I’ve often seen it adjusted for things like Reddit as such:

90% of users only view

9% of users vote

1% of users comment

Interestingly enough, old.reddit users are in the single digit percentages:

Even if they weren’t hostile towards old.reddit (the ads are far less invasive and effective), they could make a strong argument for not wanting to support a dwindling, tiny userbase.

Depends on your exit node.

Also if you change the front page to be US-specific it’ll force a login.

As usual, people in the US get the shaft when it comes to privacy things.

Looks like everyone misread my comment. I guess I’ll delete it before the algorithm punishes me further.

Hate to be that guy, but this is a skill issue.

Sending something that could be misinterpreted by an algorithm or law enforcement over unencrypted channels like this is just a terrible idea.

That’s exactly how it worked for my agency.

They were dragging new hires in and ordering them to sign away the union without knowing anything about them.

Too true, but when you see a kid crying about their spilled ice cream, do you go “Haha, cry harder dipshit!” Ice cream doesn’t matter, right?

Or should you just be kind to others as your starting point?

Serious question:

Have you ever wondered why you enjoy being shitty to other people?

Yeah, fair enough. I just didn’t want to give them an “it depends” answer.

Like the kind you wear in a lab?

No, those are purpose-built to keep airborne contaminants out.

Pepper spray, especially fog-applied, is going to get around that.

Basically, yeah.

It’s a bit easier to know someone doesn’t do drugs if you require they hand over keys to the cops for regular surprise inspections and searches of their home, but at what point have we made the fix far worse than the problem?

Similarly, rootkit anticheat gives advanced low-level access to anyone who can crack the anticheat program, all to make it a bit less likely that you’ll cheat. It’s a bit easier to program than server-side anticheat, but at what cost?

You’re an internet user.

Don’t you know how much CSAM there is on the internet?

You make me sick.

Competitive shooters from mega-corporate publishers are generally the only ones who have a cow if they can’t rootkit anti-cheat your rig.

So whether you’re against oligarchs or against setting up a backdoor into your PC, you shouldn’t be playing those titles anyway.

How is it that it took until 2026, nearly 100 years after the advent of the nuclear bomb, for school administrators to realize that not all technology is inherently good in every application?

“Well that settles it! He has my vote!”

- a lot of American voters, apparently

The Lesser War started when Franz Ferdinand was assassinated.

I dunno, doesn’t have the same ring to it.

One day (soon) they will call The Great Depression “Great Depression I.”
