You are technically correct, but the practical thing to do is abandon the term when it’s not forced/tragic. No reason to rehabilitate the term.

And a fun but important fact is that genetic and heritable diseases are not necessarily the same. I went too long as a clinician conflating the two: https://www.veritasint.com/blog/en/difference-between-genetic-and-hereditary-diseases/ (corporate link but correct and well written)

France has flirted with far right nationalism for at least 25 years, fyi

17+ years for me. November would be 18. Since the exodus, Reddit looks like a shadow of itself, but that could be that I only see the frontpage now. What a shame.

You could use foobar2000 with “Album Art Grid View”

Edit: Ah, freeware (BSD license) but not open source.

Pee-roo!

Hey don’t choke on that

I’m not part of that community either. I’m truly amazed at the number of indignant comments like yours, which demonstrate that you took the post as addressed to you. It obviously wasn’t. It was explicitly addressed to posters on 196. I’d recommend being less self-centered, but if you disagree, I’m sure that community would be happy to see you go.

This is the weirdest complaint. The post showed up in your popular/active feed because it got popular/active. It wasn’t targeted to you, and the poster was not addressing you. The post was clearly addressed to users who post on /c/196.

Being annoyed at how the service works is not a good reason to be combative with the poster, and it certainly isn’t a good reason to share your opinions about trans folk being a problem when they get aggressive. Not adding up.

If it helps at all, AC capacitors are extremely easy to replace, so if you had an extra or two on hand, that might save you some headache and money later. Tell you friends. I hope you can stay cool!

Cory Doctorow bookends my use of reddit. About 20 years ago I started to read him at boingboing, where I learned about del.icio.us (he had an obsession with “folksonomy”, or organization by user-created tags), the social bookmarking site. From there I learned of reddit and made an account soon after that was possible (it was just the frontpage for a bit). That was 5 Nov 2005, and while I thought I would stay until or after my account was old enough to vote in the US, I’ve let it go. I was user #497, same username as here. Finally, Cory D’s concept of enshittification has found it’s apotheosis, and it’s a bittersweet goodbye for me.

Thanks for reading. Keep it human.

Yep, that one and others. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot. I guess I’m moving to an instance that lets me control the content I can access. Much appreciated

This may be a silly reason, but I’m unable to easily view communities from other federated instances. I wonder if it’s just NSFW content? A lot of the more mature content is basically unavailable (I’m registered to sopuli.xyz), which is essentially any WTF or other content with warnings. I may be doing this wrong but I don’t like having my content throttled, even unintentionally.
