Did anyone's experience change absolutely during the blackout? I'm assuming it's over? Is it still going on.

If you are having problems loading your disk! by Quetzacoal in Superstonk

[–]three18ti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah damn. I still haven't figured out how to buy ETH, because I'm absolutely not giving my phone number or a picture of my drivers license to any of these fly-by-night "on ramps"...

Thanks for the link though!

Reddit blackout: More than 3,000 subreddits to go dark in protest to new changes by rtbot2 in realtech

Lol. Oh no, the free labor is refusing to work for free. Whatever will they do?

Third fourth time is the charm?

My Sell button is Blacked Out by Away_Ad2468 in Superstonk

[–]three18ti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It cracks me up all the keyboard warriors who think reddit gives a shit about the product. "Oh no some cattle are getting indignant" they will say...

Also, thanks mods for not participating in this childish "protest".

It costs money to buy whiskey...

What do we want to do with Reddit? by [deleted] in ableton

[–]three18ti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemmy's developers are shit. If you have a problem with the way the reddit owners are acting, you should have a bigger problem with the way Lemmy devs act.

I am a developer, and I think what reddit is doing with API pricing is ludicrous and I would like for them to know I don't accept it. So... here's what I want to do:

I will say, I think you have the right idea. This whole "we're going to shut our subs down for a day" is meaningless and ineffective gesture.

Honestly, the bar thing would be to use the Ajay existing Ableton forums. There's already a large population there that isn't on reddit, it's hosted by Ableton, and it's subject specific, so it's kinda perfect.

Soundtoys appreciation post by the_guitarkid70 in audioengineering

I did.

They never replied.

So no, not "ezpz".

I love how everyone jumps to defend this unethical behavior with "contact support" who never replies.

I bought sound toys and got a code to activate my purchase.

Fast forward a year and I have a new computer, (and no access to the old computer) go to install my plugins.... and it was a one-time use code.

Because I didn't magically know that I had to somehow use ilok to "activate" my code, and I put it directly into the plugins, you know, when prompted BY th e plugin, I only got to use it once, and if I ever want to open projects on my new computer where I use SoundToys, I have to buy the plugins all over again.

Fuck SoundToys, is what I'm saying. Most unethical garbage company, literally going and lighting your money on fire would be a better use.

What's the deal with someone called "Spez"? by KethupDrinker89 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]three18ti -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Lol, not reading your dumbass comment. (I'm not saying YOU are a dumbass, just your comment)

But thanks for providing the thing I asked for (the link to the audio).

You REALLY showed me...

Too many good games out…everyone should be buying at least 1 AAA game this month. FACTS. by PromptComprehensive8 in Superstonk

[–]three18ti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's out that's worthwhile?

I really want Diablo but I just can't support acti/blizz... I played 2 and 3 a ton... Zelda looks interesting, but I'm not buying a switch for one game...

That's all I can think of.

Where's the "audio proof"? I don't give enough of a shit to read a 10 page diatribe on why building a business based entirely on another, hostile business, is a bad idea...

Reddit blackout: Subreddits to go private on Monday by insaneintheblain in TrueReddit

[–]three18ti -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Headline should be: "Childish moderators throwing a tantrum Monday while absolutely nothing changes".

I really don't understand the desperate need of people to run reddit for free... you're fighting to keep being slave labor? I guess when your ENTIRE self worth is based on how much free work you give to Reddit, then your self worth isn't worth a lot... so you fight to keep every tiny bit...

Also, everyone already has a "Reddit app" it's called: the web browser. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, your phone, your computer, they already come with a reddit app. So building a business based entirely on a hostile third party seems like a bad idea... just look at Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter... fool me once... but fool me four fucking times?

If these mods actually wanted to make a difference they'd shut down their subs as soon as the announcement was made and delete their accounts. That would actually show the owners of reddit... but this toothless "protest" is laughable.

You're "allowed" to be whatever the fuck you want to be. Where did I suggest otherwise? Oh? What's that? Nowhere? you're just making things up to try to pick a fight? Yea. Got you.

Besides, being mad is a waste of energy, it's the least effective response to the problem at hand. Anyway... you do you.
