I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic

Which only tells us anything about drama subs.

Edit: Reddit has, what, >100k active subs and ~500 million active monthly users. Even if half of them were literal bots that’d leave you with ~250 million monthly meatbags using the site.

50–100 times the population of eg. Finland—“everybody on reddit is the same and they’re like chatbots, amirite?”

Revenge of the Edit: and before any of y’all get any bright ideas, I use em & en dashes because I’m a ginormous nerd who also uses interrobangs (“uses what‽”), fite me

outgroup bad, applause please

So it’s fine as long as they’re not literally murdering people?

Just like the Marines refused to be deployed to California

Everything’s got to be about politics here.

NOOOOO I’M GOING TO SUE YOU IN LEMMY COURT

Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

“Reposting content without prior permission”?

Hanlon’s Razor is all well and good as a heuristic, but tends to lead to people discounting malice much too often. Also, I really didn’t say we were “under attack”

I absolutely don’t know, but my guess would be spambots or somesuch

If the data you’re handling isn’t sensitive in any way (or you can eg. anonymise / pseudonymise it) and you don’t have anything else sensitive on the VM, it wouldn’t really matter either way – and as @[email protected] said, if you’re running an executable from some yarrr site you’re probably going to get malware

Just run it in a VM?

feel like hangovers from an old mediaeval version of the language.

This is pure conjecture on my part, but I think that might be the explanation.

Also like @[email protected] alluded to, English really isn’t one language, but more like 4(+) languages in a trench coat pretending to be one. Lots of weird shit that really doesn’t make much sense unless viewed from a perspective of language development & history

I bet that the particular universe where Phil dies just collapses on itself, killing everyone in the process. Thankfully so far there’s always been at least one universe with a Phil that doexn’t die

Can I book you for parties? You’d be a great hit

Weird API. Returning the text for deleted comments and then expecting clients to redact it seems highly silly

Half-loathing

I make my own though

Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we’re still pretty far from “bluetooth smart diaper” territory

Guns are inanimate.

People who do dumb shit like this are dumb.
