Katy Perry was a riot-grrl indie-rocker before she became a pop diva.

They could always pay the API fees and get ChatGPT to write some Reddit-like comments for them to report on.

Different types have different advantages and disadvantages.

Slot can be opened with stuff that isn't screwdrivers (keys, coins, etc). They can take more torque than Phillips and are cheap to make. They kind of suck to use though, the screwdriver/bit likes to slip off.

Phillips self-centers the bit, and is pretty tolerant of wrong-sized driver for the screw. It strips easily though.

Torx, square and Allen are more expensive to make and require the correct size driver, but they're higher torque and the driver doesn't slip out of the screw.

I'm not here because I don't want Reddit, I'm here because I do want Reddit, but it looks like the Reddit Corp is going to break it.

I don't think I'll leave Reddit until it goes to shit, but if mods leave, communities will fall apart and I won't have any reason to be there any more. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Lemmy seems like the most likely to rise up and take Reddit's place, so here I am. My only major complaint is the lack of user base, so I'll stick around for a while and contribute my +1 in the hopes that enough others do the same thing to get the critical mass needed for niche hobby groups to form.

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
