I remember this system. I had to apply to do it after my account was old enough, then they’d give me a little bit to rate at first. Then IIRC they gave me more to rate after it was clear I wasn’t abusing it.

They had a guideline page I had to read before I started to rate comments and I don’t think those attributes were optional. So, comments got a primary attribute associated with their rating.

I wasn’t able to rate comments that I saw as I browsed but rather it was a collective rating system where volunteers were served comments (with expandable context) to curb the tendency to downvote just because you disagree with something.

At the height of Slashdot the discussions on there were incredibly educational and thoughtful and that rating system worked very well.

I think they’re saying the opposite: millennials as “boomers” so-to-speak.

Every time I went to sign up for their site they required that I list my Twitter account. But, I’ve never had consistent interconnected social media profiles.

That’s an old site though. So, you can find more information with another search.

There’s a bot that goes through and identifies link rot so editors have a backlog queue of them to go through.

Does the service have non-superhero and non-animated-family-movies content? The name "Disney" puts me off, because I an not into superheroes and I don't have a family so I don't really watch animated family musicals.

Oh my god I remember this too. It looks like there's a revival project. https://www.cybertownrevival.com/

Yeah they (Facebook) chose the word as a form of marketing to rebrand something that already existed. It's similar to how we went from "machine learning" to "AI".

It never died, because it already existed for fucking years: Active Worlds from 1995 is where I started, Second Life later, now the dominant "metaverse" is VR Chat.

The corporate simpletons just never did their homework to see what the market is like for this.

Is there a way to pipe the download directly to a video player so it's more like a stream so that the data is just cached and deleted afterwards?

Just do a bit at a time. I even installed a desktop email manager to help me with it, since it's easier to switch between the two accounts in a single application versus having the two webpages up.

Also, if you use a password manager you'll be able to filter your database by email since email address = account login credential in most cases.

Out of fear of losing access to my accounts I've been moving them out of Gmail as the central point of control. I suggest other people do this too.
