Just to be sure. Your approach might be legit in your case. Idk i dont live in bumfuck Alabama. But in “normal” “places” we wiill know but dont give a fuck. Just dont be a dick and give us no easy reason to report you.

i nut on my pee to reverse it.

not a catologist but from what i remember its mostly just too much salt and spices in general for their good.

For me that was always the spirit with up/downvote driven communities. If you are in the mood to sift through “new” you “leave your mark”. With that logic in my mind i could see how Apple and Nintendo related posts would gather more downvotes on the Fediverse compared to other sites.

To be clear i’m really uncertain if thats the case here.

I atleast dont take any offense by the mere mention of Nintendo or Apple and feel the need to instantly downvote even though i’m not a fan of neither company.

Actively going to these subs to just downvote is stupid for obvious reasons though. What a waste of time.

those eyes 😍

Well i wanted to try Rec Room several times. But even 4-5 years ago i was instantly greeted by a virtual kindergarten with dozens of kids just dicking around. Some of them instantly approached me while i still was just figuring things out. Good for them having such a cool virtual playground. I could have only dreamed of such a cool place back in my time. But i was starting to get gray hair at the time and instantly felt uncomfortable. Like sure i could have hanged out with them but it was instantly just too much high energy, man. Like, i’m good with just instantly logging out. Thanks.

It depends. Handy is still pretty common and everybody will know what you are talking about. But atleast in my circles we just call them smartphones most of the time now.

thats german anglicisms for you. before smartphones we called mobile phones handys

Eh, this was explored several times over the last 15 years and never stuck around. At this point in time i dont even see a marketable reason since phone cameras are good enough for the average user for several years now. Hobbyist or professional photographers will stay with their purpose built devices with robust and long living lens systems, better ergonomics, exchangeable batteries and storage, etc

This current effort will result at best in gadgets with questionable performance compared to their price with probably several short living but not interchangeable standards and ecosystems.

But sure, if they pull off an open standard with say a 1" sensor and a bayonet mounting system which will be supported for several years over several manufacturers and devices with affordable lenses and addons which have feature parity across all (non)proprietary camera apps I’m all for it. But even then i dont think there is a big enough market for the ecosystem to be sustainable.

But these users can fuck their phone up perfectly fine with the offerings provided by the horribly curated play store and thats even intentional. I dont doubt there are also techilliterate users who seek out dodgy sites to sideload some shitty apk. But i dont believe google one bit this move is made to make the experience more secure for this subset of users. Its about as much control as possible over their platform because the line must go up.

As someone who actually played tons of emulated games on phones in the past: These products sadly only sell the dream of a slick controller which integrates well with a phone. But the ergonomics will be so dogshit you will barely use them. Main issue is that modern phones got way to heavy and with these kind of setups the weight is pretty frontloaded. Even with Clips for a proper Xbox/PS controller you atleast want one were you can adjust it so that the phone is kinda in front of the controller like the linked one(linked only for demonstration sake, no purchase advice). I had one which didnt adjust when i even worked construction and had some muscles and it got tiring fast even though the xbox controller has some heft to its own to balance the weight out and some proper handles to hold onto.

We would actually need a Xperia Play successor where only the relativly light screen portion slides up. But even with the integrated controller the Xperia Play only weight like 175g. With a modern Phone and these controller concepts you frontload >200g. With this particular one you even cram together your hands and arms super tight. Must feel awful even after 5 minutes of play.

The only thing that atleast worked for me are those slidy phone controllers like the Razer Kishi, Gamesir G8, etc Issue with them is they’re either cheap and dogshit or expensive af. I caved for a G9. Maybe today there are better options with sensible prices, idk. But with them you dont have that slick pocketable stealthy experience. I always had to carry the controller in my backpack. Didnt get much use from me outside because it was just that tiny bit too much of an hassle to whip it out quickly and also wasnt stealthy enough and looked way too gamery. But it got tons of use on my couch and bed though!

Would do it for free but i havent had a facebook account for over a decade now.

fuck ai, but this is alright. use their weapons

I want to be MR WAVE. But i’m honestly the part where the editor fucked up and showed how POWERFUL PEXSTER jumped awkwardly of the quarterpipe before he ripped some awesome MOVES.

Sad, i used Ecosia for several years as my main search engine. I dont really know why but in the last few years i settled on Duckduckgo. I would have instantly changed back to Ecosia if they just simply called out AI for the bullshit it is. But this greenwashing take on the situation? Fuck that. Yeah, i’m an AI hater. Luddite. Whatever. But damn i really thought Ecosia would have a different stance on AI. I already didnt like when DDG implemented AI. But i really had an higher opinion of Ecosia. This sucks.

There is no green way to implement AI. Fuck you.

“Forget Ray-Ban Meta — HTC”

Couldnt read past that part of the title. lmao

edit: Oh god, now i just did. I cant anymore. AI AI AI AI COCO JAMBOO AI AI YEAH

Just to be sure: I dont give any credit to Meta. Fuck the Zucc. But HTC and AI wont let me forget the mEtA rAyBans.

Edit: EYOOoo

lmao, the amazon appstore.

the last time i used it was on a phone which i bought with froyo and updated to gingerbread. but even then it was just crap filled with shovelware.

yeah, yeah probably relevant for non-techy people who still hold onto their fire tablets which they didnt instantly jailbroke.
