Comment on ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google in ~tech
Astronauty Link ParentI disagree. I have long since given up on Reddit’s own search, which is why I use Google to do it. If they block that, then I am truly completely done with Reddit.I disagree.

Haven’t seen anything else since then because of me not caring and also just being tired of Disney superhero movies.
They mistakenly thought that the comic book formula would work for movies, and the reality is that it won’t. People like me who don’t care about comics get tired of the same movie formula over and over again. And don’t get me started on the multiverse stuff which just cheapens everything and removes what little risk was left in having definitive moments in story telling.

Astronauty LinkThis article seems to not be about food trucks and instead is more of one of those thinly veiled “work from home is bad” type pieces.This article seems to not be about food trucks and instead is more of one of those thinly veiled “work from home is bad” type pieces.

Comment on Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge in ~tech

Pissing off that vital minority of users was a dumb move, and the total effects of it won’t be realized right away.
I personally am now here on Tildes because of what Reddit did. I no longer browse Reddit on my phone, I will just check certain subs on my desktop for updates on a handful of topics I’m interested in. It’s crazy just how bad their mobile site is that I won’t even bother with it on my phone. I’m more aware of the pervasiveness of toxic posts and commentary on Reddit rather than actual polite discussion of something from different viewpoints. Or even when it’s not friendly debate about something, it’s the same regurgitated meme posts or phrases over and over again.
I still Google search Reddit when I’m looking for information on products and services, but the more Reddit becomes hostile to its content generating users, the less discourse it will have which can be archived/indexed and searched later.

I don’t mind it actually, all these options is really cool, but I feel like the game needs a little more tutorial help in the beginning. I’m finding the camera a little clunky because you can’t adjust the angle without zooming.

But having an elite (and in this case not just elite, but the GOAT) playmaker should really help Miami climb up the standings.
Before last night, I’ve watched maybe an hour of MLS soccer in all my life. Last night I watched the entire game, and I will watch Tuesday’s game as well. Messi is definitely going to bring so many eyes to the MLS, which is great for the league, the other players in MLS, and American soccer in general.

How would you watch the shows? The “apps” for Quest such as Netflix are horrible, and the browser (if it works) is limited in quality. I’m honestly surprised that the very basic concept of watching streaming shows and movies on a Meta headset is not easy as pie with high fidelity after all these years.
