Just discovered this thread, but yes. It’s been this way for quite a while (weeks at least) and I’ve seen other people mention it from time to time.

oh that’s a great feature

Pruning is a bad idea imo. Old communities here (like on reddit) can be great resources for solutions to technical problems, for example. And weird one-off communities that have like 2 memes from a decade ago can be really funny when you get linked to them.
Perhaps a notification-type nag, a tab of “communities you used to use but haven’t posted to for a while” but with a snappier title, alongside “local” and “all”.

I’ve seen people mention it elsewhere in this thread. But what is MBA? I get nothing relevant when I search for it.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
I didn’t know Microsoft 365 and Office 365 were different things. From the outside, it’s as opaque as Apple’s version names.

Free private repos were always available on Bitbucket (for example) before that though. The things added by Microsoft were all catch-up.

- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 1 week ago:
UKian here to lecture you on how nuts you are: I’m sure there are cases like yours, where you will retreat from a situation because you have a deadly weapon hidden on you. I’ve known people who carried weapons and who would generally try to avoid danger. But I’m 100% positive that’s not the norm, and most people who feel the need to have a gun would react less predictably. I’ve not lived in the US, but the impression I get from media is that there are a lot of gun owners who haven’t trained with them or who are “muh freedoms” idiots.

Yeah, Plex wins there - lifetime subs for Jellyfin never seem to be on sale.
- Comment on Framework stops selling separate DDR5 RAM modules to fight scalpers 1 month ago:
So they keep enough for the pre-builds, and if there’s no stock over, mark them as “sold out” on the shop. That’s how everyone else does it.

29 months is “as much as possible”? My phone is from 2016 and it works fine!
- Comment on Bossware rises as employers keep closer tabs on remote staff 1 month ago:
Time to create a new anti-bossware product, and call it Worker. Maybe it could be peer-to-peer to help propagate newly identified Bossware signatures. Some kind of worker’s collective as it were.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: A Beautiful Night City but oh what it could have been. 1 month ago:
The MC backstory is just the same as picking a class from any other RPG, you just get to play out a different-looking tutorial level. I had hopes there would be different missions instead of different passing comments, but nope.
The combat is pretty shitty. It’s like Metro, where half the time it’s just spray and pray with whatever gun still has ammo. There are chances to use things tactically, but they’re outweighed by the way you can just shoot and heal continuously so there doesn’t feel like there’s any point. Stealth is weird. It just doesn’t seem as good as, oh, maybe the original Deus Ex.

The evolutionarily stable state is a small percentage more ads than people will tolerate. That’s just maths.

Getting called out by my name in the literature club, or being told about how I could have used my superpower better in that other game. Two get-up-and-take-a-walk moments for me.

I thought the changes were to do with manifest v3, and that was part of chromium. I didn’t realise that was added to chrome after the fact.
