The layout for reading posts is... not great.

I understand they're trying to be different but there's really not enough delineation between posts and replies and it's hard to keep track of what's going on. Is this a reply to a post above it, is this a new post? If there was more indentation and the color bar was a wee bit thicker that'd be wonderful. The colors in particular are not super helpful to me and probably should be avoided because of color blindness. I'd rather see tab lines like you'd see in like vscode instead. I understand this is up to the individual federations/instances with their themes(maybe?) but almost all of them go with this really subdued style that's hard to read.

Yeah that was another thought I had, I've seen them glue treads on surely glue would be just fine for this makeshift bumper system.

Honestly I'd just assume they cut them and use a torch to melt them back together. You'd probably never notice after a long enough time because of weathering and dust. Maybe even put there before it was capped off with the second floor?

oh my god thank you for this

powermods that run hundreds of subreddits abusing their authority

Speaking of this, I really hope awkwardtheturtle had a meltdown. Talk about the worst of the worst mods on reddit.

This was the biggest thing for me. I'm not really on the up and up with game design in editors like unity and unreal so it's a lot of work just to get the basics going. In godot? It's very easy and almost never changes between versions. I've been able to use 4 year old tutorials and still follow along.

In Unity if you're not paying for courses on that version of unity you're likely lost as shit as they'll rename things or move them around between major versions. It's a lot of lost time trying to figure out where it's been moved to, and it's also very demoralizing and makes me give up quickly.

That's where they should absolutely stay. Spez and reddit love that garbage.

The world is round. It's not a CCP agenda because they're too fucking stupid to understand GPS or VHF radio horizons or even god damned shadows.

For an absolute beginner: Godot if you're not super familiar with programming, PyGame or SDL if you are.

If you are planning to move commercially, it'd behoove you to upgrade your PC to at least be able to use Unity. Unreal is definitely not where I'd suggest unless you're a C++ person or have been in game dev for decades at this point. Pico-8, RPG Maker, and etc are fine but not where I'd devote any real effort or time other than making something one off.

Bro has the personality of a turd and the charisma to match.

A good play might have been to buy it off Selig for a few million. But he's so fucking unlikable and put his foot in his mouth dozens of times at this point that the power users are unlikely to back down. Reddit will limp along and lose another 40%+ valuation over the next few months as spez plows through his community to try and squeeze as much money as he can from the corpse not realizing he's doing the opposite of what he needs to do.

They just set their display name to Ruud, that's why it looks like it's from him, but yeah the giveaway is the link to the profile and the flair.

It's refreshing to see one that doesn't pull their punches. It's also very refreshing to see the general aura of Elon being this genius fading away finally.

It's just corporate accounting. They're profitable but they essentially cook the books to get the tax benefits of being "unprofitable". This is why amazon is still occasionally "unprofitable" even though they're growing year over year. You can't just keep taking out loans to buy and build new warehouses if you're actually unprofitable.

Huffman is just a greedy piece of shit. He, himself, made a comment when talking about Apollo that implied this developer is sitting on millions and he deserves a cut of it. API calls in terms of cost to the company cost fractions of a penny and plenty of large companies make money off their API. They could charge the base cost and add 10% for the profit. The problem is a realistic and reasonable cost for reddit's API would probably cost the apollo dev maybe a few grand a year. Like I said above, Huffman thinks there's a lot more money to wrangle out of developers there, but I'd bet the apollo dev was barely making a fraction of a percent on Huffman's net worth.
