if you’re not community banned you might still be instance banned on the community instance, which wouldn’t show up in your local instances modlog if the ban happened on a <0.19.4 instance. if the methods pointed out by other comments here fail I suggest you visit the instance of the community and check the site modlog there, searching for your user.

i suspect you’re referring to your post to a lemmy.ml community and you have indeed been instance banned there for a limited amount of time.

I have a large library of games I’ve never played on stream. a couple months back I wanted to play a game I had installed a while ago and guess what, forced always online. not from steam, but from the shitty team behind doom (don’t remember which version it was), which just happened to be at the time I had a multi hour internet outage.
afterwards I figured out I had to explicitly block some network traffic to stop it from trying to force me to sign up for an account with the developer.

while steam certainly has DRM options, they are configurable by developers and afaik can’t enforce an always online requirement with just steam, only though custom logic in the game or third party DRM. developers are also free to not use steam DRM.

DRM, as usual, harms the legitimate buyers.

that being said, steam still does bring a lot of value, such as their hardware developments, their work on better Linux gaming support, the update distribution through a trusted source, and various others.

you’re not getting banned from steam, you’re generally getting banned from participating in anti cheat secured lobbies of a single game or a group of games.

single player experience is generally not affected.

having a 3 strike system before getting banned from multiplayer just means it’s 66% cheaper for a cheater to get a new copy of the game.

this is also not new and has been the case for the current family sharing system as well.

here’s also some more context and explanation about what’s going on:

no, they’re getting a lot of downvotes because it’s spam.

they’re not interested in legitimate discussion, they only need to promote the spam links at the end of the post.

it sure is possible, but not with the amount of work anyone would be willing to put into it.

i don’t want to go to all that effort

nearly all talks are either in English or have English translations. not sure if they’re available on YouTube but you should be able to find everything on https://media.ccc.de

you can just turn it off, see https://help.kagi.com/kagi/settings/general.html

for our admin team, we’re using a bot to message a matrix room when content is reported and reacting to the message when it’s been handled.

this could be done pretty much the same way on mod level, though this is certainly not easily accessible to everyone due to the hosting involved.

and all of this is only relevant if you even receive reports about content in the first place. if you moderate a community on another instance, tough luck unfortunately, as they currently do not federate.

edit: typos

based on https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/deve2819c518 it seems like users may need to explicitly enable sharing crash data with app developers.

I don’t know what the default for this is.

https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev9a80ab71d seems to imply that you need to distribute your app via app store or testflight to be able to receive crash reports.
the majority of apps installed on my mac are not installed via app store, though many of them have app store variants.
i don’t know if the distribution channel matters or just having the app in app store is enough.
this article however also explicitly states this, so it appears that you do indeed by default not send this data to app developers:

users who download your app from the App Store will need to agree to share crash and usage data with developers.

I’m pretty sure this only goes to Apple, not to the actual developer.

I believe I’ve even seen devs specifically ask for copies of the reports from the crash reporter, as they wouldn’t receive them otherwise.

this doesn’t change the rest of your statement though, just afaik the recipient is different.

ah, you’re a project manager

if you’re renaming from File.js to file.ts, which is also changing suffixes instead of just capitalization, then that couldn’t be explained by case sensitivity, unless it was a typo and you meant File.js to file.js

I’ve been using case insensitive fs on macOS for years and the only software having issues with this is onedrive.

can’t say i’m surprised.

indeed, original source is the wrong term, but at least it’s an english derivation of it, which was only copied by the link in this post

it is indeed somewhat attributed, but it still very much looks like scraped content.

a very strong indicator is the inclusion of

at the end, which on cointelegraph’s page is separate from the content and provides a sign-up form.

why is this a blog spam article badly copied from the original source at https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/china-dev-fined-salary-vpn-10m-ecny-airdrop-asia-express/ ?

I didn’t say there were no use cases for this, but the average phone user will not need it. someone using samba on their phone would likely be capable of switching the network config to not randomize every time.

for a device without inbound connectors and no ip based lan firewall rules, which applies to most phones, random per connection macs seem like a pretty good default for privacy.

some networks doing “unusual” things like hotel wifi limiting you to few devices (implemented by mac counting) may be thrown off though.
