pls do. that could be a very amusing read :happy:

Hey, hey... I'm serious... I could probably think of a few things that you don't even want to admit yourself... Things you keep tucked away in your subconscious... Scary, evil things. I'm not saying that I could write a book on how to become a mod in 3 easy steps, but I could at least give some common sense to people who don't have it. For example - here's one you'd probably agree on:

If you ever just straight up ask to be a mod, how to be a mod, how to submit your application to become a mod or anything that falls within that category, then you will not be one. Ever. Period. Not neccesarily because you asked that question (after all we were all n00bs at some point), but the fact is that if you have to ask - you're not gonna be a mod.

I am sure a lot of people on Neowin.net would want to be moderators, but you all think how much work it takes with it? I came here to enjoy the community not to be a moderator. I will of course except when they would ask me but the only reason I am here is so that I can talk to fellow internet surfers and share my knowledge. :)

Enjoy the community,

Haha... Are you kidding? Cara spammed the OWSG like a mad-man (make that mad-woman) back when it wasn't post count locked. She became a mod. :p

Now, now, now, only for the first few days of my being a Neowin Member...that thread was Addictive! ;)

BTW, the best way to NOT become a Mod is to post in a "How do I become a Mod" thread. ;)

they pick whom they think will do a good job in the position. it helps if you offer money, sex, cars, houses, money, vacation hideaways, money, bitchin computers, money...

i think it also helps if you stop asking to be a mod. your naughty bits will shrink to nothing if you keep bugging them.

asking how to become a mod already should disqualify you. it shows that all you are interested in is power, and not being a good member of a comunity.

I have a long list of people I'd like banned. Where do I apply to be a mod?

p.s. I love replying to MxxCon just because I can undo his courier font. Woo hoo! I've tasted power and I want more!

I've always fought against evil and I've always won.

Oh noes, my bits, my bits...

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
