I'm entirely against changing the name because I think that the whole conversation about why is fucking asanine.

But...

If we do change it, can we change it to "Politically Correct Master Race" for a laugh? The acronym would still work... :)

Cool, thanks for explaining.

I doubt they'd be bothered too much by impacting the first part though, they've shown to be entirely willing to lose userbase in order to force their app, so retention probably doesn't interest them there if people start using the RSS feed as a 3rd party app.

I think the crux of it would come more down to whether or not they want to deal with the potential SEO hit that could come from getting rid of it.

Should be interesting to watch how they handle it, at any rate.

On a personal note, I'm pretty much done with Reddit after how they've acted recently, but watching them running around in the road, trying to play with the busses is genuinely fascinating.

Wrong, fuck this guy: :)

Interesting, what does Reddit even use an RSS feed for? I'm trying to figure out why they'd even have that still going today and coming up empty.

Clearly an unjustified ban. :p

That's cool and everything, but if it's scraping the site they'll block that shit straight away, they've already said as much and scraper blocking is relatively easy to do these days.

Good luck though.

I can imagine some alpha-cunt Tate-esque grifter selling courses on how to "Just Shout at People" like it's some sort of magic spell that mysteriously makes everything that you want happen.

Selling it like it's the hidden secret sauce to the universe or whatever, rather than just being a dick to everyone.

Would the community even be any worse, I wonder? :)

Pretty much. Made perfect sense in my head at the time.

I totally see how it would be ambiguous now though.

Ironic.

Yep. Laughs in FOSS would have worked way better than mine.

Thanks for the other pointers too, although I really didn't need the mental image of windows update happening 60 times a second, thank you very much. :)

Well, maybe I'm just not good at memes (almost certainly the case tbh) but Microsoft are talking about windows switching to being a largely cloud based OS, hence their Windows 365 talk recently.

Which is horrible, obviously.

Laughs in KDE could have been any distro, more about not having to deal with the eventual clusterfuck that's coming towards windows users...

There it is folks, someone had to explain their fucking meme. See that, that's what a shit meme looks like. :p

Ha! Goddamnit I walked right into that, didn't I?
