Strange, I had all of my accounts banned but my spouses weren't. Same wifi. Appeal process was over 48h later and I was unbanned. If they were doing that, it seems any account that ever used Tor or a VPN would be banned.

Maybe they saw your "it was my neighbor on my wifi, I swear!" and reflex-nuked.

Also, mods don't suspend accounts, employees do. From user reports. Then admins reinstate or don't.

I wouldn't put it past them to auto-nuke any appeal with the word neighbor, though. That's the "my dog ate my homework" equivalent of trying to get out of a warranted ban.

I deleted my account and my 3rd party app and I found myself reflexively tapping the now-empty spot on my home screen 5-10 times yesterday. Today I haven't and only went to the mobile site a couple times to see what's going on with the state of things, but left as soon as the first "Oops, this /r/AskReddit text-only post is NSFW, open in the app!" message came up.

I have however visited HN and kbin 5-10x more today.

You have to wonder what those mods get out of it, considering they're doing what essentially amounts to a nearly full-time job for free.

There's an unconfirmed but strong possibility that Ghislaine Maxwell was one of the largest power mods on Reddit. https://kirbysommers.substack.com/p/evidence-that-reddit-use...

Exact same boat here.

Nostro or Nostr? I've heard of Nostr but can't find anything on Nostro.
CommitSyn··on Ask HN: Anyone else Bitwarden account being attacked
PITM?

What type of vulnerability could the web interface have that the offline password file wouldn't? Unless they have a backdoor. The speed difference would also be tens or millions of times faster.

CommitSyn··on California child prodigy accepts software engineering job at SpaceX
Poor kid. I can't imagine he'll be able to make actual friends with his adult coworkers. I suppose he can play with friends after work though.
CommitSyn··on Why Dying People Often Experience a Burst of Lucidity
I just had a question that I'm not sure we know enough to answer, but is it possible that terminal lucidity is the brain understanding that it's dying, and stopping the allocations that prevent trouble with the body, but cause conditions like dementia?

It made me wonder since the brain and body are constantly making adjustments when things go wrong, and one (possible?) cause of Alzheimer's is a buildup of plaque. Is it possible dementia is the lesser of two evils, with the other evil being death?

What additional vectors?

If they already had the data, would they be using the web account login page?

CommitSyn··on Removing support for forwarded ports
Perfect-Privacy allows port forwarding as well. Also multihop (up to 4 I believe).
CommitSyn··on PyPI new user and new project registrations temporarily suspended
As long as devs could be identified properly (ID selfie + ID closeup + small payment with card in same name) and students do the same with a smaller amount, I think that could work. Refund of protection deposit when you close your account. System of honor based on account age. The problem is it's incredibly hard to properly ID people. If fraudsters can get an ID+card they can make a convincing fake selfie ID photo from social media pictures. Plus accounts can just be stolen.

Certainly not as quickly as a traditional saw, but I think noise level is the more important factor. They do have extensions for cutting through metal (steel) like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Starlock-Oscillating-Multi-Tool...

Are you a bot, or did we just happen to say almost exactly the same thing within seconds of each other?

You're being downvoted for being needlessly pedantic while adding nothing to the conversation. This is not reddit. Things work a bit differently around here, so lurking before posting is suggested.

When a type of object is ubiquitous enough and has the ability to serve multiple purposes, even those it wasn't specifically designed for, it will inevitability be used for those purposes.
