What a HORRIFICALLY misleading headline.

A) Water breaks aren't banned, just no longer mandated under some local ordinances. Still mandated by federal law, in theory.

B) The law hasn't even gone into effect yet.

C) The deaths referred to are not from lack of water. It even specifically suggests lack of air conditioning.

This one can't possibly end well for reddit. If they remove the mods...

A) They leave the sub open until they find new ones, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content until then.

B) They close the sub until they find new ones, encouraging most of the userbase to leave, and likely not come back when it reopens.

C) They accept the flood of troll requests to takeover the sub, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content, but also with mod support.

Not exactly a win for the userbase, but much bigger not-win for reddit, and it's gonna be fun to watch.

Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees

LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?

Right, I think the point is that they can more easily identify strings of deletions that look like they came from a script" as opposed to activity that looks like legitimate user activity, because it was actually performed ny a user.

Oh. It's a photo of a plate. At first glance, Inthought it was a clear glass plate on top of an iPad. What the actual fuck?

It depends on how well they can be trusted with having access to all the data we would be sharing with them.

Since the answer for "how much can we trust Meta with any amount of data" is "not at all", that's an easy "defederate immediately".

You measured the resistor at 403 Ohms? That would qualify it as "not failed" then. Resistors pretty much exclusively fail open, or on rare occasions, out-of-tolerance on the high side. After 5 years of doing electronics diagnostics for USAF aircraft, I never say any other type of resistor failures.

It's the only sensible option.

All you have to do is host your own instance and other instances you connect with mirror their content to yours. It's part of the design of the protocol to help reduce user load on any particular server. While users can see content from any connected instance, direct communication happens almost exclusively with their own instance.

Good on the article for highlighting the hypocrisy.
