- Comment on Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations 3 weeks ago:
“you need to draw lines who is and who isn’t allowed in a division” No you don’t. You really really don’t. “competitive fairness” is not a justification for discrimination of minority demographics. You CAN, in fact, just let anyone compete. It’s not that big of a deal, and the inclusion is a lot more important than transphobic fearmongering.

No. Goddamn why do you people seem to think discrimination against entire demographics of people is justified with the weak excuse of “sports need to be FAIR”. I’m sorry but even if you limit to only cis people some competitors have genetic advantages others don’t. Inclusion of anyone who wants to compete is way more important. If you actually cared about fairness, and not discrimination, you’d want sports to limit who can compete against who by physical ability, not gender.
- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 1 month ago:
I’ve personally been using a raspberry pi with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I just run jellyfin in Firefox and navigate with the mouse - the keyboard rarely ever being necessary. I was able to increase the icon size so it’s acceptable on a tv and bookmark any streaming websites I use. It’s certainly not as clean as using something like an apple tv, but it’s serviceable and I don’t have to fiddle with plugins like when I tried Kodi. Honestly though, apple tv probably fulfills what you’re looking for like others have said.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
I’d like to know more specifics on those numbers. Because I Found that, for example, GTAV had a marketing budget of 70-110 million, so nowhere near the billion range even for large games. With a lot of popular games like BOTW selling over 35 million copies… I don’t think the marketing cost is an issue.

Yes, but only accounting for inflation really doesn’t tell the whole story compared to modern games. Games are primarily sold digitally now, meanwhile when OOT released all copies were physical cartridges - and that meant significantly higher cost of manufacturing and shipping. Also, games simply didn’t sell nearly as many copies back then as they do now. Being totally real, games don’t need to be more than $60 to turn a very very good profit.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 1 month ago:
YouTube doesn’t care if you don’t care. The more they show them to you the more likely they are to finally get you to watch them and they can make money off you. It’s not like there’s many alternatives to YouTube.

You might be surprised how many people do watch YouTube shorts. They force then on you because they make a lot of money off them.
- Comment on Mastodon is working to add the controversial 'quote posts' feature | TechCrunch 3 months ago:
It’s used in the context of a micro-blogging platform where your feed consists of individual posts that don’t show the whole comment thread. If I replied to a post on mastodon, my followers only see my post on their timeline unless they click on my post to see it’s context. A quote post can be used to present someone else’s post to your followers, with whatever you want to say about it.

The bubble would be the actual post itself, you know? Like having the full post within another post. Similar to what you just showed but clicking the bubble brings to to the original post.

It’s like a repost, but it lets you add your own post to it and shows the original post as a quote bubble.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 3 months ago:
The biggest advantage of federated social media is that there’s multiple servers. I know it can be a rough point for new users, but most people can just join whatever the largest server is and they’ll be perfectly fine. You need to pick a server because lemmy isn’t one website, and it shouldn’t be one website. People should be able to host an instance if they disagree with another one’s moderation/rules, and spreading the load across many servers helps to prevent large scale downtime when servers go down. All of these advantages can coexist with new users just being pointed to lemmy.world.
- Comment on Ryujinx Switch Emulator Removed After Nintendo’s Request 7 months ago:
It’s not “retro gaming” but that doesn’t make emulating switch games a bad thing. I dump and emulate my own switch games off my own switch because they tend to perform better via emulator on a PC. It’s really unfortunate to see Nintendo shut down what ultimately is the best way for us to preserve switch games long-term.
