Probably a good thing, imo. Better than selling data for AI farming and blitzing the site with ads. Hopefully it isn't the start of the entirety of Reddit going behind a subscription wall. Curating private digital communities is a good option.

I'm not the right person to address anything there...far beyond me. But this line seems under-emphasized: "Maybe part of the blame is a lack of investment...in the XMPP developer community."
I use Google files in an effort to minimize the amount of 3rd party software on my phone - particularly when it comes to file access.
Sad news. Here is a link to an impact study (PDF), which describes many (all?) of the projects that benefited from funding. But a few you may recognize include Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon:
Slightly off topic, but I find +972 Magazine to be an outstanding source.
Great article. One thing that stood out to me was Texas having the highest state limit for noise level at 85 decibels. That seems insane to me.
I follow a couple of channels on youtube that post replays of interesting radio communications between pilots and air traffic control. There are technical issues that cause departing flights to return to the airport virtually every single day. Electronics, landing gear stuck down or stuck up, engine stall, engine fire, flaps jam, a sensor says something unexpected. Every brand of airplane imaginable. Pilots are trained to navigate every possible failure mode a plane can encounter. Getting permission to carry commercial passengers requires an incredible level of training and testing. Commercial planes are rigorously engineered.
I'm not trying to carry water for Boeing, but this article describes a relatively common operation (as far as I can tell).
Looks great. And just in time for my plan to self-host an instance.
I guess my phrasing wasn't great on that, but also deeply skeptical of literally everything that came out of Rush's mouth.
Think I'm getting the hang of a shift in dietary stuff. Feeling less overwhelmed after a few weeks of mental chaos. Little more glass half full.
I’m confused. Are Feiglin, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich not Israeli?
Quotes from a right-wing Israeli get together in January isn't completely out of context, but it is pretty out of context for a reaction article to something in June.
Him quoting Hitler isn’t even the main issue in this case
I think it sort of is in the context of this article if the author is seeking a response to cite.
Lastly, if there are not a lot of public quotes condemning this coming out of Israel, for them to quote, isn’t that itself kind of a problem?
Sure, that is possible. But you would assume someone citing Hitler in Israel would get some sort of response, so not touching that at all seems like an omission. Yanis's thoughts on that are less interesting to me than a random Israeli teenager on Omegle. Also, this Feiglin person seems to have last held office in 2015 (I don't know, just a quick Google), which might be useful context. I want to know if this nutter has any hope of grasping political power, or if he's the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh.
Fair, I presume you are correct in how it will be applied. That said, given that Reddit has only ever burned cash, there has to be some connection to gravity...I think?
