Yeah, looks like the default “word_wordnumbers” usernames that reddit gives you if don’t change them.

This change is when I knew Reddit was going down the shitter. Automatically handing out default usernames instead of requiring you to pick your own. The only people that could possibly help are a) people with absolutely no imagination whatsoever, b) bots, and c) people making a dozen alts to puff up their main.

Ah, I misunderstood. My mistake then.

I know this is wildly off topic, but didn’t you move from Beehaw to Tumblr?

It’s not his audience I’m worried about (not in this context anyway). I’m worried about the people who aren’t aware of who his audience is.

Everyone is pointing out the comparison of Wikipedia’s salaries to other tech companies, but they’re missing the point that the person they’re arguing with is NOT coming from a good faith position. They are hoping to feed on your distrust of the rich and powerful, in an attempt to convince you to work against your interests and the common good.

They hope their calls of “Wikipedia owners make too much money!” leads to “We should dismantle Wikipedia by boycotting donations!” and then to “We should sell Wikipedia to the last surviving Koch brother!”

In times like this, especially when the original twitter post gets ratio’d to shit, it’s important to evaluate where they’re getting their numbers. I see they post a link to Rumble. I’ve never heard of this before, what is it?

Rumble
Rumble is a video platform where you can watch live and on-demand content from various categories, such as news, politics, gaming, sports, viral, power slap and finance. You can also discover new creators, join communities, and support your favorite channels on Rumble.

Um… I don’t know what Power Slap is but ok, it’s a youtube clone.

Oh fuck me it’s a right wing nutjob site. This post is fucking dogshit, trashing Wikipedia because it helps counter their propaganda. Fuck that noise.

Happily other people noticed this fucking nonsense:

So I have no idea what the Lunduke Journal is, so I spent a couple minutes googling it to find its run by a Qanon guy and they themselves say their “tech satire” so… Maybe not someone you should trust with facts.

He says elsewhere that it’s a “liberal cesspool” so you know where is problem really is.

State agencies cannot do business with companies that boycott

Missorui’s law says businesses cannot do business with other businesses that boycott yatta yatta. That’s a bit of a departure from Texas’s law (which is also braindead).

I have, but the ones I tried weren’t much better. I looked again and there’s a few new ones, so I’ll try those and update if they work faster/more consistently.

I have been trying to figure out why since I started using it… searches spin forever, videos spin forever, some videos just spit “Error 1003” immediately, and then they become accessible 10 minutes later. I even tried filing an issue to no avail. I may end up looking for other alternatives.

Now if only Piped wouldn’t error out and be unusable for 10 minutes at a time every couple hours…

I’m curious why “push notifications” really act like “pull notifications.” Your phone has to request updates from Google/Apple’s server. You’re still just polling a server frequently. Why is it not the other way around? Why is your phone not the server, and Google/Apple make the “request” to your phone?

Here, we see a schizoposter in it’s natural habitat…

Not OP, here’s a Law Stack Exchange thread where silence (in conjunction with other actions) is consent.
Here’s where silence is NOT consent.

the doctrine in contract law that ambiguity is always found to be detrimental to the drafter of the contract.

Anywhere to read more about this?

Thanks for adding an update to your post OP. Good to know cool heads prevailed!

I thought that bit was hysterical.

“Tell me you’ve never been employed before without telling me.”

“I prefer discord for business communication.”

Your waking life for minimum wage and your dreams for free.

Like, he kept the ship from listing more, and he’s bailing his hardest, but, the ship ain’t righting and it’s still leaking.

Half of the passengers are actively shooting holes into the ship. I don’t think there’s a human alive that could right it. There is no Ideal Candidate who can fix all these problems in one term - probably not even in two. So I don’t get why we’re holding Biden to this impossible standard where conservatives create problems faster than anyone can solve them, but then we hold Biden solely responsible for the both the cleanup and the progress we should have made in the meantime, but then we also won’t afford him the benefit of “helping.” In your words, “he was far from alone in that,” well why should he be?

To be fair to OP, I’ve seen “Dark Brandon” more as a meme to vex conservatives, used when Biden accomplishes a one of his policies, and particularly when fighting to get student loans forgiven.

Am I drunk or does the thumbnail look like China owns Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan? WTF?
