  They took all the wrong lessons from the Destiny UI. (I find the Destiny version to be fine.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky: Voyagers update releases today, introduces customizable "colossal, fully furnished, completely bespoke Corvette-class starships"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The UI design has always been a weak point in the game. Through all the revisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uncomfortable Questions About Android Developer Verification⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Voyager is a fantastic example. I forget that it is a PWA all the time.

  I would love to see an interview with the team. Because you’re probally right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there should independent signing authorities that the major platforms honor. But that’s its own can of worms. Who runs them, is it the government? A non-profit? How do we prevent corruption of that entity, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For sure. Especially if you want all the modern features, low energy usage profiles, speed, compactness. Etc

  I can see why nerds that see what is happening in great detail go off the way they do.

  Whoa, this looks awesome. Great job on the UI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Was this strike 1? Was it strike 3 and the deletion is pending? It’s not the worst stretch of things, but it’s stretching it a little unless the deletion is pending.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No worries are directed at you. It’s just me lamenting how I keep going about things wrong.

  I need to touch grass, for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That didn’t answer my question. M

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Increasingly, I think people like yourself should be working to develop systems that don’t just use all this shit. Or systems that use the old shit that doesn’t have all of this modern baggage you speak of.

  I know it seems impossible. But it also seems like no one is trying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the law demand unsigned software?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I mean, we have yet to see an actual serious cyberattack right? Aren’t security needs going to increase, not decrease?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would Linux have to respect the certificates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually on your side. I was bringing up those questions to question why they would get upset with the clickbait label.

  Usually fans of these channels fall in line with the rhetoric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He has a huge bias against Macs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand, yes. Totally. Just like the Roblox vigilante stuff and the SKG stuff, etc.

  But this video and those examples are connected to larger systemic issues in the world and in the tech industry. It’s not just YouTuber beefs or relationship drama.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I sympathize with Steve and how he is, and how he goes about explaining things. And the style of making sharp points.

  But he’s also flawed, and knows how to play the content game. This is nearly just clickbait. And they flew across the country in service of his style of rhetoric.

  I honestly wish more people with audiences were just as pedantic and critical as he is. But he also has his own set of biases in the computer landscape. He is still a Gamer after all.

  I’m sure they are expressing repressed political speech there because the country they live in represses the traditional web.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Coming back to this thread later, I’m surprised that it’s mostly being negative regarding 4chan.

  I’m use to people defending it when it comes up. Even defending it to my face in synchronous spaces online. The dissonance always weirded me out.

  It’s good to see.

  It’s now clear you are spamming this across communities. Stop it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a garage. And it’s one of the ones that barely fits a standard sized car.

  It’s also full of stuff due to the house being super tiny too. The house has zero closets, no basement, single floor. It’s apartment sized, basically.

  Still no sort by magic huh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, I think there may have been some confusion on my part here. I’m fine with copyright directly serving individual authors and their families.

  I’m not into how that is expanded and abused by corporations.

  I need to not take the bait. 🙏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think they said a publisher was involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, the kid is fucked. We need public ownership of his father’s work ASAP.

  I’m just being silly and taking the counter view to the extreme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, we need to figure out how to kill companies first. They own the copyright in the situations you would care about.

  So, it kind of already works that way. If the company dies, no one is gonna come after you. Unless it was sold of to another company, that is.

  There is no limit to the stretching that can be done.
