I can’t stop getting amazed by the amount of free time humans have.
Isn't that a good thing, though? We're not all being worked to death? (I mean people are in some places, I'm just talking about Lemmy here.)
Yeah, as someone who almost died from covid + pneumonia (and my doc thinks also comorbid RSV) from rampant exposure in various residential care facilities, someone who was over-worked, exploited in a toxic work environment, burned out, and then forced out of a job from long-covid...
People acting like having free time is a bad thing/that it's admirable having work/productivity consume every waking minute can shut the hell up... That's not healthy or a good thing. I don't get how they think it's bragging to boast about how much of their limited lifespan has been given away to their employer rather than spent on something they have chosen to do out of desire.
I am proud of the hard work I did and the people I helped as a caseworker for adults with severe mental illness. But if I could go back in time, I would not have been killing myself for all those years. It's given me a new perspective on life, and I intend not to waste the rest of it.

I can't speak for other nations, but the US has a puritanical hangover we just can't shake. Work - and only certain kinds of work - are directly tied to morality. The hour you wake up is tied to morality (we aren't farmers dammit let me sleep until 8 or 9am!)
It's very difficult to make meaningful change to things that are intertwined with morality. You have to exert an enormous amount of effort disentangling them before you even get to work. Because you simply can't convince people to do a thing they inherently think is immoral, at least not nationwide.
Maybe they are all on strike too.
Yes, but also no.
At the end of a r/Place event the palette changes, and you can only place white pixels.
So yes, you could use a bot to write it again; but no, in reality you wouldn’t be writing anything.
Can someone explain to me that is happening?
I am not following this year's place, but last year, in the end, they removed all colours but white and so everyone was placing white. I assume this is what's happening here. And it so happened to coincide with the appearance of the huge fuck spez message
Edit: Just opened Reddit and checked place, it's as I said. Only white colour left.
I don't know whether I'd call that intentional. ~~Mods~~ Admins still retain and already utilized the power to wipe whatever they wish. They left the other renditions before this more or less alone (to my knowledge), to be overwritten by users during the natural course of things.
If he were that concerned about what was being written, I doubt he would wait to be certain the very last image of the finished r/place was a giant fuck-you billboard. He'd either wipe every fuck or try to end it after this one is gone so he can pretend it ended on a good note.
They removed all colors but white from the selection, so the massive number of bots would try to update something, but only paint white instead, doing the wipe for them.
only white squares can be placed now.
@rImITywR Oh is that what happened? I thought it was a complete reset. Making it so only white tiles can be placed makes it even worse imo.
This is how /r/place always ends. Reddit takes a snapshot of the final canvas, then switches everyone over to placing only white tiles.
Wonder if they'll share the final snapshot.😆
I don't think investors care if the image says "fuck spez". I mean, whoever is dumb enough to "invest" in reddit probably doesn't know that spez is the same dude trying to sell them the idea of investing in reddit.
I’m willing to bet they’ll care. When your community is vocal enough about such an issue to crowd out others? Yeah, that’s not a good sign for their investment. And it’s all directed at a single person.
Oh it'll make all the news. Spez's attempt to distract (and drive traffic) is just going to attract more attention to the issue.
Haha, looking forward to the replay… 🍿
I'm sure they've been spending the last week thinking of a way to recap this without showing the full thing, such as just focusing on specific sections instead of showing a time-lapse of the the entire canvas. Similarly I'd be surprised if they released the pixel placement data set this time without major edits
Some people say the canvas is bigger this year. Idk if that's true (I honestly can't remember what happened in 2022), but if it is that's probably their plan - make the canvas big enough so the details don't show up (or aren't obvious) when showing the entire thing.
If that's not true, well, please don't shoot me.
Can we DDOS Reddit now?
You know it’s technically a crime, right?
OJ can beat murder charges, I can beat some cyber crime charges. If the IP address doesn't fit, you must acquit.
Only if it's on purpose! I just love reddit sooooo much!
Giving it the hug of death, eh?
ooh a minor cybercrime ooh so scary...
If you get caught.
Kierkegaardian suspension of the ethical.
See those bots next year!
It came and went almost as fast as me
It's sad but that is tradition as far as I know.
Shocking
