I’m sorry, his name was what?

“You can’t put lipstick on a pig” was popular for about a year in the US, circa 2007

Good point, that’s much more apt

It also adds clutter and noise to a public space, making it more irritating to scroll through comments. It’s like someone having a private conversation on speaker phone while you’re waiting in line at a Starbucks or whatever.

That’s what they want. Get all the users they aren’t able to monetize off the platform to lower their costs.

There’s a similar therapy used sometimes with alcoholics – although in that case, the drug (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfiram) doesn’t just block the effects of intoxication, it makes the experience intensely miserable (sometimes even to the point of being life-threatening).

Disulfiram can be quite successful when used correctly, but the success of the treatment largely depends on the patient’s willingness to continue the therapy. I imagine the same will apply with this vaccine.

Maybe an uncommon opinion, but as someone who’s invested hundreds of hours into both games, I actually prefer the 2d experience of ROR quite a lot more than the 3d of ROR2.

Based on code in the Reddit’s Android app, Reddit appears to be working on a “contributor program” that would let users cash out gold or karma (basically, points you get for posts, comments, or giving awards) they receive into real money.

So rather than start paying the volunteer moderators that keep their site running, Reddit is going to pay the repost bots and low-effort karma farmers? Surely that will improve the quality of content on the site… /s

Ideally it would post to whichever instance you’re logged into, but show up on all federated instances.

Terrible.

Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge privacy advocate… But the expectation of privacy that they have is completely unreasonable. “Nothing ever gets deleted from the internet” is an adage for a reason. If you’re concerned about people on this internet seeing something, don’t post it! Having the expectation that you’ll be able to “take back” anything you post is naive and unreasonable.
