Wait, patience, patience

Now you’ve made me throw up in my mouth.

That is just unforgivable.

You’re going to make me cry remembering my days with gpm. Hands down the best music platform that was.

I had to look up astroturfing in this context, so hopefully I got this right. But isn’t that just the actual commenting then? Obviously voting could get that comment moved closer to the top when done by the perps in this case but I think it would take the community to also be up voting the comment for it to rise to the top. I also don’t think knowing who commented actually fixes this issue nor does it give more ability from an admin perspective to get rid of those comments if that was desired.

I could be missing something though.

What is the benefit here in this case? Basically why do we care who upvotes or downvotes something that it needs to be exposed?

I wasn’t talking about good AdSense in this case, just the page you are redirected to if you are coming from one of their marked VPN IP addresses. Unless this has changed since the last time I attempted to go to Reddit with a VPN on. But that’s the behavior I’ve witnessed.

Not a code change at all, just a filtering of the traffic from particular ip’s and forwarding it to a different page which is all that reddit is doing as well.

No it was clearly an official duty as defined circa 2024

When Chrome came out it was fairly light on resource usage and speedy because of that. Firefox was a resource hog at this time. Chrome now is a show resource hog and Firefox is much peppier overall in my opinion.

Check out Cobalt Core. Great game in that and vein.

Federated doesn’t mean open.

It’s like a potentially abusive spouse, asking their future spouse to waive all rights to seek legal recourse if they beat them in the future. This crap shouldn’t be legal.

Nobody wants to do that

Someone mentioned above but we have that in Matrix. A great federated messaging service.

It’s a cloud service now, so fully usable via the browser.

You can’t really use home valuation here as a comparison. A homeowner cannot just sell a piece of their house to go and buy another one. Doesn’t really work like that.

Low Earth, and High Earth orbits.

I don’t see how any of this would hold up in court. I’m pretty sure you can’t be liable for a new tos for what is essentially new software that you didn’t use in your project. This company is clearly run by fucktards who are hoping to prey upon devs that just don’t know better or can’t fight back.
