  I have a foot pedal button assigned to mute my microphone.

  (And no, I don’t stream or anything, purely a QoL thing 😆)

  Oof, yeah I’m pretty picky about some keybinds and games that lock down keys can be almost unplayable.

  Helldivers 2 doesn’t let you remap interact to F (which is the only muscle memory interact key I can use) and I haaaaate that so much. I had to get a workaround just to fix it.

  Hmmm, I’ve never noticed what you mentioned on my recent phones. That said you should test a newer android yourself before making a purchase!

  More of my personal experience… I have a Pixel 7 XL and a work Iphone which I think its either a standard 12 or 12 mini, not sure which. Generally they are the same in terms of scroll or input lag. There is lag on both when they are overheated, especially on the Iphone if I put it on a higher power charger (I trickle charge both when I can).

  Beyond that, I can’t offer guidance. In my personal experience the Iphone UI is so frustrating that I can’t judge which one performs “better” or not, because only the Android feels comfortable to me.

  Check!

  Also, I forgot all the tomfuckery he pulled with starlink in Ukraine, cutting off access and the like.

  It’s truly a testament to how much shit this guy has done that we forget so much of it.

  Literally only the best strategies here! I mean lets recap:

  • Threaten to buy company then double down and agree in writing as a bullying tactic: check
  • Roll a nat 1 on your intimidation check: check
  • Be forced to follow through when called out on being mentally an 8 yo by the feds: check
  • Fire critical employees, like basically all of them: check
  • Yoink verification away from public news orgs: check
  • Let anyone pay to be “legit,” even if they’re parodying you: check
  • Rename to stupidest thing imagined since head-on (apply directly to the forehead): check
  • Gut content moderation policies but also stop enforcing regardless: check
  • Post own hate content and racism to the platform: check
  • "Accidentally" run ads next to hate content: check
  • Be told your sign sucks and to take it down by city: check (lol)
  • Become a living embodiment of “big yikes” energy while telling aforementioned advertisers to “go fuck yourselves” on live TV: check
  • Hallucinate about making company a libertarian wechat alternative: check
  • Tank the value of the company while blaming literally anyone else for your failures: mission in progress, #1 priority

  10/10 solid buy, gonna grab some long calls rn. The koch boys and rupert murderjock must be holding back a tsunami of jealousy by now 🤣

  In the US, people with mall crawlers and enshittified cars will cheat emissions tests (assuming the state has them) and then revert their coal rolling and earsplitting mods again right afterward.

  I imagine it’s fairly simple to do the same for noise at the DEQ/MOT inspection. I imagine there’s some sort of removeable noise damper they can shove in and bam, they get a pass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In the first place, an AirBNB host should either: a) have house rules about how any electricity is used, regardless of source; or b) should factor uncontrolled use into their budget and thus expected pricing of the unit.

  An irresponsible guest leaving the lights, TV, and some of their personal appliances on all day could do more damage than charging a car.

  So could an irresponsible guest that sets the AC at 65 all day long. I can say from experience that A/C use costs more than charging my model 3 nightly, especially when I’m home all day and the thermostat can’t go into away mode.
