  • The userbase. I don’t care much for anything else on your list, I think things as they are aren’t perfect but I’m ok with it as is. Reddit is the same or worse. But the userbase is different. Less trolls, more tech savvy people, more FOSS. Overall better answers, except on certain niche areas.

    Also it’s less invasive visually and mentally. Reddit is riddled with ads and links to other posts very much like YouTube has suggested videos on the side. I don’t need this information overload. Annoying. I used to be able to control it using Boost for reddit but hey, guess what.

    And if I really need to go to Reddit, I do. Nothing stops me from lurking if I want. Occasionally I use it, I think over the last 2 years I’ve posted like five times on Reddit.

    I like being able to choose what I want when I want it.


  • Okay I would ask questions for any amount of money unless they tell me first. The people I feel I would easily give money are also the same people who I’d expect they tell me first why- they wouldn’t be “hey mothra got some spare 100s?”

    To answer your question, I would easily give 10 to about a dozen people or so, 100 to half of them and 1k+ to only 3, and for a very good reason only. I didn’t even realize the number of people would halve.




  • Okay just if you’re wondering, no it’s not a new color outside of the six or seven main colors but just an impossibly saturated green. The article explains that the retina has receptors for blue, green and red waves but that it’s impossible to see green without stimulating the blue and/or red one way or another. Their laser method manages to only stimulate the green receptors, so the shade of green that you see is impossible to be seen in any other way.

    Never. I can’t stand the crowds and the loud music. And I don’t appreciate the crowds singing and screaming on top of the music either. I’ve been to concerts like two times in my life just because others insisted so much I joined them, and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be.

    I’m just not cut for them.

    I don’t think I bought band related merch ever, but I’ve seen some really cool stuff so that is something I would consider if the opportunity presented itself.


  • Very interesting, a step in the right direction at least.

    Now, I don’t understand things in fine detail but wouldn’t this “force with package upon purchase” that google does with the play store and chrome the same gimmick Windows does with its Microsoft suite trash (and other apps)? If you manage to uninstall some of them they’ll be reinstalled the next update without your consent.

    So my question is, why is only Google getting in trouble when there are others doing similar things?
