Make a new account on Reddit, and you soon learn that votes (and therefore karma points) do matter. Even the karma in one subreddit can be relevant, so older accounts joining subreddits need to be careful not to annoy the local establishment.

They matter in the original intention of votes: visibility.

Votes get used to sort content.

Update

I described to an AI that the problem couldn’t be with my email address or phone number because I received the verification codes.

The AI agreed.

That’s why I ditched this email address and created a new one. Everything worked on the first try today. But I can’t tell you if changing the email address was the solution or waiting another day. Apple’s error messages are just not helpful.

He probably thinks his AI is a god because it knows how many Bs are in blueberry.

Yup, and Linux probably boots faster.

Someone once wrote something that compiled the Linux kernel on bootup with TinyC. Even this would be faster.

They announced that they are investigating Democrats regarding Epstein.

An investigation can prevent the release of the Epstein files, regardless of whether the president signed the bill or not.

I suspect the majority (not all!) of potential Mac Pro users want it for the form factor. Not because of specific requirements in performance or hardware, but because it looks professional.

A Mac Mini or Mac Studio could handle everything they can throw at it, but for some people, they look like toys. (Cue to the “THIS is a computer!” scene of “Iron Sky.”)

In Germany we realized that chancellor is a job for a woman. Angela Merkel wasn’t perfect and made many mistakes, but the following two guys were even worse.

$1000 is still less expensive than my next PC I would need to buy after Windows 10 ends.

If it can run the Epic Games Launcher, too, I would use the Steam Machine for gaming, some cheap laptop with Windows 11 for my tax software and everything else that forces you to use Windows, and a Mac for work.

Well, my kind of humor.
