I don’t think downvotes are necessary for every type of post. Art and information are personal, so if you don’t like it you should just move on.

I think opinion pieces, advice or just wrong information are the exact reason why downvotes are needed.

Advice with a lot of downvotes appears to be wrong. A news source with a lot of downvotes appears to misleading or false. If you post your opinion, downvotes show people disagree with your point of view.

It works for me, and if you disagree, feel free to downvotes this comment. I don’t seem it as a personal attack.

Edit: fyi, I upvoted your post as like the engagement on this subject.

As someone not from Germany but living there, I would recommend Tatort (Münster) and Traum Schiff.

I love it, but even if it’s not for everyone I feel like every country has cheesy shows like these and its interesting to see the German version.

Swiping from one side of the screen in a continuous motion across the screen to the other side is a built-in “back” gesture.

This makes me so happy.

Again. That is a valid feeling.

Be sceptical, be cynical, but don’t get that fatalist mindset where you feel like your choices won’t make a difference.

Not every small choice will make a difference, but some will, you just won’t know which one’s or what their effect will be.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will they it out.

Navigation is definitely the biggest thing I need to get use to. I do miss having a constant back gesture. Still getting use to the keyboard too.

The idea here is that by spending too long looking for the prefect solution and dismissing anything that is not perfect, you allow the bad system to thrive.

Regular and consistent changes for the better should not be dismissed because they could be better. Just keep trying to improve the system, no matter how small the change.

Valid point but do you think they would be more or less greedy if they had no competition?

I did the same, but looking back it feels like the added the rewards so people accepted them, and once they normalised having adds in the system they removed the rewards.

I’m pretty sure you can disable grouping of tabs. It use to annoy me too.

Edit:

Type about:config in the browser address bar, then copy browser.tabs.groups.enabled into the field that appears - double-click on the option that appears to toggle it to false.

RAM shortages will affect Steam products. A site hosting Notepad++ was compromised causing the update process to install a backdoor in some installations. RAM prices have gone up. GPU prices have gone up. Raw materials prices have gone up (gold, silver, copper, tin) which will have a knock on effect.

I can’t remember if there was anything else but basically no good news.

Sorry, that went way over my head. 🤦‍♂️

That sounded weird so I had to look this up. The hottest recorded temperature America is 134.4°F (56.7°C), which was measured in Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913.

I think you could be mixing up °C and °F.

It sounds like you are saying making this change will help good parents be good parents be good parents while bad parents will still be bad parents. I agree.

Your argument about not being responsible for the content your platform hosts is old. If a platform can’t moderate the content it hosts, don’t host it. Most people would even be happy with a reasonable attempt at moderation. I’m not one of those people, I don’t believe companies should profit from an unsafe product, which the prevents safe products from gaining traction as they are more expensive to run.

If you allow user generated content in your game, you should be responsible for it.

As for changing the rating not achieving anything, you’re wrong again. I imagine there are a lot of adults with kids who are unaware of the chat elements of Roblox and how it exposed their children to sex offenders. Changing the rating would likely cause some people to pause for thought when seeing it. It would probably limit it’s visibility on some store front. Possibly be removed from others. And if nothing else, I imagine the news cycle around having its rating changed would reach a lot of people who wouldn’t usually be aware of this.

As someone who down voted your comment, allow me to explain both why I think you are wrong and why I wasn’t going to waste time replying.

Firstly, the problem with not showing down votes is that the posts below would look the same

10k 🔺 100k 🔻

10k 🔺 0🔻

But we obviously know that 100k down votes is considerably worse than 0.

And secondly, why I didn’t comment? You didn’t ask a question, you haven’t haven’t said why you think your version is better to drive the conversation forward. You just made a comment. I disagree with it so I down voted it. if someone agrees, they up vote. Over time the ratio will show what the general opinion is.

I would say I am more a car person than a bike person.

I’m not against bicycle infrastructure, but I am against bad bike infrastructure.

I use to live in Cambridge in the UK and bike lanes were often an after thought meaning adapting the existing area to accommodate everyone regardless of if space was available. Unfortunately, it usually seemed that it was done for the lowest price so the local council could tick a box to say that it was done even if it was not fit for purpose.

The most common examples are where there is still parking or bus stops on the side of the street which blocks the bike lanes and forces cyclists onto the road again.

Another is the inconsistency of bike lanes being on the footpath or on the road. The cheep option seems to be to take which ever is widest (the path or road) and squeeze in a bike path. If the road and path were actually resized, and resurfaced properly, there would often be enough space for everyone.

How is this a meme?
