Yeah, but you also put together an argument that addressed the key issue.

You’re right, it has gotten worse. Thanks for providing the appropriate evidence.

It seems like the commenter has been a thorn in your side.

I described a shift over time and your rebuttal was arguing over a single point in time.

I feel more like we’re in a golden age where people can express their stupidity with a larger microphone they were ever given before.

And as much as people complain about the stupidity of people, the population is probably the most literate and productive in human history. We’re just seeing people use a new tool poorly when that use would not have been recorded previously.

Wikipedia has an imperfect process, but it is open to review and you can see how the sausage is made. It isn’t perfect, but the best we have.

Windows 10 reset a lot of UI from 8 to 7 that a lot of users wanted. Some changes were added, but the muscle memory learned since 95 could be used with little modification. Windows 11 broke a lot of those workflows without providing anything better on the higher end of usability.

I agree that 10 started adding things that people don’t like about 11, but 11 actively broke things that people liked about 10.

To the point where genetics is a rounding error is big news.

I’m surprised New Jersey isn’t on the list.

So how long will it take for someone to find something in sharia law that is in Alabama’s state laws?

She also has a decent set of songs built around her coming to grips with that her unhappiness may be more due to herself than others.

She also seems like an aspirational version of a lot of women.

Taylor Swift is also one of the top pop artists of all time.

It is also important to note that Taylor Swift has a very different relationship to her marketing department compared with other artists.

Most artists have agreements with existing agencies and may not have full control over their work. Taylor Swift, in contrast, built a marketing group with the some focus on marketing her. Taylor controls her marketing team entirely, and with that control comes responsibility.

The Fifth Republic is inherently flawed. It creates two executives that come about from two different democratic mandates.

You also don’t have a political tradition of separation of powers which allows for some presidential autonomy in selecting political appointments in France. The French President is trying to assert his presidential right in selecting appointees from his party and the French Parliament is asserting tradition that the Prime Minister should be chosen by the largest coalition in Parliament.

Comics had give through a lot of cancellations and were starting to pull together. So, when Chappelle started being anti-trans, the comedy community was already primed to fight back.

Also, Chappelle seems like a generous comedian in bringing people up. So, he probably has deep roots in the comedy community.

The recent vaccine hearing didn’t go so well for RFK Jr.

Probably.

1. One of the two major employers of programmers, tech companies, have significantly curtailed future development of their products as the cost/benefit ratio isn’t worth it. That isn’t projected to change in the near future.

2. Companies that have full WFH are no longer constrained by office location in hunting for talent. A Bay Area programmer now has to compete with someone in Tulsa or Mexico City, which have far lower costs of living.

3. AI slop will probably get good enough to do basic tasks. So, companies who only need a little programming talent may be able to get by on shitty AI code instead of hiring a second or third developer.

That’s just a normal day in Alaska.

The powermods arent bringing anything unique moderation except a network that allows them to control content for a specific audience.

It depends who. There are some that build tools and procedures for handling large forums. They may also share best practices across different subs.

As for controlling content, it isn’t like a corporation or political group can’t create 20 accounts and take over subs. That’s already happened on Reddit.

Its overall a good thing but the powermods will be replaced with reddit admins doing the ame

Or sock puppet accounts. Banning the current set of mods without a plan on who replaces them doesn’t fix the problem.
