The original text had 'he' where 'it' was correct. Which supports part of your premise.
They also merged a change request that changed those instances alongside 'they' instances. I don't know if the original author and denier was involved, but it's certainly important context missing from OP blog post.
the whole point behind it was them making an assumption about something
What makes you think the change suggesters assumed ill intent?
The submitted PRs seem to reason improvement, not accuse the original author. I see them suggesting a change, neutrally. With (minimal) objective reasoning.
/edit: I see the later ones did. But the first one didn't. And the second one arguably didn't.
“I think the comparison to a prison wasn’t perfect,” Cohen candidly admits of his post

I don't see why it would be theater even if they were not actively practicing currently or recently.
I'm not surprised unlisted content would show up. A single public or leaked link means unlisted is discoverable elsewhere than the primary listings. YouTube can't solve that. The private alternative setting already exists.
The problem with law solutions is that they only work as far as the law and prosecution reaches. Maybe the western nations will agree on common policies. Like they do on copyright for example. But will China follow? Russia? Smaller countries? Will the prosecution be active or realistically possible?
Laws are important as agreed upon baselines. But they're no technical guarantees. They're quite limited on a public, accessible Internet.
I'd actually like that if it follows good practicses. I feel like the good ones will continue to be good ones anyway, ignoring unification.
Steam Controller.
It's big enough for my long hands. And it has a ton of features and customizability.
What I don't like is the right track pad when games expect a joystick. Depending on the game controls, it can be suboptimal. (configurable to a degree with center deadzone)
If your content doesn't fit on the platforms limit, why not post on a platform intended for or accepting such content?
This form is quite irritating to read.
Fonseca died during the trial and was cleared of charges in May.
They cleared them early because they died? Could they still have ruled after death or not? If they could, there must have been enough reason to clear?
IIRC in Germany there's still an active prosecution section working on the cases (and only those). It takes a long time to go through. And we may not hear of what comes of the cases.
Mastodon user posts about rejected change suggestion to neutral pronouns. Many critical comments get posted on the old rejected PR. Someone else creates a PR to fix grammar mistakes, including pronouns, it gets merged.
Judges don’t tell a team their facts are wrong, the other team does. Judges decide which of the teams had better argumentation.
I find the judge symbolism interesting and compelling, but moderators are not judges. They're not making a judgement in place of the citizens by the end.
Rather than only letting two people debate, they could ask for clarifications. If you see them as press, and as representing the citizens, you may even think they have to to fulfill the press code and their responsibility.
I think it's a question of how you see the debate. What it is, or should be. Is it between the two candidates, and moderators merely give it structure? Or is it a debate with an expectation of truth and trustworthiness, fulfilling the press code, where the moderators would have to at least point out lies or ask for clarifications?
A debate between two candidates has its value, but we can't deny it strengthens Trumps position as an apparently to many people charismatic liar. Between only two people it's about who is more charismatic and convincing, not about truthfulness, verifiability. All of those only go as far as the other candidate can establish them.
If many citizens watch only the debate, is that enough to inform them / base their voting [or omission thereof] on?
In the end, it may be understandable to wish for moderators to point out lies. It can be irritating and frustrating to see lies on a podium finding success, without successful, conclusive rebuttal. But that's not the moderators' place in the show format as it is.

Did they denounce target children before?
“Temu is designed to make this expansive access undetected, even by sophisticated users,” Griffin’s complaint said. “Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.”
So just like the majority USAian app out there?
Which apps do that? Because I am certain it's NOT the majority, and very skeptical about any other apps doing that.

Over the last eight months, Israel has killed at least 37,765 people and injured another 86,429, according to the ministry’s latest figures. These numbers are likely an undercount due to the decimated medical infrastructure, killed medical workers, and thousands feared trapped under the rubble in Gaza.
Was there a debate in Congress? Did they reason their vote?
The closing paragraphs in the article paint a bleak light. None of reason or arguments. Only denial and dismissal of opposition/different views without any reasoning.

- I did in the past: Replace
.bikintro video file with an "empty" one to skip intros - I know of, haven't used: Change game window to be borderless with Borderless Gaming
- IIRC I've used Cheat Engine, before it was littered with shit, to speed up an awfully slow singleplayer game
- In Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (W:ET) I had a whole setup of config scripts for key bindings
- For W:ET server hosting I put configuration into a deliberate, structured set of files (it's not necessarily obvious between splitting base game and alternateable mod configuration)
Reading the post and comments on Softbank plans to cancel out angry customer voices using AI made me think it could be an interesting topic to chat about.
I think the best support I received was in the chat application and service Slack. A competent, friendly human responds. I had two or three support inquiries with them.
The last issue I had in Slack was when I opened via try icon click my clipboard content was being pasted. I was surprised they were able to identify the issue which was due to a third-party application that had only just released with the issue a day earlier. Slack support was responsive with a first message before the solution, and fast to respond with the second message with the identified cause.
I'm not sure any stand out as particularly awful for me. [Kinda] Bad seems to be the norm. Sometimes bots sit in front of being able to write a message (my bank, I have to write the same inquiry a second time), sometimes the first response is automated or templated, sometimes the first response is automated and immediately but a human will follow up, sometimes you call and can hardly understand them because of accent or even awful intonation. Often you receive incompetent answers that don't respond to your message or issue. Sometimes they're unwilling or incapable of resolution or agreeable conclusions.

