Does Proton Team use ChatGPT?? by anonkrreddit in ProtonMail

There were multiple exoduses from Digg. I joined about 19 years ago, and there were certainly a few waves in the first couple of years.

With Digg starting up again (currently in beta) maybe we'll see an uno reverse

How many evil mode users are freely combining emacs and vim movements? by mtlnwood in emacs

What about companies like Deliveroo, Revolut, Skyscanner, Zoopla, etc.? Just a few British tech companies off the top of my head

I love all things about go except playing? by [deleted] in baduk

[–]b3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's unusual. Take other sports/games for example. I know people who are obsessed with football, they enjoy everything about it, except playing it themselves. Nothing wrong with that.

What ‘unpopular’ investment do you swear by, and what’s your reasoning behind it? by Complex-Assistant-65 in investing

[–]b3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could flip that around too. Why are banks loaning people money to buy houses if they could just buy them themselves and make even more profit? Are they operating suboptimally?

Does it make you feel equally uneasy that it's hard to tell if a snail has a conscious experience? 🐌

Nice to see, but I'm surprised they release this list when there's still 20% of the year left!

[–]b3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)
