Ahhh. That’s the reason for his recent love letter to North Korea. He’s puttin’ da squeeze on dose Sout’ Koreans ta pony up some bucks.

I know of one Redditor, who did a monthly edit on his posts and comments with an app that did not delete content, but replaced it with gibberish.

Bit of an autocorrect error of punctuation, there. The sentence should read, ‘J.K. Rowling did nothing. Wrong’.

Thanks from me as well. I was thinking it meant ‘public display of fucking.’

Heya folks! Me again - to give a little more context, the account in question was temporarily restricted due to a routine security step that requires the account holder to reset their password (this can happen if it’s been a while since a user last logged on, among other reasons). Because of a bug, the account was incorrectly shown as “banned” (even though it wasn’t). We’re working on fixing this bug so these issues don’t happen in the future. Just to be really clear again, the mods here had nothing to do with this and never banned Sir Paul.

Thank you, FDT, for making me aware that macca had a reddit account. I won’t be following it, but it’s intersting to know that it exists.

Yeah, I’m thinking they’ve done an ‘upgrade’ to the modbots, and they’ve gone alittle HAL9000. I’ve gone 3 years without a ‘hate speech’ ding - then got two in two consecutive days, from different subs. I think I’ve figured out one of them, but the other…

From AP News:

In explaining the need to move France’s aircraft carrier, Macron cited Monday’s strike on a British air force base on Cyprus, adding that Cyprus was a member of the European Union with which France has recently signed a strategic partnership.

Not (yet) WWIII, but t’ain’t no ‘brush fire’ war.

And Merz is from Jupiter- a large ball of gas.

And now, they’re executing a prepared plan to sow chaos, in the hope that they can make things uncomfortable enough for the attackers and their allies, that they can negotiate an end (for now) to hostilities. From the article:

Part of the regime’s approach has been to decentralise military decision-making to prevent its forces from being incapacitated by assassinations of top commanders, with Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi suggesting Tehran’s forces were acting independently. “Our military units are now, in fact, independent and somewhat isolated, and they are acting based on general instructions given to them in advance,” he told Al Jazeera television network on Sunday.

And how much content are they hosting? Some months ago, I did a search for reply formatting tips - and got an entry from 14 years ago. Do they really have the whole of Reddit available like that, or have they put Some of it in cold storage?
