Good. Super-fast growth fucks with local internet culture. Look at what happened to reddit when digg died.

I blame Digg for failing. It increased Reddit’s popularity too fast, which was a bad thing bringing too many people, fucking up the culture reddit had built (which wasn’t much, but it was ours).
It’s a containment site; has been for a while.
We used to say that people who made vertical videos had Vertical Video Syndrome. It was a terrible time.
This blog is my favorite Linux blog!
I love Robert and his YT antics - his whole “The X command is my favourite Linux command!” shtick was both funny AND informative!
XP file search was slow as shit.
Everything for life! (locate
(package: mlocate
; run updatedb
to get the initial load) for terminal on Linux, or I just use find
)
Windows 10 is RIP October 2025 anyway, so might as well.
Smarter than Zork, worse than a human. Faster response times than humans though.
Programming.dev represent! o7
She ignored community feedback (I want customized channels back!) and turned YouTube into the dopamine riddled mess it is today.
Still, fuck cancer. My condoleances to her survivors.
SmarterEveryDay is nice too, though that’s more focused on engineering stuff.
The older generation survived 4chan and worse. We’ll be fine.
Wendell is a leftist. His current newest video has him say that.

I like their future (so far).
You didnt say he was wrong though.
Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.
One of the saner reasons for this structure is that the non-profit owns the things the for-profit works on. If the for-profit goes under, all things are still owned by the non-profit, so some large tech company can’t swoop in and yoink anything available.
This includes any and all data generated by the for-profit, which means your data is “safe”.
This is why we have journalists - worst case, take this information to some newspaper, who will likely LOVE to poke the bear.
OK, maybe that’s a little idealistic, but at least you can try, eh?
Soon, Firefox can block ads better than Chrome. Ads are annoying. I see Chrome losing at least a 5% of the market, if not more, to Firefox, just because they’re going to break uBlock Origin, and Firefox isn’t.

Because there’s going to be kids around here who have never seen this port (other than maybe on a Point Of Sale (POS) system?)
Wild that Reddit’s creation is closer to the start of the Eternal September than it is to today (19 years).
