Tbh I think the vast majority of people that use these sites are just there to mindlessly scroll. I do imagine a lot of their reactions to the protests was to be pissed at the weird basement dwellers disrupting their porn/aww/etc feeds

More than anything, the fact that Reddit absolutely quadruple-downed on steering people to their garbage app at the same time probably drove a lot of that crowd away. I regard it like ~~Twitter~~ X now: just another rotting, closed-off corporate theme park - and I refuse to believe any content I hit a login wall after getting linked to is important enough to deal with their shit.

Seems like it got... Railroaded.

Absolutely baited

And I'm not sure where you are pulling the "if you are that powerful" from.

(The preceding comment was a parody of Great Man ideology)

I would demand a medium sized enterprise or two from the privatization website in exchange for defection

I'm going to have to ask you to place your dot on one of four quadrants so I can hurry up and assume everything else you've got to say

State subsidization has also dived off a cliff. Why would they when they know people will take out loans to make it up? (Neoliberal answers only!)

For one, you can have a second screen and Google the answers. It's a little bit harder in person.

I'd really like to see a system of online learning where extension offices are built out into testing center networks. This still disenfranchises people sadly, but staves off some existential questions about what passing an exam even means now.

Anything can be learned online, with enough drive and determination

But if you're that powerful: why bother learning from others? You could simply leave and create your own community called name's Gulch.

My only experience with this is the bootloader is just as locked down as the OS. It's been a while, but I'd sooner buy a x86 netbook instead.

The problem is you legally don't have the right to "terminate for any reason" when it comes to a number of protected classes, but these laws make it so we have to rely on you being stupid enough to create a massive trail of evidence (easy part with small business tyrants), but also litigate it for potentially years on end - harder

If you live in a state with a bottle deposit. The $0.05-0.10 is paid with the government aid, but returned as cash to the redeemer. It's a poor and laborious return on investment, but doesn't require actually hustling to sell water like that to tourists.
