Yeah and it seems to be accelerating. I noticed just this week how multiple companies had “We’re also updating on Bluesky now, here’s our official acount:”-posts.

I mean it makes sense to target these people. If you’re stupid enough to believe the shit Musk or Trump spout, you’re also stupid enough to not see these very obvious scams.

After my GPS 3 Ultra, never buying MobVoi again, ugh.

Such a sad experience. Started out well, got updates 2-3 years later after apps stopped working due to the old OS version, and then those updates broke the entire experience.

The hardware is really nice. The software is so bad that I go out with a Wundr watch half the time now. A mechanical watch. Yes. Because fuck Mobvoi and their way of making you appreciate non-smart watches.

Biden would give away Florida to Castro as part of his love for communism

I love how utterly deranged republican shit is in the US, and seemingly there are people so braindamaged they take it serious. 😂 Really goes to show how much worse things could be in many countries. At leasy they’re not the US, basically.

As long as we have Democrats like Kamala, we will have Republicans like Trump.

Ah, this makes sense, since Trump didn’t appear before Harris did. Smart thing to say.

I’m sure Google wants to keep the difficulty level for end users high enough that it remains niche.

I really do not think they need to. We tech communities massively overestimate the desire and even contextual awareness (and desire to have such awareness) of regular users to engage with these topics.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of Firefox users - a browser inherently more used by tech-savvy people! - have 0 addons installed. And probably 0 desire to change this. Or to even waste thought seconds on considering whether to change it.

To users, smartphones are tools. Like hammers. If it stops being a useful hammer, do you take the head off and re-forge it? No, you buy a different hammer that does what you need it to do.

I don’t think they do it actively. There’s just not a big enough issue for them in custom ROMs to even bother doing something about it.

Rather, they got other issues to tackle and custom ROMs are so off their radar, they get swept up simply because nobody cares (either way) to check.

Of course. It’s still just a software project.

I mean even for video games, early access just means “release, but we openly tell you it’s unfinished and buggy”.

For board games, it das you went to retail instead of Kickstarter where you’ll get your game 6 months later and paid more for it.

Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.

@CuddlyCassowary ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS this topic!

Yeah but like, if you’re feeling depressed, have you tried feeling happy instead? Durr! /s

I mean there’s probably a lot who don’t, but they’re busy firing missiles at civilians in Ukraine to get around their 15y work camp sentence.

Always gets me back to the Dr House scene about the mom who doesn’t want to vaccinate her kid.

I was able to do it myself! the cost of running a Lemmy and Mastodon instance for myself is so cheap… I’m actually shocked more people aren’t doing it!

I mean what for? It costs even less to use an existing Lemmy or Mastodon server given the minimal load you add.

For me I like them, I just wish:

• The puzzles were tougher.
• The story wasn’t as thin and spread out. It’s fine, but just not a lot of story for the amount of time it has to last.

I will say that as a result, my by-far favorite entry in the series is Layton vs Ace Attorney since it uses the combination of both “gameplay types” to cram more story “meat” into the same length of adventure. It’s also a wee bit darker, which actually helps it a lot IMO.

That the guy making the table is pulling things out of their arse, basically.

Hrm, I’ll be honest then, you’re the very very first time I hear someone wanting to consume game reviews meta aggregation in a chronological way (instead of by-game). Not once seen this sentiment before.

I dunno, it’s just not how people use these pages I would assume. You create search shortcuts for them, not RSS feeds. You want to look up what various reviewers at large say about a specific game, more so because this changes over time (so would a feed udoate each time the score changes? Only once on the very first review? Only once it stops updating for X time? What if that takes months?). It’s the polar opposite of once you have 2-3 reviewers who mirror your personal take well where you might want to know each time these people post a new review.

Uh, yes of course? The customers for a console and a handheld PC aren’t the same so naturally the former wants a game posted to the console?

🤷‍♀️

Yeah, sorry, you’re not going to try have a neutral perspective about this, are you?

But humor me, why are so many Switch still being sold if other stuff is so superior? After all, like you said, they’re quite comparable and hey, Deck seems strictly superior. Right?
