This is super infuriating. I wish there was a way to offshore the effort and work needed to toggle each option off to the culprit website. Perhaps when website A presents you with such hostile prompts, take their contact email, and subscribe it with automation to each of the vendors. I'm just too tired of this shit.

"I'm building the foundation to course correct individuals and reintegrate them into society".

Every VP building the most cancerous product will think they are making the world a better place. It's just a matter of perspective.

The real test would have been to use some software that the author uses frequently, and see if there's any decrease in speed when removing all the icons. I'm pretty sure, even when not pleasant, they work as heavy visual cues to find the item quicker.

Icons are also very useful if you're trying to use software in a language that you're learning, becoming the common language bridge.

Yesterday twitter feed was showing me all sorts of people executing this idea fully end to end: creating endless stream of content, selling whatever product or idea, presented as fully human content. Of course with fake AI people, engaging in content to make it look real, and using hooks or sexualized content to make it grab more attention.

Im unsure what the final outcome out of this is, but it makes me sad that we're about to see an explosion of fake content on the internet indistinguishable from real people so soon, if not already, for pure profit, where everything is allowed.

The game is ported to switch, and it does run slow when you do big combos. You can feel it visually to the point that it's a bit annoying.

What's the general recommendation for when this is the case?

Radical acceptance with savoring the moment itself works for me but it's definitely a Sisyphean (to stick with the ancient Greeks) endeavor to keep up.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for the service you provide. itch.io is unvaluable to the indie community, and I'm perplexed when I see some devs complain about issues like this. Thabks for all your work.

This just reminded me that the GeForce Experience (which is recommended to use the recording functions, and keep updating the drivers), requires an account. And the software is unable to keep your account logged in. It's outrageous to pay so much for a graphics card to later have this experience.

The NVIDIA App (beta), which, as I understand it, combines the GeForce Experience and the Control Panel doesn't require the login (for now?): https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/

When I'm on my phone and a website shows the ads popup, I open it in Brave, which just blocks everything. That's the current implementation of "do not track" settings.

What I always find funny about this, is that the popup is presented with "We value your privacy", followed by "allow us to share data with >500 partners".

I wished that such statements had some value greater than nil.

but they DO put a measurable value on your privacy

Put another way, they monetize the erosion of your privacy.
