There's reads really passive aggressive. It clearly wasn't intended to actually say anything meaningful to staff but rather something for 1. media that pickup on (won't anyone think of the poor people attacked for wearing Reddit gear in public!), 2. appeasement of potential investors ahead of the IPO (our bottom line is rock solid folks, thousands of subs gone and no impact on profits!) and 3. an unsubtle dig at and gaslighting of people participating in the blackout (fools! This won't last, you'll all come crawling back and this doesn't affect many subs anyway!).

Spez just keeps doubling down on the Streisand Effect. Challenge accepted arsehole.

I was talking with some fellow social media haters the other day about how disturbing social media addiction is. Like a family member I visited, him and his partner were glued to Instagram almost the whole time I was there (several days) and was spouting stuff he 'learned' on Insta as fact. Yet I use Instagram (for a non-profit) and can't stand that every 1-3 posts is an ad. It drives be bonkers.

This same family member and partner also refuse to let their kid be exposed to Tik Tok becauee they view it as unhealthy and addictive yet can't recognise their own, honestly scary, addiction.

Or when I've stayed in shared accommodation at events seeing people around me wake up and immediately grab their phones and start doom scrolling.

So because Frontier was unable to afford to continue to support it on consoles, you think EVERYONE should lose access? I sympathise that it really sucks for console players but it's better than nothing at all for everyone.

Great post! I really appreciate how you break things down and give folks realistic solutions. My entire career as a commander has been on Linux (with a HOTAS and a bunch of EDMC plugins).

JT Chapman (Second Thought on YouTube or Nebula) is right when he says we already live in a dystopia

Sorry, I usually use Fedia.io but for some reason it's not federating very well. Here's the one where you can see a partially eaten one and it's pink inside.

Are fish cakes normally pink inside in the US? Here fish cakes are white inside.

As soon as I saw that stupid AMA by Spez and how much he is doubling down on the BS, I thought of r/WallStreetBets. Spez clearly doesn't understand his own communities lol. Imma have popcorn ready.

Second Obsidian. I was going introduced to it and have been loving it for organising information I need to keep.
