There’s an add-on to help find the people you followed on Twitter on Bluesky, FYI.

I’ll field this one.

Why would a man whose shirt says “Genius at Work” spend all of his time watching a children’s cartoon show?

I’ve had the odd stability issue every now and then. (There was one ongoing issue with my wifi that was caused by a bug in my manufacturer’s driver, but that was years ago on Windows 10, and they eventually fixed it.) But I honestly haven’t had any issues caused specifically by Microsoft recently that I can recall.

Any problems caused by major features updates are usually solved by simply reinstalling the driver. (And I haven’t had any of those sorts of problems in at least a couple years.)

For me, it’s not that Windows updates my drivers during a big update. It’s simply that Windows broke the driver while installing a big update.

I’ve had it happen where my Wi-Fi driver broke so it could only connect to an unprotected network. So I’d simply setup my phone as a hotspot and download the Wi-Fi driver from the manufacturer’s website and reinstall it. That’d immediately fix the issue. Though, actually, that issue hasn’t occured in years. The last time it happened, I think, was in the early years of Windows 10.

My understanding (unless they’ve changed it) was that a restart is a restart because software (either the OS or 3rd party software or both) may need the computer restarted to finish installing or updating stuff.

I’d heard that a shutdown wasn’t actually a shutdown, though.

and I got one at least once a month.

According to this post, that’s the monthly update Microsoft releases.

It’s worth noting that the saved pages are the only thing that are back for now. Their other services have not yet been brought back online.

Wait, you mean that guy who stood in front of the Waymo car?

Good thing I don’t use Tabs.

Insurance wasn’t involved when it came time to pay for the surgery. By then, they’d already denied the claim and the appeal, so they were paying completely out of pocket for the surgery.

Had surgery to correct an underbite a few years ago after prepping for it with braces for years. For context, I was still young enough to be on my parents’ insurance. The surgery involved moving my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back because the underbite was so severe. The insurance denied the claim. My parents (I love them so much for this) decided beforehand that, if the claim and the appeal were denied, they would instead “gift” me the money out of their own retirement savings and have me pay for it. The procedure alone cost, I believe, $16k out of pocket. (I don’t remember the specific reason why they gifted me the money instead of paying for it outright.)

In the US, you typically have to type in your debit/ credit card’s info (the 16-digit number, the 3-digit security code, the cardholder’s name, and the billing address on file with the bank) on a website in order to purchase something unless you’re using PayPal, Google Pay, or something similar to that that the website supports. If you’re using any of those, a pop-up usually opens asking for login info, then you select a card or bank account to use for the purchase.

Something something Doctor Who Cybermen.

IIRC, they’ve said they’ll implement V3 to maintain compatibility, but they’ll also continue to maintain V2. You, the extension developer, will not be forced to use V3 if you don’t want to.

Unfortunately, nobody’s gonna switch just because one person left unless it’s a big influencer (which I am not). It’d take multiple people collectively leaving, and that’s not gonna happen without something big. Fortunately, Twitter’s current owner is, well… he’ll likely cause that “something big” all on his own. Like how Reddit’s API thing caused Lemmy to grow in size overnight.

When it does happen, I’ve already got accounts setup on a couple different places from the last time I thought the Great Twitter Exodus was finally happening.

Thinking on it more, I do remember the game pausing to load whenever I dove quickly into the depths.

Zelda is fair, I’ve heard good things about it.

Breath of the Wild actually had quite a lot of frame drops in the Lost Woods. I remember it was a topic of discussion for a while.

I don’t remember for sure if Tears of the Kingdom suffered from the same issues or not.

Did it start happening when they switched the port to 64-bit?

Then have two options: block and mute. With mute, users won’t know you’ve muted them, as you’ve described. With mute, the user would not be able to see your posts.

I wish this were true for me, but many of the voice actors and content creators I pay attention to have yet to move elsewhere.
