That sounds like a reasonable compromise. I'm glad that they got it passed. Now get to enforcing the law that prevents those senators who shut down the legislature from running for office next election...

Anyone could start a thread, but ideally a mod would create a stickied post so that it was easy to find over the course of the week.

Duckduckgo.com uses Bing as its back-end. Honestly I prefer both to Google anymore.

It's hilarious that this assumes old.reddit.com will survive more than a year or two after IPO.

RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.

I can't help but notice how similar their phrasing is to Spez trying to justify why Reddit has yanked the rug out from under their third party app developers.

The President doesn't get to decide on that any more than a regular citizen. The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution states quite clearly that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

If Congress and the States want to amend the Constitution, they can do so by following the procedures laid out in Article V, which requires a 2/3 majority of both houses of Congress OR 2/3 of state legislatures to propose the amendment, and then 3/4 approval of state legislatures to ratify it. The President has zero involvement in the process:

Once approved by Congress, the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment does not require presidential approval before it goes out to the states. While Article I Section 7 provides that all federal legislation must, before becoming Law, be presented to the president for his or her signature or veto, Article V provides no such requirement for constitutional amendments approved by Congress, or by a federal convention. Thus the president has no official function in the process. In Hollingsworth v. Virginia (1798), the Supreme Court affirmed that it is not necessary to place constitutional amendments before the president for approval or veto.

If he'd announced that they were going to force the app developers to share ad revenue or charge users a reasonable monthly fee for ad-free access and share that with Reddit, I think the backlash would have been far less.

But that's not what Steve wants. He wants to get all the ad revenue AND be able to track user activity to sell to the data brokers/advertisers. This was never going to be a situation that we users found reasonable.

Twitter plans to focus on video, creator and commerce partnerships to revitalize the social media company's business beyond digital advertising, according to an investor presentation by owner Elon Musk and new Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino that was reviewed by Reuters.

Yaccarino, who started as CEO on June 5, told Twitter investors on Thursday that the company is in early conversations with political and entertainment figures, payments services and news and media publishers, said a source familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a private investor call.
