The question that is unknown is what percent of reddit's userbase uses exclusively third party clients vs those who use reddit's official client. And then, what portion of the third party userbase will migrate to the official client after those third party clients go away.
I'm sure spez knows at least the first set of numbers, and they find the amount of expected loss to be an acceptable risk.

The various alternative reddits that have popped up in the past prove the tech stack isn't complex. Their lack of user adoption shows that the secret sauce is the userbase, not the tech.

SimCity 2000 is definitely my favorite. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a version of it with a larger map (or infinite map).

But the moment the default stops working well, there had better be a configuration somewhere to change it so it works well again.

Depending on if they can move their neck much they might have a forehead dot to track movement for a mouse cursor and a tongue/lip device for clicking. Then it's just onscreen keyboards. Other devices I've heard of are cheek movement or even eye tracking.

I'd say they are allowed to have unions, local governments just need to be able to exert meaningful oversight even with the unions.

Another useful command that's missing is `\o filename.txt`. The next query's output will be written to the file instead of stdout. \o again with no arguments to turn it off.

Too bad the data center version is incredibly expensive, and going up again.

I'm just a user, but I really wish the web team had waited a bit longer to push it out. Not having any of the UI related about:config options available is really unfortunate.
Stable just feels unfinished in its current state, I'm not sure about Nightly. I prefer my browser to not surprise me with much of anything, so I prefer not to be on the bleeding edge.

As a current Jira admin, I constantly have to fight this. A non dev team came into Jira and implemented a huge octopus of a workflow (despite my strong advice against it) and were shocked to find out it didn't really help them work better.
The handful of teams inside that department that I've gotten to switch over to a simpler To Do / In Progress / Done style workflow have been much happier.
Jira has many, many faults, but most of them are what the users do to themselves.
