You can't ignore that Max was given a free pitstop. Would Max have won even if he hadn't? Maybe. But after he was given the free pitstop, it was a sure thing that he was going to be in the top 3 ahead of George and Lando.

I have a few Kingston DTEG2. They all perform like the Crucial and the Samsung.

I've tried many SanDisk since that's all they sell in the brick and mortar stores near me and they're all trash.

I have a second SIM that I use for situations where I don't want to give out my real number.

It's a traditional PAYG SIM where I pay for a tiny bit of credit and it lasts until I use it. I need to make a billable once every few months to keep it active. So I just text myself once every couple of months. The $10 I put on it will last a few years before I need to top it up. Or I could just 'burn' it and get a new one.

They just hide your submissions/comments beyond your 1000 most recent contributions from your profile. The contributions remain on the website. I've found the only method to find contributions beyond the 1000 limit was to Google it or use third party archive databases.

With the new change workarounds to find old contributions will not be needed.

 

Reddit is removing the 1000 submission/comments limit on user profiles. Profiles will soon show all submissions/comments from the day the account was created.

Reddit is providing a method to delete all content by emailing redditdatarequests@reddit.com or via their form https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001370251

The submission link here on Lemmy takes you directly to a Reddit's admin submission that talks about the change.

Me too. I still use Reddit via the website. I think Reddit is also in a negative place at the moment too. It seems that most things I see these days are negatively voted, or Reddit's algorithm has changed and it mostly shows me negatively voted content in my feed.

It's because he called the event 'We, Robot'. So it's fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla's humanoids and the robots within the movie.

I was thinking about disabling explorer from running or at least kill it at boot up. And then using an alternative file explorer and task bar.

Linux doesn't have the breadth of programs available that Windows does. Programs developed for Windows are sometimes better than their FOSS equivalents. Eg. I pay for Office, partially so my parents can use it and partially because it's just a better set of programs than any of the FOSS equivalents. I generally only find the Linux programs are better when it comes to computer management and maintenance.

So I run Linux for servers and Windows for PCs.

What's an alternative to explorer?

Unfortunately, just switch to Linux is not an option.

You clearly haven't looked at either article. Parasocial relationships are weird.

I guess you're right because I didn't properly look at the hackaday article.

Alec has paraphrased the Tedium article. All of the talking points of Alec's video is in the article.

The hackaday article just summarised the 16 minute video into 4 short paragraphs and linked to Alec's video.

Edit: I like interactions like this (the comment thread since my first comment) because it highlights how easy it is for people to make judgements based on a lack of knowledge. It reminds me to try to not make assumptions.

 

It looks like there are many submissions now being downvoted across many subs.

Before the API change I never really noticed mass submissions with zero votes. Now i see multiple zero vote submissions daily and I browse Reddit for about 20 minutes a day. My feed is set to sort by hot, so I don't see many submissions that have just been created.

Is this a sign of the type of people using Reddit these days, a lack of moderation, or could there be some bots floating mass downvoting?

 

I've experienced it today where the app doesn't show the comment if I click one of my own comments or the reply to it. It shows the parent comment and other comments in the submission.

I've checked the modlog for the community and neither comment has been removed, so it looks like it's a bug with the app?

 

Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?

I'm having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven't deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.

 

I've noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by 'generating' content in communities, but I don't see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I'd just prefer to block them all so I don't see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?
