Delayed Auto Shift. In NES tetris the rate is 10 moves per second, so to beat it in speed you have to press on the dpad at more than 10Hz.

You have always been able to hide the like/dislike count on your published videos.

Let's not be stupid about this. The only people benefitting from this change are the shady ones.

Kinda saddened by the fact that tpfancontrol is still a must have in 2021. I believe it became mandatory for me when I upgraded my old W520 from win7 to 10, as the newer OS didn't properly manage fan speeds (the minimum speed was way too high, the maximum speed was never triggered).

I haven't used windows on that laptop in years (and it doesn't get much use anymore, although it still works flawlessly!), reckoned they'd have fixed this by now.

I've always interpreted "triage" as the first response whenever something comes up (paralleling the medical term were it's from), is that not how it is?

Triage is what happens when you first look at a new ticket and decide what to do with it, any encounter/interaction after that is not a triage.

If maintainers feel like they need to close tickets only to keep order, than that's a problem with the tooling: tickets should only be closed if they're malformed, solved, or (arguably) wontfix.

Yes, it was engineered to be this way intentionally, through unregulated competition rules and systematic killing of any open alternative by way of massive pumping of capital.

We live in a disgusting scenario, we're held hostage by a racket.

I imagine the logic here would be developing a passive income to compensate for the free labor you put in in the first place, and cover whatever future free labor you might want to do.

I was hoping to see less obvious examples, and especially standard libraries

Seen this comment a lot in the thread, I'd like to know which libraries do. Google didn't help (as usual nowadays).

The plan in motion is, in the name of "making reattaching a button simpler", prevent anyone able to reattach a button on their own from doing it, so the shirt manufacturer makes more bank.

Me being able to freely manipulate my own data according to my capacity has NOTHING to do with providing uninterested/incapable people with tools that hide complexity.
