Wow this felt uncomfortable to watch. I feel like I was extra primed by Tom from the start though haha...

Thankfully I have never missed a flight, but one time for a moment I thought I had.

When I purchase tickets and get an email from the airline, gmail will summarize the flight details at the top of the mail. So it adds a blurb on top that isn't part of the actual mail. It usually works but one time it set the departure date as the date I received my email, not the departure date in the contents of the email.

For a moment I thought I had messed up when ordering the tickets, but reading the contents calmed me down.

I'll NEVER EVER trust that feature again.

Big if true. But probably not true...

I think communities like these are extra useful on the Fediverse given the more fractured nature.

I didn't bother watching it when I learned they weren't gonna use practical effects for the black hole

This would be a fair limit. You would be limited by certain conservation laws, but as long as you would provide an adequate energy source (say, like Flash, you had to eat a lot more food) it could still be useful.

Nah but I haven't logged in yet. I will probably delete it at some point but leave the comments up. I'm fine with leaving whatever value I have contributed on Reddit. It's their website and they own the content I willfully added. But I won't contribute more.

I agree that it is a sobering number. I don't expect Reddit to die by losing 7%, but that number probably represents a very large absolute number, some of which is directed at alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin. If a threshold has now been passed (which I think it has) and the alternatives are/will offer a better solution, then in time Reddit may be in trouble.

For me the "win" since the start of the black out has been whether alternatives can be legitimized.
