I don't think they wanted black lung, they wanted jobs.
And the Dev has been awesome. Very active project.
It's been bad since the patriot act.

I agree on all counts. But the Donald was banned for mostly on topic posts. Reddit is a private business and they can do what they want, but there's consequences to their actions too. reddit has become an echo chamber now.

It is hard to identify though, someone is always offended by something. Free speech is about protecting speech you hate, not speech you agree with.
Re:Digg is gone again on Saturday March 14, 2026 @11:42AM (#47377804)
Who decides what "hate" is though? Does it switch with every administration? Free speech, including "hate speech" should be allowed, as long as it doesn't violate the law (calls to violence, etc)

You said you deleted your Gmail, I'm assuming you moved to another service.

Why regulate it? You don't have to use it (as you clearly moved elsewhere). Out of curiosity, where did you move to?
Re:Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race on Thursday November 06, 2025 @10:52PM (#45843408)
Great response! Its very trendy to say things like "capitalism is gross" or "billionaires shouldn't exist" but the truth is, capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than anything else in the history of the world. Moreover, billionaires (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc) didn't "steal" anything from you to get there. No one forced you to buy an iPhone.
Re:Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race on Thursday November 06, 2025 @10:31PM (#45843295)
Why? What power? Being rich (billionaire rich) is fine as long as you didn't steal it from someone. Who are we to say how much money someone can have?

What's the issue with billionaires?

Happens often if you're using documents that are signed with a smart card. Sadly, browsers can't sign PDFs yet either.

Re:Why is my Raspberry Pi 4 too slow as a server? on Tuesday June 24, 2025 @11:51PM (#44373494)
For me a huge win for the pi is the power consumption vs a cheap mini PC refurbished from Dell.
That's really an oversimplification. They don't care what a woman does with her body, they care about the childs rights.

You probably mean edit.com, which is what I thought of when I saw this post.
