Released a week ago? Aren't IMDB ratings high in the first few weeks/months too, because of screenings/film festivals/devout followers etc?

Talk about hyperbole


For an established IP that can happen, yes. Further context about this one is that it's new IP and the first game from a studio that doesn't even have a Wikipedia page yet.


I've tried this recently and I found it very difficult. Cloudflare bot protection is everywhere, other anti-scrape protections, many 'document' sites using JS to render with no fallback, basic forms requiring JS, authentication requiring JS, payments requiring JS etc

Not intending to sound snarky but do you just not use the web much? Or if you're adding allows all the time, what's the net gain?


I use the web fairly constantly and yeah, if I am visiting a new site and I want to see the content there's a 50/50 chance I have to press a button in noscript (like 2-3 clicks) - but when you setup your initial set (usually takes me about a week) you'd be surprised how few net new properties you set in a week - maybe 100 or less?

I also set temporary permissions for any site I dont think I will be spending a lot of time on because they might change what's running and I dont have any trust or insight into their process - so I might authorize that site 3-4x a year sometimes before I say it can stay.


Does that confirm that a fine payment was made?


I do not think it says.


Not universally

> Placement of the sign varies. Countries have generally continued the style used for their former currencies. In those countries where previous convention was to place the currency sign before the figure, the euro sign is placed in the same position (e.g., €3.50).[7] In those countries where the amount preceded the national currency sign, the euro sign is again placed in that relative position (e.g., 3,50 €).

> In English, the euro sign – like the dollar sign ⟨$⟩ and the pound sign ⟨£⟩ – is usually placed before the figure, unspaced,[8] the reverse of usage in many other European languages

> The European Union's Interinstitutional Style Guide (for EU staff) states that the euro sign should be placed in front of the amount without any space in English, but after the amount in most other languages

Indeed. Microservice zealot 'architects' love to ignore the work that has to into each microservice and the overhead of collaboration between services. They'll spend a couple of years pretending to work on that problem in any meaningful way, then move on to a different company to cause similar chaos


Don't get me started on eco! Now with heat pump dryers barely heating to 45c only your washing machine can do the job now. And you need a specific function to hold a higher temperature as back in the olden days.

The 90c cycle is the only one I fully trust to get proper hot but I can't wash everything at 90


It really has. I had to disable the GitHub plugin to get rid of a PR comment box that wouldn't disappear.

Junit test runs say No tests available about 50% of the time

It feels slower and slower

Today I started getting "unable to save settings" or something, no idea what that is about

It really shows that they're distracted from quality. My guess is with the breadth of features and quite amazing attention to detail, they needed 100% dedication to those efforts, and now a chunk of the company is doing something else, and now the product is falling apart

But hey we have a totally new console engine or something so that's really nice (I've personally never used the console ...)


Neither of you wish to link to what you're referencing?


No thanks. I'm not sending money and traffic to Yandex. I'm going to give Qwant a go (French company, headquartered in Paris)


And according to the link below, the Kagi founder/CEO claims Yandex is a private company headquartered in Kazakhstan, unrelated to the Russian government.

Yes and (for posterity / those lazy to read the linked Mastodon thread), if you read through the linked thread, you see that is nonsense and Yandex is very much a Russian business continually adjusting results based on Russian government input (to cross-check, see Wikipedia on Yandex).
