I’ve been enjoying all the new discussions, comparisons, and content surrounding open source game engines.

Even if it’s clickbait or shallow content, it still raises the awareness of these tools.

Does Godot make enough money to be picky about sponsors?

It made me realise that these huge and reputable Android ROM developers will still treat your phone like a toy, and are therefore completely untrustworthy.

The two things that stopped me from using custom Android ROMs:

1. Discovered that emergency calls would crash the phone (during an emergency)

2. The LineageOS April Fools prank.

Perhaps it wants to rage-bait you into watching and commenting on the video.

After you’ve seen the two 15s ads, of course!

Is Cloudflare known for constantly starting up and shutting down products left, right, and centre though?

I’ve had watch history disabled for years, and the suggested videos were always perfectly fine.

Now I have zero ability to discover new channels, and already my engagement is much lower since I’m limited to what I’m subscribed to, or whatever random search query I make.

My YouTube experience is significantly degraded now.

Fortunately, they appear to have created more interfaces for mass deleting old comments and likes / dislikes, so I’ve been utilising that too.

I look forward to seeing what else they punish me for, for using the settings and tools they provide.

> “you need to provide a telephone number, which is linked to your real-world identity”

What country do you live in? I can go to my local supermarket and buy dozens of pre-paid SIM cards with pocket change.

If you’re somehow associating your literal identity to a phone number, it sounds like you must be in a pretty heavy surveillance state.

Additionally, if you’re worried about being tracked, I hope you don’t carry a phone whatsoever.

I used to catch the bus instead of flights, but it’s just not worth the few dollars saved.

People stink. People eat hot stinky food. Oh, and there’s only one toilet here and we’re only stopping for a few minutes. Oh and this stop doesn’t have food options suitable for my dietary needs.

A 12 hour bus trip vs a 1 hour flight?

I’ll always take the flight now.

I agree, and find it quite overstimulating too. I’m not even sure what it’s trying to show me.

Surely that’s just the nature of IPFS, right?

No it's definitely going to be proper open-source: https://community.anytype.io/t/sprint-review-58-59-60/9754?u...

The results are often very uninteresting or thought provoking.

> The funny thing is the site which should have been removed like the of Stackoverflow spam clones

Absolutely. I have a browser extension installed specifically to block domains that are this type of spam from my Google search results, and I’m adding to it almost weekly.

Come on Google, you’re seriously ranking that as front page worthy?

But why get the Steam Deck 2 when you could wait a little longer and get the Steam Deck 2 Episode 1?

So they’re putting it on sale now but still won’t sell it in many countries?

E.g Australia and New Zealand are still having to buy them from unauthorized resellers.
