It depends on what sort of games you play. Some games / genres / publishers are much worse about this than others.
Article author seems to have completely fabricated the "10 more". There are no quotes from anyone even hinting at more whistleblowers existing, let alone ten more.
You'd see posts in a community/group/etc based on your trust of the community, unless you've explicitly de-trusted the poster or you trust someone who de-trusts them (and you haven't broken that chain).
As a long time Pandora user... I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.
2-3 minutes on what kind of internet connection? How long at 10Mbps?
For the simplest users, my initial idea is just a binary "do you trust them?" for each person (aka "friends") and non-person (aka "follow"), and maybe one global binary of "do you trust who they trust?" that defaults to yes. anything more complex than that can be optional.
I am sad that the current generation of federated social media/networks still doesn't have much, if any, implementation of web of trust functionality. I believe that's the only solution to bots/AI/etc content in the future. Show me content from people/accounts/profiles I trust, and accounts they trust, etc. When I see spam or scams or other misbehavior, show me the trust chain connecting me to it so I can sever it at the appropriate level instead of having to block individual accounts. (e.g. "sorry mom, you've trusted too many political frauds, I'm going to stop trusting people you trust")
just keep the system up to date…
The idea that downloading gigabytes of packages every week is a normal and required aspect of using a computer is part of why I left Windows...
Who runs their email servers? You can outsource fediverse server hosting too...
Yes. It's been disappearing since before I was born in the 80s, and is mostly gone now.
Mastodon has timed muting, but only permanent blocking.
Some day most people are going to understand that "I want to post something visible to everyone in the world EXCEPT these specific people" is not a viable or reasonable or even possible approach to communication, and any attempts to make it work are doomed to failure.
It's extremely unlikely ... YOU, sure. But it's absolutely certain that legit people will be blocked from contacting from those numbers to hundreds or thousands of other people.
Android prompts me to "Block and Report Spam" for spam phone calls, in both the Phone app for regular phone calls and the Voice app for calls through Google Voice.
There is no way to report spam in either app without blocking the number.
Spammers and scammers change their phone numbers frequently. Daily or more, in the case of sophisticated large operations. Those numbers get reassigned to innocent users, who will forever be blocked from calling me.
"Dumb" phone number blocks should only last for maybe a month or a year, not forever. And we should have "smart" blocks, that sync to phone number registration databases and expire when the number changes hands.
This is going to become an increasingly impactful problem if we keep using phone numbers as identifiers while most phone number users don't keep the same number for decades.
Take everything you feel about this, and apply it to everyone you know who looks down on their peers who don't drink.
I switched to Arch[-based distros] when I realized I had been getting 90% of my support from the Arch wiki for years
On a film set I would expect anyone in ear protection like that to use the kind with either external sound amplification (mic on the outside, speaker on the inside, so they are headphones) and/or with wireless audio transmission (bluetooth/etc, speaker on the inside, so still headphones)
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/PROHEAR-Electronic-Protection-Bluetooth-Amplification/dp/B07YSM7N97
Since... about a decade ago? Noise cancellation/reduction has been an available feature in earmuffs marketed to firearms users for a while now.
Would you spend an hour fixing a problem that will only save you ten minutes total in the rest of your lifetime using the software?
People often ask why I contribute to open source projects or otherwise work on building automated tooling. They see me spending hours to automate a task or fix a bug that take seconds to do or avoid manually, in a way that the original XKCD comic says won't pay off. The disconnect seems to be that the comic and those people only consider time it saves me, not time it saves the tens to thousands to millions of other people who will use the script or patch or whatever when I publish it. So, here's a version of xkcd.com/1205 updated for making decisions that benefit a thousand people instead of just one.

I need to find this line of code based on the keywords "tnt_select" and "2^32", without specifying the repository because I'm looking for instances of the same bug in other projects. This repo is public, the file isn't obfuscated, the code is in the head of the default branch. I've tried Google, Github Code Search, Sourcegraph, and BigQuery on the Github data set. I've found a few ways to locate the .rst and .po documentation files that the bug was copied from, but none that find even this single example of it in actual source code files.

I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?
