Doesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.

Is the word archive used in place of achieve? I’m not sure if there is a terminology issue that I don’t understand in this post…

Yeah? I saw a homeless guy shit into the storm drain the other day. I’ll send you the picture… since it’s so culturally important

By that measure, the benches on my local sidewalks are of cultural importance.

You can spew ads and shit wherever they’ll let you, doesn’t enrich the environment by default.

I get what you mean, but I’m still unconvinced of Reddit as a meaningful platform.

The only people I’ve ever known who actually thought Reddit ever really mattered was people in the HN sphere. Anecdata, but still. In terms of value per minute spent, it’s the same tier of slop as TikTok or Instagram, and I think most ordinary people hold that same view.

Complete assclown behavior throughout. It would be one thing if this had been going for for a month or two, maybe a quarter or two… but ten years?! They’re clearly fucking you over out of either malice and/or incompetence, and by allowing it to go on, you’re politely enabling them to do this bad behavior to someone else’s business.

If you feed stray dogs, you end up with a neighborhood full of dogshit everywhere you step. Bill them; if they don’t pay, talk to an attorney.

I would argue that’s a driver to my point. How many people are never going to visit the source website when Llama can give me a detailed summary of what I need in a few hundred milliseconds? I would consider that in the same category of forgotten. I could’ve been more clear in my other comment.

Most people visit the same half dozen websites over and over anyways. Websites are eventually going to be an artifact of an old medium as we move to like cybernetics and AR glasses and brain implants and whatever else. All that stuff in websites will be forgotten

All posts not fellating Rust are eventually flagged here. It’s not really a neutral venue for more academic conversations about PLT.

I mostly discuss politics. I’ve talked about some technology stuff on there too, but it’s easily 95% politics.

Bluesky is riddled with pornography, even with the strictest settings enabled. I genuinely don’t feel comfortable scrolling any of the curated feeds in a public place except for my direct “Following” only feed.

Not sure how big of a priority this is for the team that runs it, but I would probably use it 20x more if it was ran competently.

In the context of taxes and tax enforcement, I have no choice but to assume you are being intentionally obtuse as to what I mean by “fair share”

Realistically? Taxes and tax enforcement. That’s really the only consistent and persistent way to change the incentives of the world’s economies. In most developed economies, the ultra wealthy are able to avoid paying their fair share, and the same goes for large corporations as well.

Without fairness, there’s really no easy way to talk about strategy.

Remember: every comment on here is implicitly directed to dang, and every link is implicitly approved of by dang.

This is really his website at this point. The rules are mainly just his tools for shaping the content of discussions and submissions to his liking.

A decade ago it was different. I mean, he was still way overbearing and biased, but I don’t think it really had the same power-steering effect on the shapes of discussions as it does today. Over time, this is where we’ve come to.
