I still look back fondly on my Samsung BlackJack; that phone was fantastic. I still have my HTC Tilt 2 (that was the ATT branded name for it; I can’t remember what HTC called it) and it still works.

There were lots of good/cool phones before the iPhone.

The industry was terrible but there were lots of good phones out there. The Samsung BlackJack was a pretty awesome device, and HTC was making some pretty compelling devices for Windows Mobile. Then the BlackBerry, of course, was a great device in a lot of ways too; very functional given the limitations of a hardware keyboard.

I really don’t think it’s a protest on the part of Minecraft anyway; what they were really saying is that because subs were no longer enforcing rules and content moderation wasn’t happening anymore (or was being actively discouraged) and porn among other things was becoming more prevalent on the site, they didn’t feel comfortable having an official affiliation with Reddit, even if it was only with one sub.

The protest worked in a way, but I wouldn’t give Microsoft credit for actually backing the protests.

Yeah, that’s a really impressive web app experience.

Be interesting to see how much the Holy Priest DPS changes impact things; I have been leveling an hpriest again for the first time since I started playing a healer in early Shadowlands (was a Mage prior to that...going back to Vanilla) and I actually enjoy the lore/aesthetics of it more than any other healing class. I mean, honestly, I am not a high key player anyway so I can really play whatever I want.

There’s always a chance another service will pick it up if Paramount+ really goes away I suppose.

Seems like a risky move when Microsoft is going to court to try and get approval to buy Blizzard.

What spez wants is to be a notorious billionaire, respected for making reddit a profitable social media company. What he is, and what he probably always will be, is a shitty leader who doesn't actually have a lot of business sense making decisions using emotion and ego and alienating a chunk of the user population.

Hard to say if he will suffer any real consequences for this, but at least in some important circles he's lost a lot of clout.

Better that than suffocating to death slowly on the bottom of the ocean. Sympathy for their families.

I am certain that lab grown meat will be one of the most heavily scrutinized advancements in food technology probably ever. If there’s even a hint that something is wrong with it the news will be everywhere.

It’s hard to believe that anyone would support this kind of behavior from Apple but I’ve seen people either dismissing this as fake news or claiming that it’s no big deal for a trillion dollar company to bully Apple companies with trademark dispute litigation. Strange times.
