why even bother with users anymore?

- Comment on Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’ 1 week ago:
ah yes and the solution to that is of course to give up
- Comment on NTSYNC for Proton / Wine now in Linux kernel 6.14 that "Should make many SteamOS users happy" 3 weeks ago:
honestly i kinda like that approach, the devs don’t want shit code in the main codebase, but hey they can fart it out in a weekend so might as well provide it to those who want to use it anyways!

on ice! - Comment on Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life 3 weeks ago:
Mmm i wouldn’t go that far on most devices, most of the time that would result in unsatisfying runtime.
however for devices where they can easily run days on a charge, yeah it makes sense. My xiaomi smartwatch gets 6 fucking days on 70% charge with quite a lot of power-drawing features enabled, so there’s really no reason to ever charge it above 80%.
But on my phone i very much need to be able to charge it to 100% before travelling, it only gets like 16h with the screen off on a full charge.

this really should just be a bog standard feature on all devices with a screen
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 4 weeks ago:
well yeah, china has like 1000x more history than america does, i don’t think anyone can know all of documented chinese history
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII is Steam Deck Verified with the Linux version ahead of release on February 11 5 weeks ago:
i really wish i could find a game that is just Civ altered to be a fun singleplayer game to keep playing forever
i don’t want to win the game, i just want to keep building and exploring and make number go up
- Comment on USB-C gets a bit more universal as the EU’s mandate goes into effect 1 month ago:
i don’t get why people want C outlets, USB A outlets have been standard since time immemorial at this point and they’re fine for that. The only time i see a reason to output power from USB C is when you’re getting a charge from someone’s phone, otherwise it can just be A

if you don’t realize why this is an absurd statement to make, i suggest you read it out to yourself a couple times

over the head, in this case

there are some bots on lemmy, yes
- Comment on Reddit bans posting UnitedHealthcare shooter’s manifesto 2 months ago:
really? it looks remarkably un-angsty to me! i’d expect someone who shoots a dude to write something way more angry, but this is just matter-of-fact “shit sucks here’s why”
- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 2 months ago:
yeah the idea that you could fool people about something important with AI voices is fucking wild to me, do people talk like news hosts on the phone? Or do they just regularly send over $5000 when their kid asks them?
the one scenario i get is a fake hostage situation, in that case yeah you don’t exactly have the time or desire to go “hey mom can you prove that you’re being held hostage?”

- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 months ago:
this is why electric locks should NOT be relied on for safety: electric locks MUST default open when something goes wrong, which means that picking them is as easy as making them malfunction or cutting the power.

- Comment on No Man's Sky adds fishing, a fishing skiff, a new expedition, deep-sea diving and loads more 5 months ago:
presumably they learned a lesson, and now they just roll with what reliably nets them more goodwill and keeps people playing the game.
and yeah go figure, if you actually recognize that you fucked up and genuinely work to fix it, people will mostly forgive you and start viewing you positively again, what a concept huh.

so it’s just effectively legal to send out killer robotaxis, great!
- Comment on Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck 8 months ago:
man i’m a linux enjoyer but celebrating 2% feels really desperate lmao, when it hits 5% i’ll be ready to respond with an entire “oh sweet”
- Comment on Is it normal that my OLED discharges 20% per day in standby? 8 months ago:
idk, for me hibernation has mostly worked fine so long as i don’t hibernate with a game running, which seems to be more of a GPU issue than hibernate itself.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 9 months ago:
have old xbox discs really not been cracked? would feel very odd if people hadn’t figured out how to run them from regular old CD readers and emulators…
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 9 months ago:
the point is that you don’t have to fiddle with anything, you can trust the product sold by valve to be good, you have everything preinstalled and configured, and because thousands and thousands of people have the same device it’s easy for developers to target it.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 9 months ago:
what people want is the internals of a steam deck but beefed up and easier to open up

- Comment on FCC scraps old speed benchmark, says broadband should be at least 100Mbps 11 months ago:
i literally cannot get internet slower than 100Mbps symmetric here in sweden lol, astounding that providers in the US are so reticent to improve speeds.
it reminds me of the american rail freight industry, it seems they would prefer to dismantle the entire infrastructure and become investment companies instead…
- Comment on Valves iFixit partnership is a game changer 11 months ago:
i am convinced the vast majority of decision-makers these days are just actually incompetent:
Large corporations repeatedly amputate themselves to save weight only to go surprised pikachu when that causes them to fall flat on their face, small business owners will vehemently oppose building bike paths outside their stores because that would remove 2 parking spaces (yeah sure dude 2 parking spaces is totally enough to sustain your business, that has no relation to why it’s currently careening toward bancrupcy), and governments will unironically use the logic of “well we can’t build a bridge here, not enough people are swimming across the river to justify it!”.
