The store I managed had a suspend/recall. Cart full of groceries only to realize you left your wallet (at home, in the car, whatever) suspend the transaction and print a slip with a barcode on it. Move the cart out of the way and take the next customer. The customer comes back and scans the slip at any register to recall the transaction, pay and collect their cart and leave without having to hold up lines/etc... Was a nice convenience many appreciated.

Turns out many people just don't care that much, or get value out of using a social networking app/site.

That's where the people are. A message can get spread much wider, and quicker due to retweets/re-shares.

just to muddy the waters a bit, I recently moved my personal domain to use iCloud as the mail provider, so you wouldn't see @me.com/@iCloud.com, but just my domain.

This thread talking about twitter effectively DDoSing itself, for start...

Well, they haven't paid their GCP bill... https://theconversation.com/twitter-is-refusing-to-pay-googl...

A more apt comparison, would be telling a muslim vendor they can refuse to sell their halal items to christians.

Some of us also like not having to check every lamp and decoration in a bedroom/bathroom wondering if there's hidden cameras in it placed there by the "host"

Today in "Free Speech Absolutist"

USPS limits $20 'per occasion' and not more than $50 per calendar year. Many departments will just outright say nothing at all, or impose very strict requirements on reporting, or displaying/sharing publicly.

I chuckled. Thanks :)

Is it just me, or are all the pics in the article the same picture?

Alternately, you can demand the terms of your contract instead of letting one of the richest people in the world not pay what's owed.

Regarding 1: I don't believe the company saying this at all.

My $DayJob has been running Reddit Ads campaigns for the last couple months. Starting Monday we saw a ~60% drop in impressions. They have not come back up yet, they've continued to decline all week.

It's also important to remember they didn't just 'build an app for phones'

They bought AlienBlue - a 3rd party app, that they now claim shouldn't now exist, and should never have existed.

In the rest of the interview, spez goes on about how subreddits should be democratized, and be able to vote for/vote out mods. Perhaps he should take his concept further, and let the community vote for/vote out him and his ideas.

Or just require a Reddit Gold sub to any user who wants to use another app.

I think this is one of the big reasons TikTok has a completely separate app for creators (CapCut)

It allows them to continue to add creation features and a creators experience, without bogging down the main app consumers are using to mindlessly scroll while pooping.

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons Reddit doesn't take action against spammers and repost bots that take popular posts and comments from <time> ago and report them verbatim later and get thousands and thousands of upvotes.

Nice way to fake content creation long enough to shove your IPO out the door and exit before the house of cards starts falling apart.

They could also just require a user to have a Reddit Gold membership - which already doesn't show ads anywhere.

They made promises they are not getting rid of it.

Then again, earlier this year they also promised the Apollo dev there would be no changes to the API this year, or even in the next few years...

It's pretty telling that Reddit hasn't backed their claims up in this way.

I've had a Reddit subscription for mulitple years, and spent more than I care to admit buying coins to guild/gift posts and comments. I also paid for Apollo.

I deleted my account this week, being a monetizable person who is quite bothered.

I'm sure that will go over just swimmingly...

Or say negative things about Erdogan right before an election...

They don't want to continue to have to pay residuals

unfortunately NIMBY's gonna NIMBY. There's currently a petition going around to block BRT because it would take away... a lane of parking and "ruin small businesses."

Another reason for slow progress in Seattle, as I understand, is funding delays - segments can't begin until certain funds have matured at certain specified years.

Good. Just let it happen already.

It's really rather disgusting seeing so many people here being so dedicated to sealion racist garbage.
