If you were to study version control in a comp sci degree, you would study the way it’s implemented, not how to use it. The data models for how to store and access repositories of many files with many changes is interesting, and can have different aspects depending on if it is text content or binary. Is it optimal to store each file as an aggregate of its diffs, no matter how many. Should there be snapshot points, etc?

Those are the aspects of version control that belong in tertiary level computer science. Learning how to use “git add” and “git push” don’t.

It doesn’t require university level study to understand. You took Comp Sci, not applied software development. If you can pass Comp Sci, you should be able to use a system like git without it having been part of a tertiary level curriculum.

makes trusting the company a non-factor
You just have to trust that the community stays on top of things

With your reasoning the latter point doesn’t matter, since you believe no action should be taken when the community discovers things.

If they try to pull anything they would be caught the same way they were before.

They were caught. My problem is that you think being caught deceiving your end users should go unpunished. Betraying your customers in that way should mean the end of the product.

The fact that they do crypto shit is a general argument against them, that your arguments might counteract. The fact that they did SECRET crypto shit should be 100% nuclear.

We are aware of their involvement in crypto shit, and are therefore negative to them. Open source does not mean good (as in not evil), nor good (as in not bad).

Crypto scam scum

it was invented to be a financial transaction tool

Which it failed at

Ignorance about basic physics?

So the same shit as here, except for the “look at how bad Reddit is now” posts?

I didn’t write a single positive word about crypto. I even changed “spam” to “scam”.

I am salty at people hating on reddit with tailored examples to “prove” how shit it has become. It’s basically people trying to tell themselves that things are much better here, and reddit has turned to shit since they left. My guess is that they actually think the content here is kinda sparse, so they need to keep telling themselves they did the right thing.

What a fucking disingenuous post. I can go to reddit now, and most rising posts are about things that interest me, because i subscribe to subreddits that match my interests. If you subscribe to Crypto scam subreddits, you can’t go here and whine about it. Curate your timeline, just like you need to do here.

I’m so sick off all the FUD about reddit. Yes, the reddit management are basically pure evil, I agree. But reddit itself was barely affected by the exodus.

Watching content without paying is one thing. Actually paying the wrong person is actually quite malicious. You deserve to have all your favourite shows cancelled.

Is there a good way to watch on a proper TV? I find that all such sites are browser based, and I’m not keen on typing in urls with the remote control.

It was over the day the studios wanted to have their own services instead of licensing content to Netflix and competitors.
