a default emoji.
How?
It's on every computer and platform. Did they call slack? Tell them to remove the emoji? If they did, how did slack remove a fucking default emoji? Are they blocking the Unicode?
What the actual fuck.
Alert fatigue.
12ft.io did an OG AdBlock and told NYT that they'll disable the site for them if they paid up.
I've been in the IT field for almost 25 years and I still feel stupid about various things.
The point is to learn and grow. And then feel stupid again.
The best lessons I've learned about IT is that knowing where to start is the hardest thing. But with experience, you kind of get an idea of where things tend to go. But you need to have a level of background.
I'll give you a recent example for me: I recently got a new android phone and have been curious about MagSafe. I know nothing about it except that it was a magnetic plug for old MacBooks before they switched to USB C. I didn't quite understand how you can have a MagSafe pop socket that you can use to charge via Qi wireless charging.
Then...like an idiot, I realized that it's a fucking magnet. You just pull the pop socket off and charge the phone.
You don't know what you don't know until you do.
Any case, feel dumb. We all do. Learning is the best thing.
Yes.
