I was not aware of this, thank you for sharing! I agree having a non-Google connected option would be better.

Reddit has been about soft power for a while now. Ever since they scapegoated Ellen Pao, imo. They’ve been changing things relatively slowly compared to Twitter in terms of enshitification, and being more careful about who they piss off at any given time. They’ve become more emboldened ever since they banned 3rd party apps, as now they are allowing bot farms and bad actors that commented on behalf of the admins.

Reddit could be seeing tons of users leaving the site daily, but they’re for sure replacing them with bots to paint a better picture and drive engagement. The same thing applies to Twitter as well. It’s why on BlueSky for instance, I don’t see ragebait dominating my feed due to the more robust moderation tools compared to Twitter and Reddit.

Lemmy has avoided most bots due to the manual approval processes from what I can see. I think Lemmy should strongly consider implementing BlueSky’s moderation tools though.

What’s wild to me is that rewarding labor doesn’t even go against capitalism. Capitalism thrives when there is competition and competitive wages/benefits to reward labor. Instead we have late-stage capitalism with a bunch on uncompetitive monopolies which treat laborers as expendable, since those workers are limited on being able to find work with better conditions and pay.

Gimp has always been such a lifesaver for me. I’m glad to see it still has been getting improvements!

In a sense, we are integrated with the previous hominids. They didn’t go extinct so much they bred with early humans and their DNA is preserved in our own.

1. How much are you spending on your cards every month???
2. Why not have more than one card for different things, rather than cancelling cards?
3. You generally want to very rarely cancel a credit card, I recommend finding one with no annual fees and sticking with it. You can always have more cards after all.
4. A spending limit doesn’t really mean anything if you payoff your credit early, you can always request that your CC company release your credit early once you pay it off early.

In retrospect, they should have not made First Past the Post voting our voting standard. That is primarily what has caused our partisanship to arise to the extent that it has.

We can still change the voting system in each state individually to move away from First Past the Post, but that requires each individual state to have ballot initiative going that people can vote on for a new system such as Ranked Robin voting, STAR voting, Score voting, or even Ranked Choice voting.

Speaking ill of someone not present to defend themselves is commonly in bad tastes, imo. Commonality of occurrence certainly doesn’t make it any less wrongful. I don’t think it’s a gender specific issue based on the story being about guys doing this.

If you’re reading fan translations then BakaUpdates is what I would recommend using since it follows the release of scanlators. I believe many scanlators themselves are using some form of email blast or RSS announcement of new chapters as well. I don’t doubt some use something like Discord to announce releases, but that’s not a preferred method for me to hear about releases. You’re welcome!

Beans you say?

That’s a good question. I imagine the publisher’s office would have updates listed for serialized manga. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is an RSS feed or something similar out there for official updates. I think sites like MyAnimeList would list official releases. I use BakaUpdates, but that’s not following the serialized release schedule. I hope this helps!

Imagine going over to someone’s house and they bust these bad boys out for you to enjoy a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
