The thing is the missing comments are all in English, and they affect entire posts and not just certain commenters so it probably isn't related to the language setting for individual comments, otherwise only certain comments would be missing and not the whole thread. Plus I already have all languages enabled. As a test I also found one commenter from an empty thread and viewed other posts they commented on and both their comment and everyone else's showed up. If it was related to people marking their comments wrong I would expect it to affect their comments on other threads too.

My retirement account has roughly doubled between Dec 2021 and now, I basically only invest in mutual funds and ETFs with a medium risk, low fees, and high return according to Morningstar ratings (I'm not sure how reliable those metrics are but it's what shows up when browsing funds on fidelity and it seems to be picking good options so far)

I also canceled my subscription because it's been months and half of the posts with comments still show no comments forcing me to open every post in Firefox just to read the comments. Seems like too many bugs that leave the app unusable are being ignored.

I don't even make decaf espresso after noon-ish.

Not sure about Facebook since authenticating for private videos is a hurdle, but for my partner who uses a mac I downloaded open video downloader which is just a foss GUI for ytdl, it also keeps ytdl up to date which is a requirement for me since I don't want to be called when it stops working. I think on windows you have to manually install msvc2010redist but besides that it seems to just work out of the box.

I used to have a lot of apps back then that would use them as advertisement banners, it was really annoying. I forget when it happened but I've been using Android since honeycomb so I've seen a lot

I'm hoping and assuming that apps would need to ask for permission to use this, lest this turn into every app fighting to push their own dynamic island notification to the top bar, just like how back then every app wanted to have its own persistent notification and also that time when every app provided minor status updates using global toasts that didn't specify which app created it, so you could be doing something in a completely different app and you'd get a completely random and unattributed toast with some vague message like "connection failed" with no way outside of third party apps to figure out which app sent it. /rant

Wait you can train the Futo keyboard? I tried it a while ago and noticed the poor accuracy and decided to shelve it for a while.

Don't wp updates and plugins only come from one of the 2? Anyway I'm pretty sure they're just mad that wpengine uses bandwidth from the wp update infrastructure without paying instead of hosting their own update infrastructure, which basically means that selfhosters / individuals are not the target. That said it still sounds like the dude is being hella petty about it.

I think this whole spat is about wordpress.com not .org

Gotcha, that sounds like searx is a good option then. At first I thought you were giving a reason why searx isn't a suitable alternative as the gp comment is downvoted a bunch.

Can't you just not enable the Yandex backend if you're selfhosting searx?
