Tbh I know this isn’t helpful, but I recommend take the L and find better games to play. Errantly perma banning users shows a lack of consumer consideration and does not deserve further energy to fix. They fucked up, take your business elsewhere.

Again, I know it’s not helpful but I think worth considering. Companies some decades ago used to be user experience as the top goal, but that has gone to the sidelines for many companies, and I don’t think it’s good to normalize. Hence, boycott when it happens.

I can feel my hand cramping just looking at this.

Not even remotely comparable situations

TEN WHOLE GIGABYTES!! OMG WHAT ARE WE TO DO??

Thank you for reminding me of this game. I think it is Microsoft ants

Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn’t turn on, it doesn’t hold a charge, keyboard doesn’t work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

Take it to their “genius” bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I’m in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

Why the Apple “genius” didn’t share this option with me? They don’t actually care about helping.

And that’s the rub with Apple. They don’t give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

Would sarcasm without inflection be the same as deadpan? So maybe without the /s it’s deadpan and with the /s it’s sarcasm? :P

This has been a fun conversation to read. Such nuance.

Fuck your whatsboutism. This is good news; tiktok is a propaganda machine.

So that you can self host I think

I like this approach cuz it plays ball and can be reused for a number of products. Could have an “appliances” network and make a reusable fake “appliances” identity for any device that wants to IoT.

What's crypto?

Super cool but got annoying really fast lmao

How fast is it flashing? Unless it’s flashing more than 5 times per second I doubt there is a meaningful seizure risk.

I don’t see how a sign on top of a building would cause a car crash.

I agree the light pollution is annoying, but hyperbole about its effects isn’t helpful.

I’ve never taken an android out of the box and it not work. Not sure what that statement even means.

Holy Christ on a cross that sounds horrible

To add another angle not mentioned: Something I’m not sure of but interested in finding out is if multiple communities allow for better curation than one single large one.

For example, imagine a huge sub like /r/pics. When browsing “new” on that sub, the content goes away and is refreshed with even newer content in practically the blink of an eye. Because sooo many people are posting all at once.

As a result, a lot of good content gets missed in the flood of everything, and you have to rely on time of day and luck to get your post recognized.

OTOH with duplicate communities, the content gets divided and conquered a little bit better. One userbase can browse new on one community, while another userbase can browse and curate content on a similar one. In the end, both communities content don’t get drowned out by the massive volume.

Once a multireddit like feature comes out, users like you and me can identify and group these duplicate communities and be none the wiser browsing all of them at once.
