  It does so little compared to other smart watches. I dont understand the hype.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off topic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Audio levels are mixed horribly and go crazy loud with music but i cant fucking hear anyone talking. It feels like around 2010 or something tv shows and movies were like “lets just forget about voices and let everyone hear explosions and shitty driving music”.

  Its not my ears because YouTube folks who can mix their audio properly are easy to hear. Anime is mixed well usually with voices.

  Its the studios doing this for whatever reason unknown to us.

  I use subtitles 100% of the time now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And next they will come for other labels deemed “against the rules” without elaborating. Porn is the canary. You can “lol incest” but this is about taking down what folks cant argue with first then the next will be porn at all, then queer stuff, just like tumblr

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 studio will get their bonus, says Krafton, but it's not the $250 million promised⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  report by Bloomberg says the sweetener would include a $25 million payout to be shared (unequally) among roughly 40 specific developers at the studio. All other workers would meanwhile get a bonus paid this year, an advance on the “projected 2026 profit-sharing bonus pool”. Although the amounts involved for those employees isn’t specified.

  So… this was about the damned money

  If what they said was true about “90% going to the former leads” then this math works but this is also them just keeping most of that money

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They will be next as all of those also use the CC companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not different because in both instances it was CC companies being anti sex.

  Realpage being a “den of CSAM” was not happening at any scale the CC companies were actively worried about and it was about defunding sex workers.

  Same deal here. This is about control and puritanism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is such horse shit. I hate these puritanical CC companies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Payment Processors Are Pushing AI Porn Off Its Biggest Platforms [404 Media]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They dont wanna be sued. CC companies hate having any sex work or porn paid for with their systems. Puritan shit, sex work hate, and throwing the baby out with the bathwater trying to avoid being a processor for CSAM which does NOT just simply go hand in hand for sex work or porn but they think it dows.
