Digg lost their favicon.ico after the update. Just checked again. It looks like they still haven't been able to get it back. http://digg.com/favicon.ico

Not sure what browser you're using that doesn't recognize that. Ancient versions of IE don't support it, I think.

Also it has correct quoting, HN seems to choke on that.

Are they even relevant any more? I thought reddit has eaten up their lunch by now. I used to use digg fairly regularly but gave up and now reddit serves up what I need. Internets are very brutal, Kevin.

yeah I gave up on digg, and moved over to reddit. And so have most of my friend.

It's like switching pubs after the last one has mistreated your mates.

I bet Digg wishes it had that power. I always thought Superman was flying faster than the speed of light to go back in time and save Lois. Turns out he really was reversing the rotation of the Earth to rewind events. I like my version of the movie better.

Except flying at the speed of light would have put him in the future, and not back in time.

faster than the speed of light is undefined behavior.

Edit: In the video he orbits the earth faster than light could make the trip. Then again his blur trail is way to big etc so IMO just take it as artistic license / bad science fiction.

I recently tried to delete my Digg account and couldn’t find a way to delete my account. How can webapps these days not have the ability to delete an account? Unless Digg just wants to maintain its inflated numbers of how many users they have.

Why delete your account? Why not just stop using it? I don't understand this.

And now Reddit has become a cesspool of DERP.

After four years I have gradually stopped using Reddit because wading through all the moronic meme chanting and pun threads simply isn't worth it anymore. And so have most of my friends.

Let's hope this place doesn't fill up with cat pictures and 'BREAKING' anytime soon.

Perhaps Digg fixing itself may return some of that Derp back where it came from. I haven't stopped using reddit though, as there are still some great mini communities that are the subreddits.

Going to be honest though, I am an ex-digg user, current reddit user, and just recently started checking out HN on a regular basis for the content and insight I feel has left reddit. Please don't hate me! :)

The good thing about reddit is that it allows you to have exactly as much seriousness as you want from it. Look into subscribing to some of the smaller and more focused subreddits instead: I'm subscribed to /r/compsci, /r/math, /r/PhilosophyOfScience and /r/electronicmusic. You're going to not find pun or meme threads in any of them.

One of the homepage stories is an ad, and another points to a virus with 94 "diggs" and a couple comments lamenting the lack of a way to flag the submission. I remain unimpressed. If they just reverted to whatever the site looked like a few years ago, that'd be better than what they have today.
