Hijacking to pose another legacy piracy question. My dad would often buy pirated DVDs at the barbershop. You know, with the sharpeid title on the disk. Occasionally we would get a DVD with an unfinished movie in it. It would often have a watermark saying something like “Property of Universal “ and some scenes, especially CG heavy ones, would be incomplete. I assume these were leaked from editing houses or the sort but is this a type of release that’s seen in modern pirating?

So far I have made two friends two play the entire Portal 2 campaign while I watched just so I can get a hit of the drug one more time

Seriously, i was just on a plane that was stuck on the tarmac for around 20 minutes and the plane was super hot (thanks Phoenix) and I thought I was going to freak out at some point. Also made me realize I should really have a bottle of water with me on every flight

I think VCs are idiots… so yes.

You say investors see lots of active users who actively hate the site and don’t see future growth.

I think they see a lot of users who say they hate the site but despite that they still use the site and the numbers continue to grow. To me that sounds like a dependent user base that even through hard times continues to grow.

“Oh no, anyways…”

Says the Reddit execs as they show off their numbers to VCs as they prepare for their IPO

Well stop doing your part. Stop interacting with Reddit. They are almost certainly doing Place right now just to boost their numbers and you’re falling for it

People should also remember that it costs money for these servers to exist. So if you enjoy using it, try to support the service by donating to your instance, contributing to open source projects, spreading the gospel, etc.

 
 

Not a YouTube premium subscriber but I used to be able to watch videos in PiP but ever since updating to the iOS 17 beta, that no longer works. I’ve checked that both PiP settings in YouTube and iOS are enabled.
