Unpaid mod, with less “powers” than a normal mod.

Oh yeah no shade at all, it’s cheap and efficient

By servers I assume we mean the pile of Mac Minis.

Complete rumour and hearsay from Discord, but allegedly a current/former mod is claiming they’ll relaunch sometime on the 21st but only about 1/4 of the boards will be up due to a lack of jannies.

The vulnerabilities found in the codebase were… sizeable to say the least. I assume the extended downtime is to patch the ones they can, and disable features for the ones they can’t + needing to replace a big chunk of the mods and jannies.

The little theme tune he hums as he sprints towards the coffin is great.

“Willys, willys, I like willys!”

“It’s I LOVE willys”

It’s owned by Canva, so I’d be willing to bet their next release will we some kind of web version - in that case there would be no need to port it.

This translates to fewer Patreon subscribers which means less opportunity and funding to create high quality videos

If there’s an algorithm to game, and money to be made, I don’t see how that’s any different to self promotion. Boil it down and all that’s happening is you are performing an action, so that more people see you, in the hopes that some of them will give you money.

The lack of an algorithm is a feature, I don’t want content I havent explicitly asked for to be shown.

I doubt there’s any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that’s why so many archive sites exist.

Call me a child, but peas are gross. The rest looks fantastic though.

Self promotion is a form of advertising, doubly so if it’s done for the purpose of attracting revenue via some means. People can opt into it if they want via subscribing/following but it’s still advertising.

So yes most “authentic” content is just people advertising themselves. I would prefer not to see that unless I have opted into it.

That’s still an ad, you want money for a product you’re offering. The only difference is in your case there’s an extra step between impression and conversion.

I’d prefer for my social media to not be full of ads for “content”.

“How would you have felt yesterday if you hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch?”

Why would a gaming react andy get a TV deal? It doesn’t make any sense what are his credentials? Yelling? Catchphrases maybe?

It’s been viable for enthusiasts for a while, but the reason it’s not mainstream is most normal people just don’t want it. It’s clumsy, cumbersome, the content is generally poor, and it’s either a Meta product or very expensive for something that’s ultimately a gimmick at the moment. Not to mention the “metaverse” tarnishing VRs image.

Even Apple couldn’t make it successful with today’s tech. Best case scenario IMO; company’s starting long term VR moonshot projects right now might have something with mainstream appeal in the distant future.

VR won’t be viable until it’s transparent and unobtrusive; a contact lens, for example. A giant headset that you strap on to your face just isn’t appealing to most customers outside of the initial novelty factor.

If you mass edit, it’ll get restored from older versions - pointless really.

Find your top 20-30 posts and comments and manually edit them. Make them sound real, but at the same time contain complete bullshit. Anyone, or any thing reading them will be misinformed- not by you but by reddit thus making reddit less valuable.

To really be a thorn in reddits side we need to be actively, but subtly malicious.

Sony AI has been a division of SIE for quite a while now. They were training AI to play Gran Tourismo years ago.

A big heat sink like they used to put on WD Raptor drives.
