You can't ignore that Max was given a free pitstop. Would Max have won even if he hadn't? Maybe. But after he was given the free pitstop, it was a sure thing that he was going to be in the top 3 ahead of George and Lando.

I have a few Kingston DTEG2. They all perform like the Crucial and the Samsung.

I've tried many SanDisk since that's all they sell in the brick and mortar stores near me and they're all trash.

I have a second SIM that I use for situations where I don't want to give out my real number.

It's a traditional PAYG SIM where I pay for a tiny bit of credit and it lasts until I use it. I need to make a billable once every few months to keep it active. So I just text myself once every couple of months. The $10 I put on it will last a few years before I need to top it up. Or I could just 'burn' it and get a new one.

They just hide your submissions/comments beyond your 1000 most recent contributions from your profile. The contributions remain on the website. I've found the only method to find contributions beyond the 1000 limit was to Google it or use third party archive databases.

With the new change workarounds to find old contributions will not be needed.

 

Reddit is removing the 1000 submission/comments limit on user profiles. Profiles will soon show all submissions/comments from the day the account was created.

Reddit is providing a method to delete all content by emailing redditdatarequests@reddit.com or via their form https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001370251

The submission link here on Lemmy takes you directly to a Reddit's admin submission that talks about the change.

The grind is a state of mind in my opinion. Are you playing the game because you enjoy it, or just so you can say you have everything and completed all aspects of the game? For me, thinking the game as a grind is only true for the latter.

I have everything in GTA online, but I've also got about ~4000 hours on it. There are only a few in game assets that add an improvement to the gameplay; everything else is meaningless.

The bit they said about being instantly killed and hunted wasn't true even before the Battleye update.

There are still modders on the game after the Battleye update but there is significantly fewer.

Sure you get ass holes in game, but you get ass holes in everything in life.

I've only had that once or twice.

I currently have ~4000 hours on the game. Only 100-200 of them is in story mode.

There is now Battleye, which has significantly reduced the number of modders, but it requires you to be comfortable with a kernel level anti cheat running on your system.

That's not true for every public lobby. You can play online by yourself, or just your friends if you don't want to be in a public lobby. And some modders are quite funny with it.

I'm speaking from a place where I currently have ~4000 hours on the game. Only 100-200 of them is in story mode.

Why do you believe online is unplayable?

Me too. I still use Reddit via the website. I think Reddit is also in a negative place at the moment too. It seems that most things I see these days are negatively voted, or Reddit's algorithm has changed and it mostly shows me negatively voted content in my feed.

 

It looks like there are many submissions now being downvoted across many subs.

Before the API change I never really noticed mass submissions with zero votes. Now i see multiple zero vote submissions daily and I browse Reddit for about 20 minutes a day. My feed is set to sort by hot, so I don't see many submissions that have just been created.

Is this a sign of the type of people using Reddit these days, a lack of moderation, or could there be some bots floating mass downvoting?

 

I've experienced it today where the app doesn't show the comment if I click one of my own comments or the reply to it. It shows the parent comment and other comments in the submission.

I've checked the modlog for the community and neither comment has been removed, so it looks like it's a bug with the app?

 

Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?

I'm having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven't deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.

 

I've noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by 'generating' content in communities, but I don't see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I'd just prefer to block them all so I don't see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?

 

I'm interested in looking at newly registered domains for bad actors.

There are services out there that offer zone files for 'all' TLDs but are too expensive for individuals not backed by a company to pick up the bill. I've also found some free lists but they appear to be incomplete.

So I've gone down the route of attempting to obtain zone files or at least newly registered domain lists from TLDs themselves. Obtaining zone files for gTLDs is straight forward with ICANN's CZDS service. But obtaining zone files for ccTLDs appears to be quite interesting. I attempted to Google but couldn't find anything so I've started to email ccTLDs; it already feels like I'm spamming since I'm sending the same email - I've only sent it to 10 TLDs so far. It looks like there are a few hundred ccTLDs.

Is there a better method than emailing each ccTLD and hoping for the best?
