They’re not tri folds. They only have two folds.

We don’t call single fold phones bi-folds. We just call them folding phones.

Yeah I’m inclined to agree. There is a lot of “this isn’t speculation”, yet there’s a lot of speculation. A source on where it says this in Project 2025 would be handy.

Fictional girls are hard to get too.

Because they’re fictional.

I’m not American, but surely going down 8 points isn’t that bad, right?

Well, I kind of disagree with the up/down votes being inherently bad, as they more front-load early posting rather than accurate posting. Meaning early engagement is likely to have higher upvotes rather than engagement which is factual and well thought out. This incentivizes much more emotional and meme posting.

I’ve seen it happen time and time again on Reddit and even here: someone makes post, bunch of people react only to the headline, or spread misinformation, and by the time nuanced posts and thought out posts are made, engagement has plummeted and people have moved on to the next thing.

Yeah, but in this day and age we’re going to grow with easy-to-consume content e.g. memes. Once growth hits a critical mass then the niche communities will come.

I would imagine if you made karma points limited on the spender side rather than unlimited, then it might make users “try harder” to get validation, thus improving the quality of content on average.

Or it all could be bullshit and fail. Hard to say. You are right though, it’s all manufactured for engagement.

I think the only way to really fix this is to make votes a limited asset that accounts have. There are forums where this has worked okay: bodybuilding.com forums has a reputation system where accounts are limited in what they can give to other voters.

As long as “karma” is unlimited it suffers from the same problems whether you count it in aggregate or not. As some other commenters have said, people still seek validation in individual comments. I know because I do too.

“Is this flirting?”

I have ad blocker. I don’t comment. I don’t post. I only downvote. I only view my home feed. I only do all this on PC, and URL-blocked Reddit off my phone, significantly reducing the time I have to search.

But sometimes I just need to have the content there. I think I’ve done about the best I can considering.

Not Halo.

HALO 2!

You’re right. Reddit was naive to expect that people would give a positive value to something they inherently disagreed with.

Of course, now they’re going to punish people who agree with things that Reddit doesn’t agree with.

No, originally they were supposed to be for content that contributes and added value, even if you didn’t agree:

But the amount of “came here to say this” and “haha epic updoot for you sir” has made it pretty clear that the karma whoring was for agreement.

It’s the reason there are echo chambers now.

Don’t get me wrong, the original intent of the upvote/downvote system died a year or two after Reddit started, but Reddit always maintained that upvotes and downvotes weren’t for agreement.

Reddit finally admits that upvotes and downvotes are for agreement and disagreement.

I’ve had a 3D printer about a year now. I’d say I’ve gotten my money’s worth: I’ve printed generally useful things that aren’t just gimmicks.

But I also think I’ve been pretty lucky - there are some problems that I just don’t have the patience to deal with right now, for example some materials just don’t adhere to the bed. But I haven’t had anything fundamental that would make me really pissed off.

I could have totally seen myself in the same position as you if I ended up with a dud printer or something. It’s getting a lot better but it’s certainly not an instant plug-and-play device for most people.

What’s the third evolution?
