"Once she's healthy enough, we can execute her again!"

A classic Orange Joe.

I always thought the whole "state-mandated GF" meme meant that single women would be rounded up and handed out to incels, which isn't quite the same thing as matchmaking. That, and that it was a meme advocated for only by the fringes of the fringe.

Look at the bright side: other companies that want to do this will be discouraged by having to pay Microsoft a royalty until the patent expires in 20 years

Three things happened:

1. RedReader did get a free api key for being accessible for screen readers. All the other third party apps got left in the dust.

2. The people who were seriously mad came here. Lemmy was still a bit of a ghost town before these protests, and it was around this time that it gained enough traction to be a viable platform imo.

3. The people that didn't leave got waited out by reddit and went back.

There's lots of things he could have been concerned about. The president can direct people to commit crimes and then pardon them for the crimes committed on his behalf, and that's ignoring more novel legal theories about pardons, like issuing preemptive pardons or self-pardons. Article 5 places little restrictions on what amendments can be made. One could imagine a dictatorship being established under the pretext of a constitutional convention packed with supporters of the dictator and ratified under state conventions similarly packed.

It's a sign you don't post enough. This includes myself.

It happened to PC games. Sure, Steam will do a big sale twice a year, but you hear about people with massive libraries of games that they've never played and can't get rid of. In ye olden times, they'd be in the game shop used bin.

Realistically, who would even buy Windows Lite? What advantage would it have over regular Windows AND Linux systems?

We can call it transrealism.

Of all the reddit replacements, Lemmy has the most staying power because of its federated nature. It's not dependent on a single source of administration or funding. Voat, for example, went to shit because it ended up full of Nazis that got ran off of reddit and then they ran out of money. While this same fate could potentially befall any individual Lemmy instance, the platform as a whole can react and continue.
