Writers Guild has nothing to worry about


At least not in the next two years.


Cheering for them to do that for r/nba already. Mods blacked out the sub on the last day of the NBA finals. Zero common sense.


Your anger is justified, but directed at the wrong people.


This is the entire point of the blackout, make reddit unusable to demonstrate that damage to reddit can be done if they don't change their plans.


I care about basketball, not about API costs and I don't find mod's job that much useful for aggregating daily threads on results and most recent NBA relevant tweets.


"I care about getting my $2 T-shirts, not about whether Walmart's employees can afford to pay for rent, food, and heat in the same week without relying on public assistance!"

Just because you don't appreciate the work that other human beings do doesn't mean that they deserve to be treated like shit, nor does it mean that when they stand up against greedy bastards who care neither about them, you, nor the product or service they're selling you should throw them to the wolves just because it inconveniences your life.


Reddit modding is a hobby, not a job you do to feed yourself, stop with drawing ridiculous strawmans.


If basketball discussion is what you care about, then who cares if the discussion takes place on Reddit? Forums are a dime a dozen.


so you care about having a place to gather, to talk about your hobby and usually at the mods' effort to aggregate content (I assume since these are always the most upvoted and most commented threads on match day), but you don't find their job "that much useful"?


what percentage of reddit users use apollo or another 3rd party app?


Depending on which post you look at somewhere between 1% - 6%. But, the more important question is which users use Apollo (or other 3rd party tools).

The answer overwhelmingly is mods and content creators, the most important people to Reddit's success.


That is precisely the point, hit 'em where it hurts.


It's usually as the dark screen intro to the actual video. Not sure whether I've ever seen it as the end credits.


What did you add as an input to GPT-3 and what was your prompt? Have you considered some smaller models like Longformer or Big Bird with fine-tuning on research papers?


We have Mr Mouse in South Park which is far worse in manners compared to your animation


There is a solid video explanation (though the author is undermining the toxicity of the average 4chan /pol/ posts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdM. A really interesting experiment.


One thing I don't like is that they also banned SSH-ing to Colab, which means I can no longer remote SSH to VS Code and use Copilot on the stuff I am working on.


George Schultz is already dead, and Kissinger is 99 years old. By the time a future president is elect I doubt she will have someone to call.


> But the Baltic republic points to its long history of standing up to bullying foreigners, including Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union

Not sure about that. Against Soviet Union surely, but Nazis not at all.



Lithuania did sentence some Nazis in 1935 to deter Germany in Klaipėda/Memel. Then managed to hold onto it till spring of 1939. Then refused Hitler offer to join attacking Poland.

In 1941-1944 people tried to stay away from Nazis and keep a fighting chance against Soviets once they’ll be back. For example Lithuanian SS division was never formed as in other occupied territories. While Germans did push for it, locals actively sabotaged it to have more men for coming anti-Soviet resistance.

Now standing up to Soviets.. while 1944-1952 was pretty decent, summer of 1940 was rather sad.


> Then refused Hitler offer to join attacking Poland.

Which is more than what the ostensibly anti-fascist USSR did.


> Which is more than what the ostensibly anti-fascist USSR did.

The funniest part is that when the USSR started the invade the other half of Poland right after Germany started, none of the allies declared war on the USSR while they had a protection treaty with Poland in the first place.


I mean, of course. The alternative was that Germany takes all of Poland and gets to be more agressive against the allies. The Soviets taking half of Poland was a massive benefit for the allies.


Katyn or Rainiai or 1941 Deportations was a benefit to Allie’s too I guess :)


The dark truth is that probably, yes, it was a benefit to the Allies.


Half of europe being behind iron curtain is beneficial to allies too. Now West got plenty of cheap workforce... Today's China is great too in a sense :)

Looking at Poland army in exile, I bet if those people shot in Katyn were able to escape, that'd have helped allies more than decomposing bodies helped the local ecosystem.


soviets were not part of the allies at the start of the war...


USSR being lord savior from the Nazis is the best marketing campaign ever. And that sells like hot bagels :(

Joint parades in Poland, training German armies in secrecy, Gulag tours to learn about concentration camps, selling strategic resources right up to the day when Nazis do u-turn… meh.


Considering that Easter Front was responsible for 80% of German deaths in WWII looks like marketing is what you're selling.


Considering that Nazis couldn’t run a successful early campaign without resources from USSR…

And it’s not much being a savior if you just install new management and keep the shitty practices


You better support it with some good source.


There were certainly resisters and collaborators with both the Soviets and the Germans.


To be fair were was little anti-Nazi resistance. The general notion was that Soviets will be back in no time. So better not waste resources on fighting Nazis.


In Lithuania, over-16s without immunity certificates proving full vaccination or recovery from Covid are banned from shopping malls, beauty salons, cafés and restaurants and indoor public events, but are permitted to shop at food, veterinary, optical stores and pharmacies, as long as these are under 1,500 square metres and have direct street access. They can also visit art and museum exhibitions and libraries.

I'm not so sure about its history, but it sure doesn't have a present of standing up for the rights of its citizens. I wouldn't call it a beacon of freedom or prosperity over China. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/news/the-rise-of-the-unvaxx...


I doubt Facebook won't offer some unsupervised face clustering for albums, they will just remove tagging from images. Google Photos offers me pictures of distinctive people found in my gallery without giving me their names.
