You forgot to add unwillingly, but otherwise correct


You're saying that within 5 years the illness will become terminal.


>Remember Russia has been the undisputed world champion of dezinformatsiya for centuries

My friend, you seem to have mispelled United States of America


Sure, correlates nicely (NOT) with the Russians having a word for it before it appeared in French or English [0]

Russians had leading rocket science for years. They don’t now, and can barely assemble a rocket that works. Why is that? Does that loss of capability apply to other fields too?


So if you were the first to invent misinformation, you would immediately add it to your local language to make that fact public? Doesn't make sense. You'd rather make up some newspeak code name. It's more plausible that Russians made the word to describe what their worst enemy (USA) was doing, so they could be aware of it and counter.


Delayed Auto Shift. In NES tetris the rate is 10 moves per second, so to beat it in speed you have to press on the dpad at more than 10Hz.


You have always been able to hide the like/dislike count on your published videos.

Let's not be stupid about this. The only people benefitting from this change are the shady ones.


They do it so the likes can be displayed while hiding the dislikes. This encourages controversial videos, which is good for youtube since "all engagement is good engagement".


Controversial videos aren't necessarily shady.


Yesterday I could leave a dissenting comment and publicly vote down the content. Today I can leave a dissenting comment. Tomorrow... ?

Kinda saddened by the fact that tpfancontrol is still a must have in 2021. I believe it became mandatory for me when I upgraded my old W520 from win7 to 10, as the newer OS didn't properly manage fan speeds (the minimum speed was way too high, the maximum speed was never triggered).

I haven't used windows on that laptop in years (and it doesn't get much use anymore, although it still works flawlessly!), reckoned they'd have fixed this by now.


They expect you to comply, or be left out.


Triage is what happens when you first look at a new ticket and decide what to do with it, any encounter/interaction after that is not a triage.

If maintainers feel like they need to close tickets only to keep order, than that's a problem with the tooling: tickets should only be closed if they're malformed, solved, or (arguably) wontfix.

Oh, yes. Yes it is!

I think you were downvoted because the first part of your answer is wrong, but this one hits right on the mark.


I've always interpreted "triage" as the first response whenever something comes up (paralleling the medical term were it's from), is that not how it is?


Priority is a constantly moving slide.


Yes, it was engineered to be this way intentionally, through unregulated competition rules and systematic killing of any open alternative by way of massive pumping of capital.

We live in a disgusting scenario, we're held hostage by a racket.
