I really like the idea of relevant + flag as additional (more weighted) attributes compared to just agree/disagree, as you might disagree with a poster but still want to mark the comment as valuable for the discussion (which can't be done on Reddit since you'll downvote them to the gutters).

I'm hoping it won't result in too much micromanagement of different attributes for each post, but am curious to see how it turns out.

Thanks! Totally missed that setting.

I was a Gentoo user from 2004 up until last year, when I found my secondary driver in a soft-bricked state due to me not having done any updates on it for about half+ a year.

Switched to Arch Linux and haven't looked back since. Sure, it will also throw a soft brick at me if I ignore/forget to upgrade, but one of the reasons I refrained from doing it on Gentoo was the compilaton time...

In fact, trust isn't manually handled, it's handled based on how similarly you act vs others (i.e. you both upvote/downvote similarly, flag posts similarly, etc), and I'm deciding whether making this based on community makes sense (i.e. you trust user A on community X, but not on community Y).

Wouldn't this just create an impenetrable filter bubble/echo chamber where you see nothing else than content you 100% agree with?

I'm not the prepper person either, but I like to be self-sufficient and not be overly reliant on modern technology. My primary use case has been during travels.

All under the guise of "free speech". Which, as we all know, means speech that align with Elon's currently held opinions.

Kiwix seems to be the most popular app to browse offline web pages like this.

But shouldn't it be 8 < 1

That would be a pair of scissors, on its way to cut the number 1.

Epic Games (lolwhat?) bought it in 2022, but sold to Songtradr in 2023. The latter seems to be some kind of music license broker.

If you are using Paypal, log in to Paypal and go to Bills. Select Spotify and scroll down - there should be a link to cancel the subscription at the bottom.

I think we should call "football" exactly what it is. Unassociated soccer.
