‘Alarming’ Ocean Temperatures Suggest This Hurricane Season Will Be a Daunting One
  • What do I think happens to people? <shrug> Considering it's the internet, and my comment was tangential enough to the topic that I didn't think I'd need to write an essay because someone got their feefees hurt after baking in the sun too long.

    I'll make sure to donate to a life-vest or pool-floaty fund or something to make up for it.

  • Wow, you sure got butthurt. Too bad I didn't say anything about the people in Florida, they're more than welcome to live somewhere more sensible, say... on actual land, rather than a sandbar and a bit of hole-y limestone. But feel free to go down with the sandy ship you call home if you want. You can find me up the hill a little ways, laughing.

  • r/BotDefense is shutting down - I hope Reddit likes spam and malicious actors
  • I reported a bunch of spam-link bots, porn-bots posting CSAM-adjacent stuff, and a slew of stuff that was very obviously and blatantly in violation of Reddit ToS.

    All the links/content remained and my account got suspended for "abusing the report function". Considering the content I reported, it's a safe guess that Reddit admin and moderation teams benefit from having such material on the site. Not sure how, or why. But their actions seem to indicate something.

    Then you look at the controversies Reddit has had... that one dude's suicide, Ghislaine Maxwell holding a powermod position on front-page subs, the powermod controversy wherein a dozen or so mods had thousands of subreddits under their control.

    There's also been a huge attitude shift. While most of it seems the same, there's a very strong anti-American presence now that seems to make sure they fit that sentiment into every thread whether it's justified, related, or completely out of place.

    The Reddit algorithms or whatever also seem to love pushing certain topics to the point of stripping it of any/all meaning and turning into propaganda.

  • New space RPG from Mass Effect veteran takes a hard sci-fi approach to FTL travel, and that means there's nothing that can save you from the ravages of time
  • While it sounds kind of gimmicky, the Time Dilation bit seems like it has a lot of potential. One aspect of a lot of open-world games that always gave me a "That's absolutely ridiculous" kind of chuckle is being able to slaughter all of the NPCs, walk away, and when you come back it's as though nothing happened.

    It'd be neat to see that my murder-hobo rampage in 2030 has consequences later down the road in 2230 or something. Maybe I murdered the great-great grandmother of a quest NPC that changes how that bit goes...

  • Super Mario Maker’s “final boss” was a fraud all along
  • Misleading title; SMM's "final" level creator came right out and said it was a trolling joke they let go a little too far. And also acknowledged the person who completed the non-troll "final" SMM level.

  • The Switch Will NEVER be the Same: Nintendo Switch Dumper Review
  • <shrug> I support things being hackable, dumpable, flashable, whatever. I also support piracy. But those two aren't as interlinked as you want them to be.

    Hacking because it's ownership. Do what you want with the things that you own. Piracy because fuck 'em. That's what happens when you make everything digital - it becomes much, much easier to acquire for free.

  • Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
  • These browser wars are funny. It's not like you have a real choice anyways. You get either some sort of Chrome, with it's various problems. Or you get some sort of Firefox... which has it's own host of issues. The rest of the competition is so far behind that it'd take a miracle for them to enter the mainstream.

    Shilling for any particular browser is pathetic.

  • Florp, the Firefox fork with an awful name, is fully source-available again
  • "Boohoo, people used my publicly available source to do their own thing and now I'm mad and want to get paid".

    That's the gist of the article. Dev got butthurt that his project didn't take off and blames "forking".
