nice, well i am using quad9; archive.org had 503's too (edit: lol i wonder if it did complete for me but somehow something else caused a loop - i never went to the search prompt afterward)

i clicked the url and saw that first very weird looking captcha - then immediately closed the tab

looks like the archivers have trouble with it too; reminds me of the behavior of a virus with all the redirects lol

edit: for those with custom filterlists via ubo:

- ||iop.org

xkcd standards; why use the standard search feature when you can build a new search feature per page per website ! new shiny, ooo weeee ooo

personally, i blame javascript

i prefer them laid flat out too - grinds my gears when there is a wall of text, then trying to use the browsers built-in-search to find a text i remember but cannot find due to some hover/click-element that only displays text sometimes. though - i do not mind a list of sources at the bottom nor embedded within a bracket or w/e - there are many standards

(i guess what is worse are pages which re-invent the wheel and re-implement text-searching, like [gitlab i think], where the browser search is broken as its only displaying a sub-section of text at any given moment and browser search fails unless you scroll a page down and find again)

we need a yt deshitter for (maybe one exists?): when mousing over the seek-bar, the time displayed goes from the time where im hovering over, to a huge-chunk of the bar displaying 'most replayed' in several areas (not just one, which "most" implies)

> I feel like we're constantly at 120%

sounds like a great way to burn out. if you do not take care of yourself properly, how are you expected to take care of anything else?

edit: oops late reply, but oh well

and 3: its also windows 11 on the handheld - its not comparing a desktop (edit- or many desktops for that matter) with steamos on it vs some windows. (though i can see somebody debloating 11 and dropping it on the device - why not?)

> We then installed Windows 11 on the handheld, downloaded updated drivers from Lenovo's support site, and re-ran the benchmarks on the same games downloaded through Steam for Windows.

yup, agreed- worth going over the non tl;dr (sufficient to say the tl;dr misses some good juice, but thats what the page in full is for).

i was sorta curious on the policy changes over time, since botghost has been around since '18. all i can say is good luck to botgost

histories of policies-ish:

- from the tl;dr (they also explain #4 as well in the non-tl;dr):

> Discord issued a breach notice to BotGhost, claiming the platform violates Developer Policy 4 by handling bot tokens, which has been a core part of how BotGhost has worked since 2018.

- policy from discrap: https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/8563934450...

> 4. Do not collect, solicit, or deceive users into providing passwords or other credentials. Under no circumstances may you or your Application request or attempt to obtain login credentials from Discord users. This includes information such as passwords or account access or login tokens.

- policy in 2022 (of that page, but note the random digits in the numbers make it terrible to easily see history), thanks archive.org!: https://web.archive.org/web/20221001073449/https://support-d...

> Do not collect, solicit, or deceive users into providing user login credentials. Under no circumstances may you or your Application solicit, obtain, or request login credentials from Discord users in any way. This includes information such as passwords or user access or login tokens.

- and archive.org of github of the before 2022 change (mentioned in the above archive) (does not really mention collecting of user auths - as per my quick glance [i welcome a double check]): https://web.archive.org/web/20220921062136/https://github.co...

edit: fix copy-pasta

> and never hear back from

i would not be surprised if that was the case for a lot of them

can only hope that if the buy happens, that they keep that 'free version' (aka not logged in mode) 1:1 as it is today, and competitive (or better) than others. otherwise i fear the big #RIP and soon we'll be using company level accounts to these LLMs.

i do fear a crappier outcome if they sell out

i have had this issue and realized i was basically getting a low key elec shock every time i had the power plugged into my mac; turned out it was the apple wall wart power brick; using a different one ended the constant elec pulse shocking effect. (at first i thought it was the shitty fraying usb-c cables apple provides which turn yellow and the plastic breaks apart after 6months to a year - nope! that thing is fine).
