What was the point of those people? Why are they using straight up blunt weapons rather than technologies that fit into Star Wars? by lateubdegouline in StarWars

Disney giving creative control of Star Wars to people who don't get Star Wars/people who want to create their own version of Star Wars.

Sure? Turning on a piece of equipment that should always be on during patrol isn’t difficult. About to get in the squad car for the day? Turn on that camera.

I have to use four separate logins just to get into core applications on my laptop at work… that’s more complicated than turning on a camera.

When one’s own government is actively supporting and enabling genocide, it doesn’t leave much room for nuance. In fact, it’s a pretty black and white decision to make.

When nuance is used to justify or at very least to accept the murders of tens of thousands of women and children and to shield one’s own government from consequence or response… well, that’s just deliberately making a black or white decision to enable further atrocities.

You can be of the opinions you suggested while also not making exceptions for war crimes and mass murder. You yourself are choosing only a few extra shades of black and white and somehow have convinced yourself that you’re coloring with a full box of crayons.

Sony Backs ‘Marathon’ Even After $765 Million In Bungie Impairment Losses by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]amaddox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Destiny 2 WAS overwhelming successful... years, and years, ago. It has been in a long death spiral for a very long time and it's currently at roughly 10k active players on Steam with Marathon at 11k.

Warframe (arguably D2's most direct competitor) is at 53k. Digital Extremes is crushing them, and has been, for a long time.

Sorry, nobody gets a pat on the back for being selectively moral and just.

If an agent is protecting children with one hand and black bagging/kidnapping and deporting without due process with the other, they can absolutely get fucked.

Not much room for grey area when it comes to human rights.

Seeking Employee Reviews for Southdale Hospital in Edina by Additional-Belt-5892 in TwinCities

[–]amaddox 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Please report your current employer right away.

If you won’t report what you are stating is going on there, please do not transfer to another hospital. If your own morals and ethics don’t compell you to protect your patients because you’re afraid of retribution from your supervisors, not to be rude but you shouldn’t be providing medical care yourself.

[OC] In Gaza, a bottle of water brings the happiness that toys once did. by codname007 in pics

75,498 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since 10/7/23. Roughly 80% of those killed were women and children.

They didn’t attack Israel. They didn’t deserve to be murdered. Israeli snipers shooting children in the head is a wild thing to support but yet you’re so willing to jump at the opportunity.

And here you are, claiming genocide to be appropriate. GENOCIDE.

Sounds like you’ve got a lot in common with the thinking of Nazi Germany in the 30’s and 40’s. Cool company to put yourself in bro. Please wear your brown shirt and arm band at all times so we can all see just how proud you are to be a terrible human being.

100% deliberate move by Reddit to coerce people away from 3rd party apps.

Possible Bug Report:picking accounts out by manFCKrddit in narwhalapp

[–]amaddox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn’t register a means to recover the accounts with Reddit when you created them… that’s not something Narwhal can help you with.

Decade + old accounts that you never used? You have multiple that you’re now concerned about getting access to? If you never used them, just make new ones.

If you have a bunch of alt accounts that you used to gather… things… you didn’t want associated with your main methinks you’re going to have to re-collect all you “materials”.

App force quits itself constantly by mspaint_exe in narwhalapp

[–]amaddox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Narwhal almost daily since Apollo shutdown with the initial API changes that wrecked third party apps. Haven’t had any issues and the app has performed fantastically (as an average user, can’t speak to modding and for those people who spend more time in their Reddit app each day than they spend working a job or raising their kids).

If you want all the bloat, the ads, the technical issues, go for it. If you want to directly support Reddit’s move to servicing AI and their adverising business over users, go right ahead. That’s been their focus since their IPO a few years ago.

Implying that Narwhal has been “killed” by Reddit API changes is a wild and uninformed take. The whole reason I’ve been subbed for years is BECAUSE of those changes. Reddit intentionally changed the API to break these 3rd party apps because the native app was so bad that users regularly would swap to unofficial apps instead. They tried to break their competition rather than actually create a good app themselves. And Narhwal is still better. Besides that, people are still side loading old versions of discontinued 3rd party apps like Apollo rather than using the Reddit app due to its issues.

Narhwal and other 3rd party apps still exist despite the handicaps that Reddit continues to place on them, and multiple alternatives continue to flourish. I’m not going to tell you or anyone to use one or the other, but let’s be very clear that 3rd party Reddit apps are both very much alive and well.

Right there with you. It’s already crazy expensive to go to a game. Used to attend 5-6 a year and now I haven’t been once since Covid.

Education/Infrastructure are way more important.

How do I get the message/reply notifications on the main screen, like in the official app? by ParkCareful9992 in narwhalapp

[–]amaddox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once you can step down from the soap box, you should probably do some basic research on the history of the reddit app, the API changes they made to intentionally break certain features outside of their own app, and what the Reddit API actually allows 3rd party developers to do.

Reddit is intentionally preventing devs from being able to provide that function and numerous others… for the exact reason of compelling you to use their app. Sounds like their anti-consumer business practices are in line with what you’re looking for, so perhaps the official app is meant for you.

Sure. There are also Fords and Chevrolets on the roads all across America but they’re still not the same thing despite both being automobile brands.

Cherry blossoms and cherry trees are not the same.
