- Comment on Don't know if this is the right place to ask but is there another well known asklemmy besides asklemmy.ml? Or an AMA place? 5 days ago:
If you don’t mind me asking, why are you’re looking for an alternative?
Is it a federation issue, or you don’t like how it’s being modded, or something else entirely different? Honestly curious.

- Comment on Tried to order a part before the tariffs 1 week ago:
“Additionally, the $800 exemption for low-value goods has been removed.”
I didn’t even know such a thing existed, it’s not something reported on the news.
So every product will be hit with the tariff raising prices, and not just expensive products getting the tariffs. Yikes!

I know the movie, I saw it a long long time ago. I just didn’t catch that reference, didn’t remember that being said in that scene. Creepy scene btw.
Thanks!

Elaborate? Your comment seems nonsensical?

This was a good read, thank you for doing this!
As far as the shutdown of the Epic game Dauntless, was any reason given for the shutdown?

No idea. does it look weird in the other browsers?
I only have Firefox installed, and not going to bother diagnosing the problem by installing others, as I don’t have the same problem with other web sites using Firefox/Android.
At least, I wouldn’t want to bother diagnosing the problem until they paid me my hourly rate. 😜

Any thoughts then and what could affect one Android app but not all the other installations of the same Android app?
As a software developer, I can’t think of very many, assuming we’re both correct about having the exact same extensions installed and using the same version of the browser.

Cookie settings would be my guess; not privacy friendly site maybe.

Yeah I don’t know, I just used the stock app, no add-ons or anything. /shrug
What I long press then open on a new tab what see is something trying to do a pop up and then it interacts with the slide-out side panel, and the side panel doesn’t collapse all the way so it’s just long vertical side panel bar, that’s showing the right edge of a search box with the magnifying glass, and it covers about 1/5 of the screen so it makes it really hard to read the article.

Whomever runs that website should try opening that page using the DuckDuckGo Android mobile browser. It needs some work.

Has the game always been very buggy, or did it just decline in quality in recent days?
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
If you click “source” on a deleted comment, you can see what was written before it was deleted on the Mlmym interface.
Sounds like they’re caching the comments, and not honoring the deletion request by removing the comment from their cache.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Others don’t see the text of the comment though, it just says comment is deleted.
To answer your question, basically for Federation reasons (if I had to guess).
Its the same way with when you block someone, you’re not blocking them from the seeing you, you’re blocking yourself from seeing them. They can still respond to your comments and you wouldn’t know they had.

This is it. Trump didn’t give a flying shit at all if anything he did was legal, he just went for it, and it worked.
The law is slow, but powerful.

I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?
I did, both in the link that I originally gave you, as well as replying to your comment directly at the top.
And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”
That’s a problem with your mobile client, it’s not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly, per Lemmy’s help page on formatting comments. Also discussed in that original link I gave you.
- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 9 months ago:
Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10’s of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That’s my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.
Well I meant for you to also go to the top of that conversation to read everything that’s been discussed, including my answer to the question you just asked.
Also, we’re really derailing the topic of the post.

but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough
You’re way underestimating and underemphasizing Obamacare, and the impact it took to get it into law.
Obamacare was a huge get for the Democrats, and while it wasn’t Medicare for all that we all wanted, especially with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him, that was a huge win.
It took a lot of effort in time to get Obamacare, which took all the oxygen out of the room for doing other things.

FYI I’ve found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.
Nice! Yeah I used my phone’s text feature to send myself a text one time, and then just long-press on the text to copy the message and long-press in the Lemmy editor to paste the text.
My phone actually has a copy and paste memory feature of some sort, but i only see it when I copy, I don’t see anything when I try to paste (only the last thing in the buffer that was last copied is pasted).
- Comment on EA are thinking about inserting adverts into games - but don’t worry, it’ll be “very thoughtful” 9 months ago:
Didn’t we talk about this last week?
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Fellow gamers, now is the time to push back on this crap. If you don’t do it now, you’ll live with this forever. They tried doing this in past generations as well, and failed.
Spread the word, tell others. Be vocal! Advocate for this not happening.
And if someone tells you that this isn’t preventable, tell them not to be cynical. Remind them of the other positive changes we were able to have happen recently in gaming, and that in the past when they tried this, the pushback was successful in keeping the gaming companies from doing so.
And remember, some of those you would try to convince are probably astroturfers/bots.

The Verge claims that Tango were in the process of pitching Hi-Fi Rush 2 before they were canned. The studio deserved better.
Wow, that really sucks. Wonder what the hell’s going on over there with Microsoft these days.

As an individual, for comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.
My content is usually more than a sentence or two.
Also, it puts a stake in the ground for any future enforcement done by others than myself if laws change.
Its a low-hanging-fruit way of protecting my content. If it works, great, and if it doesn’t, then I’ll vote for someone else for Congress the next time.
I’ve wasted more time replying on this single conversation/post than I have copy/pasting the link in all of my comments so far.
- Comment on What is Reddit doing 10 months ago:
Don’t think of it as them being unprofessional, think of it as them having a safety valve to relieve the pressure of some people wanting to leave Reddit for Lemmy or elsewhere, because of their bs.
Someday, when they’re confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.
