You gotta pump those numbers up

Ah, yes. The totally relevant story about a celebrity bicycle accident in World News…

I hope you go to the show anyway.

I regret not going to shows of artists that just can’t be seen anymore

That does seem like a pickle. There is a band that is (well, WAS) LOCAL to me and I still couldn’t get digital files. I was bitching about on reddit a while back, and I got a DM from someone who sent me an email with the files. They’re in 320mp3, but better than what I had before.

Good luck with that, and have fun in Guadalajara if you go!

Seriously? Like, finding and buying those two CDs used would be cheaper than maintaining a Spotify subscription.

Same. I have moved fully to Home Assistant, with the exception of voice commands. For the most part, I don’t even need those either now that I have an ok grasp on automations

I’m glad you have luck with govee lights. The controllers on the strips I have need to be reconnected to wifi 2-3x a week. They’re a total pain for me.

I have a bunch of stuff in my Amazon cart ready to convert the strips to wled. Very much looking forward to bot having to deal with them anymore

I’m pretty boring

HTPC (a vestige from when I used it as such, but now it’s basically a Plex server and torrent box)

BIGNAS

HUGENAS

Yeah, but is it comparable to German doner kebab?

There’s ten places with that in the name where I live, and all of them are pretending to be doner kebab

I live in a doner desert. I mean, there are places that CLAIM to have doner kebab around here, but they have apparently never been to Germany. There’s something so perfect about Turkish food with heavy German influence that I haven’t been able to find anywhere outside of Germany.

I’m glad you had two years of joy in Fresno, but sorry about the closure

All I’m getting out of this is it’s potentially possible to get doner kebab in the US, and I should take a trip to New York

I also prefer my threats of violence to be vague and unactionable.

I’ll see you soon.

That’s maybe LITERALLY what they said, but I think they meant “there were a lot of things reddit got wrong that we don’t have to do here.”

Personally, the API change was just the thing that made me realize reddit’s quality has been in bad shape for a long time. I hadn’t realized some of the seemingly minor changes in the content that irked me had all combined to make Reddit kind of a shitty place to be. Once the major thing happened, I actually felt relieved that I could stop going there because things weren’t ever going to get better.

I really miss rediquette being enforced, not by just the moderators and admins, but by the community. People (in general) would politely call out bad behavior, have civil discourse, and put forth their best answers as a cultural aspect of Reddit. Of course, that wasn’t universal, but it was the predominant behavior.

The low effort karmawhoring, click and rage bait, overused jokes, and childish content (for me) have lately become the core cultural components of Reddit instead of the outliers.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion and an explanation of why I (and I believe others) are here now. Let reddit be reddit, and let’s make something cool here that draws from the positive components of Reddit and discourages the some of the less enjoyable things about it.

I guarantee it’s loaded with ads and bloatware too. Samsung is the worst for that
