The problem was named after an incident in 1996 in which AOL's profanity filter prevented residents of the town of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, England, from creating accounts with AOL, because the town's name contains the substring "cunt".

haha

those are terms, this is substrings within words

I haven't seen branches or variables being called arse

Then again, I do like to catch exceptions as up so I can throw up

Simple changes require only simple reviews.

Responsibility is shared. It's not one or the other.

Many people don't know what they're doing. That's kind of expected. But a tool provider and seller should know what they're doing. Enabling people to behave in a negative way should be questioned. Maybe it's a consequence of enablement, or maybe it's bad design or marketing. Where criticism is certainly warranted.

Commit with Co-authored-by: Copilot

or maybe better --author=Copilot

It would certainly help evaluate submissions to have that context

they want to push a lot of buttons on those controls

LOL


Even with a lot of buttons available, good videogame controls are simple and narrow. Natural combinations add depth without overcomplicating things.

It's a systematic multi-layered problem.

The simplest, least effort thing that could have prevented the scale of issues is not automatically installing updates, but waiting four days and triggering it afterwards if no issues.

Automatically forwarding updates is also forwarding risk. The higher the impact area, the more worth it safe-guards are.

Testing/Staging or partial successive rollouts could have also mitigated a large number of issues, but requires more investment.
