Didn’t he tour with Mastodon?
I don’t see anywhere that you can’t also just buy a battery and charge it yourself if you’d prefer that over a subscription.
Sort of like how you pay over and over for gas, without which your car doesn’t work?
Everyone I’ve spoken to about it has noted that it’s become a very different place. I’ll still use it for reviews and getting tips for serious things like privacy and some basic DIY. But a lot of that advice will be obsolete in a couple years and very few people are replenishing it. Who’s going to give a shit about the best home theater setups of 2023 in two years?
For example, I’m personally of the opinion that instances should be allowed to federate until they prove themselves to be bad actors, but in Meta’s case there’s a lot of existing evidence that shows they shouldn’t be allowed to federate in the first instance.
Monopolies for modern necessities (the internet and phone) don’t have to worry about customer retention.
Is “you’re the passenger, you do it, please,” an acceptable response?

They’re almost definitely trained using an archive, likely taken before they announced the whole API thing. It would be weird if they didn’t have backups going back a year.
You absolutely can refute it. Just ask for proof.
It’s G-14 classified.
A hypothesis is “I think x is true” or “x will happen if I do y.” It is a conclusory statement based on existing knowledge that then has to be proven and is one of the first things you learn to do in science. Asking “what happened to x” or “what is x” is not a hypothesis, it’s an open-ended inquiry. While both are useful, the hypothesis is specifically part of the scientific method. You’re proving or disproving smaller conclusions to answer a broader open-ended inquiry.
It is, there’s a lot of highly specific knowledge on Reddit. It’s still a resource.
Did they? I had one of the top non-porn accounts actually run by a person (most high karma accounts use bots, I didn’t out of ironic laziness) and I haven’t posted or commented since whenever Day 0 was for rif is fun. I’ve been back a couple times for very specific things but not logged in or participating in any active way. Of course, I’m just one (high karma) data point, but I really don’t think I’m unique in this. I also have no real desire to contribute to Reddit again in the future. Getting off of it has been pretty nice.
Look, it’s not that people aren’t still posting, the site obviously still has content, but it really is just “content.” The quality of discussion I’ve seen has gone down pretty steep. Modding appears to be almost nonexistent in big subs or very agenda-driven otherwise. I think a lot of contributors who treated Reddit like old school forums have left and it’s slowly turning into a weird combo of Facebook and 4chan if that makes sense. If that’s what the userbase wants, go for it, I guess. But that’s not my jam.
It’s traditionally conservative but more frequently has been endorseing candidates left of center since the right wing is batshit. They overall supported Obama, but frankly Obama is about as centrist as they come. There was a very long stint in the 00s and 10s where they would publish more conservative, hawkish pieces over any news to the contrary.
Small correction, most people have Thursday off. They have to take leave if they want Wednesday and Friday as well.
Not a TV show specifically, but Ai Weiwei’s gallery exhibition in London was canceled due to a tweet he posted regarding the Hamas attack and Israel. Whatever you feel about their specific comments or circumstances, several individuals and events have been affected due to an actual or perceived pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel message.

Turns out a lot of very reasonable people actually did leave Reddit over the summer and now the trolls and crazies have an amplified voice.
She was a journalist who used the Panama Papers to expose high level corruption in Malta. Galizia did not break the Panama Papers story, she’s impressive enough without people making stuff up about her.
