They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

This reminds me of the time in HS when a letter broke off my laptop keyboard and my parents insisted on taking it to the shop for a repair. Turns out they really just wanted the shop to turn over my search history and chat logs. I already knew my parents were nosy so I would always delete it anyway.

One day I came home from school and they said the shop fixed the keyboard but just needed my password to test it and do updates. I said no it's fine if he can type in anything into the password then obviously the keyboard works, and I already did the updates regularly.

They literally had to beg me for the password and they were like pleasssse just give the shop the password so they can finish their checklist and you can get your computer back, and I was like fine if it's the only way I'm getting it back. Of course nothing came of it because there was nothing to discover.

Then my parents got the computer back but kept it in the trunk of their car for a week, and I accidentally saw it when we were leaving Old Navy which started a whole "I don't believe this!" discourse in the mall parking lot.

Moral of the story just talk to your kids instead of spying and lying, because they know and it won't work!

So now they're just charging people for what they were already doing anyway.

It's getting ridiculous though like even gas stations are starting to ask. Like sorry why should I leave a tip to get a Snickers and bottle of water rung up?

"what if we made it so everybody had to pay to turn off their screens even if there was no video or music!"

Can someone name and shame yelp for automatically generating pages for business listings that don't exist like TOP 10 BEST CANTONESE FUSION RESTAURANTS IN HARPERS FERRY.

Gets a $3000 bill because they picked the wrong instance type.

Try opening the inspection panel in your browser and disabling CSS, you should be able to do this in both chrome and Firefox. This should be able to at least get you back to the page where you can edit the css and fix it.

No but once the magazine/community has been created it doesn't really matter which instance it lives on because any user from any instance can post, comment and mod in that magazine.

My favorite things about this whole debacle is how transparent they're being about how the plan the whole time was to actually just hope we would keep giving them content and moderating for free forever so they could package it up and sell it to wall street. And not just them but all social media companies seem to think this will just work and nobody will mind.

Oh you built this community through your own time moderating, posting, upvoting and commenting? Cool we're gonna sell it to Vanguard for a few billy and pocket the profits! And, here's a list of approved content you're allowed to post now. Hard pass bro nobody cares about your IPO when we built your company.

Well good for them, they can have a lot of fun paying reddit staff to be the mods now.
