Different backgrounds will draw different conclusions. Being in the medical field and not ham radio (had to look up what you’ve mentioned) it would never have occurred to me.

I didn’t mean to offend. Nazi ideology can be like a virus and so is what I stated in my comment. A poorly made joke I guess.

Sounds like a virus. Herpes SimpleX? Have fun with that.

This is like when Dr Evil asks for $1 million dollars after being unfrozen. These courts need to get with the times.

Too much optimism and hype may lead to the premature use of technologies that are not ready for prime time.

Preach!

You get a gold star today. ⭐️

Understood and have seen the comments. I don’t blame you for being upset. It’s a crappy situation.

Damnit! I still like and respect the Ars Technica staff but Condé Nast can piss off.

I feel for you KingThrillgore. I was thinking of supporting the site with a subscription but not after this. Still if enough people stop subscribing we may loose them altogether. This is a double edged shit sword.

This is atrocious. Coincidentally Disney is planing to open a park themed with villains. Seems like they can save time and money by renaming the whole place Villain’s World.

I’ve been a few times in my younger years but have zero desire as an adult. Sure they have some nice rides and attractions but the Disney culture is a huge turnoff to me, as are the very high prices of everything there. If I were to take a vacation that costs similar I’m off to a national park or maybe international travel. I prefer real culture over fantasy land.

The Lounge is where you were given access. That subreddit was ok on its own but really it was a good place to hang out, be friendly and helpful which sometimes resulted in being invited to other private sections of Reddit.

Some of those private subs have a true sense of community who are truly kind, respect each other and fun to interact with. Before the awards went away there were many games with prizes and multi-day parties with lots of engagement and fun. Not anything like the regular Reddit.

Those places still exist but activity has declined since most third party apps and the awards/coin system were taken away. That decision not only damaged the public Reddit subs but also the private ones.

The target is to release by September 1st.

That’s a good one, thanks!

No video here from what I see but if you follow the link there’s a video right above the article.

The proclamations they make are all to get their way and not about religion at all. These people grab at anything to pass laws they want.

Alabama claims destroying embryos is against God’s will yet not long ago they executed a prisoner using nitrogen gas which caused that person to suffer for several minutes before dying. The state claims it was a success. If they were so concerned with God’s will they shouldn’t have done that.

Scientific discovery, cars and antibiotics are not against Christian beliefs but I’m sure if a person singles out a single passage, then twist and spin it you could make life itself blasphemous.

These government folks passing crap laws are just using anything they can to get their way, similar to how children behave.

Woosta! :)

I’m a very light user but so far so good. My usage has been mostly browsing photos.

The official app is nice. It’s Instagram like in layout and works well for my uses.

I prefer a third-party app called Vernissage because photos are the main feature. You don’t see any titles, descriptions, votes, comments unless you tap into the photo. My one dislike is how the feed updates.

When you open the app and new photos are ready you’ll see a number in the top right but nothing new is displayed. In order to see new posts you need to pull down to refresh. This takes you to the top and then allows you to scroll down until you see the “You’re all caught up” notice. To me it would be nice for the new posts to load automatically. Not a huge deal but something I think about while using it.

A very nice write-up. Thanks for sharing your insights! You’re right, these new platforms need time and experience to grow and thrive.

For how new some of these platforms are I think things are going well, recent dramas included.

In that case, nice choice!

Your theme looks great! Nice design chrisbit.

Is he saying we should all X communicate?
