Best case: This achieves absolutely nothing.

Worst case: Your 'temporary' email account gets banned for spamming (new account, first email sent is marked as spam by receiver). Then your original email account is banned too for ban evasion (same IP, same browser fingerprint, they know it's you).

Just don't mess with the spam filters on a server that doesn't belong to you.

Absolutely NEVER mark anything from an online email provider you want to keep as spam. They use shared systems, it's not just spam for you, but potentially for everyone on that email provider. That's one way to protect people from receiving spam, 100 users marked that same newsletter email as spam? Alright, the newsletter will go to the spam folder for the next 20k users.

If you mark legitimate emails as spam for fun you're fucking up the system (and give the sender a massive headache if suddenly every @gmail.com receiver puts their emails into the spam folder).

But they do.

For example on desktop if you skip through a video while it's set to auto (1080p) at some point it will fall down to 480p. Maybe because YouTube thinks your connection has an issue, or maybe they just want to save bandwidth. If you manually set it to 1080p it stays there.

The whole thing is annoying.

I'm leaning towards die. It would have lasted longer as Twitter. But as X? Old politicians will just get confused where their blue bird app went.

You can believe what you want, but I literally did this a month ago. Editing my comments, then submitting a GDPR request and getting a large package of my data. Showing every up and downvote for example (which was over a million entries, ouch) and every comment and post I ever made in the last 11 years.

Deleting your comment does not delete the database entry. It's up to discussion if that conforms to GDPR, because theoretically you could have personal data in your comment.. but for now they don't delete them. So obviously your GDPR request will contain deleted comments, as they are still right where you left them (and you agreed to the terms and conditions of Reddit which technically make any content you post on their platform their content legal wise).

If you edited your comment and then deleted it and the GDPR request showed the original comment.. then that's a different matter. As far as I tried out they don't keep the comment from before the edit around. Though if you do it too fast, instant edit and delete maybe something gets messed up and the edit doesn't stick. But this hasn't happened to me yet (except I edit more than one comment in 3 seconds, then it gets rate limited).

Reddit admitted they only keep the last version of your comments around, so if you edit them with random crap it's as close to deletion as you can get.

That's not true. I edited (nearly) all my comments. Then did a GDPR request. All the comments I touched were overwritten in there.

I didn't catch all of them though, it's damn tough to get every single one. If you just go through your profile page by page they don't show all. If you select "Top" comments you find more. If you select "Controversial" you find even more and so on. So I only managed to overwrite maybe 95% or something, but it's good enough.

Oh and they also have caching and spam protection. So you have to slowly overwrite comments, about one comment every 3 seconds or you get rate limited. And directly after overwriting the comment it might still show up in the old version till their caching servers catch up. So maybe you thought you overwrote your comments, but in reality the requests failed in the background because you went too fast.

Every single one of your examples sounds like askreddit/asklemmy. Just block that community if you want to avoid them.

And talks about a time before the internet while he looks what? 30-40 in that image?

Yes, things are bloated and slow, it's annoying. But the article didn't add much or go into the reasons why.

The way Musk is leading Twitter he's either a moron or trying to destroy the entire service.

Maybe someone called him a slur in a tweet and now he wants to remove the entire platform? Who knows. Though we was mostly the guy calling others pedos..

It's a language model, it can't even do math reliably. Yes, it produces code that works sometimes, but it also hallucinates functions that don't exist or can introduce bugs you won't notice at first glance.

And writing a script is different than extending an existing code base. How often do you really start a greenfield project?

I wouldn't even know how to input a code base into ChatGPT to extend, do you just throw in hundreds of files with a 100k+ lines of code?

What the heck kind of build is that? 7900 with 64 GB RAM and a RX 580? With a 650W PSU in a 2023 build, ouch.

I'm running a 5800X3D and RTX 3080 off 650W, but that's not recommended. For a new build in regards to 4000 and 5000 series I'd 100% grab a 850W one so I wouldn't have to worry.

5000 series is 2025 unfortunately (at least Nvidia claims that, it should have been late 2024). So you should rather pick up something now instead of letting your build go to waste.

My 3080 can't reliably push over 100 fps in all games I play at 1440p (240hz display), at least when we're talking about heavier games. 10 GB VRAM is also on its way out.

If you spend that much on a build I'd probably go RTX 4080. DLSS3 can be worth it, for example in Witcher 3 (with raytracing I get a wonky 40-70 fps in Novigrad. A 4000 series card doubles that with DLSS3, even if input latency might suffer a tiny bit).

If you really want to wait nearly 2 years for a new gen card then at least get a 3070. Even that stutters in a handful of games due to 8 GB VRAM (Diablo 4, Hogwarts Legacy, ..), so it's not a great solution either.

Should you just play older games and not new releases then get whatever.

With the components you have it's tough. Maybe you can get a used 5600X? It would still feel like a massive upgrade (99% fps matters a lot more for smoothness than average fps).

For an actually decent longer lasting upgrade on the same motherboard you'd need a 5800X3D, new RAM (2x16 GB 3600 MHz preferred) and a new GPU.

So it might actually be best to save up now and build a new rig with RTX 5000 series and the next gen of CPUs.

What's the rest of your PC? CPU? RAM? PSU? What display do you have (resolution and refresh rate)?

What kind of games do you like to play?

And what's your budget? There is no 250€ RTX 4000 series :)

Knowing the companies involved this is a positive change.

Activision Blizzard is a toxic dump. My hope is Microsoft throws out Activision management and cleans things up.

It literally can't get worse than it is right now.
