  Or just used an auto-upscaler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's AI Secretly Copying All Your Private Messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it is nowadays compared to PWAs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Goo 2 is out now on Steam and a great pick for puzzle game fans⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the soundtrack as good as the first?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You call it unrealistic when that’s what every single one of my characters did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dragging them on Mission Control hasn’t worked for my apps. I’ve had to exit fullscreen, move screens, then reengage fullscreen.

  The double-click to maximize often doesn’t work. Many windows either do nothing, or resize only to a specific size, or maximize only vertically. Totally not infuriating.

  Rectangle is the tool I use to make windows behave.

  M4 Pro user here. “Full screen” on Mac means turning the current App window into a new temporary virtual desktop, which is placed after your normal virtual desktops. It also turns off the status bar / app menu, even though you don’t get that screen space back because of the camera notch.

  How many virtual desktops you have and which one is active is specific to each connected display, so I hope you’re good at remembering their order and purpose and don’t mind performing several gestures to get back to your app.

  You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you do need third-party software to do that properly.

  I wish I was kidding about any of this.

  But I thought we were pretending to care about states, not individual voters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Noo we just want this specific instance of deregulation because… uh, it theoretically might help small businesses!

  Also why would you even care about anything other than short-term GDP increase. Are you some kind of communist?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Goo 2 is out now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The first one holds up completely to this day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla's "Predictive" Odometers Had 9+ Drivers Complaining of Inaccuracy Before Lawsuit. We Even Found Video!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely not your average car owner, more like your average shady used car salesman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Rectangle, AltTab, LinearMouse and noTunes off the top of my head. And homebrew underneath of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  pdfSAM. OBS. Veracrypt. A bunch of macOS usability tools that I am definitely taking for granted at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨zoomers are the new blooners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For the past 5-10 years it would have been his Insta addy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s use the Smelloscope!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We should call whoever sends these PMs The Fediverse Dick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t about recommending an instance but a community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just to drivers.

  There’s nothing more annoying as a pedestrian than a vehicle whose driver has seemingly decided to run into you because they 1) didn’t think to use their signals and 2) mostly just checked for car traffic until you’re right in front of their bumper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History never repeats itself but it rhymes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It just actually looks like shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silksong release date confirmed for 2025⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Furious at the FCC, Arkansas jail cancels inmate phone calls rather than lower rates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Politicians and lobbyists.

  And we allowed it because “who cares, they’re criminals”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I agree. I’m just not there because twitter was never my thing. Keep up the fediverse propaganda, comrade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that it really has going for itself is that it simply isn’t twitter. And Muskler made sure that’s a huge deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Futureless or featureless?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And even then there was significant support for the nazis among influential white people at the time. America’s principled opposition to fascism has always been a retcon.

  Though while I don’t like how it completely blinds Americans to the dangers of homegrown fascism, I will say there are much worse stories to base a national mythology on. In that sense it was nice while it lasted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately he’s following the playbook of people who do know how to do things and accomplish goals. And they were much better prepared this time than in 2016.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honey’s base business model probably falls apart without some linkjacking. You go to a website to buy something and it says no no go buy it from these people instead.

  That’s not what Honey does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Talos Principle: Reawakened announced that rebuilds and expands the original in Unreal Engine 5⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It did look rather ugly in places.

  Some people don’t care at all and that’s fine, but for others poor textures or aesthetics break immersion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But thats all Dan Harmon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mark Hamill may not own a comb, but he does wash his hair at least.

  I think they mean the vacuum part.

  To which I’d add that we had astronauts perform this experimentally on the surface of the moon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indonesia bans iPhone 16 over Apple's investment plans.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no mention of anyone breaking phones. It doesn’t even make sense on a technical level. Where the hell is this claim coming from?
