Any bot that doesn't actually use lemmy's "I'm a bot" protocol (so I can hide it completely) gets downvoted. It's the only thing I even bother downvoting on Lemmy.

Well, there's an oddly existential argument to be made that "funny" AI answers like this or adding a pot of Elmer's Glue to pizza sauce to get the cheese to stick are valued. Simply because those are the posts I've seen from Google AI, and I've never touched the feature myself.
By letting a language "speaker" learn from Reddit and forums, we created an approximation of "that guy who thinks he's a comedian" because that guy is always there and always drowns in upvotes. Clearly, he's a valuable part of the discourse!
If there's a personal information field, filling it with random noise is marginally better than leaving it blank. The pronouns field is new but I've noticed a lot of women friends (that have gender neutral usernames and profile pics, and no linked social media) opting to not use it or set it to he/him because having it filled out accurately caused trolls and bots and incels to fill their DMs.
The equivalents for Android, precompiled ReVanced APKs, are commonly used to spread malware. Following the instructions to patch the app yourself isn't hard. Google taking down precompiled modded versions of YouTube but leaving patches and the the tools anybody can use to apply them is a neutral thing at worst.
Also I don't see anyone in this thread glad that Google did this, aside from the first half of the joke / fakeout / pun post about IPA beer.
I use Paxmod instead. It supports multi-row tabs like old Tab Mix Plus.

There. Instead of a useless blogspam "article", here's a link to the game.
I've seen them in the wild, I live in the bay area. They look worse than in the pictures. The brushed steel catches every speck of dirt and oil. It's like they're driving a damn crock-pot.
Baldur's Gate 3. Boring answer but it's just very goddamn good.
I thought RAID1 enabled faster reads too, because both drives have the complete file. Writes don't get a speed bump ofc, since those are still bottlenecked by the slowest single drive in the array
On the flip side, I've been using FX file explorer for this for years with no issues, but my roommate on the latest iPhone (a year ago) encountered a pretty horrific oversight in the default Files app's way to handle this (and no option to use third party apps).
Whenever she tried to copy more than 2GB from the network drive to the phone via Files, the phone would completely lock up and freeze (and stop transferring, which I confirmed by looking at read operations on the home server). She had to hard reboot and copy the files over multiple operations instead of just queuing up 50GB of audiobooks once and letting it transfer in the background. It turns out the Files app handles network assets by loading them all into RAM and then writing them to the iPhone's NAND, and if you try to perform an operation that takes more than the phone's current available RAM it just does the Apple equivalent of a bluescreen.
It's not a block on these sites, it's there to prevent porn and piracy sites from showing up in the "suggested" page that every privacy conscious user already turned off completely.
Nintendo's stuff is free on day 1, or a few years after release if it's their Wii U stuff. I think the first Wii took a year before the Twilight Hack happened.
Let's hope they fuck up again on the Switch 2!
