Yeah Ars has already called them out for being basically an ad company that cares only about shoving as many ads and paid content as they can in your face.

No not a honey pot. That's now how honey pots work.

Because someone in a position of authority at Amazon made the decision. I know people want to hear something enlightening or that even makes sense. That's not companies today work. It's always some absolute fucking brainless suite that storms in and demands these changes are made because they themselves, despite not knowing shit about anything, thinks its a good move (for very very stupid reasons).

And this isn't DRM. You gotta learn what that acronym means. This is just the way they scale their service. Has absolutely nothing with digital rights or copy protection.

Portables are at the bottom.

Reddit has hit rock bottom. I was banned from a sub because their bot crawled thru my history and found I "interacted" with subs they didn't like (subs like fauxmoi). I said the fit on this girl didn't do her justice and was shadow banned and my post locked because the sub apparently didn't allow criticism of any kind. And that's what Reddit is now. Subs with power hungry mods and admins, Reddit staff not even giving a fuck anymore, all of it makes the place such a ridiculous silo that if you say anything out of line in any sub, it's downvote and likely removal of content at this point.

All the tech savvy people left (obviously) so now its edgy jokes and dumb suggestions. Call them out, and boom, downvote mob coming in hot.

What a fall in such a short time.

No, the body is removed and replaced with a banner that says the user deleted this post. Only the headline survives because that can never be changed.

They didn’t “say” anything. Look at the screenshot. There’s no body, just the headline. So they literally went to that sub asking if there was an alternative.

All school programs are basically bought and paid for by big business. Adobe, MS, all control their bottom line this way. So of course they’ll only teach you MS Office and Photoshop.

That’s literally what’s left of Reddit these days. Literally. Just brutal how bad the API affected them and how Reddit doesn’t give two fucks. It’s just a cess pool of ignorance.

Yeah I stopped around the same time. But I didn’t know they were run by VK. That’s interesting.

Oh, so you’re familiar with the Bob Loblaw, Law Blog?
