All the while they uphold objectively-racist comments despite several reports. Fucking weird.

I mentally checked out of reddit when I got a comment deleted and a 3-day sitewide ban for saying:

“It is always OK to punch a Nazi.”

It was a literal comment, not figurative, nothing was being compared, etc. Just a straight statement about actual past and present-day Nazis. Ban.

The 3rd-party app fiasco happened a couple of weeks later, and that was the second sign that I needed to GTFO.

It’s true, at least for me. I can actually control the focus now instead of digging down a rabbithole of <random topic here> for 6 hours at 3am.

If I’m going down that rabbithole now, it’s because I want to.

Future incidents probably will still happen

It’s not a question of if, but when. The only secure computer is one that’s a mile underground, encased in concrete, and with no network connection.

And even then, it’s still not a 100% safe bet.

Just added it to the massive Google graveyard next to Stadia, wave, hangouts, plus, music, etc etc

I am shocked and appalled that Google Reader didn’t get called out in this list and is relegated to the “etc” category.

It deserves more than “etc.”

Some places are insanely polluted to the point where you wonder how a whole company could be so braindead and essentially poison themselves.

“That’s the future guy’s problem, my problem is making money.”

No need to wonder. That’s how.

Places like that never learn their lesson until The Event™ happens. At my last place, The Event™ was a derecho that knocked out power for a few days, and then when it came back on, the SAN was all kinds of fucked. On top of that, we didn’t have backups for everything because they didn’t want to pay for more storage. They were losing like $100K+ every hour they were down.

The speed at which they approved all-new hardware inside a colocation facility after The Event™ was absolutely hilarious, I’d never seen anything approved that quickly.

Trust me, they’re going to keep putting it off until you have your own version of The Event™, and they’ll deny that they ever disregarded the risk of it happening in the first place, even though you have years’ worth of emails saying “If we don’t do X, Y will occur.” And when when Y occurs, they’ll scream “Oh my God, Y has occurred, no one could have ever foreseen this!”

It’ll happen. Wait and watch.

This video is the greatest thing that Yahoo Answers has ever produced.

I’ve been using vscode since it was released and I never knew that was an option. Thank you!

docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)

…until you have a single extra space character hiding 20 lines into your compose file and the whole thing falls over the next time you try to bring the containers up.

Lint your code and configs every time!

You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.

Me too.

Request a GDPR takeout from reddit, wait for them to deliver, and then use a tool like Redact that can use that data to delete everything.

I’m seriously missing the ability to jump to the current/next/previous parent comment. I make heavy use of that and only Jerboa has it right now, I think.

Liftoff is great, has a lot of potential too. Devs in their Matrix room are cool.
