I was reading the blog post by the casino’s tech person and kept thinking to myself, “this is a casino; they may not be the most reliable narrator”. That said, CF was also stupid slow on taking down kiwi and stormfront, so they’re not great either.

Both of them suck and this whole thing is amusing to me. Hopefully this will serve to improve CF’s behaviour.

Ho hoo, that isn’t smoke, it’s steam, from the steamed rams we’re having! Mmm, steamed rams.

I could, good point. I do disable plugins for clients so they can’t beat up their own website too much.

Still, there are legitimate uses for opening a site in a new tab; e.g. when it’s an external website. I don’t think I should automate that, since there’s a granularity in there.

I maintain a couple of Wordpress installations for clients, where new link targets are the same page, as you’d expect.

They still, somehow, manually check “link opens in new tab”. I don’t know why some of these boomers are allowed to use computers, I swear.

YouTube still tracks you based on your IP and other environmental variables. Your browser’s user agent alone can tell them something about you. The resolution your screen uses, the speed in which the page loads and many other factors all correlate with certain profile properties.

They may not have your exact name and hometown, but they can definitely generate an indication of income and general area, amongst others.

the person saying “I hate it when editors do it” is really not understanding why this is a feature and not a bug.

No, I get that it’s not a bug. I just don’t like it, personally, and want to be able to turn it off. Don’t know where read that I thought it was a bug.

I mean, I don’t like it, and I’m kinda fine with it being the default if most of the people want it. I just think we should be able to turn it off.

🤮

This reminds me of text editor that leave half a screen of ‘wiggle room’ when scrolling down. Absolutely hate it, and if I can’t turn it off, I won’t use the text editor.

Hey guys did you know Snorlax is the most comp—

I feel like this is where 3rd party clients can really shine. Offer a good default algorithmic sort, and let users configure it themselves as much as they please – it’s their feed after all.

I’d do it myself if I didn’t have enough work on my plate already lol.

Thing is that is a fixable problem. It’s technologically very possible to set up a simple algorithm to try to get like 3-5 posts max from one community, have them be as recent as possible, and return the most popular ones.

Reddit has a problem that is rooted much more deeply; their CEO.

I don’t believe there to be much of a difference.

I mean, that’s a good one. But the problem for me is that I already have a few special games, and even without playing them they would show up on my profile if I ever set it to visible.

Huniepop that pussy

It’s kind of funny to me that a KYM page is now a valid source for news.

I don’t understand how after all these years Steam doesn’t have more granular control over what games / activity you show to the world. Why can I just hide some games?

How is this so hard for a small indie company?
