Does your vote get reset exactly 24 hours after your last vote, or is it reset midnight UTC time?

Thanks for putting this together!

It looks like a lot of people are attempting to use it on comments instead of a direct reply to the post, while expecting it to go to the commenter.

Can we get a confirmation from the bot of who the vote is going to?

On android at least, the files get saved to the following directory:
$Home/Pictures/

On the Gallery app it will be under:
Albums/Pictures/

If this is something we actually want to fix, we'll need to work with legislators to come up with a law that can't be worked around by using some Terms of Service that everyone magically agrees to by visiting a site.

A lot of people claim that this was done illegally, but artists really shouldn't be using websites like Instagram where they grant a royalty-free license to Meta where they are allowed to sell your images to anyone they want.

when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Service, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings).

Yeah, additionally if a post is removed or deleted for any reason, all of the comments of that post are also nuked and all of that information is lost.

One of the best ways to start getting away from YouTube is to use Grayjay.

You can still follow content creators who are only on YouTube, but it allows you to curate your feed and mix in all of the content creators that do upload their content to other platforms like Peertube, Nebula, Odysee, Patreon, Twitch, Kick, Bitchute, Rumble, etc.

Yeah, they definitely should focus on adding more RAM to their flagship phones, but smaller models are ideal for smartphones.

Smaller models are quicker to run and use up less battery. Besides, if they're using some AI models I would rather it be run locally than have my data uploaded to some server somewhere (big assumption that they wouldn't do that anyway, I know)... Or at the very least I can still run it even if the network goes down.

Features-wise, Guilded has all of the same features that discord has (and maybe slightly more).

Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!!

No problem. Unfortunately the prompt for an application being denied access usually only shows up when the game first creates a save point. So you might have to get just far enough until the game saves to trigger it.

Issues like that are usually related to windows security settings which block applications from modifying the contents of user specific folders.

If a game likes to write save files to those locations and you have enabled ransomware protection, you'll need to allow an exception for it:

Go to Windows Security -> Protection History -> Protected folder access blocked (look for the game's executable in this list) -> Actions -> Allow on Device

I doubt it would work well, but with enough training data it would be able to pick up on some areas. Especially if there are large landmarks in the frame (mountains/hills/rivers, etc.).

One interesting alternative would be the Visual Positioning System (VPS) that Niantic has built from Pokemon go player data. Basically you can take a picture outside and your phone will know exactly where you are:

Too bad they're getting close to being bought out by a company that's notorious for squeezing out every penny from their player base.

Edit: Correction, Pokemon Go is being bought from Niantic... The company itself is not being bought.

I had the same problem, but I found that turning up the advanced Parameter Values in the Text Prediction settings helps to keep everything spelled correctly. I'm currently at 10.4 for the transformer strength and 8.3 for the autocorrect threshold and I'm noticing a lot less issues.... I haven't tested out turning it up all the way yet.

I also have the Transformer fine tuning enabled.

The swipe feature definitely needs some attention.

They do have a crowdsourced way of helping to improve their swipe prediction, more info on the link here: https://swipe.futo.org/

You'll notice that even the swipe prediction for Heliboard comes from a closed source library.

Futo has been my favorite so far compared to other keyboards. I haven't used Heliboard yet, but it also looks like a good option.

I did a quick search but couldn't find any issue with their anticheat.

From what I could find, it's not a kernel level anticheat.

As far as damaging hardware, reading from a drive doesn't really degrade it much at all, the bigger concern there would be if it was writing to your drive a ton (but honestly you should worry more about Window's Page File system since that makes it possible to use your storage drive as RAM).

I found a post from one player on the steam forums with concerns about the anticheat because their system kept crashing, but that sounded more like an isolated incident (or more likely related to the Intel CPU issue that was confirmed that same year).

There is a highly upvoted review for the game which has concerns about the anticheat reading all files on a drive and "overloading your processors (ignoring frame-rate caps and going past it)."

I agree that reading every file on a drive is concerning, I'd rather any anticheat stick to just the game's folders itself.

However, I'm wary about their understanding of programs/computers if they think that anti-cheat software should be limited by, or has anything to do with frame-rate caps. Also, they don't provide a source for any of their information or how they tested it.

Most other cocerns about anti-cheat quoted that same review in one way or another.

Yeah, you can see it here:

I looked into this a bit more and here's a quick video of someone testing out the demo that they have online:
