- Comment on Mastodon Says App Downloads Up 47% on iOS Amid Twitter Exodus 2 months ago:
you need to know what domain your friend uses for email if you email them
you need to know your friend’s area code if you call or text them
you need to know the password that goes with your username on your computer
not blaming you for your friends struggling with this, just, ugh, how does anyone struggle with this?

- Comment on Kroger’s plans to roll out facial recognition at its grocery stores is attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could lead to surge pricing and put customers’ personal data at risk 3 months ago:
I’ve thought about Reflectacles too, but I doubt the cameras use infrared in a store that’s already very well lit.
Great idea though, and I hope they work on countermeasures that work with visible light cameras too

instance checks out
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 3 months ago:
Regardless, why bother running or using a short URL service? QR codes can easily hold a full URL and more, and QR codes are not (nor are they meant to be) human readable, so what’s the benefit?
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 3 months ago:
Why is that ideal? Seems more prone to problems if the short URL service shuts down or suffers outages.
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 3 months ago:
yeah, qr codes have different levels of error correction that you can specify, could very be well turned up to the max
or the url has a ton of tracking params appended to it for some reason

- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 3 months ago:
Gotcha. For sure the jump from 30fps to 60fps is a lot more significant than a jump from 60 to 120+
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 3 months ago:
All that stuff about exclusive games just sounds like sunk cost fallacy. I don’t understand how a consumer benefits in any way from exclusive titles, or how a consumer is harmed from having access to multiplatform games.
If someone gets a PS5 for a PS5 exclusive game, why wouldn’t they want the option to play other games on there as well?
I do ultimately agree with you though, the PS5 Pro is dumb - and neither the regular PS5 nor any Xbox seems worthwhile compared to PC gaming

60 fps is good enough to justify the upgrade? Could build a PC capable of well beyond that for not much more…
