Or kinda like what Valve does, where they wait, collect internal lists, do research, then do big ban waves.
Or like what they do to scam call centers where they let them continue being shitty for a while, while simultaneously conducting deep investigations, after which they arrest the fuck out of everybody involved.

Please… It’s time to let them go. Square has been on life support for the past 25 years. Just… You have to let them go. I’m sorry. I loved them, too.

- Comment on How can we stop bots on the fediverse? 3 days ago:
I think the only way is to be less popular and to keep moving. People that run bots are like bullies, and are either crazed zealots that eventually will run out of motivation, or already have limited motivation and you have to make it harder for them until they stop caring. In which case, they basically just become an actual user.
Now the trick is how to string along your users in the same way that doesn’t turn them away.
Offer something juicy to people who care, but foul to those who don’t.
Or just have better human moderation, like what Ada said. Treat your instance like a community and a team, watch over them and get rid of the bots, and then block instances that do a bad job at that. Isn’t that basically the fediverse way, already? Because there will always be spam and bad actors and dissent. Only through the strengths of humanity can we beat the bots.
Combine these two arms, and they would be pretty solid. I leave the more rock hard, third arm solution to somebody much smarter than me, but welcome it gratefully and happily if and when it comes.

He’s either secretly estatic or a very, very sad little manchild.
Going off how childhood fame messes up people pretty much always, I’m gonna go with the second one.
But yeah, good job getting there in the shower 👍 it’s not everyday that people do that on their own. You should be proud of yourself.

I was an annoying kid. Found out a few years ago that I was a brat growing up.
At 17, I can safely say I was annoying. I probably still am.
Now, I’m just lonely.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 5 days ago:
I see those moments all the time. It’s like seeing the different dimensional differences where I died in them.
Slipped in the shower, but you’re okay? Yup.
Oncoming traffic feel just a little bit too close? Uh huh.
Basically, anytime you have to be careful or you worry at all, there’s a different timeline that’s just a little too close for comfort. And that’s the stuff that we’re AWARE of.

- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 weeks ago:
Firefox and piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en That’s the creators page, but it’s also on the Mozilla site.
I use a bunch of other stuff too, that synergizes and whatnot, but that’s the tree style tabs that I’ve been using since like 2011. I’ve also been telling people that this is the future the entire time, and nobody ever believes me. But that’s fine, it’s going to be an inevitable option. But maybe at this rate, the internet will die before people adopt tree tabs hahaha.
If you do use that extension, I suggest going through the options, as it’s pretty well fleshed out. An option that makes a big difference to me is the the theme or whatever, to clearly see the boxes around each tab, and therefore the indentation. Another meaningful option is the tree behavior that auto-collapses the tree is you open a new one - I don’t like that, and prefer the trees stay option and me in control. But to each their own. After all, this is all just tools for you to optimize and explore.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 weeks ago:
I regularly sit at anywhere from a thousand to several thousand tabs on my desktop browser. I have a tab-counter extension.
I use tree-style tabs. I use this to organize thoughts into groups, or families, hierarchically, with varying levels and numbers of tabs, depending on topic and my interest.
Most tabs are unloaded. I do close and reopen my browser regularly, and restart my pc. I just have the browser remember the tabs in it.
I do occasionally revisit and complete families of tabs. Sometimes I’ll queue up loads of things to read on a subject, so that nothing ever has to load or reload.
Tabs are like a working space to me, kind of like working memory in your brain.
Sometimes I’ll load in several searches at once.
I have ADHD.
I am also a very passionate and try to be a very thorough person.
I generally do things top-down when researching, but also casually search.
I have waves of purging, myself, but also will randomly close tabs or trees if they are complete or exhausted.
Like once a year or so, the browser has a stroke and decides to flush everything away and I’m sad for a couple weeks.

Which is interesting, because at least for me, the main reason I try to save often like that is because of games like bethesda games or other games that don’t autosave and will crash, losing you HUGE amounts of progress.

Ah yeah, then absolutely. Warning you that you may be fucking up and then having you quit on faith is an insane move by a dev.

I’m very curious. Can you elaborate on how that would work?
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 weeks ago:
Yeah any setting that tries to make things photoreal needs to be able to be turned off. Fringing, vignette, motion blur. What’s next? Strobing? Jfc. Like yeah those can all look really good if tumed properly. But tuning for everybody’s monitor and everybody’s room ambient light or sunlight is really tough. Let people at least turn them off, and if you’ve got time, you can add in some changeable values.

I’ve seen games with either a totally separate “accessibility” section or tab, or the settings in related tabs and those settings also all in the accessibility menu.
I really really like this modern gaming thing where accessibility settings are now standard.

That was the worst. One time I had a remote desktop host software running, nothing was even connected, but it was detected first or something stupid, and I couldn’t input the game at all. What an absolute nightmare to troubleshoot. I ended up just never actually playing that game with those friends because I couldn’t, and everybody ended up not playing more of it or any of the sequels as a result.
