That embezzlement conviction of Dalongeville, is both damning and an interesting look at the problem. Liberalism and leftism haven't solved problems that common people actually experience. The right hasn't either and has no real plan to, they just bother to talk about it and give common people a boogie man that they can aim their anger at.

It is frustrating to me how these parties on left barely even try to make people's lifes better. To show them why more leftist or socialist policies are the way to go. It has been proven time and time again throughout history that in times of financial insecurity, normal people are easily swayed by far right strongmen and demonization of a weaker other. Why does the left continue to fail at preventing this?

It also feels like their insistence is doing nothing but hurting them. The average consumer who doesn't know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft account won't know or care about MS doing this.

But the users who do have a preference and do want a local account are just going to be irritated at it and give them bad press. They'll eventually figure out how to make a local account anyway and it may be the push they need to migrate off of Windows.

Oh, I didn't even think about that. Definitely makes sense.

In a Korean car too which is funny.

What does the BODG stand for?

It really feels like drug users' demand for drugs that don't kill them would create a market for artisanal drugs, like with the alcohol industry.

If I had any interest in hard drugs, I would be terrified to use them now. I know we're dealing with addicts who aren't making good decisions, but aren't there wealthy coke fiends? How can anyone snort lines at a party if they don't know if it has all this lethal shit in it?

You can also play with it to try and get closer to correct. I had problems with getting an Excel macro working and getting unattended-updates working on my pihole. GPT was wrong at first, but got me partly there and I could massage the question and Google and get closer to the right answer. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get any of it, especially with the macro.

Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.

Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.

Interesting. I'll have to test it when I get home. I'm always signed in and I use RES so could be some other factors causing it to not be a problem for me.

Old Reddit works for me, but I am logged into an account.

That is basically what they did. There are a decent amount of third party apps around that work. I personally use Narwhal.

The further we get from the whole third party app debacle, the more I think this was just a way to kill the most popular apps. The ones that people said made reddit worth using. The ones that got shouted out in Apple keynotes.

Old Reddit works for me. Does it just not work in general for you, or does it not work when not logged into an account?
