At the debate his (painted) skin was literally a darker shade than Harris's.

Sounds like you're shadowbanned.

Lichess.org is the best website to play and study chess on, hands down, and it's entirely Libre/FOSS, with zero ads or trackers (e. g. read here: https://lichess.org/about).

Billionaires are a scourge of humanity.

Thanks for the correction! That's a nice bit of additional trivia which I wasn't aware of even though I've seen the tea party cartoon a thousand times. :)

Here it is, for reference: https://assets.amuniversal.com/9ed15af0deb801317193005056a9545d

Welcome to the Calvin & Hobbes universe! Hobbes is shown as a stuffed animal anytime a human other than Calvin is in the picture.

Original art (paintings and sculptures) by local artists. They csn be checked out for three months at a time. It's really nice to have some original art in your home even if it it's not by a big name.

Also, I can easily access most of my country's important newspapers' online articles that are normally behind a paywall.

Ok granted, that may be true. I wouldn't be able to tell as I left in June '23 and never looked back. But from what I read about the protests back then, I seem to remember that only few subs had to have their mod team replaced by Reddit. I think if more mod teams of big subs had been willing to call it quits as a team, the disruption could have been bigger.

In the end though, I don't know if any form of protest can be effective in this kind of situation as Reddit holds all the cards, and if they are dead set on enshittifying, nothing will stop them. What mods and users should do is just walk out.

Effective how? Reddit went through with everything they had planned. It could have been an effective form of protesting if more mods had actually been willing to leave the site or at least their modding job for good.

Libgen and scihub have done more for science than any of those shitty journal publishers.

True. But it's still three men named in the list of Nobel Prize winners, when a woman first made the actual discoveries. So even if there was no foulplay, it's important to shine a light on women like Franklin.
