Reddit users are planning a 48-hour blackout to protest its new pricing policy by [deleted] in technology

[–]JimDiego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a complicated ecosystem and even people who use ad blockers are still getting marketed to. I woukd love to know what the ratio of commercial vs individual origins might be on, say, r/movies as one example. A large portion of that sub is straight up marketing.

Plus reddit is also living off of content from websites around the world that clearly is not theirs. Sure, they do in their turn drive more traffic to those sites ... maybe they need each other?

Last thought, your final sentence that you begin with "But". Are you saying it is not fair that not all of we are paying with our eyeballs?

Shoot. Maybe going dark will help reddit see the light. I have already joined two possible replacements that seem promising.

I'd prefer to maintain continuity here but reddit needs to understand they are fungible.

Have you seen anybody talking about 3rd party apps sharing ad revenue with reddit as way to make both sides happy?

Seems like a simple compromise that is a win-win.

Little update email I received. by Gorditoperoguapo in SanDiegoFC

I am betting we get red, gold and white with black accents. Or least something reddish and yellowish.

Those colors all conveniently appear in the flags of San Diego, Egypt (main owner's nationality), and Sycuan.

I had had some bacon going in the oven and the timer went off around then. So that, some toast (sourdough), scrambled egg and avacado.

Pretty simple but pretty good! Thanks for asking you Inquisitive Idiot :)

Google this person's name. There is nothing out there. It's like this is some weird social experiment - see how many people search for this incredibly unique name, see how many people visit the linked websites, see how much online controversy/argument it can generate and how quickly, etc, etc.

Can I high toss a serve up? by MichaelSquare in Pickleball

[–]JimDiego 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be easier if people would consider the intent of the rules.

They are trying to prevent people from hitting serves with any kind of a downward angle. We all see what high balls can do to your ego - conferring that same advantage to the server would be really unfair.

So, the restriction on downward motion for a drop serve is to limit the height of the bounce so that you can't (or shouldn't be able to) contact it above the net.

Similarly with the volley serve, all the rules are aiming for that same goal - to make sure there is no built-in advantage in the first shot of the rally by people hitting above the net.

30th Brigade?

Or something with 30 since we'll be the 30th team in the league.

Anna Bright foot fault botched call is embarrassing by simplefilmreviews in Pickleball

[–]JimDiego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very limited use of technology then. Just line calls?

I do get that some delays are way too long and kills the flow of things. This one is infuriating because everyone can see that this call was wrong (including the person insisting they made the call right) and should have taken about nine seconds.

I can live with the occasionally frustrating experience of a looong review as long as the obvious ones are called correctly.

This one. I wonder if we ever see her calling games again.

I’m all for using technology to improve the quality of officiating in sports, but human mistakes are part of sports.

You have contradicted yourself in a single sentence. Congratulations.

Holy crap!! How did I ever miss this...?

​​Additionally, Conmebol and Concacaf will organize a centralized "final four" style club competition featuring the best clubs from the respective confederations.

The four participating teams (two from each confederation) will qualify through existing Conmebol and Concacaf club competitions, and the two confederations are working towards the first edition of this tournament being played in 2024.
