A lot of mods had that opinion when the API changes were first announced. But those protests quickly crumbled when Reddit started threatening to remove mods of subs participating i…

He seems to spout a lot of things about free speech, and about how Twitter is the only place to get your voice heard without censorship, etc. But if a journalist crosses him or pen…

Pi-Hole (or any other DNS filters) don't block this one.

This is about the "National Emergency Library" they launched during the peak of the COVID pandemic? I think they had good intentions, but the legality around it was definitely ques…

It won't load for me in Firefox either, even with all extensions disabled.

That was a nice feature, but there are other apps that do this without consent and I don't like it. For example, if you have the NY Times app installed and tap on a link in Safari …

I find Twitter really annoying to use now, since they made it so all of the replies from blue checkmark accounts get boosted to the top of the feed. I have to scroll past all of th…

Many of the old default subs like News, Politics, etc are ran by the same group of moderators, and they will heavily censor things they don't like. But it's the same thing on the o…

I completely agree with that, in the past if I saw a DIY video with a 50% upvote rate, I'd know that it should probably be ignored and to look for a better source. Now, I'm not sur…

The FAA has a program called LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) and high-profile individuals, etc can sign up to it. The major players in the flight tracking business like Fli…

I really miss that site, I remember you could place a "bounty" for some rare/obscure song or remix and there was always someone out there who had a copy of it who was willing to sh…

That works well on a desktop browser, but the YouTube ads are still a problem on iOS and other platforms like smart TVS, Roku or Chromecast/Google TV.

They never even admitted that bots were present in WSB despite the evidence. This whole Gamestop saga just gave them a lot of publicity and a lot of traffic from people who never w…

The test flight of Falcon Heavy (when they sent the Tesla Roadster to space) is still the most memorable launch for me. Watching those 2 boosters land side-by-side simultaneously l…

Even on their own hardware (Surface Pro) I've ran into really annoying issues with DPI scaling, especially when docking/undocking from a secondary monitor.

I still have an old @msn.com email address, I remember at the time you could choose from @hotmail.com, @msn.com or @passport.com. Haven't used it for email for at least a decade, b…

Why doesn't this site use HTTPS?

Could these big tech firms challenge this in court? It seems like a very ambiguous use of "national security reasons".

I had 2 years of smoking in the building before it was banned and I don't miss my clothes constantly smelling like tobacco smoke.

They don't actually check your region either, you just have to check a box saying that you're in the U.S. It seems to be flying under the radar, at least until now
