This story is big enough that NPR cares to talk about it?

I'm on the Samsung s22, I'm assuming it has something to do with the smaller than average screen

Ha! I wasn't trying for that outcome, but it sure worked! Even for me reading my own comment, it runs off the screen

Commenting from Kbin on Firefox, where I have to rotate my phone to landscape orientation to read full comments. If I keep it in portrait, some comments will randomly run off the side of my view, and zooming out doesn't help.

It's not perfect. I'm very much hanging in there until some sort of upgrade comes along. Lemmy.world has been unable to get me signed in, so there's that.

Time to go write posts and upload pictures that have nothing to do with Reddit.

RIP
I thought I'd check it one more time this evening, but no. Nothing there.

I was about to make a post like this. Trying to explain this whole situation to someone this morning, and found myself feeling way more feelings than I expected to feel over losing an app.

But it's more than an app. For the last 7 years, it's where my nerds hang out. It's where I could get actual humans responding to weird questions.

It's also the place where I often got shouted down and told in many ways that I'm stupid.

I expected these two things to balance each other out, but no. I'm sad to lose Reddit, upset that the reason is greed, and a little apprehensive about relying on Kbin for all my forum contend from now on. It's been great here so far, but I'm only just getting started.

Why is a rock band weighing in on health concerns?

Google, duck duck go when I don't want to see ads for days based on what I'm searching, Bing and Perplexity when I want to avoid doing a series of searches to learn something.

I usually hear numbers less than 10 used with times less. Do you have an example for 100 times less? I'm curious to see this figurative trainwreck.

Car for sure. I don't live near water, I don't have much use for a boat.

"times less" is not an intuitive, easy to understand way of referring to a decrease in some amount or percentage.
