That sounds fabulous. 💅

I vote that we adopt this immediately.

It’s the start menu that’s written in react.

In English they’re often transcribed too, so you can just click past the advert.

Sure. Let’s pretend like they haven’t stolen a bunch.

Reminds me of that one article that came out saying that Zuckerberg is “affectionally” referred to as the “Eye of Sauron” in the office, or something like that.

How many P’s in Google? Two. Let’s count:

Google → Goople → propeller

Yeah, that really should be an option. I don’t think it’s infeasible for Valve to employ their own moderators and ensure the communities are less toxic. Short of that though, letting developers/publishers disable them is the bare minimum they can do.

There is zero or nearly zero accountability for the state of the community hub and Valve simply saying “devs should do it” is just passing the buck.

Do devs have the ability to turn forums/communities off? If so, I feel like that’s the best option if they don’t want to moderate it.

we got an anecdote from an anonymous former Valve employee of a time when Newell downright bit the head off Valve general counsel Karl Quackenbush

Quackenbush is a wild name.

Kind of, but primarily that the usage habits of parents shape those of the kids.

Rough translation of some of the (to me) salient content because I can’t be arsed to manually translate all of it.

The mobile phone is a part of every day life for parents and other adults in the proximity of the child. However, the way adults use their screens when they’re with their children ca affect both their relationship and the child’s own habits. It’s the starting point when FHM (Ministry of The People’s Health) update their recommendations surrounding the screen habits of parents.

• Create good screen habits for yourself. They affect the child’s screen habits.
• Put away the mobile phone when you’re with your child. Use it only if you need, or when you use it together.
• Protect and respect your child on the internet. Consider for a while before you upload images of videos.

Studies show that parents screen usage can affect dynamics with children negatively. In experimental studies, scientists have seen that young children more often react with crying and irritation, and more seldomly with smiles and laughter, when a parent interrupts an interaction to use their mobile phone. The scientists have also observed connections between the screen habits of parents and children, where children of parents with high screen time use screens more themselves.

Statistics from the media ministry show that a lot of parents themselves perceive that their mobile phone usage is a problem. More than half of the parents with children between 0 and 12 years old state that they spend too much time on their phones. In prior focus groups children have also described frustration over parents mobile phone usage.

Today I learned that FHM has an entire section on digital media and health. It looks like a really good resource for people.

It’s a fantastic ministry, I wish our politicians would fucking listen to them more often.

Amazon would sever feet from their “workers” if they thought people would pay for it.

Wahoo! 🔧💚🪠

I’m a software developer. My old roomie is a truck driver. I’m devastated he makes almost as much as I do.

He has to drive a truck 5 days a week the entire year, no matter the weather. He deals with accidents, annoying customers, breakdowns, tight spaces, heavy goods. Workdays often drag out, and sometimes he didn’t manage to get home and had to sleep in the truck or at a motel. People are dependant on his work, if his truck doesn’t arrive, a store might not get food, and the attached community will suffer. He takes half an hour to commute to work.

I work from home. I have a few set meetings daily, but I schedule my time on my own. Three times a week I take some extra time to go for a run through the forest with my dog. I’m safe, my bed is always nearby. My commute is the thirty seconds it takes to crawl into clothes and to my office. If I miss my work we at worst have to delay a product launch by a little.

I’m happy with my pay, no doubt, and I wouldn’t want a pay cut. My friend deserves much more though. It’s bananas to me that he doesn’t catch up with me despite all the overtime and such. It’s incredibly unfair.

Fuck NVidia. Wouldn’t use them with Linux anyway.

I’m okay with AirBNBs being trashed. Fuck everyone involved.

Personally, I disagree. The rest of the right wingers only care to remain in power and fill the pockets of them and their friends. Anything social doesn’t really matter to them, and since SD is the linchpin to their power, they’ll gladly implement Nazi politics because it doesn’t matter in either direction to them.

An enabler is also culpable, even if they don’t actively push for the abuse. Table of Nazis, kind of thing.

Title intrigued me, but I can’t stand fireship. Absolutely bananas that he sold out to private equity.

Holy fuck.

Absolutely this. Just kicking the rock down the road, and they’ll scramble to fix it once it causes issues.

I bought the original Switch for SMT:V, which then took years to release, and shortly after got a PC release. At first I liked the console, but honestly the Steam Deck is heaps and bounds better.

What really drove me off the fucking edge is how garbage and overpriced Nintendo’s hardware is. They purposely design things to not be repairable and as fucked as possible, and they use horrible quality components to make their stuff.

After sitting in its case in a drawer for a few months, my joycon analogue sticks started melting. The rubber just lost its integrity. If Nintendo cared about that kind of thing, they’d design the joycons to have the tips be able to pop off, but no. Further, the component itself is garbage and drifts. That’s well known. You can get replacement hall effect sticks for $10, or you can buy a new set of joycons for ~$80.

Nintendo could have designed these to be easily maintainable by users, they could’ve designed them to not have the drift problem. They actively chose to be anti-consumer, and with the Switch 2 they doubled down on it.

8bitdo offers a clone of the Switch Pro controller, that’s better, has more features, and somehow they magically manage to keep the price lower than the official Switch Pro controller, despite not being a massive corporation with pockets as deep as Nintendo.
