A popular and powerful device for streaming other services. And direct integration in certain TVs as the "Smart" OS. Streaming was something they tried to build their offering and widen their reach when Google and Apple started getting decent streaming boxes themselves and TV manufacturers started having usable(while still bad) smart OSs.
I often like to browse the "All" view instead of just my subscribed communities. It helps me find new communities, as well as get information from communities I wouldn't normally be interested in. Unfortunately, the most popular communities are mostly meme communities. That content does well to grab users, get upvotes, and have comments. As a result, almost any way you sort "All" comes back with Memes at the top unless you block the communities.
Tags are useful for filtering out things. So if a post is tagged with "meme", I don't need to see it, even when I'm on a view that's wider than just my subscriptions. Meme is a good example for me, because at this point I've had to block several meme focused communities because it's content I really don't care to see. I don't want to suggest that people who enjoy it shouldn't be able to, but I also am tired of blocking new communities as I run into them.
DisplayPort is a better system than HDMI. It even can ride piggy back on USB-C, which means a display can both power a computer on the same line as it connects to a laptop with. DisplayPort also supports daisy chaining(although it's not a common feature on monitors), so you could potentially have a single USB-C cable going to a laptop and then have multiple monitors connected with needing a dock or anything of that sort.
Not everyone has the money for a copy of Word. There once was a time when free rich text editors were valuable. But at this point I agree it isn't needed anymore. There are plenty of FOSS alternatives to word that hit that market. Microsoft has probably kept it around this long to prevent people from looking, but now they've put their bet on cloud services.
I'd guess that it is doing voice to text, then standard automatic moderation on the text, rather than a new AI that understand hateful sounds. Just a guess though. At this point, you could run the voice to text on local machines and pass that off to the server. Of course that means modders could disable the protection, but the vast majority of users wouldn't be able to do that. It would also give the added benefit of transcriptions for players that can't hear voice chat.
If only used to flag, then passed to a moderation team for verification, it would work really well to police something that is almost impossible to police otherwise. That said, I'm sure they wont do that, they'll just let it handle the moderation and ignore the false positives. Honestly, I'm still OK with that, I haven't used voice chat in games in 20 years because it always devolves into a cesspool. So even bad moderation is better than what we have now.
To be fair to Cloudflare, url redirects isn't a feature of DNS. That's something a lot of registrar's pack in for free because users want it. It acts like a DNS feature, but is actually a web server that hands out 301 and 302s.
I watched the launch live, they set the expectation that "if it gets off the pad it is a successful test" way before the launch. That wasn't just post failure spin. They certainly didn't complete the mission as planned, but they gathered a lot of valuable data. Something tells me that they didn't expect the pad to be as damaged as it was. I'm guessing their data said there would be damage, but it would be significantly less. Now they know. Unfortunately there are few small errors on a ship that size.
To some degree, GTA3's story updates came in weird ways. SA and VC were new games, but they did have PSP versions that then got back ported to PS2 like Liberty City Stories. It was an odd way to get more content, but it worked. There wasn't a model for expansion packs on consoles back then the way there was on PC, but they did find ways to release more content for GTA3 and it's children, SA and VC.
It's a small thing that I think Flatpak is really missing. Drag and drop should just work, regardless of the permissions of the app, but it doesn't because what it feels like you are doing is different from what you are really doing doing. What you are really doing is simply pointing the app to where the files are that you want it to access, so I'm unsure how to fix that problem. I would love to see it fixed though, along with an open dialog that gives temporary permission to files.
To charge a subscription. I massively use Microsoft 365 for work, and they are really good at making sure they get a cut for everything you do. They also want to make sure every new Office feature is supported by their web version of office. I imagine they could run the python in a web browser, but it is easier to make it a cloud service you have to pay a subscription to. Did I say easier, I meant more profitable.
Alternatively, zsh is also good, and a little bit more modern. I still haven't found a solution that uses modern keyboard shortcuts and text entry functions. Even zsh things like shift+arrows and ctrl+arrows are an after market hack.
