The "graffiti" is funny, actually. They wrote АТБ which is a groceries chain in Ukraine, the equivalent of Russian Пятёрочка. That store is effectively renamed.

I'm sure that private (meaning small) jets can have valid use cases, it's the abuse by the rich that is the problem.

What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn't even using for months, was "phoning home" literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can't be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I'll take the nagging, thank you.

Max is like that player 001 from Squid Game, isn't he?

I suspect orange is dyslexic, too.

I think it's implied that the other muffin screams cause it's surprised by a talking muffin.

His haircut misses the pentagons though. Not regulation haircut.

As a european, fast food is just like a category of food, and more of an occasional treat for me. Normally, I just eat my own homemade food, which is even cheaper. So I guess I see it a little differently, and fast food is allowed to be not cheap if it's "good".

Hell yeah, gimme that cancer patty and those artery clogging fries, baby! But make the obesity water size "for kids".

Yes. And I think better make it obvious that votes aren't private, instead of people wrongly assuming that they are.

I still think it's just unfair. You can lookup votes and harass people only IF you know enough about computers. Anybody persistent enough to harass other people will put a little bit of work into being able to look up votes.

In addition, as we can see, this "semi-privacy" confuses a lot of people. Better that all users KNOW that their votes are visible, instead of them thinking they are private.

I was one of those people. But statistically, even the people who migrated from Reddit to here are not "normies". My "normie" friends (which is all of them 🥲) just kept on using Reddit and didn't notice anything. They weren't even using 3rd party apps.

Kinda same. I also have an Ubuntu homelab server, but I feel like I use my Steam Deck more often than I spend an occasional 3-day all-nighter to get something working on the server over SSH.

But my joke premise was obviously flawed anyway. We are supposed to be, but we clearly aren't.

And to address your point regarding votes being viewable only by admins, it's sort of pointless cause anybody can become an admin, just make your own instance. This just makes your statement to be "let only the more technically advanced people see the votes", which just makes it unfair.
