This happens occasionally and have to be patient for a fix to come out. Sometimes takes a week or longer. During those times I just use freetube as a rss feed and use it to open videos on Firefox.

Pretty crazy amount of plugins I need to make default youtube palatable though like sponsorblock, dearrow, and blocktube. Freetube just simplifies it when it works.

Being able to actually leave behind big tech with Microsoft being one of the biggest ones with all the changes going on when it comes to things like privacy and getting your information sold is pretty huge for some people.

People have been tired of Microsoft since Windows 10 when even a clean install would have ads, and it went from a basic OS to one trying to get you to log into an account to funnel data from you.

At this point is kind of less about the games, but improvements to Linux and the attempt to make it more accessible for the average user who isn’t tech savvy that has people seeing Valve positively.

Yeah I doubt my chinese MiniPC came with official Windows. Had recommendation tp go through initial set up offline. Not that I kept Windows. I wiped it and put Fedora on it.

Yeah, while it is draw for majority of people it is the reason I stayed away from it because the concept of social media brought to you by TMZ sounded like a nightmare. But, those who want to feel closer to celebrities or get the opportunity to go viral love it.

Might be overlap between those who like sharing personal things on social media, and those who don’t see a problem with things like meta glasses due to finding the concept of not putting your entire life on social media bizzare.

All sorts of people exist. Just wasn’t sure if it was a common sentiment.

People doing long youtube videos were calling for unreal engine often?

Maybe it is because of the online spaces I visited like nexusmods or skyrimmods, but switching to unreal isn’t a common request I’ve seen.

I remember there being more disappointment when hearing that CDPR would be moving to unreal for their future games.

Of course, different online spaces dictate the reality people are most exposed to and Im going to guess devs might be more active on places like Twitter and Tiktok with it having more reach? Which is going to lean towards more dumb and toxic takes with shortened character limits and opportunity to directly harass people.

After you run it and make sure everything is deleted do a gdpr request after it has been like 2 months to see what data is left. It’ll show comments that haven’t been removed or you might have missed along with links to those comments.

I used shreddit back in the day which used reddit api and gdpr files to rewrite and delete all comments based on the direct links provided by the gdpr files. Its hard to get reddit api key now. But, nothing got restored.

I think people who said their comments were restored used things like power delete suite which relies on comments it can see based on your profile on old.reddit. There was a limit to the amount of comments it showed like 1000. So it would delete 1000 comments and not show anything. But, then later repopulate the profile with the next set of 1000 after a few days.

So what they thought was reddit restoring comments might have been comments that hadn’t been rewritten/deleted showing up.

Use power delete suite. Rewrite comments. You’ll have to run it a few times when you get an error. Then after checking to see everything has been rewritten use it to delete comments. This is so if comments get restored it’ll be with overwritten content.

Then check on your profile in a few days or a week to do the same thing for the next set of comments that appear.

I’m not sure if it has changed, but reddit had a limit of the amount of comments displayed on your profile. Like 1000? So if you had like 5000 comments you’d have to run the rewrite then delete process 5 times while waiting for a few days for the comments that didn’t appear before to show up in your profile.

Don’t delete your account. Just leave it dormant just in case there are comments that didn’t get overwritten and deleted that might show up on your account.

It seems you are insulted at the general idea of having suggestions given, and fall to subjective claims for your argument and throw in insults like saying I sound machine translated.

Doesn’t seem like you ever wanted a discussion in the first place but to vent.

This seems to complete dismiss the existence of mods which for pc gamers some find hard to go back to the vanilla version.

Which overturns the idea with it not being concepts but actual ideas to solutions put out by people who weren’t part of development.

I think proposing a completely different engine is different from gameplay balancing suggestions.

Which that article doesn’t even seem to be fixating on, but discussing the creative side.

Proton is a non profit which is why I hope they change the hidden price change strategy.

But then again Open AI was founded as a nonprofit which shows how much that label actually matters.

Tech channels get more scrutiny because their reputation lives and dies by how credible they are as opposed to being purely entertainment.

I trusted him less after he chose to stick with PIA after they got bought by Kape which is a company that had a history of distributing malware and adware

The issue is who he sold it to — the notorious creator of some pernicious data-huffing ad-ware, Crossrider. The UK-based company was cofounded by an ex-Israeli surveillance agent and a billionaire previously convicted of insider trading who was later named in the Panama Papers. It produced software which previously allowed third-party developers to hijack users’ browsers via malware injection, redirect traffic to advertisers and slurp up private data.

Why would I trust someone’s hardware and software opinions if that’s the sponsor they stuck with back then?

Never hears of Drew, but looks like he’s just a comedian? Not like his content is giving out product recommendations under the guise of being an expert who can be trusted.

LTT is an advertising channel to me. For their merch or sponsors. Modern day infomercials for people who are entertained by ads hosted by personalities.

Are modders considered players or devs? Lot of mods have fixed the problems I had with games. So modders at least are not only identifying the problem but providing the solution themselves.

But, they are kind hybrid of being a player first but also taking on the role of devs due to having the technical skills to make solutions a reality.

I got a 3DS and DSi not too long ago to play games on, so I’m more likely to go backwards and get old tech to play timeless classics than stream new games.

If you want to get the game wouldn’t you want to avoid further trailers to avoid getting stuff spoiled?

Just saying moving away from Sony to PC doesn’t prove Sony’s point, since they are removing physical knowing people will stay on their consoles and buy their digital games.

Last thing they want is for people to move to PC, since they went as far as to discontinue future exclusives there. They don’t care about digital games on PC. Just digital for their console.

Yeah you have to check that specific comments you deleted remain deleted, since ones that showed up could just be ones that regular automated deleting methods couldn’t access at the time due to profile comment display limits.

So the profile might have a limit of displaying 1000 comments and if you ran something like power delete suite it would delete 1000, but if you had more than that like 5000 comments there would be 4000 left that wasn’t deleted due to being inaccessible at the time. After some time the next 1000 would show up in the profile that hadn’t been viewable before. So you’d basically have to run it like 5 times to delete everything over weeks.

I do remember people recommending to rewrite comments and then delete later in case comments are restored. Some using messages like this comment has be deleted and if you are seeing this it means it has been restored.
