It sucked to have bought into the kickstarter and financed the project, and then see the product on the shelves at Target while I was still waiting on mine to be delivered.
Shit, I didn’t realize it got that bad. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t hear more rage about that online at the time.
- Comment on People who think an attack on another user is approproate for this sub, and the mods that enable them 1 day ago:
The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.
A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.
I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.
My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.

Now there’s a post directly targeting another lemmy user. What the fuck mods.
- Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people 1 day ago:
It’s literally spelled out on the user’s profile page. It’s an attempt to mess with AI scrapers.

Looks like the dev’s Ko-Fi is the official source for the download: ko-fi.com/nemo622
No offense, but I’m way more interested in this Crystal styled Emerald romhack itself than whatever drama is happening around it.
Although I am sad to hear that yet another creator has been badgered out of enjoying their work. That sucks.
- Comment on Want to play the latest multiplayer games? Just go into your bios settings or upgrade your PC if it doesn't have TPM chip. 6 days ago:
There’s plenty of options. Many desktop mobos and CPUs support TPM2 through bios or firmware updates. Other desktop mobos have TPM headers and the modules go for $12-$30, but you have to track down the specific module compatible with your mobo as there is no standard pinout, even within the same manufacturer. There’s also one PCIE TPM2 card I found, but it’s from a company I don’t recognize and their site has no purchase button, just “contact us”, so that doesnct check out as legit to me.
Lastly, TPM2 has been a standard since 2015, with most manufacturers including it starting in 2016. At some point you have to accept that certain experiences will be unavailable to you without upgraded hardware. 10 years out of a computer before you start hitting hard limitations like this is a fucking great amount of life out of it.

Yes, leave me alone.

Without any info on how they compile the “Top 50 viral” list, I’m not sure how significant this really is.
Never heard of that chart before, so this feels like it was just an easy article for click farming.

Am I stupid, or is that the equivalent of using a novelty check for like $25 for these rich motherfuckers? That seems like it would be chump change for them.

I’m still hoping that someday 1 and 2 will get decomps so fans can try their hand at it.

Very few things “come with” a bin. Houses don’t. You generally have to buy one.

That has a lot less to do with the size of your cock and way more to do with the size of your ass.
Lose some weight. I’m well endowed and have only ever had an issue of “where penis go” when I tried to go while fully erect when I was a string bean of a teenager, and again as an adult when I weighed around 275 lbs and tried to go with a chub.
- Comment on On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant 2 weeks ago:
What the shit? Pressing and holding power and a volume button used to be for force shutdown. It’s been that way for over a decade! Fucking hell.
- Comment on On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant 2 weeks ago:
Does that actually bring up a menu, or just outright shut it down?
The two button shortcut has historically been for forcing an immediate shutdown in the event of like, a full system freeze. It’s the same as ripping the power cord from a running desktop PC, and isn’t the intended graceful shutdown that these devices are supposed to get.
Unless they’ve changed things, that’s been the standard since the first smart phones and PDAs.

I have a first gen iPod Touch somewhere in a box here. It was press once to lock and turn off screen. Hold to get power menu.
- Comment on On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about like or dislike. I’d have almost no complaints if they added a button or a unique gesture to open it, like they already had with holding the home button (looks like they may have removed that shortcut functionality). Or how some phones made the lock/power button touch sensitive so a touch (not press) or a swipe over it opened the assistant.
But silently changing the function of a standard piece of UI/controls that have been standard for over a decade, and common on even slide phones since the fucking pre-smart phone era?
I’m shocked that anyone actually needs this explained to them.
It would rightfully be a news story if Honda’s newest car hid the window controls behind a settings menu, and what normally were window controls (still visually the exact same and located in the standard spot on the door) raised and lowered your seat instead.
That’s all without getting into the mess that is a company trying to artificially pump user numbers of one of their products, or my personal dislike of these “assistants”.
Internal emails from Google have become public through court cases which reveal that the rumor they were making search worse intentionally is true, and it was in order to inflate their ad impression numbers. There is no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt on this, and active explicit reasons to do the opposite.

I think I grew mine out before 20, but it’s stayed on because it absolutely made me look older.
I tried clean shaven a few times since and I end up looking like I’m 16 again. No thanks.

And? It’s not halloween yet, and even so, we still have a month before Thanksgiving.
But I guess just fuck the people too busy to decorate for Halloween at the start of September.
