As a teenager I pirated everything, but that was mostly because I didn't have the money to buy it anyway. These days I mostly use FOSS and buy things like games. That being said, my 11yo likes The Sims 4 and it is almost $1200 for everything so fuck EA.

Have they actually said it? I've always assumed .old wouldn't be around forever. I'm sort of surprised it's lasted as long as it has.

We're the invisible generation.

Any minimum wage should be pegged to a cost of living index.

The vast majority will just download the official app or quit using the site. I don't suspect all that many will end up here.

Reddit has backups, so for AI training purposes I'm sure they can restore all the posts of everyone mass editing/deleting this month.

As a new user I tried logging in on Jerboa and it says the server must be on 0.18 and refuses the login.

I still get plenty of reddit results, but many of them link to a now private sub.

It's how Twitter started. You followed people because they were your friends or had similar interests. It being a platform mainly for celebrities and influencers came later.

Most if not all 3rd party apps have already put up announcements that they will cease to function on 7/1. I suspect most people will just use the official app if they haven't already abandoned reddit.

In 5 years on arch I have never had an nvidia driver update break anything.

I was still checking it until today. At work I used old.reddit (which is probably on the chopping block), but mostly I used BaconReader from my phone and since I am not going to use the reddit app I figure I might as well just quit the site and so now I'm here.

If Mastodon became as popular as Twitter it would end up with at least part of it being almost the same as Twitter. The main reason for the differences are that very different types of people are using the two platforms currently.

I've used adblockers from the very beginning when there were just banner and popup ads. It always blows my mind when I happen to use the web on a device that doesn't have an adblocker, some pages are almost unusable without one.

I pick up everything if I am not full and going to sell soon. If I am doing something like helltide I usually skip anything that isn't ancestral since I don't want to waste the time going back to town.

Thanks for the link. I knew could side load an older version, I just wanted to be lazy and use something on the play store. I'm trying out several clients right anyway.

This is one of those things that people repeat without checking because it agrees with their worldview. I have to admit that the first time I heard it I didn't check it myself, although I didn't repeat it to anyone else before I saw it debunked elsewhere and confirmed they were correct. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to be better.

Technically, if an employee's tips plus hourly wage do not meet the minimum hourly wage the employer is required to make up the difference. The problem is the minimum wage is so low in most places that protesting the culture by not tipping would still make it impossible for the worker to live.
