Well… the type of stuff we long for are still around, it’s just that we don’t visit it as much anymore. Lemmy is a perfect example of this - it’s around, it’s better, but people still default to Reddit instead.

That’s because they’re trying their best to ignore and silence him to death.

I… I thought a middle manager is any manager who’s not the very lowest manager, and not the CEO? As in, any manager who has managers above and below them?

No, I did not have to learn that the hard way. I could have learned it another way. You’re objectively wrong. And you don’t always have a backup. Especially not back in 1995, when this happened. Back then, backups typically happened nightly. So even with a backup, I would still have lost a day’s worth of work.

I fell for a similar (but less) obvious joke on my first Linux installation back in 1995. That one used dd instead of rm. I lost a lot of code that I had written. After that, I’ve failed to see the humor in this kind of joke. There’s always the risk that someone new doesn’t understand it’s a joke, and tries it out.

I’m assuming he threatened her as she was going into or coming out of the restroom.

Perfect, thank you very much! That means I’m a lot more likely to back it.

Interesting. To be useful for me, they’d have to come with “unlit” versions, since I always add actual dynamic lights (flickering torches, etc) in Foundry VTT. With lamp light drawn on the floor, it would look silly since that won’t be visible from a distance - only when a PC’s light source shines on it, which makes no sense.

Calm yourself, man. You seem a little bit emotional there. How on earth do you presume to know my political affiliations when you don’t even know which side of the fucking planet I’m on? Get a grip.

Where do they say that they want microphones listening to people? Just because someone doesn’t like some ways of talking, doesn’t mean that they want 1984-style surveillance of everyone.

Correct. But being a private company without shareholders, as I said, means that there are no shareholders. :-)

So a private company without shareholders will be the first, then.

Yes, and the same goes for “medium”: one medium, several media. When people say “media” now, they typically mean what used to be referred to as “mass media”, that is, newspapers, TV, etc.
