Web sockets are meant for applications where it's important that you receive updates fast in a push fashion. E.g. collaborative editors like Google docs or a chat application. To scroll Lemmy or open a specific Lemmy post you don't need that at all. You can just fetch the data once and have users refresh manually if for example they want to fetch the latest comments on a post. Using websockets for that type of application just puts unnecessary strain on the server.

I'm not sure exactly what in the photo is the wear is you're referring to. I'd say if it plays fine you're fine.

To everyone who is saying they use adblock and haven't seen this yet: YouTube probably rolled this out to a smaller percentage of users first. It allows them to understand how this change impacts user behaviour, e.g. how many users comply and disable their adblocker, how many more users close YouTube than usual etc. Most tech companies do this type of analysis before releasing a high impact change to all users.

I selected multiple languages and am sometimes having trouble posting comments from apps (Liftoff and Wefwef) as they don't give the option to select a language... When I submit the comment I get an error message telling me to select a language. It doesn't happen all the time though. For instance this comment was written on Liftoff.

Interesting finding from Microsoft that it leads to fewer user errors, thanks for sharing!

Buy BattleBit Remastered instead it's the same price but looks like loads more fun.
