- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 1 week ago:
No of course not, then they’d actually face consequences for it.
(Yes, I know there are people who do this to those who aren’t rich and still face consequences but I get the feeling that’s more of “the exception rather than the rule”)
- Comment on The vast majority of "Remind Me"s notifications in Reddit will never be seen by users who set them. 1 week ago:
The last time I was on, I still saw it running (even after the API bs).
I’m willing to bet that Reddit granted them an exception because it’s a widely used utility and isn’t a client that obscures what they really want you to see (ads).
- Comment on Microsoft accidentally removed Copilot in the latest Windows 11 update. 3 weeks ago:
Not to my knowledge, no*. Though it’s been a while since I looked into it.
* Outside of running them inside a Windows VM on Linux, but that has its own issues. Especially if you use any of the CC apps that need GPU acceleration. It can definitely be done, but I’d argue most people are not going to want to go through the effort and rather just use Windows directly.
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 4 weeks ago:
They had another redesign this year too as well, to try to make it more “discord-y” that’s currently in beta I believe.
Though I do think they’re a little too late…
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 1 month ago:
Can confirm, I can use Boost for Reddit on my main account which is a moderator for a sub, but my second account which has no moderation abilities “breaks” the app until I switch back.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 5 months ago:
(inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).
How about Thunderbolt? This looks like macOS, and while I’m not 100% sure if they utilize HDMI ports anymore, they certainly use Thunderbolt.
- Comment on The worst feeling of my life:My vacation is ending tomorrow 5 months ago:
I know the feeling, I just had a week off and returned to work on Friday a couple of days ago.
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 6 months ago:
Jeez, no wonder Infinite has always had such a bad reputation then!
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 6 months ago:
As far as I recall, Infinite has had online co-op, just not local/split screen co-op.
But don’t quote me on that!
