They mean banned from Reddit entirely, not from specific subs

I’m sure that’s true. Doesn’t mean I think we should bring the jailbait sub back in the interest of freeze peach.

Reply to This Swiss hypersonic hydrogen-powered jet will cut flights from Europe to Australia to 4 hours by altmorty
Skin heating is the usual problem: repeated heating eventually takes any hardening out of the material leading to failure. Plus, hydrogen is very bulky. That airframe doesn't look large enough. You'd need a denser fuel.

The cool thing about this in the retrocomputing space is how phenomenally mindblowing it would have been to see that coming across your 1200 baud modem in the 1980s. Hell, just chatting with a real person that way was pretty incredible.
Imagine a chatGPT BBS that would be the equivalent of playing an old INFOCOM text adventure but everything taking place in the real world! With the BBS sharing knowledge, solving problems, and downloading files from around the world before the Internet was a thing.

Though I think reddit has been a little overzealous in their suspensions lately. Like the mods of /r/girlfriendreviews got suspended for playing Hogwarts Legacy on stream and being harassed for it. Which is ridiculous.
And more and more I see accounts that are suspended for I don't even know what. A reddit post will turn up in a search result and it will be very helpful, then I click the user to see more from them, and they are suspended.
They can't all be up to some shady shit.
It really feels like reddit is overall getting worse and worse, and I can't help but think it's at least partially due to permabanning good users.

Right, Type 1 diabetics can’t produce insulin, but their body can use insulin. Type 2 diabetics produce insulin but can’t use it. Insulin dependent Type 2 diabetics would still need a way to use the insulin they make.

You’re just exaggerating for clicks. Teams has made incredible improvements in the last 2 years and has supported APIs for literally every business application. Go back to your bridge troll.

People don't like it not because they are offended by seeing it, they don't like it because it is posting pornographic material of people without their knowledge or consent.

Reply to comment by NanditoPapa in Panera rolls out hand-scanning technology that has raised privacy concerns by eastbayted
I think that's the big thing for me. My distrust for companies, especially those operating here in the US, is high enough that I aim to give them as little extra data as possible. I've worked for too many companies and startups here to see that their handing of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is quite often a joke.

I’m not sure what’s worse, that or Slack desktop and Slack mobile not syncing when you’ve read a notification.

It’s very different. The pathology is different.

I'm personally not in favor of biometrics, but I live in a country where CC theft isn't a big issue (Japan). I'm not sure if living in the US with skimmers, pickpockets, and muggings would change the narrative around security. There's also a convenience angle. On a date you can't claim you forgot your wallet when the bill comes...
It comes down to "Do we trust companies?" The answer, uniformly, should be "No." and that's the end of it.

Cool now get rid of the subs that post fake/ simulated rape/assault/humiliation/jailbait porn.
Reddit’s banning stuff that’s already illegal, great job?

It is is easier to steal a credit card for sure. However is the potential biometric security risk worth it? If a CC is stolen most places can cancel the card in minutes and even reverse any charges that may have been made. Digital wallets may also be more secure. This just feels like a "cool" convenience, and too many companies opt for these to entice customers while overlooking potential risks.

I actually thought that was a really clever response, wasn't being sarcastic in my response. It deserved better.
