No, it’s because WhatsApp was free at a time where SMS were not (you might have a few included in your plan, but you couldn’t rely on that)

I am a tech nerd over 30, using a mixture of windows and linux, and watch porn. While I’m not a furry, they have great art IMHO so people can share it even if they aren’t 100% into it. Some of it might even be ideologically driven, against the anti-porn drive: Add a lot of good porn content so that in case e.g. Reddit shuts down NSFW there is a good alternative.

I also heard that. But is it actually the case that a significant number of people don’t use the file explorer (because they often use tablets/smartphones and not a desktop/laptop PC as main device, which is what I heard as reason) or is it just something people say?

I remember Macron once was like “well, US is too free for us, China is too restrictive, we need to be in the middle”.

For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.

Tbh, most websites I visit probably aren’t that important that they need to be archived. I would assume installing this extension would just contribute to a bloated archive with little additional value.

Wow, that’s awful. I just use Firefox mobile + Adblock, which isn’t very nice to reddit, but at least allows a somewhat decent experience - except for missing features like /r/Subreddit/comments, for which you have to go in Desktop mode.

On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.

The compressed archive of reddit from 2005.5 until 2022 is 2 TB: https://academictorrents.com/details/7c0645c94321311bb05bd879ddee4d0eba08aaee

Uncompressed it is likely way larger though.

you can watch subs with age restricted content on mobile browsers, but you have to log in. But now you even have to login on desktop for age restricted subs.

I think there should be archives available until march: https://archive.org/details/pushshift-reddit-2023-03/

While I don’t condone DDoS attacks, the only reason for D4 to be online-only is monetization IMO: Blizzard wants to sell cosmetics, so people have to see other people wearing them. There is little gameplay benefit from being an MMO-lite.

The only immutable “distro” I use is SteamOS on the Steam deck, and already knowing that I will have to re-install networkmanager-openvpn annoys me.

Such a stupid take:

• We know way less about submarines, especially non-military ones, so that we can get way more info from finding the cause of the failure with submarines compared to normal boats, especially as refugee boats often are very obviously overcrowded.
• There likely would be a way greater effort to save refugees if it didn’t mean them coming to Europe. Just from a monetary perspective, saving 300 refugees is probably more expensive than saving a handful of rich people in the long run.
• Even though it’s dangerous, it seems way less dangerous than the titanic drive. Here, the failure rate was 1 in 4, and by far not that many refugee boats sink
