I cancelled back on the first price hike they did. Just wasn’t enough for the handful of times I used it per year. They had me at the point where I kinda didn’t care I was paying, but the price hike gave me a wake up call. Since then they’ve continued to up the prices and I’ve continued to not give a shit. Netflix originally won me back from bothering to pirate stuff cause it was so good and easy, now the opposite is true in the streaming space.

Mine took almost three weeks. Was sat in customs for days and then out for delivery for three days because my address was labelled incorrectly.

Also known as toothpaste and chocolate.

Go to the gym. Running on the treadmill listening to an audiobook is great I can just zone into the book.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos “digging” into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

Easy to do because that’s how it’s pronounced.

Us (humans) vs. Them (aliens)

Didn’t he have some brain injury?

I read that book after reading The Blacktongue Thief, really enjoyed them both, but Between Two Fires was a dark tale of misery.

Wait, I can redeem cash prizes?!?

Jonathan Keeble is great. I loved his reading of the Saxon Stories series (The Last Kingdom). I’m currently listening to the Warhammer Gotrek & Felix series, which he brings his great range of voices to as well.

Bonus note: He voiced Maliketh in Elden Ring and Lord Rydell in the Demon’s Souls remake.

Excellent! I’m in.

Reddit is far too recognizable of a name to die. Myspace still exists today, as does Digg. It may have peaked and shifted from its original vibe, and will continue to shift, but with it it’ll still live on as the investors try to figure out ways to claw back their money.

I’m sure in ten years time you’ll be able to visit reddit.com and be fed some cleansed ad friendly news feeds snuggled between ads, pointing you to content funded by marketing money. Just go to Digg right now and you’ll see it.

I recently told a friend about it having read it back when it came out. I’ve since lost my copy, but said friend arrived with one a few weeks ago as a gift. I’m looking forward to diving back into the insanity of it again. It’s a page turner, and twister, and rotator.

Switching song lyrics for immature lines.

I’ve seen it talked about a few times across different platforms (Hackernews) where people have pondered the idea of cloning old posts, keeping the poster name but to a non-existent account. Acting as both a way to populate a community and archive content away from Reddit’s control.

I haven’t seen any examples of this done yet, not sure if anyone has.

I think it’s better for everyone if we can find a way where one entity can no longer own/control the contributions of a community and unpaid moderation.

What can Reddit possibly do now to ensure that it won’t act in a way that’s against the interests of the community? Reverse the API strategy? They already said this year that the API wasn’t changing, then they changed it. If I was an app maker there’s zero chance I’d trust anything they said now. It’s done.

Lemmy has some momentum now with the rush of new users. This will hopefully start to create some quality content. When the next wave of protests come, maybe after the 30th, hopefully those that come to seek a new home will find these places filled more with the kind of content they expect, along with some UI improvements and stability that people are feverishly working on right now.

I started reading this a few years back and I was kind of enjoying it but found that I dropped it and never went back. I think there was something about the writing rather than the plot that wasn’t holding me. It’s something I’ve been thinking about going back to but have always prioritized other books.

I’d be interested to hear from people that have read it to say it’s worth it and pays off.
