I assume they mean a similar experience to browsing /r/popular on Reddit. You're getting a feed that isn't tailored to your browsing history, likes or preferences. It's less addicting and the company doesn't need to know anything about you to provide the experience.

Has anyone done the joke about "next big cloud platform" yet?

The closing music choices are excellent.

There was an Instagram account or YouTube channel that used to make funny videos of the films ending with the credits rolling at the exact point the title of the film was said—anyone have any recollection of that?

Who does this appeal to and why? I use Rectangle on OSX to give me the layout options I need which basically amounts to switching between full screen and two apps split vertically, then I use the in-built OSX shortcuts for moving apps between screens.

What kind of workflows suit something as advanced as Window Maker? Where does the line sit between this and something like Gnome? I'm struggling to get my head around the nuances.

Something I've never been able to wrap my head around is how ROMs are dumped for emulators from cartridges? Dumping instructions and assets makes total sense to me, and packaging that up in a data file that can be interpreted by an emulator too, but how does an emulator model the hardware of every 'expansion' chip in a cartridge? How is that dumped from an original cartridge?

Are there any implications of the polling rate not quite aligning as the original controller would've?

No. And a quick search finds possibly one mention of it from 9 years ago on Reddit. It's not widely used.

I lived in Hounslow for thirty years and got the Piccadilly Line daily. I never once heard it referred to as The Tandoor.

Right, and that's expected of the model that the author originally bought into. The problem isn't with the users, the problem is with the author's false expectations of the model.

My personal blog: https://robbell.io

I've had a few posts that have really taken off over the years, although I moved domain some time ago and lost a lot of traffic!

I experienced this myself. I overwrote then deleted all of my Reddit comments during the blackout using PowerDeleteSuite. A week later they were all back. Some people have speculated that because of the large outage Reddit had during the blackout they may have performed a data restore.

I've since run PowerDeleteSuite again and most of my comments have remained deleted. A couple from several years ago have just popped back into existence in the last few days though.

Bicycles exist in the current game—they were brought in as part of a free update. Roads with dedicated cycle lanes were introduced with an official add-on, but by default pedestrians and bikes will share sidewalks. I imagine the new game will roll a lot of their official add-ons into the base game. I also heard that they hired some of the community mod creators which is exciting news.

Lots of speculation on Twitter about this—a failed attempt to re-open all closed subreddits and instate their own moderators. I can't imagine it'd be that, although I do enjoy the conspiracy, and more likely they were using the window of reduced traffic to make some larger changes and they went awry

I've seen an increasing amount of support for 'nuking' your personal reddit history—posts and comments—in protest of the upcoming changes, taking back what Reddit are profiting from. I'm hugely in favour of it, anyone else considering it?
