So - it looks like it was all before Luffy met up with them after Enies Lobby. Koby’s style of dress hadn’t changed yet, and Helmeppo’s style was still bowl cut and no eye covers.

That said - that’s just when Koby started training with the Battleship Bag concept. We saw last chapter that it took years for Kuzan to catchup to Garp in the quality of hits he was doing - so Koby being able to have a really destructive hit a couple of years into that type of training is maybe a little surprising but ultimately is why Garp had so much faith in him as the future of the Marines.

Now it’s much more believable that Garp is dead - he’s laughing while freezing.

With that said - Kuzan hasn’t really ever actually killed someone in the series. Legitimately everyone he’s frozen on panel has lived - Saul, Luffy, Robin, Buggy, Blackbeard’s crew…

I’m looking forward to jumping back to Egghead and seeing how the crew handles the Siege, and gets our stone-turned members back in action.

And I’m fine with them wanting to do that.

The protest was less about them wanting to charge a price, it’s that in a time frame of 6 months reportedly went from “the API won’t have changes anytime soon” to “we’re going to pivot to a paid API soon” to “we’re charging you advertiser rates per x million API requests, starting in a month, and you cannot supplement with your own ads”.

There was no time for these apps to adjust their pricing models. Most were on yearly subscription models or ad-driven. Having that large a pivot in the rules with no time to adapt the business model is just shitty partnership on Reddit’s part.

Not if I view them using those third party apps they apparently need to charge an arm and a leg for.

The problem is that it is not tagged NSFW, despite its source being an NSFW server, so its thumbnails come through unblurred.

I’d be in favor. They don’t bother to check their content as NSFW, and, to my knowledge there’s nothing that currently exists for an entire instance to have its content blanketly tagged in that manner.

I report, and I’m individually blocking communities on NSFW servers. But that won’t prevent their next magazine from causing the same issue.

Exactly. But they dropped exhorbitant cost on those apps and provided no runway for them to adapt their business model. So instead - I’m here on kbin and likely going to dive into an open source project to try to help get a mobile app for this out soon.

Yeah, I was an original buyer on reddit gold. Then I got 2 years free because of the Alien Blue shutdown, and I never reupped afterward, because it didn’t really add anything to the experience.

And by the looks of it “avatar upgrades” and “Custom app icons” ain’t really providing anything else of value still.

You can however reach a level of confidence about a negative.

Like, I can't prove that putting my VR headset on didn't actually send me to another world... but I've got a pretty high degree of confidence that it didn't.

The Brickyard Batallion knows and welcomes all sorts. :)

But what if it's dead on my instance, and I don't want to make an account on another instance for the sake of managing a community?

Ironically, reddit was open source. Here's the python source code repo for what the site was between 2005-2017. They have it preserved in an archive, and reddit the company still does contribute a lot of open source code and to open source projects, but I don't think the react rewrite of the site is included in that list.
