Who convinced you that corporations deserve privacy? All they do is leverage that privacy to screw over consumers and employees. The obvious basis for that requirement would be to empower customers and employees.

I don’t believe them. They get by on not revealing any real data in every direction, there should be regulations that force transparency so that we don’t have to just go by the word of these companies.

Indy’s mom didn’t “leave;” she died. There’s a whole conversation between Indy and his dad just as they’re deciding to go to Berlin to recover the Grail diary, where his Dad says something like, “Unfortunately, she kept her illness from me until all I could do was mourn her.” It’s implied that one of the reasons…

I don’t know that it’s dying in so much as the same has been said of Disney over and over again, but ultimately they go through ebbs and flows of success. Realistically, studios need to be looking at how families are consuming media. It’s easy to say they were “relegated” to streaming, but arguably, that’s where kids…

We can argue superhero fatigue and Pixar fatigue and everything else, but realistically, studios also need to be looking hard at the box office and the theatrical experience. Across the Spiderverse was very successful as animation and a superhero movie, but much was written of the age of the audience skewing a lot…

I have no shame admiting I caught Flash on a pirate site. No way was I going to buy a theater ticket unless it was a home run flash point rather than a black adam.

I still say, telling people the “right way” to protest makes you look like an ass. Remember, these are people who would like to continue using Reddit when all of this is over. Not people who just want to leave.

We are talking about it and reddit is down because they chose to shut down whole sections of the site. Nobody would care or notice if a few people deleted their accounts.

They’ll probably kill this show too. It'll be back a couple days later.

Yet another site succumbing to the enshittification of the internet.

That’s exactly the point. The app devs said they’re happy to pay for API access at—this is the important part—a reasonable price. But reddit has zero interest in offering that. This is not about reddit trying to save costs, this is entirely about them trying to price 3rd party apps out of business ahead of their IPO.

The bandwidth itself is relatively cheap. At an average 1kb payload per request, Apollo’s 7 billion monthly requests add up to about $500 on AWS (where, as far as I know, Reddit is hosted). The compute costs of retrieving and assembling the request data are much harder to estimate but they’re going to be the bigger…

It doesn’t turn people into anything. It just lets people shout out who they are to the world. Assholes are assholes with and without the internet.

““I completely intended it as a joke,” Stusek said. “I didn’t want to make her feel bad. I didn’t want to hurt anybody. A four-star review was amazing. It was so nice of her to take the time to do that. Being upset about a four-star review is ridiculous.””

BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSHIT

The headline makes it look like the review bombing led to her being dropped, and not her own actions attacking a genuine reviewer.

This author obviously isn’t sincere in her apologies whatsoever. It’s painfully obvious she is just saving face now and taking back her “it was just a joke, learn to take a joke, not that deep” and then -today- proceeds to upload a instagram story 3 hours ago sharing a screenshot of buying a hat which has “it’s not…

Most of my co-workers are young women (age 25-35) and most of them spend a large amount of time on TikTok and other assorted social media keeping up with YA Fantasy and romance authors. Based on the conversations I hear my impression is that most of the community is very sincere and conscientious and while they may…

Yeah, this article makes it seem like everything is working out, and maybe it WAS, but her doxxing you shows what she’s really about.

It’s the way Stusek then doxed me (a crime) for asking for a public apology in response to a public attack! She’s shown her true colors!
