Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No…well, this is odd.

It’s almost certainly hiding vents or pipes that needed to be routed there. As for the carpeting, somebody no doubt thought it would be cool, or else if for sound dampening.

A Russian commander with an apparent habit of posting his running routes on social media has been shot dead while jogging in the city of Krasnodar.

Excellent OpSec, those Russians have!

WTF, I ain’t watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I’ll just watch the first few minutes and see what’s up…

…

One hour later…

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.

And that’s awesome!

They didn’t switch sides. They created a third side. A Mêlée à Trois.

That’s awful, but perhaps better than stuck for hours or days inside of a dead, dark, cold submarine at the bottom of the ocean as the oxygen slowly runs out.

Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It’s just not my thing.

I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.

I could only think, “That’s no better!!”

We’ll see if that changes.

To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that’s what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more…static.

The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.

Sounds like that’s being fixed soon.

Not a bad article. A bit light on details and the effects and consequences of Reddit’s changes. However, many articles I’ve seen from other mainstream news organizations were slanted towards the corporate bias and made it sound like the concerns were no big deal.
