Oof, yeah I’m pretty picky about some keybinds and games that lock down keys can be almost unplayable.
Helldivers 2 doesn’t let you remap interact to F (which is the only muscle memory interact key I can use) and I haaaaate that so much. I had to get a workaround just to fix it.
Right? It’s silly.
When I first signed up I joined a few different instances, and immediately noticed that I was happier in places where downvotes are completely disabled. I wish more instances would disable them too.
Hmmm, I’ve never noticed what you mentioned on my recent phones. That said you should test a newer android yourself before making a purchase!
More of my personal experience… I have a Pixel 7 XL and a work Iphone which (edit) is an Iphone 12. Generally they are the same in terms of having no scroll lag or input lag at all. But, there is some lag on both when they are overheated, especially on the Iphone if I put it on a higher power charger (I trickle charge both when I can).
From a design perspective the biggest difference I notice is that my Pixel feels significantly smoother because of the 120hz display, and just the larger display in general. While I said neither of them have much lag, the Iphone feels noticeably less speedy. That said, I’m sure if you compared my Pixel to a high end Iphone results would be flipped. My work isn’t shelling out for whatever pro max stuff they sell (and neither would I!).
Beyond that, I can’t offer guidance. In my personal experience the Iphone UI is so frustrating that I can’t judge which one performs “better” or not, because only the Android feels comfortable to me. Between that and the lack of labels in some places (like the pull-down settings menu) it is impossible for me to daily drive the apple.
What’s really happening here is that advertisers can use the Reddit Ads Manager to create normal user posts and then pay to make them appear prominently on the site and in the app as promoted posts, aka adverts.
Look it’s not exactly revolutionary or new, google search has been littered with promoted ad results for years. But I still hate it. Fuck off, reddit. No respect intended. Icky. So glad I stopped using it.
I agree that pi-hole is an option here, but yeah, the reality is that most daily users don’t even know what it is. At least, not yet.
Adblock Plus and it’s betters became ubiquitous in large part because they were so incredibly easy to install. As easy as gramma accidentally installing yet another yahoo toolbar on accident. Like, too easy.
Pi-Hole isn’t hard to install, and there are some fantastic guides to help users get it running with essentially zero prior knowledge. But in my opinion, I think until it gets closer to “push-button” easiness, pi-hole and systems like it will really be limited to the <5% of users motivated enough to go through the steps, who aren’t mortified of logging into their router’s admin page. I want us to get there faster, and we’re a hell of a lot closer than 10 or even 5 years ago. But we’re not quite there yet.
Edit-typo
Check!
Also, I forgot all the tomfuckery he pulled with starlink in Ukraine, cutting off access and the like.
It’s truly a testament to how much shit this guy has done that we forget so much of it.
Literally only the best strategies here! I mean lets recap:
10/10 solid buy, gonna grab some long calls rn. The koch boys and rupert murderjock must be holding back a tsunami of jealousy by now 🤣
Free Geek here in Portland OR used to do this. Might still be doing it too, but I haven’t been back there since 2018 so I’m not 100% sure.
But yeah, the last I was there, you could walk in and just buy a refurbished laptop or desktop with Linux on it. They would even give guidance on what people needed if they weren’t tech-savvy.
Earthen walls are also effective at keeping our trolls, though obviously then you have an earthen wall to stare at so it may not be what you want…

Hell yeah lol
Oh no. Anyway…
Seriously though, if it doesn’t come out on PC it probably means I won’t be missing anything for the first couple years it exists. I can’t recall an exclusive that I felt I needed right away.
Especially the old-school ones. Halo is just so much better on PC, especially now that I can torture my friends with brutal legendary difficulty mods for halo 3… Good times.
Ooof, I’m sorry about that. Yeah, as much as I like the idea of PHEVs getting the best of both worlds, it also means risking the worst of both as well. Ultimately if the manufacturer cheaps out in the gas engine it’ll be a rough experience no matter how good the EV side is
This tracks with my anecdotal experience. The EV drivetrain on my 2017 model 3 has been bulletproof, but I’ve had plenty of issues with Tesla’s poor build quality in other areas. Here are the notable examples:
Tesla had to replace two control arm joints that were poorly designed and didn’t seal out water, so they started squeaking/creaking extremely loudly
Two repeater camera assemblies that also didn’t seal against water well enough and stopped working
A faulty frunk actuator that locked the frunk shut (no, there’s no manual release except from inside the frunk lol). I don’t keep anything too valuable in there now.
So many software bug fixes. I’ll add to that, the original Intel computer just wasn’t good enough for this car needs it to do and it shows.
Honestly this isn’t too much worse than some of my ICE car experiences. I had a brand new Subaru Crosstrek which just kept going back for software updates (not having OTA or at-home usb updates SUCKS) as well as a pair of recalls around the engine. In one of those, the Subaru dealer nearly destroyed my engine by fucking up the timing chain alignment entirely on their own. Fun times.
No, I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to make it sound like being vague was a bad thing. I just wanted to make it clear that I can only speak to my perspective. It is 100% fine to be worried about being identified online.
My acquaintances (or friends)…
At some point you’ll need to ditch those “friends.” Real friends do not behave like that. Real friends will genuinely listen to you. That is part of the definition of being a true friend, not my expressed opinion.
Not sure where you’re currently living as you didn’t say, but where I am (US) the conservative chunk of the nation is generally hostile toward any type of minority and will happily spread lies about them. Some “progressives” will as well, honestly some are progressive in name only and are just as bad. As an LGBTQ person I’ve had to cut people out of my life because they chose that cult of intolerance over being able to be a fucking human and listen to people’s problems.
Difference is I have the luxury of being able to hide that status at work by not being visibly out. I know things would be much harder if I wasn’t able to mask my status. So, I know it doesn’t fix anything, but I’m really sorry that people treat you that way.
The only two places I proactively remove leaves are the street drain (to prevent flooding) and my roof. Maybe the sidewalk if I’m feeling adventurous.
If they’re in the lawn IMO they’re not a problem. I’m honestly shocked anyone even has time to fuck around with taking/collecting them, regardless of how they look.
HOAs are a cancer that drive people out of good homes.
Agreed. I started out with r-pi for the TV and and refuse to ever go back to just the smart-TV or stick interface. I’ve since moved on to more powerful HTPC/dedicated game server PC so I can host games for our friends but I still have the r-pi.
Honestly as nice as some of the smart TV or smart stick functions are, they’re only nice because they’re zero-effort. For just a slight amount of effort and no technical knowledge you can have a much better and safer setup.
Seconded. Learned this the hard way. Even using a microfiber to scrub it on won’t help because bkf has grit/grit-like stuff in it that can wear down and flake off the coating.
