As I've mentioned 100 times before, the powerusers of StackOverflow are completely detached from the core goals of the site and instead prefer to bicker amongst themselves in the Meta forum.
A poweruser named "M--" (profile: "Engineer by day, G*mer by night. Always in the process of learning something new.") says:
I raised an NAA [Not An Answer] flag on this answer Answer to: Blank space appearing at bottom of all webpages in Google Chrome on iOS [closed] which got declined.
Powerusers don't like having their flags declined because it goes on their permanent record, and god forbid one poweruser disagree with another.
The original question has now been blatted from existence, because just like /r/subredditdrama then whenever a post is linked into Meta then it's guaranteed to be brigaded into an unusable mess, even in cases like this where the question is perfectly valid and the complaint is about one single answer.
Now what is the answer that so annoyed this poweruser?:
THANK YOU! Disabling smooth scrolling took care of this problem on my iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 17.2.1.
Note that this answer includes the exact steps taken to solve the issue and the version on which it works. M-- just dislikes it because it starts with "THANK YOU!".
The rest of this Meta page totals over 5000 words of comments and arguments.
Some people just seem to love getting into involved debates of how should a particular turd be classified and how to correctly dispose of it, instead of, you know, just getting rid of it. Meanwhile dozens more are deposited around them... Someone spends ten seconds mashing the keyboard, and then bunch of other people take few man-hours figuring out what to do with it
comments one user with no self-awareness whatsoever.
Another user writes an essay explaining the workflow for handling answers and discussing the intricacies of:
You are the latest victim of a problem Stack Overflow has had for years; there are conflicting rules about how NAA and VLQ flags are supposed to work.
I'll let anyone else who wants to read through all of the answers and comments for pure

You gotta understand though, they've only got 160 million per year to spend, you have to prioritize.

It stopped working many months ago, when Reddit started redirecting image links to their www.reddit.com/media links. The image viewer thing is kind of helpful in that it tells you which post the image came from, but this is overshadowed by the fact that it prevents you from viewing the image directly. Thus, the Wayback Machine cannot archive the image.
I sent a wordswordswords email to the Internet Archive about it, and they unfortunately said they couldn't change it.
Hi,
No... I am very sorry but Reddit is much harder to archive now than it was in the past.
We are doing the best we can.
- Mark Graham, Director, the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive
ArchiveTeam also had difficulty archiving Reddit due to bans and paused their project. (Does anyone here know if there are logs of their IRC channel #shreddit?) At least PullPush works (for now), but it doesn't archive images. Luckily, archive.today and ghostarchive.org are still able to save Reddit images.
If you are annoyed by Reddit not letting you view images directly, here are some extensions I have not tried at all. They work by modifying the Accept header sent by your browser.

“Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement [mass surveillance]” seems like a more complete statement. But can you imagine the Orwellian dystopia we’d live in if the statement was true?

According to FBI records, all seven tips were submitted from four specific, identified IP addresses. Subscriber information for these IP addresses demonstrated that all four were assigned to a particular provider (hereinafter, “Company A”). Company A provides a service that allows its users to access the Internet via an isolated web browser to help protect users from security threats and for other purposes. In general, when a user of Company A's services accesses a website through Company A's product, the website will record an IP address associated with Company A, and not the end user.

tl;dr: some leftoid bullied Truth Social into releasing their source code as per the AGPL which requires derivative source to be published, naturally he's very proud of himself
He also implies the code is shit and people should look for vulnerabilities (to report them responsibly, I'm sure)
Flagged comments:
(make an account and enable "show dead")
Could have done without all the left-wing whining.
The dispersal from left-leaning social media sites wasn't about needing a place to tell lies, moderation on them was ideologically driven and biased, much like the author of this piece.
Nobody likes to be censored, the left has just been doing the censoring for so long they've forgotten how it feels.
This comment and any others critiquing the author or supporting Truth Social will be flagged, effectively deleting them for anyone who doesn't toggle the flag on in settings. What a great site this is. Actually worse than reddit in this regard.

The tone of this article reads like the author expected this company to be evil incarnate, because they're Republican, and then they just...aren't.
Seems like there is some cognitive distortion going on where people are being vilified, and then that ends up not matching reality.

So apparently if someone knows / guesses the name of your S3 bucket - even if it's private (!) - they can just bankrupt you by sending infinite PUT requests and there is nothing you can do about it.
