  • This for sure is what people want

  • Then have two options: block and mute. With mute, users won't know you've muted them, as you've described. With mute, the user would not be able to see your posts.

  • But they can't comment on them. To do that, they'd have to create a new account. And, if they did that, you'd see it and be able to report them (if it's a reportable offense, and, in most cases, it is) or block them (or both).

  • To add to this, often, even if you turn off Bluetooth, your devices can still communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy, something that's separate from classic Bluetooth and typically (to my knowledge) cannot be turned off. As an example, I've heard that Google uses it to send ad targeting info between devices.

  • Wouldn't yt-dlp be forced to download the server-side ads, too?

  • Honestly, I can't sleep without any white noise.

    Without it, it's just quiet. Too quiet...

  • Like the other guy said, it's not always true.

    For example, even when you're physically in the store, a T-Mobile employee may require you to read back a code that their system texted to you for certain transactions like buying a new phone for someone on your account or something like that.

  • Bluesky continues to soar

    Jump

  • Just an FYI for the RSS thing: if a Bluesky account is set to be viewable to logged-in users only, its RSS feed will not work. It only works if the profile is viewable publicly without logging in.

  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests

  • No, I think the point here is that the kids never learned the material, not that AI taught them the wrong material (though there is a high possibility of that).

  • MPA says no more “Whac-a-Mole” with pirate sites, claims it took down “mothership”

    Jump

  • In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won't have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).

    It's also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)

    Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.

  • Eh, Aniwave was a pretty big one for the anime community. From what I understand, it's the one most people fled to after KissAnime was taken down. Aside from that, I've never heard of any of the other sites they mentioned.

  • Pretty sure the ampersand (&) doesn't work in website URLs like that. (Yes, it does work in URLs, but, without going into detail, it's typically only used towards the end of the URL.)

    That's what tipped me off about the fake URL.

  • Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm just a big JRPG fan.

    As for the Trails series, I've been told that the best place to start is (understandably) the beginning. Play in release order. The first three games are in 2.5D (as opposed to 3D), but they actually hold up really well.

    Most people (myself included) will recommend that you use a spoiler-free guide to avoid missing hidden quests and collectibles (such as a book series you'll collect in its entirety over the course of the first game). I'm using this spoiler-free guide for my playthrough of the first game.

    It's also recommended that you go around talking to every NPC in the town you're in every now and then. Dialogue updates as the main quest advances and, at times, if you've had an interaction with an NPC in (for example) a side quest and that NPC later pops up in the main quest, the NPC will remember that interaction from the side quest. Some NPCs also pop up in later games with their stories continuing (or so I've been told).

    Almost every single Trails game is also available DRM-free with achievements on GOG. The only one missing is the latest game (which has a "coming soon" page). The series goes on sale on GOG pretty frequently, too.

    Also, examine every chest twice: once to open it and once to see the "empty chest" dialogue. The English localizers noticed that, in the Japanese version of the game, instead of having the empty chests call a single line of dialogue multiple times, each chest had its own line to call. (It was the same thing copied and pasted every single time.) So they had some fun with it and made nearly every empty chest have unique dialogue.

    Also, just today, during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, a remake of the first game in full 3D with the modern Trails aesthetic, was announced for a 2025 release worldwide. Though I don't know how faithful it'll be to the original game or to its localization. So you could wait for that if you want or just play the original trilogy immediately. But, again, the originals still hold up really well.
