No, we need to just cut our losses with reddit altogether. Each year, it just gets more political and more authoritarian. Even if you find a good subreddit, its only a matter of time before it gets usurped by the usual powermods that each control 300+ subreddits and bans anyone who disagrees. The admins will never do anything about them since it's hundreds of people willing to perform free labor for them.

>On Feb. 9, The Daily Mail in the U.K. published a story detailing the harrowing detainment of 38-year-old Kate Scottow. Scottow, a resident of Hertfordshire, England, was handcuffed in front of her autistic ten-year-old daughter and breastfeeding 20-month-old son, brought into custody and held for seven hours in a single jail cell.

>What heinous action warranted such drastic measures? The crime of “misgendering,” or calling a transgender individual by their biologically determined set of pronouns instead of their preferred pronouns, precipitated Scottow’s arrest. Stephanie Hayden, a biological male who recently transitioned to identifying as female on social media, reported Scottow to the police.

If you would have tried to tell people 10 years ago that this actually happened, people would have thought you were crazy, or accuse you of promoting the slippery slope fallacy.

It still isn't. The Youtube player is garbage and full of tearing.

Most likely a little bit of both.

It's currently possible to detect the atmosphere of some exoplanets. The presence of oxygen would be a pretty good indicator that photosynthesis is happening.

The entire planet is coated with bacteria and bacteriaphages. It's entirely possible that any new life created through abiogenesis is almost immediately outcompeted by evolved microbes.

Twitter does all the time, just with a different target. Someone even set up a satirical subreddit to take all the hateful messages posted on Twitter and replacing "white/men/etc" with "jews" just to prove the point.

He was on Facebook too.

It is completely untrue. That's been disallowed on both sites since day 1.

>I came up with the original concept of 8chan while on a psychedelic mushroom trip. I was past the peak and was on the tail end of the trip, and I just decided to browse 4chan because that's what I did when sober. I was still tripping pretty bad though so I kept seeing these fractal patterns and I wrote down the words "infinite chan" to remember for later.

>The next day, I was able to put into words more of what the site would be like. I was inspired partly by the admin of 4chon.net, savetheinternet, who routinely refused to make requested boards for users. I wondered what it would be like if there were a Reddit-style imageboard where anyone could make a board without express admin approval, and began hacking on the imageboard engine I knew best to make it a reality: vichan. I decided to expire boards after inactivity so that it didn't get full of dead boards like Reddit does with dead subreddits, and released version 1 of 8chan two days later.

Could you go into more detail?

>Of course everybody knows the right way to convince conspiracy theorists that they're wrong is to go after them.

All this work to shut them down by various organizations can even accurately be described as a conspiracy. (Though more of a conspiracy-fact since they're so shameless about it)

Biometric data is leaked whenever you touch a doorknob.

Are you using Firefox? There's been a bug affecting Twitter the past few days.

>they'll enact chinese style mass deletions of content

They already do that.

>Tabloids are nothing like the NY Times or Washington Post, which attempt to present objective, unbiased news. (Now you may argue that they fail at that -- but they do profess at least to aim for it, while tabloids don't even try in the first place.)

Both of them are explicit about their support of Biden.

>possibly faked or hacked emails

What makes that less credible than "anonymous sources"?

>4. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.

Shame. I was hoping they would develop a completely washable phone due to corona.

So how do I install it on Ubuntu?

>HCL

It's a bit weird to use that as an acronym for hydroxychloroquine when everybody already uses it for hydrochloric acid (Hydrogen Chloride).

1. You don't pay, you just deposit money. If you show up to court, you get the money back. If you don't have that money on hand, its common to take out a loan.

2. Everyone has the right to a free public defender. I don't know if there's any study on how they compare to private lawyers.

3, 4, 5, and 7. Low income people are eligible for Medicaid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid

6. I've never heard of location mattering

I wouldn't really base my worldview of something on what I see in fiction, since the purpose of these shows is to show drama, rather than to be informative. It wouldn't be as exciting to watch people solve their problems by applying for welfare.

What about Firefox?

You do own it. And you're free to use the open source drivers if you want.

Let's add "communicate" to that. It's crazy how much of the world's communication is controlled by a few guys in Silicon Valley and their arbitrary ToS.

>false pretense of violence

It was pretty real

Here's the full story for anyone who is curious.

I don't know what you mean by "the narrative you are pushing". The only narrative is that the CEO of reddit did something that seriously caused me to lose faith in the site and went completely unpunished. You may feel that the event was inconsequential, but not everyone feels the same.

But that may have well just been the first incident where he was caught red handed. Who knows how many other incidents he got away with? I have no faith in the integrity of reddit administration, especially Spez. The fact that he wasn't fired immediately means reddit staff does not take these issues seriously.

Hopefully the UV light is blocked from escaping the device.

>This comment by spez is also interesting

For what its worth, Spez was caught abusing his admin access to secretly edit comments in the past, including other people's comments who he disagreed with politically. I would doubt any comment posted on reddit where Spez has stake in, as he might have just changed the story sometime down the line.

Most HN users aren't going to like it because it is for far-left "tankies" that promote violence. One of the top posts right now is:

>Some people deserve their heads to be displayed on spikes

They've already begun the process. There's a "Windows 10 S mode" that when enabled, only allows running programs downloaded from the Microsoft store.
