Australia heavily advertised multiculturalism and anti-racism during the '70s and '80s and then stopped. It seemed effective. We had one not very racist generation.

People noticed when the same story was reposted with different characters. The reposts got deleted

All the advice subs had a lot of fiction

Genderswap reposts were common and generally got a little traction before being reported and deleted, so it's plausible that it's a real story

Not that I rank AITA as a font of true drama

I like that many of the people who should be banned here herd into instances that are defederated

Old Reddit + adblock + visiting a specific subreddit is hardly soul destroying

I wouldn't browse my old Reddit feed, I would visit a few subs that don't have representation here. All hobbies and interests.

So it's big and diverse ecosystem with multiple standards to choose between

The problem isn't that it's missing something like cpan, it's that there are ten incompatible ones to choose between

Remind me not to learn python. If I get into microcontrollers I shall use their C++ like language not micropython ;)

I really like the ability to dig up code from twenty years ago and just run it

Most bikes are stable and a cyclist can weight shift to turn gently without touching the handlebars

Mine is a recumbent that steers with long handlebars. The handlebars prevent the bike from balancing itself.

Yours might have barely stable geometry, or badly placed weight on the handlebars

Steering keeps you upright in the same way a broom handle balanced on your hand is kept up by moving you hand around

Gyroscopic effects are negligable

The worst is when the password manager (KeePass in this case) is in quick unlock mode in its default configuration "enter the last four characters of your password"

Me: like I can remember how my password ends. Just let me type the whole thing

How do you then activate cruise control for cool?

Working from home, connecting to a VM, you can use a password manager on your machine to log into the VM

And your home machine can be always logged on, or fingerprint unlock, or USB stick unlock or whatever

 

When I refresh a post, all the comments I have hidden become unhidden

When I comment, all the comments I have hidden are unhidden

Please make remember hidden comments, ideally f forever, but at least for the session. The current state of hidden comments is frustrating

Reddit Enhancement Suite for example keeps hidden stuff hidden, and annotates the root hidden comments with a count of new unread comments above them
