yeh looks like it. i can't see any comments on that post either

 

welp, if nobodsy else is going to post this, why not?

today is the winter solstice. sunrise where i am in regional victoria was at 7:32am, and sunset will be at sometime close to 5:10pm. this is the least amount of daylight we have for the entire year.

it's also negative 2 degrees here and my front lawn is covered with ice. why can't it rain? clouds are like a blanket keeping the place warm at night, and rainwater is warmer than the air at this time of year ...

web of trust, or mywot. puts a little sign next to every link telling you if they're trustworthy. fucken game changer. botsight is a great one for twitter. and buzzkill, well, kills buzzfeed

when has the narrative ever changed away from that attitude? look at how mutahar has acted - knowing that we're doing the right thing but still throwing as much contempt into everything as he possibly can. the only times that people side with mods is when we're taking enormous damage so that general users don't cop it instead, or if there's a power-mad despot who should never have control of anything larger than a toy train

 

i'm a single, stay-at-home insomniac parent so i'v got a ton of free time. bedtime is 2am and my alarm goes off at 7am. i can take orders.

totally your call. i'm another one of those reddit fugees and am winding up the communities that i mod over there in the next two weeks. if you're not interested then -thumbs up-

and if someone can tell me where the fuck my boat is ......

nah, crypto is smoke-and-mirrors and he knows that this isn't, so he's run away

have you tried internet archive or removeddit?

the instance that i'm typing from is being hosted in someone's cupboard with some pretty off-the-shelf parts. i'v probably got enough parts for something similar laying around my house. if instances stay to low populations and the workload is distributed amongst all of them, it's not actually stressing the system all that much at all.

that being said, as soon as the aussie zone sysadmin asks for financial assistance, i'll be putting my hand into my pocket. again, if enough people do that then it's not much of a cost at all

the thing that did happen with digg that didn't happen with heaps of other websites was a negatively received UI change. people hated it.

now, people deliberately don't use the reddit mobile app because it fucking sucks, and closing down the alternatives is a negative UI change ...

lol nah, the best mods are the ones that nobody notices because they just deal with everything immediately and with a friendly and happy attitude

oh cheers, thank you! i was not aware of that. thanks again!

spotify, believe it or not. for the genres of music that i nose around in it has an amazing catalog, i can listen all thru the house thanks to alexa, and i can favourite or skip a track with voice commands. i pay for the premium version because i hate ads and also because i want to listen to music at higher quality than 192kbps

shazam is one click away from being opened after i unlock my phone at any point. holy shit that's been a good resource when i'm out somewhere and hear something i like.

after that, however, i spend a lot of time on bandcamp hunting for obscure and decent sounding remixes of popular songs. THAT's what i dump on a dancefloor full of hippies. if you get the girls dancing then the boys dance with them and with charismatic music you can turn it into a party instead of just a bunch of people dancing to music

oh, and when you're listening to music that you're thinking about DJing with, you absolutely utterly NEED an enormous subwoofer and a surround sound hifi so you can hear it the way it's supposed to sound

general user experience is more important for a userbase leaving a website. mods are a vast minority in those numbers, and people don't notice them gone until the shit hasn't just hit the fan but has splattered everywhere and they're looking for whoever the fuck is going to clean it up, or to put it another way a few days during which the mod in question has been sipping wine and sunbathing my the pool instead of, well, cleaning up shit

excuse the rant. as far as i'm aware, most mods i speak to use a desktop with the mod toolbox extension installed
