Haha marketing is what it is... a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone...

So yes, you're right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.

The logic of gay couples or single people not buying houses is astounding...

There are a couple of things here... firstly you're thinking about him being with someone else - that's not just a 'breakup', that's worse.

Anyway, I found relaxing to be difficult so I went out and did stuff - also I just met lots of friends and tried not to be on my own. During my last breakup, I had someone to meet every day after work for a week - and that put some distance which made it easier.

So really, it's not just me that found him to be producing smarmy and careless content? My first views were of his various challenges - where they consistently 'proved' that people can't do things in an OS that they don't have experience with, which means they'd be better off doing it in a much worse OS that they used since they were kids - and therefore it's better.

I really liked Nexus's video - though it didn't help me as I wouldn't waste time on LTT. I don't like or trust these coroporate video mills, any more than I trust Google/Youtube - they don't give a toss as long as the money flows and they didn't get sued.

Old news - she was taking Omega 3 capsules. Omega 3 comes from fish oil, and helps your brain develop, thus enhancing your intelligence and possibly making you more 'arty'.

The competition refuses to accept photos enhanced by arty fish-oil intelligence.

r/linux is turning into a noob subreddit where people copy and paste rule #1 (no support, it isn't a support forum) and then try to offer support because nothing else is going on.

You know, the way you tell your cat to get off the table by giving it a nice piece of chicken and telling the cat it can't get chicken by coming to the table again.

I disagree.

Realism is better.

Nothing worse than positivity "switch to Linux - you can do anything you like" gets followed up with "Now I installed it, and I can't make it do anything I want" leading to anger.

Just invite folks to join, and patiently explain how stuff works...

Better still, have a direct link to threads on Lemmy.

Great news.

I only ever used Reddit in Firefox on desktop anyway - but now I use it a whole lot less (maybe just one reply per day trolling people with interesting posts they'd be better posting here).

Lemmy is a shit-show... but it's OUR shit-show and we'll adjust, and clever people will develop.

Lemmies

Lemmings

I could just log in to BeeHaw...

protest isn't really a big deal.

The big deal comes when people work to do the same thing on other platforms.

• Then we'll find out what Reddit is really good for.

Oh, and Quora, and Google, and Meta, and Twitter.

Remember, do it in Firefox - not Chrome.

Haha. This is where the Fediverse can take over if people don't take the piss.

Some years ago, my favourite tracker (The Box) went kaput - and I've known many others go down due to various issues - one of which is usually financial strains.

So people can donate - for someone earning 300 a week, it'd be trivial to throw 30 in the pot just one time in a year...

So sure, To be valued by Reddit, you must pay $50 per year - and if you don't, then you're not a customer, you're a commodity. Creators do so because they feel compelled to create and share, Mods do so because they have a personal need to contribute whether they get paid or not.

So the ONLY answer is to say 'Sure, we'll carry on - but it's clear we aren't valued by Reddit - so we'll do it outside'.
