We used to rent movies every weekend when I was a kid, and we supported our local video rental store instead of Blockbuster. It was so much fun to decide what to rent! The staff there always knew so much about movies too, and we'd follow their recs often. We watched a bunch of classics and silent films that there's no way would get visibility on streaming libraries today. I wish I'd kept a journal of all the movies we watched, I remember almost no titles now.
People used to use this attack in League of Legends a decade ago. If they're losing, they guess someone might have Skype open; and moreover, that their Skype is the same as their summoner name. Then they get an ip address and ddos the entire lobby, causing the game to crash (I think it happened in one of my games maybe once, but I didn't really play ranked other than team ranked).
Also, since all pro & semipro players had each other added, this was possible to do at any time during online tournaments (which was most tournaments - TSM invitational etc). So there were always rules that ddossing was disallowed. But it did happen.
Known ddossers were more hated in the community than known flamers, but a few people who did it "reformed" and went on to be pro players anyway.

It was a way to view multiple lists at once, your home feed, various accounts, hashtags, your mentions, notifications, DMs, etc. Super useful. I stopped using Twitter altogether when they updated it earlier this year and made it significantly clunkier UX + promised to make it paid.
sorry, I X'd out of twitter before X X'd twitter, so I can't actually X about Twitter or X on X,
TL;DW:
- Why is the EPA of all government orgs involved in this? A: Because the claim by John Deere was that you can't repair your own shit due to "emissions concerns."
- Okay so what did the EPA do? A: Read this article which is what he reads out loud in the video
- Will this actually do anything? A: Shrug emoji
isn't it pretty hard to determine if it's worthwhile if they aren't going all-in on making it an interesting place with breaking news & accounts for certain types of news etc?
A little harsh on /kbin given that it's been released for less than two months and the author doesn't even mention this. Otherwise seems reasonable.
Keep in mind that it's in a particular context. It seems a bit ridiculous as a headline, but if they were actively using the branding, it might not seem so ridiculous: imagine Facebook (I will not call them Meta) is already operating a social media site for posting short thoughts called X with the TLD social (hypothetically). And they've been operating it as X
for 10 years. Then Elon does this. Clearly Facebook has a suit because that's straight-up infringement.
This is a little more hazy because Facebook isn't actively using their X trademark, and it's not exactly the same as Twitter. But they do hold the rights to it (as far as I can tell from the one tweet (xeet?) about it). And it's not (quite) as ridiculous as it sounds.
Also,
Twitter auto-replied to Insider's request for comment with a message saying that the communications department would get back to us soon.
Is this a euphemism for the poop emoji??
Sorry, why would you not see what your competitors' products look like? Why is this a headline???
For anyone who was confused by what "vote to propose" means:
