What we're seeing with Reddit is just the first stage of enshittification: making things worse for the end users who have been captured by network effect and what used to be a good service, in order to benefit advertisers. The second stage is making things shitty for the advertisers who have been captured by all the captive users. Paid subs are probably a harbinger of that kind of thing, but I don't think advertisers are locked in enough to be really stuck yet.

My guess is that's the point. D&D Beyond, for example, seems to make it purposely confusing. My guess is that this is an attempt to make playing with the 2014 rules that much harder, so that people spend more money.
Refreshingly, that includes multinational firms: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/04/asia/deepfake-cfo-scam-hong-kong-intl-hnk/index.html
With the U.S. government now in total control of a political party ....
The quoted text means that the government controls the party. I believe what you mean to say is "With the US government now totally controlled by a political party ...."
Why would anything socially progressive organize on Facebook? Most normal people I know have abandoned that platform, let alone anyone privacy-minded or anti-oligarch.
That you'd be a bad teammate: the kind of person who puts personal preference above what the group has decided and causes problems for no good reason; the kind of person who would insist on indenting with spaces when the whole team has decided to use tabs.
Me too; that's why I use a password manager: I can be super lazy.
Interesting; I'm running Ublock and it didn't hide it for me. Maybe mobile vs desktop? Thanks for the archive link!
Edit: super weird, the subscription pop-up still shows up on the archive site.
Snow Crash is almost kinda satire, but also not. Also, I believe, the first use of the term "metaverae". It's a fun read.

Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware.
Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this:
There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well.
The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with?
Thanks!

Sure it is: the only reason for DRM is to make more money.
