• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea, I refused to even entertain the idea to purchase it after they pressured everyone to buy it by putting them at a disadvantage against those who bought it and even kicking them out of a server if it changed maps to an SF map.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  EA has been dead to me since the mid 2000’s when they turned Battlefield 2, which I had purchased at full price, into a severely unbalanced Pay-To-Win game.

  It only went downhill since then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I shouldn’t have to adjust my grip on my phone to change the way I swipe to exit the website because that website decided to replace a commonly used functionality to make it more difficult to leave their website. I kid you not I almost didn’t see that button because my thumb was naturally placed in front of it.

  There is already a way to make a gesture that navigates “previous” or “next” by swiping left or right. It is by swiping from the center of the screen outwards and it is how that website should have made that gesture work if they didn’t want to interfere with Android navigation gesture users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to enable the gestures bar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On many Android phones swiping from the outside edge of the screen inwards either from the left or right edge, it behaves like you tapped the “back” button. It is extremely useful to get out of for example an article that was opened on Lemmy or simply navigating through menus on your phone.

  A swipe either left or right from the middle-ish of the screen is what you would expect to take you from the previous or next article. Not from the edge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is also the proper swiping to go back in the browser this was being used in. More importantly, I was visiting this page from a Lemmy link and the only way to get out and back to Lemmy is to swipe from the outside of the screen inwards on my device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever since I tried gesture I never went back to buttons. I don’t even need to adjust my hand position to get out of a page and it’s no problem provided I’m not on a site that puts a different function exactly where my thumb was going to swipe. It’s a personal preference.

  Nah, instead people who work will continue being stuck in a constant crunch time. There will only be more unemployed people and the owners and shareholders will continue to pocket the extra profit.

  The whole technology is based on a flawed simulation of intelligence. It has no understanding of the meaning of what it is saying. It will always be bullshitting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon crunches some numbers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every invention or discovery sped up our development. Agriculture gave us excess time and energy to pursue other things than bare survival. Writing allowed us to better record and share ideas and knowledge. Mathematics allowed us to better understand the world. Fertilizer allowed us to boost our food production and population, leading to more people to help science and technology ahead. Computers allowed us to almost instantly solve problems that would have taken centuries to do by hand, further speeding up our technological development. All of it has been exponential so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon breaks up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1- The second paragraph could very well be interpreted as suggesting that hypothetical threat allegations being fraudulent and therefore suggest the opposite. This is downright bad faith from your part.

  2- I’m being mad at someone calling me a “liar” and trying to continue to force their own erroneous interpretation of my own words after I immediately clarified it for them and who keeps doubling down on it even after further explanation.

  3- You call it “vague” and yet still claim that I “absolutely did” mean what you think I meant, once again giving yourself a completely unwarranted benefit of the doubt on the matter against the now overwhelming evidence.

  4- Everyone else interpreted it correctly except you.

  5- Why the fuck would I even accuse Anon of making death threats when they were never mentioned in the article to begin with? It is much telling that this is where your mind went immediately.

  6- You came here looking for something to get angry about and thought you found it by diagonally reading through my comment and jumped to conclusions. Now that I called you out on it you decided that it had to be my fault instead and are going further down the rabbit hole of inventing all sorts of malicious intents from my part.

  7- You don’t have to admit it to me, only yourself. Because you will be blocked as soon as I have sent this. You will be the first one I’ve ever blocked on Lemmy over a comment argument too. I thought I had left this crap behind me when I dumped Reddit years ago but some seem to have followed. Which by the way also refutes your new unsubstantiated accusation of having made my original “deliberately vague” as if I had created some sort of trap to attract people like you. You can now rest assured that I don’t want people like you in my life.

  Sure, tell yourself that all you want if it makes you feel better about yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon breaks up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never suggested that Anon do any death threat and this concern is covered in the rest of my comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon breaks up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if someone makes death threats to someone else they should absolutely have their guns taken away.

  The problem is that the system is open to abuse. Anyone who wants to get back at someone can make up allegations and have their guns taken away with no due process.

  But on the other hand if you make this process too difficult you can allow someone who is actually dangerous to keep their guns.

  Interesting how we’ve all become accustomed to the notion that “agreeing to arbitration” has just become “waving your consumer rights” and no one questions whether this should be legal to begin with.

  Here’s a controversial one: Target shooting.

  It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.

  And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos and try to cosplay as some military/special forces/action movie hero at the range ruined it.
