  • Reddit seem to have switched to the newer, even shittier UI by default.

    Jump

  • I disagree, you can see so much on the old layout specifically because it's a wall of text. The new layout is unnecessarily bloated and takes up your whole screen on every device you view it from, so you can barely see more than one or two posts at a time. It removes the ability for the user to freely scroll and look at things that interest them, and forces the user's attention onto exactly what the algorithm wants them to. The new layout removes a ton of agency from the user.

  • Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed

    Jump

  • This only hides content locally for Threads users, it doesn't affect visibility from any other fedi platform. It's not that different from a Lemmy instance downvoting a comment to the point of being auto-hidden; it still exists but requires an extra click to see from your instance, and the rest of the fediverse can access it normally.

  • MAR10 Day 2024 - Nintendo

    Jump

  • Nintendo isn't against emulation. They're against piracy, which Yuzu was facilitating. None of the emulators that don't have specific support for unreleased games have been touched so far.

  • For some Helldivers 2 players, the fascist role-play has gone too far

    Jump

  • As somebody in both communities, these people are outliers, by far. I'd say 95% of the randoms I play with in either game are decent folk who aren't trying to ruin other people's fun. Even if the random player is way too underleveled for the mission and picked 4 support weapon strategems not knowing what they are and keeps getting stuck in respawn loops, everybody has been friendly and helpful, because that's the democratic way. Anybody who tries to make the lives of their fellow players miserable is a dirty traitor and will be court-martialed.

  • Helldivers 2 boss apologizes for 'horrible' dev comments, says Arrowhead has 'taken action internally to educate our developers'

    Jump

  • Good on them for acknowledging what was a pretty terrible response to player complaints. It's one thing to be firm in your balancing decisions, but it's another thing to demean your players over it.

    That said, the responses from a lot of the players were also really over-the-top to begin with. Hopefully Arrowhead is able to remedy this combativeness between the studio and the community. A live service game really only does well when the developers are on the same wavelength as their players.

  • Settlement for the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator also resulted in takedown of the Citra 3DS emulator created by the same developers.

    Jump

  • That fork seems like a cash grab considering it already has a Patreon.

    Have they learned nothing from the lawsuit?

  • Supreme Court Rules Trump Stays on Colorado Ballot

    Jump

  • Even though it may seem disappointing, this was realistically the right call. You know what they say about broken clocks, and all.

    They didn't say he couldn't be removed from the ballot, just that it's a federal issue to solve and not a state one. And had they allowed it, that precedent would have been abused almost immediately and been back in the court's review all over again and would have resulted in a ton of dramatic and divisive political theater in the meantime.

    Though, it does highlight some significant flaws in our electoral process. There's a lot of conflict between what the states and what the fed should be able to do for elections. The whole system needs to be revamped, IMO. Why each state sets their own rules is baffling to me in the first place; the Presidency affects the entire country, not just the states, so I don't get why we aren't going by nationwide popular vote instead of "California's electors picked Candidate A even though the majority of the voters picked Candidate B, and Iowa voters did a collective Hokey Pokey in a big expo center and decided on Candidate C", etc.

  • Switch emulator creator settles Nintendo lawsuit for $2.4m | VGC

    Jump

  • I wonder why they settled

    I'd imagine because they charged for access to piracy-specific functions of the tool and knew they couldn't argue a case.

    It was a dumb move for them to add functionality for unreleased games in the first place, and an even worse move to charge money for it. It makes it a lot harder to convince a court that your tool is for backup/archival purposes only, when you have features that could only work with pirated materials.

  • Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

    Jump

  • Eh, the built-in speakers on most TVs these days are all pretty trash across the board. You pretty much need a sound bar at the very least, these days.

  • What does Lemmy do better than Reddit?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, it still happens even here on Lemmy. I don't think we see it as much because most communities here have far fewer mods than adjacent Reddit subs on average, but occasionally you'll find a mod here who thinks they know better than their community and does whatever they feel like.

  • What does Lemmy do better than Reddit?

    Jump

  • I feel like that trope doesn't really ring true these days, as most of the "general purpose" instances are pretty moderate. Back when Lemmy was still just a small handful of instances, that was definitely the case, but I think the wider adoption has balanced things out a bit closer toward center, overall.

  • Android Microphone Snooping

    Jump

  • Crazy that they wrote an entire article for one guy's conversation about motor oil. Sounds like a really effective use of resources that is very real and not made up.

  • Hands up if you want to volunteer for layoffs, IBM tells staff

    Jump

  • IBM is still just as active, just not in the consumer markets anymore. They're big into industry research and more specialized computing these days.

  • What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows?

    Jump

  • I also recommend Pluto.TV for anybody who enjoys Plex's live TV. They've got a similar business model in place (watch for free with regularly-scheduled ads, like normal TV), and some different content sources (as well as some overlapping sources). Like Plex, it also doesn't require any account to watch. It also has an app for most TV platforms.

  • Oprah Exits Weight Watchers Board After Admitting She Took Weight Loss Meds, Stock Tumbling

  • "But she's so empowering!" the fans will say, nevermind the fact that she only seems to "empower" fraudsters.

  • Gen Z Announces Julie Andrews Is Problematic But Refuses To Explain Why

  • People born on Leap Day, do you celebrate your birthday on February 28th, February 29th, or March 1st?

    Jump

  • That's generally how it works, yes.

  • People born on Leap Day, do you celebrate your birthday on February 28th, February 29th, or March 1st?

    Jump

  • Or it's the day before March 1.

  • Actor at Willy Wonka Disaster Says Even the Script Was AI-Generated

    Jump

  • I like to imagine that this whole event was the result of the first truly rogue AI that generated its own plans for an event, sent out the necessary emails to hire the people to put it together, and everything in secret under its creator's nose.

    It probably isn't that, though. Because even AI wouldn't fuck up this badly.
