Thanks for the tip. Now we just need a script if possible to embed those notes right by their name so no mouseover needed. Or color code it or something.

Interesting idea. I never thought that the thin crust needed some push to start cycling, I figured the circulation underneath was enough since it has been going for billions of years. But let's not forget the real MVP, because without Theria slamming into the early Earth and forming the Moon from some of the lithosphere, the crust would have been too thick for any movement regardless.

Just hit me that (it true) this would have preceded the first of life's known major change to the environment, the Great Oxidation Event. So not only once but twice in an early era life totally disrupted the "normal" surroundings and caused utter chaos for existing life, which had to adapt to a new world. Next question, would these bacteria have been the same culprits?

You did more research than I did, so more of an expert than me. Sounds like you're correct.

I disagree with this a little bit. Reddit as a whole had huge value from its content by the users, otherwise it wouldn't be found at the top of Google searches, used for AI training, and have investors and advertisers interested in the traffic. It had a lot of crap too over time, and the bot and other infiltration didn't help things. Was it worth 15b, I don't know, but the simple act of blacking out even a few major subs certainly did make some ripples for having small value.

I accidentally wandered into a Reddit thread via Googling something (it's everywhere) and noticed I had gotten mine as well in a message. Looking through it I don't know how useful it really is to have other than for posterity, but the sad part was in thinking that it was just my comments with no context, and those discussion chains are all but lost. Some probably have missing parts due to deletions, and of course they all would require going to Reddit to even read, unless I can just use the URL to maybe find it in an outside archive?

I know it's more than just Huffman behind all this, but I keep thinking of the quote that one person can make a difference. That difference isn't always a good one, and burning things down is always easier than building.

Two tildes (~~) on each side does a strikethrough.

I would typically only engage with new posts, but in two places. One was some smaller subs where there was going to be more opportunity for discussion between everyone, and two in the larger subs would be breaking issues where new was by default and it was more group observation of the events going on in real time.

I had learned about this a week or so ago, and the concern about the ability was that since the title does appear in the URL as well, how would that affect potential falsification and abuse. Well, in seeing this post about it again, I thought I'd experiment. Assuming your original title just mentioned Lemmy I edited the URL, and lo and behold it goes to this same page. So then I thought, is that title part even important? I cut off the URL after the 114218 number. It still goes here. So I guess everything after the post number is ignored, which means there's no problem at all.

Didn't realize a refund would be a reverse payment, although that makes sense after thinking about it. Not as big of a problem to face if a developer is given more than 30 days to shut things down. Can he seek financial damage for Huffman's rash and illogical decision? Probably not, but not a lawyer.

I've bought a few indie games before that I thought were groundbreaking achievements, even though I never really played them much. Also have purchased a few licenses for apps when I only needed the one because I felt the dev wasn't charging the full potential of the thing.

Yes, not everyone is going to get the news that it's turned from a loss of income into a debt due to the nature. And dare I say there may be some out there who would still consider it as "he knew what he was getting into", although I hope that's a very small percentage.

Notification issue I ran across today - a person can delete a message in a thread leaving "deleted by author" but the message still shows up in notifications (or part of it since notifications cuts them off at some point).
