Of course the people in charge are shitty for creating the team, but it boggles my mind how the workers also found joy in shitting on customers.

Makes sense. The narrow diameter of the hole alludes to the limited server capacity of each Lemmy instance before it becomes unusable, and the length is a metaphor for the dimension of time. Thusly, the series of tubes is represented.

It is common in wars to fight and talk at the same time. Sometimes talking is done via secret back channels which the public will not find out about until many years after the war.

You can't tell me that Black Adam was better than The Flash.

Black Adam was just a montage of The Rock flexing and looking stern. The plot was non-existent. The whole movie, I just wanted to turn it off and do something better with my time, but I was curious to see if there were going to be any redeemable scenes. I regret waiting till the end to find out there were not.

The Flash was a genuinely enjoyable popcorn flick, if you were willing to overlook the unfinished CGI.

The primary excuse for the API change, to charge AI companies for Reddit's data, doesn't hold water. After the change goes into effect, AI companies can just switch from the API to web scrapers for continued free access. It'll require marginally more processing power, which AI companies already have in spades.
