A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a Haitian native on this very topic. While I deleted my reddit account and no longer have access to that conversation, the gist was…

Americans don’t seem to understand that every time they swoop in to ‘save’ Haiti, what they are really doing is enforcing the same colonial ideals that landed Haiti in the mess to start with.

There’s no politician in play down there that isn’t on the take. His opinion was just to leave it alone and let the gangs sort it out. Either they’ll pull together a government or the last gang standing will.

His statement had a lot more anger and quite a few expletives… They’re just sick of all of us, y’all.

lmao just bought one of these last week! Glad the fix is already out.

And no, I didn’t buy it for its looks xD It’s actually a decent router that does additional things I needed.

I’ve seen this over and over in corporate environments.

Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.

Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn’t say anything because they wanna keep their job.

Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.

What is it about Suits that they can’t listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they’re angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.

“Well, BYE!”

Because you can’t pack it up in a box and ship it to just anyone. They have to make it specifically for you. Hence case-by-case.

They’ll appeal. This guy won’t be in jail for the election.

“Will detonating this nuclear bomb set the atmosphere on fire?”

“Meh, probably not.”

AI said kill this guy right here

Guess it’s a good thing that multi billion dollar payout to Musk got cancelled

If I had to login to every account I wanted to pay manually I’d prob be bankrupt xD

My sister and I were wee little ones who one week brought home scads of stuff given to us by our school from the American Cancer society. We went running up to our dad screaming “We don’t want you to die daddy!” with all that childish exuberance, and he quit cold turkey the next day.

“Truth has no place here.”

Heheh you act like russia hasn’t been poking them in the eye for decades. Plus, they prob had this attack in the works long before Hamas attacked.

We’ve investigated ourselves and found proof that we’re awesome!

Good article. I think they hit on the real driving thought process behind the offer, and that’s to divide any potential shorters on the opportunity to run the stock low.

For my part, good try Steve, but I’ll pass on this ‘opportunity’. The fediverse is my home now and I’ll put in my efforts here.

I believe they call that out in the article… the parentheses look like a late addition though?

On Halloween 2006, just 16 months after they founded the company, Huffman and Ohanian sold Reddit to Condé Nast in a deal worth $10 million and agreed to stay on as leaders for at least three years. (Condé Nast, which is owned by Advance Magazine Publishers, is the publisher of WIRED). Condé viewed Reddit as a place to experiment and where the magazine company could build out new ideas online.

But by 2009, according to users, Reddit’s website was as bare-bones as before the sale. Ohanian and another person familiar with the corporate politics say the site’s growth was stymied by Condé Nast’s uncertain desires for the property and Ohanian’s self-­acknowledged mismanagement. Reddit was awash in half-baked pursuits—including a short-lived iPhone app, iReddit—and a path to sustainable revenue wasn’t yet evident. After the cofounders’ three-year contracts expired on Halloween 2009, Huffman and Ohanian left for new pursuits.

Slowe and the handful of other staffers left behind at Reddit—now contending with the fallout from a global recession—stumbled through experiments with selling ads and subscriptions. Neither Condé execs nor users were pleased. But they managed to keep the website alive. Anyone could now open a subreddit, and by January 2011, Reddit had 57,000 of them. That year the company began operating as a subsidiary of Condé Nast’s parent, Advance, which let it function more like a startup. (Advance still owns a roughly 30 percent stake.) Amid the changes, Ohanian came back via a seat on Reddit’s board.

If people don’t just say no to this garbage, it will continue. Honestly I think I’m gonna go to an Audi dealership this weekend and crank the salesguys up before walking out on principle.

Heheh you feel better now?

Guess you missed the word probably, but okay

That’s very likely what happened. The problem is that the control board that manages communications is so old that nobody can find any documentation on how it works, so they can’t even begin to figure out a fix.

Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead.
