That’s not even the best part. The best part is that some games will take screenshots automatically, by default. Some of the photos were then also uploaded automatically to Xbox cloud. Their automated system then banned players for sharing “prohibited” content.

Recently this happened with Baldur’s Gate 3.

Ukraine still kicking ass, too

I'm curious to understand how Google defines "malicious apps" that they're using as the justification for this.

Conceivably, google revoking a certificate will mean an app installed outside of google play, will stop working for users.

How do they feel about celebrite? And the other companies that violate user privacy as their sole reason for existing. Will they still get "permission" for their apps? Seems like a great way to protect users by not issuing one to them...

I think it's kind of a chicken-and-egg problem. Hopefully the community existing and having regular posts increases the odds of user interaction like comments and votes, which would naturally lead to more and more posts from actual members. Hopefully whoever is running that bot can wind it down while actual engagement ramps up.

I had family in town visiting a while back. They brought their RV and were staying at a nice park by a lake. While there I decided to walk my dog down one of the paths to the lake. When we reached the edge of the water we stood there for a second and he started sniffing around. For whatever reason, I thought, "this would be a great place for a snake to be right now". As I completed the thought I looked towards my dog and about 2 feet in front of him, where the bank met the water was a fairly large water moccasin. I locked the leash and pulled my dog back to me and then left. It was very surreal. If I had waited another 10 seconds I'm sure my dog would have ended up being bitten.

Bluesky is weird to me. I tried to use it for all of 15 minutes. One of the recommended feeds was called "Blacksky", which is a feed specifically tailored for black users of Bluesky. I'm perfectly fine with that. I was, completely innocently, asking if there were other feeds based on race, similar to blacksky. I was threatened with a ban for racism. My question was very literally phrased "I see that blacksky exists, does the platform also have other race-specific feeds for users? Or only this one? It's the only one that was recommended to me which seems strange for a new user."

Hey now!

He’d be great at picking up those plastic beads that come in body and face wash products.
