That would mean running an unmarked ad for five seconds, which would create an interesting legal question. But YouTube also buffers a good chunk of upcoming content, so there's enough upcoming video material to check.

It might take a lot more effort, but I don't think this will be the end. Google is required by law to label ads as such, giving these tools an opportunity to detect and skip them.

There was a time when I was actually worried about job security due to an overabundance of young people wanting to enter the field. Nowadays, not so much.

On the other hand, I'm instead now worrying that younger generations might become even less able to understand the importance of digital rights if they don't even understand the basics of the technology.

Even worse, it also previews the theme when selected. I hope that the logic they use for that feature works in a simpler way.

Wait, am I missing something here? Are there countries where you don't have all options on the ballot, or at least an empty space?

Edit: Saw your explanation in another comment. Wouldn't having to bring your own ballot also invalidate voting secrecy, since bringing your own indicates that you most likely intent to vote for an unlisted party (and, in reverse, anyone using the regular ballot voting for a party that's listed)?

I hate how oddly specific "Moved from Jekyll to Hugo people" is, mostly because that's exactly what I did as well. I don't use it to write any blog posts though. It's more a "Here's a list of things I've created"-generator.

The topic is bloatware, not games.

The original post includes two gaming examples, so it's actually about both, which is a bit unfortunate, because as you've said, they're two very different things.

I think the examples given are just poorly chosen. When it comes to regular applications and DRM, then yes, that's ridiculous.

On the other hand, when it comes to gaming, then yes, give me all the raytracing and visible pores on NPCs. Most modern games also scale down well enough that it's not a problem to have those features.

The non-fun answer is that they're most likely just using the default screenshot mechanism, which already blocks that. Other programs like KeePassXC, which also hides itself from screenshots and recordings (unless allowed) will probably not be included either.

Recall won't take snapshots of [...] DRM-protected content.

At least the movie industry will survive this unscathed. Thanks Microsoft. 👍

Some of the other comments show that off pretty well. When people say they want a dumb phone they usually want a "dumb" phone that also has X, where X may be their favorite messaging app but it can also be anything else really, like a good camera or support for NFC payments.

... which is also not open-source. But yeah, it's areally good music player and organizer.

Looking into the metadata of the included PDF version reveals that it's from 2004, so even a bit older than that.

Just to give a bit of context: This comes after two months of outright refusal to do even the bare minimum, like transferring the Steam Store listings for games where the devs had full ownership of the IP.

So yeah, it's nice to see that this will seemingly be resolved somewhat nicely, but that's about it.

I really hope so. I just can't comprehend how they thought that shutting down this studio in particular was a good idea, when Hi-Fi Rush has kind of been used as the poster child for GamePass for a while now. That alone should've been a good reason to keep the studio alive, even if it was operating at a loss.

All they had to do was to allow me to move the taskbar to the side and I'm only partially joking.

Yup. At the very least, they shouldn't have made it a requirement for TFT. If it were possible to cheat there that'd be more of a game design problem anyway.

I'd have a bit more symphaty if they at least tried to do the bare minimum before choosing the nuclear option.

Most notably, the PVE queues in LoL were infested with bots for years and you could tell them apart from real players before they even made their first move. Often times you'd be the only human player. If stuff like that wasn't caught, I have serious doubts about their previous efforts to catch "real" cheaters.

Lots of good advice already, but there's two things I'd add:

1. If you can't find a place to test different keyboards you could also get a switch sampler first. They're relatively inexpensive, at least compared to getting a keyboard you don't end up liking. You don't need one with lots of keys or with multiple brands, as long it contains the major types (Clicky, Tactile, Linear) and has some variation in actuation force. Worst case, you end up with a new fidget toy.
2. You don't necessarily need VIA, just QMK. There's the online QMK configurator, which allows you to configure your keyboard, download it as custom firmware and flash it. If you have some experience as a developer you can also just grab the QMK firmware and customize it that way. QMK offers excellent tooling and tutorials that makes this incredibly easy, particularly on Linux. I'd recommend checking this out even before deciding on a specific keyboard model.

[...] I didn't bother to activate 2fa on my github account. I ended up writing a simple fetch for fun, ...

I'm not judging, but reading those two lines back to back is pretty funny.

Also good to know what causes those seams. I've noticed it in some consoles, but never bothered to check why exactly that is.
