Try looking up Ben Cloward on YouTube. He's quite concise and thorough.

The "don't show this channel" feature also feels like there is some kind of expiry because I've blocked a few channels multiple times now via that method.

Totally a theory but sometimes YouTube has a button that says roughly "show me something new". I think that may be the source of those channels returning.

Not a game but the impressive VFX software embergen is written in Odin iirc.

That would be my God. In parts of the gaming industry working there can make you a pariah though. Not a huge portion but I've seen people get rejected based on working there and a couple other choice companies.

Thank you for sharing this. This is really interesting.

Kind of and I've certainly used systems like that before but in practice it's not really a massive improvement. Sometimes it's even a tad annoying having another layer of indirection.

Just an update. Discord now shows a modal dialog trying to get me to sign up for nitro about every other time I bring up the app.

I'm pretty ashamed of my country

Queued it at my local library and already there is a huge queue. Hopefully will be able to read it this year

Years ago I didn't have to manually kill the app 2-3 times a day to get messages synced (frequently on Android, occasionally on Windows)

It's been going that way for at least 2 years now. Maybe it will accelerate though.

I grew up being taught to urinate on our rhubarb patches.

Oh I see. I did indeed misunderstand.

Thanks for taking the time to explain!
