If it’s older than android 12 it might be safe. I’m still riding a 9.

Reddit wants to sell its user made content to AI companies to train on.

Though most of it is bots now so I don’t see that working out for them.

The common person is not tech literate enough for that.

On my end, I would love to do that but 1 ram is 10 billion dollars and I was a fool who didn’t upgrade to 32g when I could.

From the wiki description it has ammonia in it though??

Yes. I’m chronically ill with a lot of issues. I’d go down to Maelstrom’s territory at night alone and wiggle seductively. “Oh no, please don’t force chrome on me Mr. Maelstrom guy.”

Realistically, I have ADHD so having a neural interface to make sure I didn’t forget shit would be so helpful. I wouldn’t trust most devices though. It’d have to be free of the possibility of being enshittified, so I’d only be comfortable with it if I controlled the software.

I was stuck on dial up until 2015 when I moved. High speed internet opened so many possibilities. Just in time for ARK early access.

My dial up would disconnect every night at like 2AM so that wasn’t even an option. I’d leave it and come back to it stopped entirely and it wanted to restart the download entirely anytime there was an interruption.

Skyrim. I was forced to download Steam to play it. I was on dial up and had just explicitly purchased a single player game not dependent on the internet, and yet…

Then it forced me download the game through Steam even though I had the physical disk right there. I couldn’t complete the download, it was too large.

I have a shitty old hand me down microwave with a display that barely works that I know had to have been the cheapest model. It sets the popcorn button at like 1:20 and it’s always been great. I never assumed the popcorn button could be a lie…

That streamer who cheated on his wife. First time I’ve heard about him but I keep seeing people talk about it.

They mean US politic version

US politics is no longer about politics, but basic moral values. You can’t date someone who doesn’t share the same moral values as you.

Need for Speed 2.

Tried running a decent Qwen on a 3060 TI but I only have 16g ram so it kept getting stuck and not completing tasks.

Tribalism and anti-intellectualism. They care more that their “team” is winning, like some sort of football team.

Every news broadcast is compromised so they’d have to seek out real information themselves, but they “don’t have time” for that or understand information literacy at all and we aren’t allowed to teach it in schools.

My own mom is completely brainwashed. She will trust my opinion on everything except politics. She’s convinced Trump saved everyone from Iran nuking us and we will all die of we dare cut our military at all. She’s okay with early abortion, but thinks Colorado had people aborting full term babies. I send her articles and she refuses to read them because she’s “too tired”. I try to talk to her and she calls everyone I support a communist. She’s the least bad out of the rest of my family, I’m not even on speaking terms with the rest because they just treat it like a football game and just want to “own the libs”.

Piefed through Connect on mobile. Voyager was throwing out of date errors since my phone is on a very old version of android.

I couldn’t either because I had undiagnosed ADHD.

Once I got the meds I was able to tolerate it. Try drinking coffee when you study to see if it helps.

Other than that I really limited my study time. I stopped for the day after two hours no matter what and kept it to one subject per day, and rewarded myself with something I wanted to do after.

Ooo thanks for the reminder!

I joined reddit in 2011 or 2012. Was quickly made a mod of a support subreddit for a medical condition I had. I filled up the sidebar with resources and posted every day trying to help people. Even sent money to people who couldn’t afford physical therapy.

I built up a mod team of wonderful people. We traveled to meet each other IRL a few times and even went to Washington D.C. together to advocate for more research funding for our condition.

We took over abandoned related subreddits and even created new ones where we saw a need.

All this to say I really put effort into bettering Reddit, building communities, and making it a cozy place with helpful resources.

The API shit happened. I never lost RiF because I just used the cracked versions of it, but what got me was how the Admins were threatening their mods. Up until this point the subreddit you built was yours. Entirely yours. You could do whatever you wanted on it because you’re the one who built it. Mods could run rampant and ban everyone and the admins wouldn’t do anything. It sucked when it happened to you, but that was the tradeoff of Reddit. At least your subreddit was yours. The admins that day showed that wasn’t true.

If the subreddit wasn’t yours then what was the point of doing all that effort? You were just an unpaid employee now.

I stepped back a bit but didn’t leave. My subreddit still needed me. I still had Rif working. But I stopped curating the sidebar and wiki.

Then Reddit allowed people to start hiding their post history and made decisions that caused my mod toolbox to stop working without replacing those tools natively on anything except their shitty app.

Without my tools I can’t moderate efficiently so I stopped. Without seeing post history I refused to rely to people. Bots destroyed a subreddit I enjoyed despite like 50 reports from me alone. So I stopped going on Reddit. Only one mod remains active of our subreddit and she’s on the verge of quitting too.

I’m focused on here, bluesky, and discord now. I still have to use Reddit for a niche gaming community but I just lurk now, and only go maybe once a week versus how I used to post 20 times a day.
