We'd be living in a better world if politics was a skill and our politicians were good at it.

The announcement is a marketing stunt to direct people to their website.

People wouldn't want this if they were adequately educated.

We're already seeing it.

It sure is our business if companies are misappropriating science to sell harmful products or advertize harmful misuse of their products.

The problem is that modern sets are made up of much higher numbers of parts (especially small ones). Building them would take forever if you had to pause and think every other step, or had to play where's Wally with a dozen new small pieces all the time. Lego would first have to backtrack to simpler sets again before fixing their instruction manuals.

You can't even do it ironically anymore because the average user doesn't pick up on it and whatever insane joke you pull will become internet norm in the future

I made an account on twitter/x specifically to promote my site at some point. I was shadowbanned by default and had to follow other people, like and share their posts and comment on other's post just to get my own posts to show up on people's feeds. When I checked again at some later point I was shadowbanned again.

When I tried reddit I also noticed that I was shadowbanned by default and didn't even bother to do anything about because I assumed it would turn out the same way. Like I said you can use those sides to get the word out, but only if you're actively using them as a user to begin with.

That's almost a job in itself because you have to constantly make sure not to get shadowbanned. This is probably only an option for people who already use "social media" sites in the first place. Putting a link to your site in forum signatures was the way to go. Unfortunately, forums are 99% dead.

Don't worry. The time when our computers will be locked down the same way will come in our life time.

I built mal for videogames too over 10 years ago. A friend also did individually. And I know at least 5 other sites that are "mal, but videogames" or have similar features.

Imo the concept is a waste of time until there are APIs for each console/store to fetch user data and automate libraries. Most users don't bother and the few that do already have accounts spread on like 10 different sites for this kind of thing. Personally these days I just keep csv files of my collection and play history and turn them to HTML via a ssg.Turns out that I don't need anything more than this.

But good luck!

The new layout, putting attached images and videos on the index, ruined Reddit forever. I recently went there to see what thoughts people on there had on a specific subject, only to find nothing but a stream of meme and social media posts. You really can't call it a forum anymore.

I only have an X account and got no censorship for #fucktrump

Honestly, I barely understand how Firefox's cookie protection works anymore. It used to have the simple option to block third party cookies that I had running all day and felt good with. That was until they started becoming necessary in certain scenarios (I can't even remember the details of what that was).

And then these days I have no idea if I can just accept a website's advertising cookies and expect Firefox to block them anyways, or if clicking on such a button would disable the browser's tracking protection.

A few years back SO used to be the common top result for my search queries regarding tech and development. I'm not sure when the shift started, but these days it's always a list of content farm links with maybe a link to SO somewhere in between.

The result for me was that I started to rely much more on documentation and writing down notes of stuff I found myself looking up a lot. I never used SO directly for looking up stuff, always relied on search engines, and as they declined in quality I just stopped visiting SO almost alltogether.

I imagine I'm not the only one with this story. Considering users also abandoned the site for LLM assistans and the strict moderation on there, I'm not surprised it is in heavy decline.
