Sometimes, but in more official writing (like a bio or even Wikipedia) we’ll use née. Just another word the English language stole from other languages 😂

It’s used for indicating someone’s maiden name usually, just tongue-in-cheek I wager by whoever wrote the title.

Usually it’s pretty ok but I remember once being in an online PvP match and windows decided right then it NEEDED to update and started the process. It just went into update mode and restarted (oh so slowly) - my guess is there was a popup that I didn’t see due to being in-game and it just went ahead and overrode whatever I was doing to update.

Agreed, I literally blocked that community because I was tired of seeing his name all the time and all they ever post is shit about him. I really don’t get it.

I don’t have specific info on what’s harvested, but I have had mine active for a while and I’m at 300k tracking attempts blocked in the last 7 days. It’s absolutely wild.

Edited to add - they don’t specify what is being attempted, just what each company is known to track generally.

League of Legends, no doubt (and no idea how many hours across my two main accounts). Just… yikes on a bike, that one.

Other tops probably Sims if I can count all the different games. Stardew and animal crossing are up there as well, I’m sure.

I want to say it’s @remindme @mstdn.social but without the space?

If you have android, the duckduckgo browser app has a beta opt-in app tracking blocker service. I activated it a few days ago and it’s been horrifying how many trackers there are. Almost 50,000 since I turned it on maybe 4 days ago.

By holding myself responsible, and by being kind. I don’t want to dox myself but having a reputation of someone who can be relied on and is trustworthy, and of also being nice to have around and to be with, means that when opportunities arise they’ll think of you.

I honestly didn’t notice them until this comment chain, and missed them terribly from Relay. So, uh, thanks, y’all? Lol

Yeah, it’s just reposts so the OPs never see any comments here. I learned this when I blocked the bot out of irritation from reposts, and the entire community disappeared lmao

A sub “the tenth dentist” (I forget the specific name) had a system where if you agreed with it you down vote, whereas if you disagree you upvote. I think it made moderation probably kind of tricky (they also had a way to flag things as hugely improbable/karma farming) but it at least kept the spirit of truly unpopular opinions at the forefront.

Same here. Even subs (instances? communities? still figuring out the lingo, sorry) are so quiet I’m even posting actual posts. Or on news posts, I have a question about the content where on reddit someone will have already asked and I can just see what responses or vitriol they got.

Is there a reason discord is also being devalued? I haven’t heard of anything negative going on there and they seem to be doing fine.

This too, hugely. I went back to reddit today for a bit and the comments in askreddit were brief, some only one word as an initial reply to the post, or just jokes. I’m all for jokes but it really stood out how reddit has slowly evolved and I really was a boiled frog who didn’t notice til I came to Lemmy and it was actual(!) discussions(!) again.

It wasn’t really one sub in particular for me, honestly. The one big thing was the ever-increasing repost comment bots: they started to show up here and there and by now they’re all over comment sections. I don’t get the point of why they were created in the first place, and to me it was very analogous to the overall decline in the site. More bots, less actual discussion.

Everyone I know who played OW has been following the news and updates for OW2 but as far as I know not actually playing. So to answer your question, yes… but also, no.
