I read in another thread that a lot of people agreed Elon lost it when he called that diver of the rescue team for kids trapped in a cave in Thailand a pedo. I mean wtf. If I remember correctly he never apologized and defended his insult. That’s completely unacceptable.
This happened to me years ago. Suddenly got a random community guidelines violation on YouTube for a 3 second VFX shot that was not pornographic or violent and that I owned all the rights to. After that my whole Google account was locked down. I never found out what triggered this response and I could never resolve the issue with them since I only ever got automated responses. Fuck Google.
My DuckDuckGo experience has surprisingly been more useful.
Yeah, right!? I remember that one or two years ago DDG was consistently worse than Google but recently Google's quality has dropped off a cliff. Now when I don't get the desired result in DDG and switch to Google, the results are usually just as bad or worse.
I wish google was stricter with this SEO spam. I know it’s not easy to detect but if they do they should definitely blacklist sites just like servers can get blacklisted for sending email spam.
Yeah I love that little console too. Even Luke Pope who is known for Papers Please and Return of the Obra Dinn recently released his playdate game and it’s a ton of fun.
For anyone who wants to stay in the loop about the playdate theres !playdate@feddit.de
The playdates have unique serial numbers. Im pretty sure they could disable stolen units from ever connecting to the store. So, no season of games, no catalog purchases. The playdates would not exactly be worthless but Panic could probably track down the thieves if they sold the units.
Yeah I feel like most of the negativity came from people playing the poor console versions. If you didn’t try too hard to break it the day 1 PC release was okay. The story is amazing and made more than up for any of the bugs. I had a ton of fun with this game.
Man that scuba diver incident was also the turning point for me. Before that I actually thought he was involved in a lot of cool stuff and probably a positive influence but I also didn’t pay all that much attention to him.
Someone contacted me on Steam and asked if I wanted to play TF2 with him. It was one of my most played games at the time and I had a TF2 avatar, so no surprises here.
That person later asked me to rate their TF2 team on some website. Didn’t care first but did it eventually. The website needed Steam auth but just faked the Steam auth and relayed every bit of information you entered to steal your account.
Quickly realized my mistake and reset my password before anything happened. Im still surprised how much effort went into this fake rating site just to steal some Steam accounts.
Are lemmy.ml and lemmy.world abandoned by the mods or what’s up with the constant stream of spam that nobody removes?
