Adding four random digits to people's names was a brilliant solution to two common problems with usernames (users wanting the same username and usernames of notable personalities getting leaked), and now they're just going to the exact same system everyone else uses with all of its attendant problems? Fuck off
dae member when videos used to buffer all the way to the end if you just left it on pause? didn't matter if you had shitty dial-up internet, you could buffer anything and watch it all without interruption if you were patient enough.
and then (for bandwidth reasons) they made it so all video players just buffered a handful of seconds ahead of where you were at, meaning if your download rate was lower than the bitrate of the video, then fuck you, you're watching this as a slideshow
with all the insistence on algorithms and machine-learning and predicting everyone's next intrusive thought or quantum position, you would have thought they'd have figured out dynamic buffering or something, where videos only buffer a little initially, then once it figured out you were trying to watch the whole video it would go ahead and buffer the rest.
