Nice. I have an Areopress but I could never really get into it. I liked its results but I just find it nicer to brew using other methods. For grinder I recently got a 1Zpresso manual grinder and I love it - it is a joy to use and makes a meaningful improvement in the results.

The time frame up to the IPO (I don't know how that timing works) seems to be what is critical. Right now Reddit has been unprofitable. The CEO took on massive new levels of expenses via staffing with no real plan (or it didn't work?) for how to pay for those expenses. This bad faith "negotiation" on API seems aimed at... I guess trading 3rd party utility and to some extent the community for the ability to sell data to AI industry?

I guess we will see but pick a time frame and none of it looks good for Reddit.

Yeah, leadership... I guess?

I have no idea what I am doing, I am going to copy that other person even though it seems obvious they are failing.

It is almost like we can't trust a for-profit owned social media site to have our interests as their first priority. I don't know what this CEO is doing but it's hard to see a bright future for Reddit in any case. Its too bad for the community but it is really too bad for those working there.

I am not sure why people link to twitch instead of the source. https://reddark.untone.uk

https://reddark.untone.uk This doesn't seem too bad for a hastily arranged reaction to all of this. I know it is frustrating to not have immediate gratification, but demoralizing those who are staying strong is not helpful.

From people I follow, generally positive. A lot of early-game balance issues but it is good to see these being addressed rapidly. It's a beautiful game, with great voice acting and people generally enjoy the story. Probably the major complaints are the level scaling system that makes progress feel... weird and the limited endgame.

For me, I like it but I don't feel overly compelled to play it. I put in a little time and that feels like enough for me. That's not usally how I take on games, so even though I do not have specific complaints about it, I am not that excited about it. I regret paying extra for early admission. That amount of extra money was much better spent on Hades.

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.

I agree for the most part and that the front page should be more focused on what the user will gain or be able to do if they join and in language that understand. However, the first sentence is "Follow communities anywhere in the world" not bad at least. It should elaborate on what that means.

Some people of course really do care about FOSS and letting people know that or even just having them see those words/ideas is important IMHO. It could, however, elaborate by saying "social media that is not corporate controlled" or whatever that may make the point about it more clear.

I have 538 bookmarked but I never find it all that helpful. By the time the charts start to make sense to me, it's too late. Maybe I don't give it enough of a chance/credit but that is how it seems to me.

So I guess I am saying, I didn't really trust it before.
