Starfield Official Gameplay Trailer
I’m excited! It looks to have combined the universe of No Man’s Sky, the main storyline of Interstellar & Contact, and the diversity of factions and cities of Skyrim. I’m a Patient Gamer so I won’t be preordering (this game or any other), but I’m optimistic we will (eventually) have a winner.

The green bubble problem is about to get even worse (Apple/Android)

RCS doesn't have a cross-platform end-to-end encryption solution. For cross-platform communication, cross-platform 3rd party solutions such as Signal work well.

Tesla autopilot killed 17 and crashed 736 times

I don’t think this is a fair comparison since an Autopilot crash is a 2 stage failure: the Autopilot and then the driver both failed to avoid the crash. The statistics do not include the incidents where Autopilot would have crashed but the human took control and prevented it. If all instances of human intervention were included, I doubt Autopilot would be ahead.

I 100% agree that Apple wrong for not supporting RCS (and I am an iPhone user). However, I personally choose to only use E2E for my communication be that iMessage or Signal.

Personally, I found that karma led to self-censorship of any idea that remotely deviated from the group consensus.

I don’t think user voting in of itself is a problem. It’s the consequences of large negative voting that causes the real problems. In Reddit, a single unpopular comment on a popular subreddit could send a casual Redditor into negative karma which effectively shadowbans them from Reddit. As a result, you see people deleting their comments to stop the bleeding. Controversial opinions are punished severely.

If a human crashes and their action/vehicle is responsible for the crash, the crash should be attributed to the human (excepting mechanical failure, etc). I believe that if an advanced safety systems, such as automatic braking, that prevent a crash that otherwise would have occurred, the prevented crash should also be included in the human tally. Likewise, if Autopilot would have crashed if not for the intervention of the driver, the prevented crash should be attributable to Autopilot.
As has been often studied, the major problem for autonomous systems is that until they are better than humans WITHOUT human intervention, the result can be worse than both. People are much less likely to pay full attention and have the same reaction times if the autonomous system is in full control the majority of the time.

Thanks for the detailed summary. I was going to play this next but I’ll continue to be a PatientGamer until this is released and I get the best gameplay possible.

I agree; however, the second point I don't see as Signal specific. In any service, how do you verify that a server is running unmodified open source code? For the vast majority of people, they are also depending upon the client being unmodified.

I just finished Red Dead Redemption 2. No game has ever moved me like it did. It’s been hard to start another game since almost nothing can compare.

Some posts and comments doesn't sync to other instances.
I have seen similar issues with lemmy.ml communities from another instance. I believe the cause is server overload at lemmy.ml. Looking at the Lemmy source, if another instance fails to receive a post, it will be retried in 6 seconds, then 1 hour, and finally, 2.5 days. With the great Reddit migration, expect delays in federation until things settle down.

Accidentally blocked a sub
This looks like a bug. If you can find a link to a post in the community, you can unblock it from the post.
Found a solution, see next comment.

Yes, it's not ideal. Decentralized key distribution seems to be a intractable problem for mass adoption.

Planning on building a PC, anything I should know?
Depending on your use case (gaming, productivity, media creation, etc), RAM speed can have a big impact on performance. For higher end CPU's and GPU's, good cooling and airflow are paramount to get the best performance.

Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted
I was surprised to read that if Reddit had cut their ask in half, that would have workable for Christian. I expected that it would have taken an order of magnitude decrease to make financial sense. It really drives home just how unreasonable Reddit is and how dead set they are to kill all 3rd party apps.
