Sony no longer supporting physical media is partially our fault.

While I am disappointed that Sony will stop making physical games, and the PS6 probably won't have a Disc drive, this is partially our fault. As consumers, we watched physical media being increasingly phased out, and didn't protest it. Disc drives were removed from computers, and we were silent. CD players were removed from Cars, and we were silent. Now that it's happening to Consoles, we now notice that it's a problem? We should have been protesting this a decade ago so it wouldn't come to this point.

I created a subreddit for sharing and suggesting improvements to Wikipedia Draft articles.

r/WikipediaDrafts is a new subreddit that's like r/Wikipedia, but for Draft articles. Here, people can share drafts and also suggest improvements so they will be more likely to be accepted as mainspace articles.

Subreddit for sharing and suggesting improvements to Wikipedia draft articles

I created r/WikipediaDrafts as a subreddit that's like r/Wikipedia, but for Draft pages. Here people can share them and suggests improvements to them so they're more likely to get approved as articles.

Do informal fallacy labels beg the question (sometimes)?

I've noticed that many Informal fallacy descriptions assume various philosophical positions and frameworks, and also assume that alternate frameworks are incorrect. Like "Appeal to consequences" assumes that the the pragmatic theory of truth is incorrect, "Relativist fallacy" Assumes that relativism is false without proving it false from within that system. "Retrospective determinism" assumes that Hard determinism/fatalism is false without proving it,"Etymological fallacy" assumes that descriptivism is correct and prescriptivism is incorrect, etc. There are many other examples, but these are just a few. Rather than arguing for why those positions are incorrect, they're just labeled as "Fallacies" and the explanation for why it's a fallacy is simply because the framework is incorrect. No argument is given for why the framework is incorrect. This seems like Question-begging. (Note, this only applies to Informal fallacies. Formal fallacies are purely structural errors.)

Why don't Watzatsong posts become major Lostwave cases anymore?

There are so many samples posted every day on Watzatsong, and some samples have hundreds of listens, but it seems like they don't become major lostwaves anymore (although they did in 2020-2023).

What if Reddit started displaying upvotes and downvotes as separate numbers?

Basically, since people treat them as "Like" and "Dislike" buttons, what would happen if Reddit actually made them function that way?

Why has YouTube become so restrictive for logged-out users recently?

Some videos that aren't even age restricted now require you to sign in, and even viewing search results containing certain terms requires you to sign in.

If you've been seeing this message, this is why. Apparently, YouTube has new rules requiring users to sign in before watching certain videos.

What happened to the r/Libertarian subreddit?

Simply mentioning certain terms associated with left-libertarianism gets your comment removed and an automod responds with these messages. The subreddit used to be welcoming to all types of Libertarians, but now, it's basically just "r/LibertarianRight".

Please add these Old Reddit features to the current UI.

Since Old Reddit might be shutting down (Considering that it's become only accessible after logging in), could you PLEASE add the following Old Reddit features to the current UI?: 1.publicly visible upvote percentages on posts. 2. the option to turn off the feature that automatically hides downvoted comments, (the threshold is automatically -4 on the current UI with no option to change it). 3.the option for a symbol to denote controversial comments (Comments that have a lot of upvotes and downvotes). These features are really important but are still missing on the New UI.

Why doesn't the "Date Posted" filter work anymore? It worked before, but stopped working ever since 2025.

Ever since last year, when I select a year on the "Date Posted" filter, I still get posts from other years.

[Tip] If you only want to see posts from your friends and pages you follow, just click "Feeds" every time you go on Facebook.

A lot of people don't know this, but if you want to avoid constantly seeing irrelevant posts, just click "Feeds" and you'll only see posts from your friends and followed pages. This really should be the default because it's frustrating having to do this every time you go on Facebook. (And I'm pretty sure it once WAS the default, as recently as early 2019.)
