I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.
2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg’s suicide, it was the beginning of the end.
And now he’s is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don’t fuck it up this time, Kevin.
We’re in Lemmy.world but I’m sure they got the message.
And at least the average Lemmy user isn’t a complete fucking idiot.
I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.
Your attack missed!
You can pull the Enron card when talking about investments in general; your comments do 0 damage.
That was so funny I forgot to laugh.
Seriously, I do not have faith in USD anymore. What’s left of my paycheck after bills all goes to BTC, and I sell what I need on demand to cover day to day costs. Been doing this since 2019 and it has paid off handsomely.
My portfolio disagrees.
Y’all should have bought BTC when the price was hovering around $19K about 3 years ago. I told you the price was going to go up, but no one listened. Now it’s at $105K, I’m $60k richer, and y’all are still whining and complaining that it’s a “scam”.
Hate to break it to you, but bitcoin isn’t to crash and burn anytime soon. It’s still early; buy in now or regret it for the rest of your life.
TBF, that’s not even a taco. He just put some of his food on a tortilla. It’s a common thing to do in Mexican culture.
Because he always acts this way when someone asks him a question he doesn’t like. Refuses to answer, then gaslights and calls them “nasty”. Typical narcissist shit.
Same. Thought it was just my ADHD
I was really getting into that article, and then it just just suddenly ends. How anticlimactic. I was hoping the article writer was a bit more dedicated towards finding out why Google posted his personal number in the first place…
You can say that about literally any consumer product, however.
Kevin Rose is in charge again? I thought he sold Digg after the massive failure that was v4 back in 2010.
Either way, I’m glad to see that digg is coming back. Reddit needs more competition. I’m hopeful that they will succeed this time around and steal back the user base that migrated to reddit and helped make them become the evil giant they are today (I am one such migrant).
LMAO
Aww that’s disappointing, but I’m not surprised. Otherwise we’d be using this tech to help colorblind people tell the difference between red and green.
Maybe it’s just my ADHD, but the article doesn’t seem to be clear on something: do these contacts actually allow you to see into near-infrared as it exists, or do they merely shift the light into a spectrum we can see, the way cameras do? I’m hoping for the former, but I doubt we have the tech to allow us to see new colors simply by putting on a pair of contacts.
(Also, the mental image of scientists putting tiny little contact lenses on mice is hilarious to me.)
So don’t stare directly at them, then?
Infrared lights don’t need a lot of wattage to do their job. They wouldn’t be any more obnoxious than a light bulb.
Yes CamelCamelCamel is still useful. I check it every time before a major purchase.
I hope you’re right. Nintendo has turned into a bunch of cocky assholes and they need to be taught a hard lesson. I hope the Switch 2 flops so hard, costing them so much that they don’t have any spare money left to continue suing the Palworld devs. They need to be put in their place.
