Shreddit still exists as a docker image and can go about saving a scrambled version before it deletes, but in practice it doesn’t seem to work. They disappear from your account and you can no longer see them but if you search for your username on Google etc you can still get to the comments, so they are still available for search engines and AI. There is no way to remove the comments on Reddit, you can just choose to hide them from yourself!

They have been using the minimum estimate for CO2 impact on heating since the 1970s. The level of pollution in the air has been hiding the true impact and as the various causes of pollution are removed the earth energy balance is changing such that it turns out that the highest end of the CO2 impact is actually correct, which doubles the heating effect. There has been about a third of climate scientists who have been warning about this but they have consistently been called the extremists or the doomers and they have been right all along. They were always right, the evidence was based on actual experiments of the impact of CO2 and not by measuring the planet.

You want a dummy account on it that just has the details of the flight in there so its not completely blank just useless to the border police but clearly not just blanked awaiting setup.

I bought physical disks until they were basically phased out. A large chunk of them just registered on Steam and downloaded the latest patch before they would run anyway. I have been against Steam and its DRM for a while, but everyone else chose to have no rights to their games, no ability to sell or loan them or give them to others. You will own nothing and love it.

Once you have enough money to buy anything you want it looses value, now its the things that you can’t buy that are worth having, those are the things you can show off to your other ridiculously wealthy friends.

The answer is always going to be no they haven’t. They can’t really get their ships near enough to do much to secure the straight because they take damage or risk being sunk.

There is also the other explanation, which has a lot of mechanistic science already, that is the impact of the virus itself on the children before and after birth. Its been known since 2020 that the virus causes neurological damage and the evidence keeps coming in on just how bad news it is. We see it all over society at the moment, blamed on other things but the scientific papers showing the structural changes in the brain are many times replicated now.

This like all the other trade that is disappearing to the EU is going to become a permanent change. Prior allies now view the US as an enemy and aggressor and are forming alternative routes of trade. This will not be returning just because the president is changed in the future. The relationship is over.

The US never intended to keep its end of the deal anyway and never did. Its not really a surprise to find American aggression continues.

America doesn’t keep its word, there is zero negotiation to be done its incapable of making and sticking to a deal.

All the trigger troops from the nations of Europe who are allied with Denmark remain in place on Greenland. Fortification efforts continue.

At some point the project also just gets hard to maintain with AI, you burn ever increasing tokens the bigger a project gets and AI produces awful code for the purpose of maintenance by hand. Once the bugs start rolling in they realise the AI can’t fix them, they certainly can’t afford to have it constantly load the entire project as context and they don’t know how to fix it themselves and the tech debt produced is immense. So the projects get shut down.

They will like PC gamers swallow all the DRM and digital downloads as we see everytime there is complaints about Denovo or the latest game has been withdrawn on Steam gamers keep going back and buying more. It will end the same way on Playstation.

PC gamers accepted the inability to sell and loan games and to have extensive DRM on a large number of games. The console players are the last holds against this anti consumer practice. Just because PCs has multiple stores it doesn’t change the fact Steam is a near monopoly and while its relatively consumer friendly we still don’t own games on it, they can not be passed to others in any way legally. People have a weird love for Steam but the basic facts are the same, it uses DRM, you can’t sell or loan games and you have a licence and don’t own them, you can’t pass them to someone else in a will. Steam is pretty anti consumer on the big items here compared to disks on the consoles.

Fifa has been considered corrupt for so long now its hard to imagine that ever changing.

Steam very successfully destroyed the resale and lending of PC games and the same approach with digital rights management of downloads will do the same to the consoles.

When you ask people if they want to hand over government ID to every website they access as an adult to prove they aren’t a teenager however support is going to drop really rapidly. Most adults on the internet have had basic details stolen on the internet, but having your passport and other biometrics routinely stolen alongside your bank details is going to open people up to a lot of identity theft attacks. They aren’t likely to support the actual implementation.

“But the leopards wont eat my face”

Hate to break it to you but in the countries where they are restricting it they are doing so to Youtube and Reddit and many other places. Anywhere the plebs can talk to each other.

What I miss in the transition from forums to Reddit and Lemmy is the longer forum discussions that could go on for years. They had their issues, they regularly went off topic and resulted in insults being traded and trolling but they also got to a depth that we don’t see anymore. They were much better for getting to the detail of a thing and with Reddit/Lemmy being so focussed on today the entire discussion is gone tomorrow. The tree format is better for the branching discussion but its also got a real depth limit.

We lost something important when most of the forums shuttered. I really miss usenet for that as well, it alas didn’t evolve with the increase in spam but it could have been something still in use if it had.

Need another one now for all the removal of side loading, that is another big antitrust issue. Best make the fine actually worth something this time.
