  • Instead of focusing on its users and the value of self-governance by volunteers, Reddit has agreed to hand over content they’ve generated to Google to train its AI models, in efforts that are now being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission.

    Reddit users should now stop questioning themselves about who’s more important than whom.

    It’s anybody’s guess as to where Reddit’s IPO will go. Its opening price at $34 a share is the top of the anticipated range, indicating that investors are excited. Following its debut, Reddit shares jumped as much as 70 percent, confirming this suspicion.

    I must’ve not really looked, but this is quite the confirmation that Reddit finally pulled the trigger. The enshittification is due to come but we’ll see it in time if it isn’t here yet.

    Reddit is dead. But is it truly spez’s fault entirely? I reckon to margin that he is 90% of Reddit’s problems. The other 10 is the users, because as we know, they complain more than do more.










  • They’ll start to care, even a little, once they grow up more and realize that:

    “OMG I’M STILL RENTING APARTMENTS OR LIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND I’M 30 YEARS OLD, WHAT DO?!”

    “OMG I’M STILL MAKING SHIT WAGES AND I’M BARELY MAKING BY, WHAT DO?!”

    “OMG I CAN’T DO ANYTHING I WAS LIED TO THAT WHEN I GROW UP I’D DO, WHAT DO?!”

    And they’ll all take to social media to pump themselves with copium through memes and bitch to the high heavens pretending anyone gives a shit about what they’re saying. Not like that isn’t happening now.




  • This fucking sucks. It was only recently for a while, I was watching Dragon Ball clips of fights, moments and everything. Dragon Ball was never really my favorite series, it’s only a guilty pleasure that I find myself watching it and having some favorite characters and moments of the show.

    I was more of a Tenchi Muyo/Berserk/Fist of the North Star kind of fan. But I had a soft spot appreciation for what Dragon Ball brought and has done for it’s community. I am also grateful that Toriyama brought Dragon Ball back so it could see new heights in the way of where it is, after Dragon Ball GT and Evolution almost killed the series.

    RIP Toriyama-san.



  • Anytime I start to have a shred of thought that people had some dignity left or something redeemable so that I can’t think any low of them in general. Stuff like this comes out and I’m re-affirmed in my original stance.

    I’m still not going to vote. I want NEWER candidates. I want DIFFERENT but beneficial directions for the country. I want SOMEBODY I can get out and vote for with confidence. But you know what, if it’s going to just boil down to Biden and Trump, I can’t be bothered. To hell with it. To hell with America.



  • Riiiiiight, Linux community is friendlier. I wouldn’t really call them that, though some aspects are. My problem still with the entirety of the Linux community that will always put me off about Linux and rather tolerate Windows more is the elitism. I have used Linux OSes before, I have my fair share of favorites and I see Linux as a go-to whenever I pick up computers too old to bother with Windows 10 and 11 and I just simply want a bare basics machine.

    But I cannot in full faith, use Linux as my primary OS. I’ve tried. I can’t do it. There are simply things on Windows that I need and want to use that’ll simply just run and that’s what I want the most is for things to just run. It isn’t because I’m too dumb to use a Linux OS. It’s because I don’t have the patience or time to be weeding through forum posts, deciphering depositories and repositories, figuring out what obscure and vague message the terminal sends me and spending time on Google.

    Besides this whole chart doesn’t make a load of sense. Like the whole “you’ll own what you buy”? What does that have to do with D&D and Pathfinder? I don’t get it.
