Let's not forget Something Awful and YTMND now. Should reboot those too. Maybe assemble them all together like Vultron or something.

Yeah the HT269-GH262J has nothing on the HT269-GH262J-P#@/JKL

Digg lost its popularity for the same reason Reddit is. It started taking investment money and began to please only the share holders. Yeah it's private owned again, but they will just repeat the cycle because the temptation is there.

I've only been using Lemmy for a few months, but it seems to me that taking any instance public will not be a feasible business model. i don't recommend anyone go back to digg unless you just like watching enshitification happen. Should they reboot Ebaulmsworld while they're at it? I know that last statement struck a nerve!

I got warned on Reddit for saying someone deserved a dick punch for making his friend choke on a ping pong ball. Is it time for Reddit to go the way of Digg yet? What's Digg you say? Exactly.

You know what's a great backup? The ability to read a map or use a compass. This is set up to get Starlink or another billionaire to own GPS.

Sort what you know is predictable bs. For example, you know the bad actors are going to always say or do outrageous things for distraction. I use the uBlock Origin browser plugin with filters for “Trump” “Elon” “Maga” and most news sites have about 2 or 3 articles worth reading. Entries even get blanked on Lemmy. Instead of seeing “TRUMP, ELON, MAGA DO THIS!!!” You now see “Secretary of Defense halts Cybersecurity from offensive attacks on Russia” from a decent source. This narrows most news to either things that may affect you directly or helps you build a better informed opinion. Also, if you are in the US, take every opinion from the house of reps and the senate and throw it in the trash. Until they quit acting like children and begin negotiating like adults, they have absolutely nothing good to say. That’s a good chunk of the “news” right there. So when you see stuff like “REP INTRODUCES BILL TO …” just stop reading. If you care to look further look for the bill number and actually read it. Most of the time it’s really stupid crap tactics just to rile up the public. They have been doing that for well over a century. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

tl;dr: sort the troll news.

From the linked court document in the article: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.insd.215482/gov.uscourts.insd.215482.99.0.pdf?ref=404media.co

"For the reasons set forth above, the Undersigned, in his discretion, hereby RECOMMENDS that Mr. Ramirez be personally SANCTIONED in the amount of $15,000 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 for submitting to the Court and opposing counsel, on three separate occasions, briefs that contained citations to non-existent cases. In addition, the Undersigned REFERS the matter of Mr. Ramirez's misconduct in this case to the Chief Judge pursuant to Local Rule of Disciplinary Enforcement 2(a) for consideration of any further discipline that may be appropriate"

Mr. Ramirez is the dumbass lawyer that didn't check his dumbass AI. If you read above the paragraph I copied from, he gets laid into by the judge in writing to justify recommendation for sanctions and discipline. Good catch by the judge and the processes they have for this kind of thing.

I remember a time when Google wrote "Don't be evil" all over their stuff.....
