Isn’t Mint a version of Ubuntu?

Using an Aux cable I have to crank my stereo up to be able to hear it even with my phone set to max volume. It doesn’t have an output level that’s a reasonable volume.
- Comment on she just doesn't understand me 5 days ago:
And the output from the phone is so quiet even with my phone at Max volume I have to crank my stereo up on order to hear it. Switching input from Aux to anything else without lowering the volume first is what’s going to damage my hearing.

So it would be effective at preventing your site from being used as training data.
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 6 days ago:
Not surprising. I had to remove my credit card information from Amazon because I kept getting automatically signed up for Prime without my consent.

“you have no bills, no job, no agency, no control. You are carried around to familiar and unfamiliar places at random whether you want to or not. Large unfamiliar creatures are constantly around you. You cannot communicate with your
captorshandlers, they only react when you scream.” - Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 2 weeks ago:
Because you think you have a full monopoly and everyone has no option but to put up with it.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 weeks ago:
People who have been in situations where having a gun would have made things better tend to not be around anymore to post about it.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 3 weeks ago:
There is no requirement listed that the assignment be written in English, or submitted on paper. An assignment written in Latin on the side of a cow (with a 1 inch margin) is not explicitly forbidden.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 3 weeks ago:
it merely demands a clear “reaction” showing they read the linked article & thought about it.
The student’s essay does neither of these things. The essay shows the student read the title of the article, not the article itself. I realize those as are the type of reactions we’re used to seeing on Lemmy, but a reaction showing they read the article would mention points directly from the article instead of just the general theme of “Trans people existing”.
Regurgitating dogmatic talking points does not demonstrate that the student “thought about it”. It reads like the student read the title, maybe the first couple of lines, then shut off their brain and said “trans bad because others tell me trans bad”.
Again, I realize it’s very common to see replies from people that did not read a or think about an article so this seems normal, but a collage level course is going to have higher standards than social media.

Do the Nazis ever claim they are intolerant of minorities because the minorities were intolerant to them?
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 5 weeks ago:
Group A: “I am intolerant of (group) because they need to go back to their own country and not live in mine.”
Group B: “I am intolerant of (group) because they don’t tolerate other ethnicities.”
This guy: “but who was intolerant first?”

- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
The article from July explains why Steam banned this game last month, despite Itch (which stopped selling certain games due to the payment processors) is selling it?
Who is this article writer that can see 4 months into the future?!
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
You claimed Steam banned this because of the payment processors. The same payment processors being used by stores that didn’t ban this. Seems a relevant point to the discussion we are having.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
Do the other stores hosting the game have the same payment processors?
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
Steam hasn’t banned adult games. That is proven with a quick search of Steam’s catalog.

the slippery slope starts somewhere.
You know slippery slope is a fallacy right? The “slippery slope” can also stop anywhere.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
When did I (or anyone else) exert pressure on Steam to not carry this? My understanding is this is a decision Steam made.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
I don’t know but don’t give up. Try reading my post again, take it slow, I’m sure your can work it out.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
That’s not how that works. You don’t get to decide what a store does and does not sell. Steam refuses hundreds of games a year, this one doesn’t get special treatment.
Saying “I understand why (store) would not want to carry this product” is not the same as saying “no store should carry this product.”

drawing a murder isn’t murder and drawing Noncon isn’t rape.
Drawing people having sex isn’t sex, but it is porn. Verbally attacking someone isn’t assault, but it can be abuse. Drawing a comic where someone tortures and then kills the president of the United States isn’t murder, but it will get the FBI knocking on your door.

The scene where a little girl asks to ride a naked man, and then rides a naked man? You don’t see why that might be problematic?
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
Considering there website proudly shows it is banned on Steam I’m sure this was done on purpose for the publicity.
Why did Epic ban it though? They didn’t get the ‘tainted’ preview version and normally love to have games that aren’t on Steam.

- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 month ago:
I don’t understand why these assholes insist on people working more hours. What’s the difference to them between 1 person working 70 hours a week or 2 people working a combined total of 70 hours if they’re both paid the same hourly rate?

Where did I say that?

What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things. Somehow game developers are exempt from this grace?
Would it be better if every piece of art was accessible like this? Yes.
Same goes for games. That’s what this thread is: it would be better if every game had X

I prefer the 4 circles glyphs that shows the appropriate face button highlighted. It’s device agnostic and helpful when I’m switching between playing on my Switch and playing on my PC with an Xbox controller.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
During EA for Hades 2 if you paused while fighting the god of time he would say “I control time here!” And unpause the game. It was funny, but if I need to answer my door I don’t want to lose my run. Thankfully that has been changed.
