It’s fine from when I’m standing (using Voyager). What client are you using?
- Comment on spidey senses 2 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t a giant slider be just a burger?
- Comment on What's the deal with Signal? 3 weeks ago:
The thing is I have yet to see any reasonable alternatives.
Threema is the closest but it’s not free-of-charge, so a non-starter for most of my friends.
The others are controlled by Russia (telegram) or Meta. What else even is viable?
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 4 weeks ago:
then repeated a dog whistle to the 14-words
I missed that part. What was it?
- Comment on Are color schemes used in video game UIs really subject to trademark? 4 weeks ago:
reasonable interpretation? No.
Reality? Depends if there’s enough money and interest in litigation.
- Comment on why can't there be a soda dispenser for energy drinks? 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t done the math but I can’t imagine that’s the case or most sodas would also be illegal in their concentrated form.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
Nothing at all. Most people are not creating derivative works.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
It’s less clear than you say.
In principle the First-sale doctrine should apply but it has not caught up with reality yet.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
For most people that is a distinction without a difference.

Valve only did because they were building hardware that they wanted to run Linux.
That was part of it clearly but I think more so they wanted an escape route as Microsoft enshittifies (further)
- Comment on Are there people without handedness? 1 month ago:
soviets
Odd way to spell “the Catholic Church”
- Comment on Percentages 2 months ago:
I would say it should be fine as a solo game if you’re into that, but better as a 2-3 player game to have someone to discuss and bounce ideas against.
I can imagine that as a party game it would be chaotic for sure!
Definitely needs the right group, and I think you can’t take the scoring too seriously, especially playing in larger groups. Pretty sure I also have never had a positive score even in a smaller group.

Honestly, Letters From Whitechapel is a better design of the same concept.
For detective story games, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is amazing.
And for public transit games, Bus is the way to go (probably)
- Comment on Percentages 2 months ago:
Scotland Yard or Letters from Whitechapel?
- Comment on Sir David Leafenborough 2 months ago:
It is. The first couple paragraphs are more legible.
- Comment on Sir David Leafenborough 2 months ago:
Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.
- Comment on ugh i wish 2 months ago:
Why would you get hate for that? Just because a company that sells cheese also sells raw milk when they probably shouldn’t?
- Comment on A Song of Ice and Fire - first editions of each book 2 months ago:
They aren’t out of order. They’re in order, clockwise.
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 2 months ago:
What screws?
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
It most certainly does not. Source: have a tree, a lawn, and no interest in spending time raking leaves.

You think anybody is walking on the street in the US?
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 3 months ago:
But “level isn’t what you need. If the floor and ceiling aren’t level, it’ll look wrong.
- Comment on At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"? 3 months ago:
In twenty oh one.
So I skip twenty oh oh in favor of the year two thousand
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
Is that why every single application will only work with some ancient version of Java?(usually 8, sometimes 1.6 or 11)
I can’t think of many cases where Java 21 is a drop in replacement, and I don’t think I anyone actually used 17.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
That’s exactly the reason. And also no company is going through the bother to refactor that shit, so everything is named based on some other company 5 mergers and acquisitions ago.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 3 months ago:
Immigration isn’t real?
- Comment on Know thy enemy 3 months ago:
It was that in combination with the “engine-generators” yes. Made it unclear.
- Comment on Know thy enemy 3 months ago:
What’s with the math in the middle of your comment?
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 3 months ago:
You can but it bothers me that it exists, shitting on everything.

Well, this changes things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
