The simple fact that untreated rabies is almost 100% fatal means that the vaccine is worth it. Not many diseases are almost 100% fatal, and at least this one's preventable if caught.

I mean, his name's Cillian.

You're thinking of the gyroscope, but no. Some phones have a dedicated proximity sensor for things like detecting if you're in a call and have the phone up to your ear, but more and more phones (especially the budget ones) these days use a "virtual" proximity sensor which utilizes the front camera to perform the same function.

Loved the movie, but found that the ending was the weakest part. I don't mind the resolution we got, it's just how we got that resolution that has some parts missing. How did the people suddenly go from fearing her to calling her a hero? Sure, she saved the city from getting blown up, but one act alone doesn't easily undo a thousand years of prejudice. After all, it doesn't seem like anyone knows the truth about what happened between Nimona and Gloreth. How did they clear Nimona's name of the Director's accusation? Who runs the kingdom now? Why didn't that dudebro knight get his face punched in? The ending was fine, but they glossed over a lot of parts that would have made the ending make more sense.

Edit: Well, looks like the Lemmy spoiler code doesn't work on Kbin.

I'm pretty sure 1990 was ten years ago.

By default, everyone's a guy on the internet unless stated otherwise. Some people just know the name and that they're a powermod and not much else. Also, they're apparently trans or claims to be, so there's a subset of people who'd misgender them on purpose.

Of course they're claiming responsibility for the John Oliver thing. Considering their history, I doubt it. But even if they were involved, it's the community at large that was responsible for the John Oliverification of Reddit.

It temporarily boosts activity, but that's useless activity. It's not going to help Reddit in the long run, and in fact will diminish Reddit's value if it goes on long enough.

Ah. So basically China's Social Credit system, but for Reddit.

So basically, according to Reddit, they own everything on Reddit. That means all the the CP, hate speech — and in this case, piracy — that are posted on Reddit are Reddit's responsibility. Bold strategy, cotton. They're basically waiving their net neutrality.
