I once told someone they couldn’t park their Ferrari behind the restaurant I was working in because it was the place where the trucks would unload the food and he would get a fine.

He just replied with “it’s ok, the fine is just what the parking lot is charging me to park there then”. I said I would call the towing company and he said “ok, I’ll just Uber home and pay to get my car back”.

I then thought that I wasn’t paid enough on my job to deal with that shit so I gave up. Honestly, having a lot of money in this world is like cheating.

Just opened Sync because “I wanted to use it for one last time” and was hit with the 404… So sad to see a good app vanish like that…

But I’m glad we’re getting Sync for Lemmy at the same time.

Goodbye Sync for Reddit…

And hello Sync for Lemmy (soon)!

I just finished playing Resident Evil 4 remake for the first time and I’m gonna hop back in when I have the time

For me it was Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4, as well as Devil May Cry 3.

I used to have a pretty hard time thinking about what were my favorite games and the ones that changed my tastes and probably perspectives.

I realized that every time get asked this question the first games that come to mind are always these 3.

r/relationships…

That was a cesspool of bad advice and full of people doing mental gymnastics to always arrive to the same conclusion: break up/divorce, sue, key/scratch their car.

I don’t want anything else related to Meta…

I stopped using Fb years ago and had to use it again not long ago because I moved countries and the demographic here can’t stop using Fb/Instagram/Whatsapp for everything related to business.

But if it uses ActivityPub (and from my understanding that’s decentralized), couldn’t I just use my Mastodon account to interact with people there? Would that mean that my Instagram (or, in this case, “Threads”) account can potentially communicate with Mastodon accs as well?

The Verge article:

“A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge.

So… According to Reddit the blackout is the culprit, I guess?

So either it’s just an outage and they’re faulting the blackout, or the blackout is actually the culprit. Either way I hope this works. However, I’m still not going back to Reddit even if they fix and reverse everything.

I read this in David Attenborough’s voice

could result in the social media company’s trust and safety teams being crippled

Is that the only consequence? What happens if they don’t pay at all, what would Google do? Genuinely asking, I have no clue.

I honestly think more subs need to do an indefinite shut down.

If it’s only for 48 hours Reddit can just wait it out, and if not a lot of subs join in on the indefinite shut down they can just replace the mods for new ones.

However, in my opinion, the buggest change will come June 30th when 3rd party apps shut down since that’s when users will actualy stop using Reddit.

Let’s hope it’s enough users to make a change. I myself will be deleting everything and my account on June 30th. Let’s hope something changes.
