Yup, there is/was a thing where stores wouldn't let cashiers sit down because, according to customer service logic (and the opinions of a few extremely opinionated customers), it looks "lazy".

Your point is that people who left a platform because it made decisions they disagreed with don't like it anymore? Shocking

Reddit is still the best place to go for a lot of niche communities you can't really find anywhere else. That doesn't change the fact that it has a lot of issues that stem from both the community culture there and the C-suite execs calling the shots, making it worse at every turn in pursuit of profit.

You'll find I have similar opinions of most large social media companies. I just don't talk about them as much because they were never appealing to me in the first place. Reddit had its problems dating wayy back but I enjoyed it for what it offered. You gotta draw the line somewhere, and I drew mine at the API shenanigans

The issue then would be migrating all of your existing server to an offline server auth method. If there's anyone who doesn't log in during the migration period, anyone else could nab their account name (and presumably everything that account has on it) once it's fully swapped over.

Plus, if the server remains popular after this, Microsoft lawyers could pursue legal action on the operation to bypass their auth servers as well

Reddit should be hated and not tolerated tho??

I mean isn't that so you know when it needs to be reloaded by the feedback feeling different?

I had someone essentially accuse me of purity testing and doing "leftist infighting" for calling this shit out ("guy I don't like = cocksucker"). Like uh sure there's bigger problems we have to worry about right now but that doesn't mean what you're doing is ok either. These guys claim to be such allies, but are practically allergic to a simple "hey please don't do that it's kind of bigoted even though it's attacking a bad person"

Who knew flickers on a cave wall could be so addictive

If the yolk directly touches the surface, the emulsifiers could potentially mess with things?

It is a weaponization of ambiguity on where to draw the line; sailing the Ship of Theseus all the way from one end of morality to another

It's not about getting rid of cars entirely. It's about prioritizing other modes of transport that are more efficient at moving people for 90% of daily trips they need to make.

Cars will still exist, they will just not be most people's first choice for going to/from places. Ideally they exist more as a tool for specific situations where needed, such as work that covers a broad/rural area and requires large/specialized tools.

The problem is that, for the property owning class, the unaffordability of homes is broadly a feature and not a bug.

Yeah it turns out having a politician who actually believes in popular things motivates people to go vote for them
