- Comment on Interface Studies - What "Infinite Scrolling" Was For 2 weeks ago:
I just shared the video because I find it interesting and I like the creator.
For example, he has this other video about the loss of the hover state because of mobile phones and this one about “Pie Menus” and why they never took off.
I was hoping that this newer video about endless scrolling would be interesting enough to funnel other Lemmites to his channel, but it certainly doesn’t look like it did, if 15 minutes is tl;dw worthy.
- Comment on Interface Studies - What "Infinite Scrolling" Was For 2 weeks ago:
The video talks about how it’s been hijacked by places like Insta and TikTok in order to keep your attention instead of leaving to do chores or what have you.
He talks about the history of the feature, its uses in modern tech, and why in some cases Google and Amazon used infinite scroll but went back to pagination and their reasons why.
I think the video itself is worth watching, but if you’d rather spend your time scrolling Lenny, I guess I won’t stop you.

- Comment on Are Nintendo first party games first developed in JP before EN? 5 weeks ago:
Yes. Nintendo’s game development group (formerly EAD) is based in Japan with the mothership. The localization team may have input and localize it at around the same time in the development cycle, but it’s written in Japanese first.
How the NOA/NOE teams decide to localize it is largely up to them, though I suspect there’s at least a little oversight from headquarters.

Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.

It’s a hard sell to try to get people to seed Terabytes of data. Might be easier to find people to seed if the collections were split up to make them a few hundred Gigabytes.

Disgusting. I never did like Roku…
- Comment on Roku files patent to inject ads via HDMI 2 years ago:
Basically: if the Roku device detects it is not actively playing a video, it will show ads. Whether or not tbis will happen while your TV is set to another input that doesn’t contain a Roku device isn’t clear based on the akimming I did through the diagrams.
