Yes, watching the implosion. But there’s nothing implosive about this move. Hence, ‘don’t sweat the small stuff.’

They’re not shooting themselves in the foot again. It’s just an administrative function, moving on with what remains of their business, like paying their electric bill.

And here’s a friendly observation. Telling others what they should do comes across as grandiose.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s dead. Let it go.

The discomboulator is that the changes could have been had without need of a scapegoat.

It took a shocking amount of arrogance and contempt for the builders of that playground (the ‘little people’ who made this all possible) to so badly foul such a simple thing.

And opening the mouth only to change feet.

Extraordinary failure. One for the history books.

I volunteer admin my own public service gig elsewhere, >10 years x 365 days. It requires some diligence to try and prevent scammers and fraud - there’s a bit more at stake than just memes. It don’t pay much, but it’s honest work.jpg

I appreciate that people keep up the groups I follow just for amusement. And I’m definitely not looking to put those mods out of a job. I know it’s work, and I appreciate those who do it.

I’ve wondered since the grumbling started why people weren’t establishing their subs elsewhere, even if just a place holder.

I have an ethical conundrum. There were a couple subs I liked. I didn’t like spaz’ off-putting move. But when I learned of deddit’s treatment of a mod, I’d seen enough.

I moved here and setup a landing place for the members of one sub to land. It was not ‘my’ sub. I didn’t start or mod it. But I wanted it to continue. Not much has happened with it. And the founder, whom I DMed, hasn’t come over afaik.

Another sub I liked was still dark when I left, and can’t find any indication of it restarting elsewhere.

I don’t want to step on toes or steal anybody’s sub or the credit due. I also don’t want those groups to die.

What’s The Right Thing to DO?

I left, deleted my account and any comments of value. The place is dead to me. It’s incomprehensible why people are still there being butthurt about it. They haven’t been kidnapped. There’s no guy at the door with a gun who’s suggesting they not leave.

There’s nothing new, no surprises. Abusive people, who treat others poorly (spoiler!), will abuse and treat people poorly. Why hang with that?

It’s like they’re addicted to the free buffet. But the only thing being served lately is shit sandwiches.

Well… bon apetit ya diehards.

A sucker’s born every minute.

“I’m sorry I hit you baby. I won’t do it again. And this is a chance for us to reflect on why you deserved it.”

Okay!

By pwning the three branches of government and, therefore, the regulatory environment.

Ignorance makes her confident. But one can’t be so charitable about the company’s fraud.

Good ol’ Elon… delivering the coup de grâce.

Is Pipe operating like a VPN, scrubbing viewer data from Youtube?

It’s the recognition that counts. :)

They’re TRYING to make a sale, here. Do you mind?

Indeed, I was. I’d lost the plot, thought the commenter above you had bought an inkjet. Thanks for the clarification.

Because people will pay a lot for it. Go figure.

Or you could just throw it in the trash, get a laser, and enjoy trouble free printing. No offense.

I’m still on the factory toner cartridges after 15 - 18 years. They’re refillable, as are the replacements.

Or they may be good for one print, depending on how frequently the printer is used.

Install a new cartridge, print one page, wait a year before trying to print again and you’ll need a new cartridge.

It’s a no-brainer why they practically give those things away.

I’ve reclaimed many a PC for folks like you described. So clogged with bloatware, trackers, adware, etc., that the machines could hardly run. Just excruciatingly slow experiences for their owners. Most folks don’t know anything about machines or software. Microsoft’s dominance illustrates the point.

Folks go ignorantly (no offense) where they’re told. They just don’t know better and get prayed upon as a result.

Every one of them knows things I don’t. It’s just that computers are a black box to them.
