Yes, and any game that is frequently streamed or otherwise recorded is wise to. Exclusive full screen doesn’t play well with others.

Time to upgrade to AL2023, for all of us who procrastinate

Yeah but the product is not “LLM” it’s “proprietary frontier model LLM paid by the token”.

And I don’t even necessarily disagree with OP! It’s more like the competition is shifting so quickly that your competitors could undercut your PMF in a blink of an eye.

Includes announcement of a bug fix for the longstanding bug that carded the session to sometimes briefly appear on screen before the lock screen password entry appears. Hooray!

Read to the end. Ways to financially support this important work can be found there.

Thank you for this clear explanation.

I hadn't thought of this use case for aliases.

I had to make my Outlook email primary again on my Microsoft account, unfortunately, because of how I use OneDrive. I send people share invitations and there are scenarios (or at least there were the last time I checked) where sending invitations from the primary account email is the only way to deliver the invite. If your external email alias is primary, they'll attempt to send an email from Outlook's servers that spoofs the alias email :/

I tend to think that this challenge posed by "mixed" domains, partly unobjectionable but partly inappropriate, will only become more prevalent. A couple of thoughts:

1. Filtering at the DNS level will never be enough. You'll always need to have the capability for the browser or user agent to do filtering, since the user agent has the context to know the full URI as well as other things needed for filtering. The OS admin (parent, school IT admin etc) will need to be able to block all user agents except the ones that have the reporting and filtering capabilities tuned to the admin's requirements. This is the direction Windows is heading, but it is very rough.

2. I wonder if more domains could do what Google, Bing, Youtube etc do and permit a safe version to be requested at the DNS level. I personally would like to be able to do so with Reddit, Twitter and more.
