Meanwhile, Nintendo be like "we are pleased with the Switch and have no plans" lol

Same. And acquiring both is still more affordable than a high end gaming PC.

Did you ever go to candystand.com? Basically the king of flash/shockwave games.

Great band, and their stuff from the 90s is completely different from the style they ended up being known for later.

I find it very strange how much Russia relies on this mercenary group. I know there are other groups like this in the West (I'm mainly thinking about Blackwater), but Wagner seems many orders of magnitude larger and more powerful, seemingly rivaling Russia's own military itself.

I'm surprised that someone as notoriously paranoid as Vladimir Putin has allowed this man to gather so much power, and indeed, his own personal army. Putin will probably still come out on top, but this is going to hurt him tremendously in the PR arena.

It's funny how Reddit rarely if ever has stepped in to reign in actual problematic mods in the past, instead just encouraging people to create their own subreddit if they don't like how it's being run.

But now, they suddenly change their tune, and spout this sentimental blather about how mods are "stewards" and "in a position of trust", and now they will solemnly respond with "next steps" if mods don't open these important communities. Their arguments are totally incoherent.

Wow, Reddit really has so many professional people working for them.

Yeah, honestly I just realized today that I haven't been on Reddit at all for anything all week. I've been on Lemmy (on a few different instances ever since this all started, but I'm finally feeling comfortable and not tempted to check Reddit at all.

Huffman’s public reactions to Redditors’ outrage haven’t helped. While he once appeared even-keeled yet decisive while dealing with online mobs, he appears to have alienated a far wider swath of users by coming off as hard-nosed, condescending, and stubborn.

This is the big thing that is different this time around, to me. His behavior, towards the community and towards developers, has become more aggressive amd openly hostile. I don't know if his earlier "saving Reddit" moments emboldened him to the point of arrogance, or what.

It wasn't sympathy for the passengers that made the story interesting to me. It was the absolute shamelessness with which that CEO disregarded safety, fired people who tried to make it safe, cut corners, lied to reporters about "partnering with Boeing" (they debunked it today), and on and on.

The guy was a huge piece of shit, and I hope that his company gets sued into oblivion so that some sort of precedent is set for other companies that try to use international waters for their malfeasance.

That's what needs to change. If there was enough support internationally, the UN could facilitate a treaty being signed between nations with uniform regulations on submersibles. Then it wouldn't matter if it was international waters.

As part of the silent majority of Jerboa users, thank you for everything you do. I appreciate all your work on the app beyond words. Its so awesome.
