This is the second comment I see mentioning Upscrolled, and the first I see mentioning Cara. Up until like two minutes ago, I have not heard about either of those, and I think I don't want to hear about them anyway. I haven't been using TikTok or Instagram anyway, so I don't really need a replacement for those apps.

Yeah, it's just like with cookies. Sure, even without an Adblocker and all that, you could disable the cookies, but that means pressing several more buttons to disable all of the things. So, I feel like most people unfortunately just press accept and move on because it's the quickest way to get to the information they were searching for.

Honestly, even if time travel were theoretically possible to be invented, there's also a high chance that we're just going to destroy ourselves before we get to that point anyway.

I feel like this will end up being a cycle. The AI companies are pushing for AI summaries, which then leads to younger Gen Z and the new Gen Alpha being familiar with and preferring AI summaries. This, in turn, leads to other companies implementing AI summaries because they see that's what the new generations are using, which leads to the new generations being even more accustomed to those summaries, which leads to more companies implementing them, and it's just an endless cycle.

Not sure how to make sense of the first one, but as for the second one, it seems like they forgot to type a word. Add "on" right before "Valve's handheld", and that sentence makes sense now.

I'm probably applying too much logic here which Reddit admins don't seem to like, but... how can defending oneself if something happens (not even preemptively, but after the fact) be threatening violence, while Trump repeatedly saying they're gonna own Greenland one way or another is not threatening violence?

Donating is great, sure, and they're probably more likely to stick around if they paid, but just because someone isn't donating doesn't mean they won't be active in the comments or by making posts. Not to mention they might spread the word to friends, some of whom might donate.

Woah, I haven't heard about this. Are those temp bans on specific subreddits or a site-wide ban for not being pro-Trump?

I don't often read books and I checked this thread just out of curiosity cause it popped up. I have heard of Watership Down, though, and now knowing the audiobook is by Peter Capaldi, I now know how I want to experience this book if I ever get around to it: the audiobook!

That is something I never understood about Christianity: Why would God place equal importance to "being a good person" and "believe in me or else"?

To me it seems like being a good person should be way more important. But in practice it seems like believing in God is the key and everything else is secondary, like you can be an asshole but just make sure you're a believer.

"That was a typo, we meant it's gonna be the last Windows you'll ever want, not need" -Microsoft probably.