I stumbled upon their videos and watched three. It's absurd and often hilarious how bad most of the games are.
Jauwn shows us through the games and their gameplay, but also checks further into the mechanisms trying to bait people and the publishers and developers at times linking them to previous scams.
- About Banana - the Steam game that reached fourth-most-played-game apparently, and still has 90% positive on 14k ratings
- Exploring three crypto games on the Epic Games store - I laughed multiple times at how bad and absurd it was
- Exploring some crypto games games on Steam (which is the timestamped post link)
- They have more such videos on their channel
Today, we had European elections in Germany.
We have the Wahl-O-Mat, a state-funded service, where you can answer 38 questions, and then match your positions against a selection of or all political parties that could be elected. It then shows you how much overlap (a percentage) you have with the various parties and their answers to those questions.
I find this to be a very important and useful tool for citizen information.\ Campaign adverts are shallow and colorful PR. Broad slogans.\ Individuals are not necessarily what the broader party policies are and how they vote. Personal sympathy can even be misleading in that a sympathetic person may not hold the values and positions you do.\ Voting for a party, I think their program and stances should be the primary decision factor. (Alongside assessment of whether you can trust them of course.)\ It obviously and drastically shows you misconceptions about parties and your alignment, and shows you parties relevant to you that you may not have known about before.
Do other countries have something/things like that too? A tool to match personal stance against political parties' stances? [In a concrete and up-to-date way.]
Wanna listen to this story instead? Check out this week's Better Offline podcast, "The Man That Destroyed Google Search," available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it. The story...
I found this article a bit too elaborate and digressive, but it has a lot of content and sourcing.
> In one email, Fox adds that there was a “pretty big disconnect between what finance and ads want” and what search was doing.
> When Gomes pushed back on the multiple requests for growth
> In a WIRED interview from 2021, Steven Levy said Raghavan “isn’t CEO of Google— he just runs the place,” and described his addition to the company as “a move from research to management.”
We sounded the alarm about independent publishers being demoted on Google to give way to big media sites. This is what happened next.
From Forbes and Money content farms, to Google search algorithm changes promoting generic and generated content and big media platforms over specific results, to Google prioritizing ads, overpriced, and other worse results.
Developing interactivity is effort and an investment. Most developers put up a simple loading screen, maybe some text like rotating tips, and a loading indicator. Until 2015 a patent on interactive loading screens may have made developers and publishers cautious and decide against developing interactivity.
High Hell, released in 2017, features fast gameplay, short levels, and interactive loading screens. (Linked Clip) (High Hell Steam page)
What's the best kind of loading screen? Do you have examples of good or bad interactive loading screens?
From the super long title, I expected The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash to be a mediocre standard-production anime, probably isekai, like we have seen numerous in recent times.
But the first episode instantly sets a great atmosphere and tone, substantiated by great visuals, animation, world depth, and story premise. While aspects or focus points change through the journey progression, the production quality never drops.
The "tamer" and picking-up-trash aspects are only a premise and hardly important to what is happening.
It's an adventure, a youthful exploration, stemming from hardships, with discoveries of the world and people. It's slow-paced - it reminded me of Mushishi (beautiful, world-depth, character embedded in world, slow-paced).
It's a great series that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Have you watched it? What did you think?

In Sky: Children of the Light you can let yourself get taken by the hand, and the other player guides/plays for you and you barely need to do anything anymore. Felt a bit absurd and funny, but interesting nonetheless. Certainly unique. It was also very good to eat some snacks and watch yourself progress while doing so. !bee happy emoji
Sky is an interesting and visually beautiful/well-crafted game. It has many things going for it. But also things I found frustrating and annoying.
I was also confused quite a bit, about quite a few things about what is happening and interacting in what way.
If only there weren't so many cutscenes blocking me from actually playing the game and feeling embedded in the world and atmosphere. I hate those disrupting cutscenes. Forced camera focus was also annoying at times.
Overall, I find Sky quite interesting, and can certainly recommend taking a look at and even into it.
Sky: Children of the Light is available on Steam for free, in Early Access. It has also been available on iOS since 2019, Android since 2020, Switch since 2021, PS4 since 2022.

Walking back and forth between sofa + controller + TV and my PC + keyboard to chat with people was a hassle though 🤡 (I was streaming PC to TV so it was the same thing. Chatting is entirely optional.)
(Sorry for the shitty screenshot photo of hand-holding.)

Have you played Sky? What did you think of the implementation of social systems and interactions with other players?
I have an Android tablet and a pen for it.
Do you have any FOSS experience or recommendations for Android tablet drawing apps?
