X4? Its on steam but for the rest, maybe? (Or previous iterations)

Pretty confident the planet will be fine, maybe it'll take 10 million years but it'll thrive again, in some form.

What we are dooming is humanity, and honestly at this point it seems like we deserve what's coming.

For me, there are 2 specific things that annoy me to no end with it. 1 is my guilty pleasure, I love watching hour long videos from Asian channels where they just film restaurants or bakeries making food in large batches. Honestly, youtube seems to actively remove them from my feed. I have to search for them every 2 weeks despite watching this content at least weekly. The second is the opposite. At Christmas I searched for a video of a fireplace with music to put on as ambient background for dinner. My feed is chock full of 8+ hour music playlists now despite never having looked at another one. It's been 4 months.

I don't know what it is but i swear they have content they like showing you and content they dont like. If you want the former your experience will be OK. If you want the latter then they just decide you're wrong and still get the former.

Yeah the YouTube algorithm is one of the worst recommendations engines I have seen tbh. It actively removes types of videos I repeatedly search for from my recommendations, and fills it with garbage I never watch.

But in the case of op it looks like a 100% horny content ratio which seems excessive, even for yt.

Mine isn't like that but there can be a few reasons I'd guess at:

1. YouTube recommends you things other people in your household watch (which can extend to random people if your isp uses cnat and doesn't give you an individual ip).
2. This one is more of a guess, but I'd assume a lot of people would click on that content, so if you never watch shorts maybe their algorithm just gives you the default recommendations.
3. If you watch adult content without protecting your privacy it's most likely associated with your account in their recommendations.

Agree that it's misleading, but to add there is another significant concern given how glassdoor is already "pay to win" from the companies perspective: they could just offer identifying the users as a paid service.

It would be digging their own grave if that starts happening, but that doesn't seem to be stopping many companies..

Haven't had any experience with eweka, but this is the reason why people tend to have multiple providers from different backbones and multiple indexers - to increase your chance for completion. Weirdly, eweka does not follow DMCA, but NTD which I've seen regarded as slower to take down content, so in theory the experience should be better, especially on fresh content.

Your mileage will vary greatly depending on what indexers/providers you pick and unfortunately it's very difficult to say whether it will reach your expectations until you try different options.

If you're willing to spend some more on it, you could try just looking for a small and cheap block account from a different backbone to see if it helps with the missing articles, but there are no guarantees.

Some are very easy depending on how the game works (at least on android). E.g. when pokemon go came out you could just go to developer settings (in android settings) and change your location to wherever you wanted.

Another super easy one is changing the time to get around timegated games.

So sweet baby Inc (who I never knew of until now) felt attacked by a list on steam which collected titles they worked on (it didn't say avoid apparently, just a list of titles they worked on with proof from their own media).

Kind of telling of the company that they saw this as an offense to them rather than as a tribute. If they thought their work was good they'd advertise this list themselves.

Also, way to dig a grave.

No worries!

I can empathise somewhat, I have burned myself out with work before. I have given myself anxiety by procrastinating my work and then spending time thinking about all the things I need to do and how I won't have the time instead of just doing it.. To the point that I struggled to sleep, which just made me even less productive. It's all a downward spiral, unfortunately.

I hope you get your life on the track you want it to be on!

I obviously don't know your situation, but just remember you can't take care of others unless you take care of yourself first - you should not be overworked either.

Great point about being aware of the strengths and weaknesses in the team!

Personally, I've had an experienced manager and took great inspiration from him.

A few things I fell into:

• it was a lot faster for me (I.e. experienced senior dev with context knowledge) to finish a task than for me to assign it to someone less experienced who has to learn the context and takes 5x as long to do it, with lots of help needed from me still. This yielded me not building up my team either in experience or knowledge.
• I assumed deadlines I got told were set in stone and my job was to meet them. This made business-y people happy. It made everyone else (including me) miserable. I had to learn to say no and push back, it very much changes between companies but most of the time I found it to be a negotiation and either the deadline could move or I had to argue to exclude things from the scope to make the deadline reasonable.
• on the above, everything takes at least 3-5x as long as I think it takes. If things finish early, great time to give my team some slack, add in additional QA work like extending tests or repay some tech debt. Delivering something early gives a pat on the back for us but no discernible benefit to the team.
• every time someone said "you'll have time to write tests/repay tech debt/upskill later once X is shipped" it never came true. Those things have to be built into delivery scopes, and it's a constant battle - if you don't do this, nobody else will.

I'm sure there were other things too, but these are the ones I mainly recall. Talk to your team, ask for feedback. Every team, project and company are different - you'll have to adapt.
