Apple today released the fourth beta of macOS Ventura 13.5 to its public beta testing group, allowing the general public to try out the software...

Why do you care? Is kbin.social not a free speech platform? If not, I’ll find somewhere else to go.

I don’t even agree with these folks, but if people are going to start raising a big stink because people are saying things they don’t like, I’m out.

Is this their second comeback?

 

The WSJ reports that Google started internally testing a new service called Playables, which allows users to play games on YouTube.

Okay, but what does Ja Rule think?

I STILL want one of these so bad. Wish they weren't so expensive as I just cannot justify spending so much on such an outdated piece of tech :(

Wow! I completely forgot that this existed!

 

And yes I understand the irony in this post

What sane person would possibly invest in a company like this?

Ignoring how inept they’ve been throughout this whole ordeal, they don’t even have control over their own site! It’s pathetic

Fuck off with this shit. Sounds as if you're the one with some sociopathy.

I agree. I think Reddit is delusional if they think they will be able to successfully monetize what are essentially just forums. Reddit users themselves don't give a hoot about Reddit as a brand, company, or product. They care about communities and being able to have discussions on their favorite subjects. There's no secret sauce proprietary to Reddit at all and people will go where ever everyone else is

I haven't seen a single comment that began with "Imagine.." yet. The lack of immature and pointless sarcasm is a breath of fresh air

I've been thinking a lot about why I decided to come here and I know it started off as a "they can't make me use their shitty app!" while simultaneously using test apps that crash and navigating less content than Reddit. What is the primary motivation for all of this anymore? Is anger enough of a motivation to keep people away from a platform long term?

I have a feeling that most folks are more loyal to their communities than they are the company themselves - meaning that no matter how bad the corporation is, sacrificing what they truly care about is not really worth it no matter how poorly they are treated.

If the community goes away, THEN reddit goes away.

But if the only way to access their community is through some shitty app, I don't see it stopping many people.

Jesus Christ you people are insane.

 

Members of the Reddit community r/horny are posting photos of goats and cats following blackout protests over the site's looming API charges.
