Ope, I only read the OP Post title. My bad.

Um, sir, this is c/TheOnion

Uh, it was trying to make me pay?

Was totally on board till I hit the pay wall.

Yeah fam, “fam” is hella lit.

Naw fam, gotta get that GPS in braille form

I think its great to be reading the amount of “in hindsight, screwing over Bernie Sanders over the last decade was probably a mistake” (mostly seeing this in the centrist/slightly liberal circles I inhabit)

I have to second this one.

Most of the people I hang with tend towards 3rd party. All of them proudly touted their votes for the democratic candidate in this/the last election, but each was also very clear they were only voting that way as a way to vote against Trump.

They all hate Biden and Harris.

I really like your way of explaining that.

It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.

I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.

I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.

you could stand up and fight for that

For best results, do not do spontaneously (that is, go grab some friends and coworkers before attempting to take on a big business)

Naw, I just kidnapped a bunch of people and left some dirty old blankets laying around /s

Now there is a $10k cap which includes your state taxes paid

I figured there was something I was missing and I think thats it.

Fwiw, I really appreciate the long-ish form response. I feel most others were content to downvote and move on, but I feel I’ve learned something that I wasn’t otherwise motivated to go learn on my own.

How is that punishing to city dwellers?

I get that it rewards non-city dwellers more than people who live in cities, but is that really the same thing?

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

Eh, got lost looking for ground ginger. Started in the spice aisle, but they were out, so some directed me to the produce area (apparently didn’t realize I didn’t want whole ginger). After a bit more wandering, I turned some up in the Asian food section.

Unironically saw this meme while in line after having just done that.
