Decent chance that post was written by AI as well. Or it was a marketing copywriter. Either way it wasn’t written by a normal human.

Usenet as daily driver works 99% of the time. Only use VPN/torrents for extremely new or very obscure shows. $5/month pays for unlimited Usenet and VPN.

When Hamachi became unusable I switched to Tailscale to connect my phone, my laptop, and all my local PCs together. It just works, flawlessly. There are more features they offer like Exit Nodes (proxy servers to force Internet traffic through another PC on your Tailscale Network) and sharing your tailnet nodes with another Tailscale user on a separate tailnet, but realistically I just use it like I used Hamachi - as a dead-easy VPN between all my personal devices.

I’m assuming 1172 is a count of donations to official mainstream servers. I have definitely contributed to my local server.

They only care about monetization. If they can achieve that easier with a new UI you know they’re going to do that. Old.reddit.com and the current www.reddit.com are both expendable if they can make more money without them. This is the new, publicly-traded corporation Reddit. Tradition be damned, they will make their money in whatever manner pays best.

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

Elon Musk has already taken the initiative…bless his heart.

uBlock Origin has kept their filters up-to-date for me. Still no ads, and no blocks from YouTube, since day 1. I did disable my other privacy extensions like Privacy Badger and Ghostery on YouTube to stay on their “good” side however.

And they were never heard from again.

Who views ads in Reddit? Except for all the shill posts, that is.

Won’t employers just adopt the same workaround that they’re using in Colorado, by posting a huge pay range and hiring all employees near the bottom?

I can’t even begin to imagine 20,000 people dying so quickly like that. Absolutely horrible…

Isn’t the Genie usually depicted as malicious, or at least mischievous? I would expect the Genie to grant the wish, knowing what a shitshow it would be.

What a tool.

Power Delete Suite has the option to save a local backup before nuking your posts/comments from orbit.
