I’m shocked, I say. Shocked!
The idea of an app being used to gather additional datea from a customer!

I’ll let people in on a secret: I’ve quietly been working to that list for Unitedkingdom and UK Politics when I try to make decisions on whether a source is valid or not. That, and reminding people that DMG has other outlets, such as ThisIsMoney.
If people would like to codify it more formally, we can do that.
I was eagerly anticipating “I’m looking for a gift for my aunt”.
So that’s why people have started modifying their cars to have the indicators always-on!
No plug! It was just a PCI card with breakout cables. (Which I should definitely track down soon!)
I still have my PCI 0404 somewhere. I should really work out where, before it gets accidentally binned!
This is good feedback, the Mint team could definitely streamline things, maybe even with a “help pick”.
Because it’s not immediately apparent which to use (Cinnamon/MATE/Xfce).
I’m not sure how the resolve the mirror issue, sadly.
The cost of serving the data directly would be very high, but doing so would avoid scaring people. Unfortunately, it’s hard for them to 100% guarantee every mirror is safe (even though they are!), which means they have to leave instructions on how to verify.
Selling pre-loaded USB sticks would be very cool, but people would have to be interested enough to spend £20.
Please try to calm down a bit mate.
We can appreciate your frustration: It is not a fun situation when the main options for the government both support the horrible things happening in the Middle East.
I can promise you, we don’t enjoy it either. People choose to vote tactically to put the most pressure on the lesser of two evils, and avoid an even more questionable result (CON+REF+DUP coalition, anyone?)
Hopefully, one day we can see AV coming into practice. And we can see MPs better representing the votes of the nation.
And until then, we can continue to put pressure on bad situations, via the small parties, via protest. But not by cutting off our noses to spite our faces.
Please be civil with people on feddit.uk. Shouting is not civil.
What is it you’re expecting to find at the bottom of this hole you’re digging?
Does he also do that thing where people buy out a company using debt loaded onto the company they’re buying?
And a very important section, that does not surprise me at all:
The low success rate of applications has been put down, in part, to an increasingly number of speculative applications being submitted. Industry reports show a rise in so called “phantom projects” in these cases, developers submit multiple applications for many sites, with the expectation being that very few will connect. These speculative and duplicate applications have seen the connections queue grow, increasing the work needed to progress projects.
It becomes a sad self-fulfilling prophecy. Applications take a long time to process, so companies fling lots in parallel, then only use the first to get through.
Which means that applications take even longer to get through.
Mike Ashley didn’t actually want a game shop, he wanted people spending £70 on each football/COD release, then buying that season’s team strip on the way out of the shop.
Thanks for the post, it persuaded me to get off my bottom and add another one to the list.
I’m not sure if there is a way to quickly find this. The best bet is probably trying the bigger instances, and seeing if it’s accessible through them.
You’ve made me think now: it might be a nice project for a some instance admins to flag when an instance they had received posts from goes offline. (I should probably check what I have from feddit.de!)
Yes. It’s a legitimate inserted banner that goes on every inbound. It just blew my mind a bit that the correct action was to click a link in an email!
This is the thing, the balance of anonymity and preventing people using that anonymity to be a tit.
In my opinion, one of the answers is keeping the signal-to-noise high: Make sure that there are enough sensible people in a community that if someone starts acting up, they’re alone. And then they can either correct their course, or get banned, ideally before the next moron shows up.
And part of the way of achieving that is raising the barrier to sign-up, if only a little, and rate limiting.
Just for context, the full database of feddit.uk compresses down to about 4GB. I am not sure what’s going to happen to the ghosts long term, but I don’t think storage will be a huge issue.
And the shoe will probably drop at some point. Something like “communities must have nitro to access posts from more than 6 months ago”.
Or that 50% of the users on the discord only went there to find one thing, and probably won’t ever interact again.
So it looks like a bigger community, while losing accessibility.
I’ve found this when trying to get a decent USB>9-pin Serial connector.
You think it’s your software, or something weird going wrong. Then you swap over a name-brand adapter, and the thing just works.
