    It will make me quit Reddit on Mobile and as long as old reddit is there I'll use it on my desktop. New reddit is useless to me, I really tried to use it but it's awful.

    I'll keep using on my Desktop as long as old Reddit is there. By the look of it it may be next on the chopping block. On mobile though, Reddit is dead to me.

    And FYI, for the people playing Blizzard games, you can start their games by starting the "Switcher" executable that exists in the Support64 folder without having to start their shitty launcher (which is still mandatory for updates).

    Yup. Otherwise you'll have recaptcha on every page you want to access. They want to own our lives on the Internet and it seems they are going to get away with it. Google is turning more and more...

    Yup. Otherwise you'll have recaptcha on every page you want to access. They want to own our lives on the Internet and it seems they are going to get away with it. Google is turning more and more evil by the hour.

    You can try it now, use firefox with a clean profile, never log to any Google account on it and see how already unlivable the net will look.

    I don't know what action you ever respected him for, he literally put aside the Tesla founders and took over the vision they created and made it his. From the start he was an awful person.
