Lol thank you for making that, I had that meme in mind while I was writing that reply.

I mean, I do have RGB lights but it’s not because I’m a software engineer. I’m just a dork.

Same here. My cat’s only about 9 months old (adopted at 4mo) but so far he’s been good about keeping the rough housing down to light nipping and grabbing me without claws. Accidents happen of course, but every cat I’ve had in my life has had a similar temperament during playtime.

This is just typical Lemmy. User doesn’t read the article but has very strong opinions based on what they imagine it to be about. Comment gets upvoted by a bunch of other users who also didn’t read the article but imagine they know what happened too. Rinse and repeat.

It’s a proprietary platform … what do people expect?

It’s visiting someone’s business and you are in their property and you are watching TV on their TV set. You are reading newspapers and books that are on their property. And everyone acts surprised when the property owner keeps track of what you watched and what you read on their property.

You have no rights to do anything on their property … other than the rights they give you, which they can also take away, or just kick you out.

Are you under the impression that Facebook owns Snapchat? Because they don’t. Nothing about this little “blame people for using proprietary services” rant is actually relevant to what happened. At all.

You should read the article because you clearly didn’t. Hell, all you’d have to do is read the first paragraph to understand they were spying on the users of a competitor.

The article suggested it was a bug, not me. My use of it was only in reference to the article so it’s not a point I’m going to defend.

I agree. There’s also just no reason to give Meta the benefit of the doubt here. Bug or not they’ve done nothing to earn such a charitable response from anyone.

Two of my favorite things. Cats and The Simpsons. Now that’s what I call a cromulent post!

They also can’t afford any bad press right now. They already pushed back the IPO by months due to the fall out from killing 3rd party apps so it’d be a really stupid move to ban WSB now. The time to do it was nine months ago when it wouldn’t have mattered because they were already up to their necks in bad press. It’s not like they haven’t been aware that WSB’s would try to fuck with their IPO this whole time.

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It’s extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.

Also, shoutout to the [email protected] community!

The article in the reddit post you shared is misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he got roughly $792,000 in performance-based bonuses. The rest of that 193 million is options.

Yeah, I saw that article too but it’s misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he received about $792,000 in performance-based cash bonus. The rest of that 193 million is options. It’s not the reason reddit isn’t profitable.

lol reddit’s automated AEO is already notoriously dogshit, trying to replace human moderation with AI would be a fucking disaster. So I say do it spez. I double dare you!

One fine day with a woof and a purr
A baby was born and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog
Just a feline canine little CatDog

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Out on the road or back in town
All kinda critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together gotta sing this song

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Oh awesome, glad to hear it’s already in the works! I do hope it gets prioritized though. User privacy and security is important.

Made sure that blocking an instance also hides private messages from their users, to prevent harassment.

How about the ability to disable PMs entirely? (With exceptions for local instance admins)

I can assure you, there will never be a scenario where I welcome an unsolicited PM from another user.

Hack the planet!

Yes, it’s real. The post was made today on the official Merriam-Webster instagram account. Both terms are used. Destruction is just more modern.
