“When the Reddit admins figured out that a large portion of the site is now bots”

In foreign languages like in French, there was a trend, launched by the admins themselves. It was to replicate English communities by translating the posts. It was obvious that it was dumb automated translations since there were cultural references that could not be translated. I know it because I was the owner of such a community and it was sad. My small community had a spirit. After the bots, the community was bland.

1 Tb of source code ?! Is this really this long or are there all the assets too (musics, textures, 3D models…) ?

In the news, 5.000 years later : “Scientists warned that our mass extraction of hydrogen may produce global salinization, but no one wants to reduce its energy consumption.”

And Reddit killed phpBB (kind of).
And phpBB killed the newsgroups.
Etc.

You are right. Convenience killed the previous “protocol”.

And there was r/gadget . Funny thing, I went from r/technology to r/gadget for the same reason : r/technology was 90% business news

From my experience, it depends on the instance. Sometimes, one instance of Piped will not work, but another will be OKish.

My kids don’t have a phone number and I would be glad we could use Signal.

I live in France and there are lots of brands that are exactly like Nutella, or even more tasty. Nutella is cheaper yet.

Glues for ceramic are epoxy resin.

I loved Edge when it was a browser.

Now it’s a trojan to make you use Microsoft services that you don’t want to use.

Thanks! I can wait!

And that sounds like a much lower quality car.

It’s way more practical than a Tesla. Whatever, the Berlingo model now starts at 39.000€ (EV only). That’s twice the price I bought mine. My salary has not doubled in 10 years.

That’s… expensive ? The last car I bought new was 17.000€ (12 years ago, a Citroën Berlingo).

The model 3 in Europe is 43.000€.

The price of these cars gets me depressed.

No, that’s not that clear for the moment.

Let me explain the French case :

• Webedia is a big company that owns most of the famous French websites (jeuxvideo.com , etc.). All these websites have cookie walls with an alternative : a paid subsription. What they say, is that the website is now accessible with subscription only. However, if you accept cookies, you’ll get a discount (free access).
• The CNIL (a big French governemental entity) tried to forbid this. If someone reports a website, it’s for this entity to take action. There is no need to report Webedia, the CNIL knows already :-)
• The Conseil d’Etat (juridical entity of the French gov) said that “non”, it’s OK for Webedia to use such paywalls. The CNIL can’t forbid Webedia to use them.
• The CNIL asked the jusrists at the European level… here we are. We still don’t know.

Here is a French website where the CNIL explains this :

There are multiple French websites that do this. It is legal (otherwise these websites would not do this anymore, it’s been a while).
There is a popup asking you if you consent to get cookies (for advertisement). If you say “no”, it leads you to another popup with two choices :

• Change your decision and accept cookies
• Pay for a premium service without advertisements

Aviation is now mostly full automatic. On the otehr hand, there are tons of beacons to help it.

That’s a great idea to have these comments for the posterity.
To my lawyer in the future :

“Everything I could have wrote in reddit about pirating was a lie to get upvotes. Don’t take any of it seriously.”
