Selecting your own mute words for your timeline is the best part about Twitter. The algorithm changes have been pretty bad in the last few weeks though.
FYI the “mute by keyword” feature exists both on Bluesky and Mastodon and I use it extensively. I don’t use Threads but a quick search tells me it’s available there too.
Now you know, and you don’t need to use twitter anymore!
I don't know how this blocking works. A couple minutes ago I could access this link but now I can't. It's happening with another website too. It's like an intermittent blocking today.

So, fun fact about earth: there are lots of people on it, and some of those people aren't you, and some of those people who aren't you actually have desires that are different from yours.
I think it makes the planet a pretty fun and interesting place, but it also does mean generalizing from "I don't want this" (totally fine! Awesome! Makes sense!) to "no one wants this" is usually not very productive.
IntelliCode has 60M downloads and is the 11th most downloaded extension for all of VS Code. Also consider that there's 6 official Python-related extensions above it that could all be rolled into one, and Copilot just above it which (to my knowledge) is installed by default in newer versions of VS Code.
Just because it doesn't affect you personally doesn't mean it affects no one. You aren't in fact the centre of the universe.
I'm guessing that's 60 million people that don't have a small child that can just type stuff that looks kind of like code but doesn't actually work like code.
I was about to comment to say that unless Valve is prepared to invest significant effort into an x86 -> ARM translation layer that's not going to happen but a quick search for "linux x86 to arm translation" led me to an XDA article[1] proving me wrong. The recently announced Steam Frame runs on ARM and can run x86 games directly using using something called FEX.
Now we just need to be as good as (or better than) Apple's Rosetta.
Apple Silicon actually has microarchitectural quirks implementing certain x86-isms in hardware for Rosetta 2 to use. I doubt any other ARM SoC would do such a thing, so I doubt third-party translation will ever get quite as efficient.
They are. You're mad that Valve isn't militantly enforcing Linux-native games, which is nonsense. The OG Steam Machine did that and was DOA.
Thousands of game studios are gone now, and supporting their software is important legacy work. You don't have to appreciate that, but I do. I do not give the faintest fuck about the opportunity cost you bemoan towards native UNIX games when I do this. That's your problem, not mine.
I have seen VR headsets trying to break any significant market share since 1994, they have never been anything other than a niche, with customers having too much money to throw around.
Are you claiming there is a EU-wide firewall that EU could use (not the countries themselves) to block arbitrary websites? The EU hate on HN is reaching conspiracy-type levels now it seems.
RT.com, Sputnik News, etc. are blocked by the EU and the EU countries have to obey it, they have no say in this. This was done by Von der Leyen without any parliamentary oversight. It doesn't matter what your view on these sites is, it was a dangerous precedent. It also affects the TV stations.
I like it and I don't use it at all for politics.
