Disturbing to his profits.
Disturbing to his profits.
Someone in the comments mentioned that apparently Reddit will be adding a tip ‘feature’ instead of awards for US users. So I’m happy I decided to quit Reddit.
Oh I also forgot to mention that this might make Reddit more business friendly for community amas. Where without gold downvoted comments won’t appear to casual users. Think that Blizzard comment that has heaps of awards/gold but a record number of downvotes. This could make it easier for Reddit to hide controversial comments or more attractive for companies to engage with Reddit communities if they know their shit corporate pr comments will just hidden by downvotes.
Twitter has many problems that makes it’s hard for it to generate profit. Sure Musk’s ‘free-speech’ twitter has made it worse but I think twitter has struggled with profit generation since day one (I think it had a few good years recently before Musk took over) and the prevalence of porn didn’t help.
Threads moderation may be puritan but it is advertiser friendly. And as long as the millions of active accounts stay engaged it looks like a much better alternative than twitter for advertisers.
I wonder if the harsh content moderation guidelines were a strategic decision by Meta to make a Twitter alternative that’s actually financially sustainable. Assuming that twitter struggled with advertisers because of their lax approach to moderation (especially porn).
The article doesn’t even provide enough detail to make an informed decision if this is a problem or not. They state 45% of layoffs in the tech industry were women, then only contrast with Metas 63% male workforce to get to the conclusion that women were more affected by the layoffs. Without noting if metas male dominant workforce is on to high or low side for the industry.
Then the article goes on to explain that the positions most affected were the traditionally female dominated roles, HR, recruitment, etc. (I.e., the non “tech” roles that one would expect tech companies to inherently value less as a core part of their business).
This isn’t to say the tech industry isn’t male dominated, doesn’t have issues with recruiting and retaining women in tech roles, etc. I just wanted to know more about this and was left with more questions be because the framing of the article is so poor.
It seems like an extension of what I’d call the casualisation of language that we’re going through. It seems similar to what happened to “legitimate” a while ago, where now it’s meaning has been diluted to the point that it’s usage in the general population has changed.
I don’t think it’s specifically good or bad but it does make it harder for neurodivergent individuals to interpret others (which obviously is bad, but in general words changing meaning/being used differently isn’t good or bad).
Idk I got the base game on 50% discount a year or so after it came out I think. I honestly had a good time playing it. Like it for sure over sold and under delivered if you preordered it. Not to mention the buggy unplayableness of it at launch. But I feel like I still got my money’s worth.
And I’ll probably do the same thing with the dlc. If it looks like it’s being updated regularly to fix bugs then I’ll buy it later.
Why is everything to do with this story completely unsurprising.
As others have said it depends on the cause. But something to think about is that if you’re an office worker or sit in a chair for long periods your core/abs are probably weak. This could lead to lower back pain. Strengthening these muscles (core/abs) might help as they support your spine as well.
Obviously this will take time and won’t immediately reduce pain but could stop it reoccurring.
So this is an appeal to Wagner mercenaries to desert or to overthrow Prigozhin as leader of Wagner?
Seems reddit admins have taken a “get in line or get lost” approach to their volunteer mods. Let’s see how that works out for them.
That second to last paragraph seems fair. Don’t support terrorist organisations or do a hate crime (assuming a fair interpretation of the law) but support the people of Palestine. Reasonable approach.
