An old phrase that’s stuck with me over the years, although I forget where I heard it:

I like it when my code works first time. It’s like Christmas, but less often.

How is this not “related to games”? It’s a thing that has the sole purpose of enabling people to play games.

Oof. Thanks for that kick in the feeling department.

Best response I can think of. Starts out saying the reaction is understandable, then has a little light jab at the dad, and then talks shit about the son again for good measure. :-D

It’s a bit interesting seeing the before and after shots of where the dams were.

Yep. It felt like the beginning of something from a horror movie, but I still have both hands.

Audio latency with Bluetooth screws up things like music lessons in Duolingo.

A few weeks ago I was gardening with Pixel Buds on and one dropped into a pile of leaves. I spent ten minutes looking for the thing. Then the other day the same one dropped into the garbage disposal while I was doing the dishes.

I don’t mind the cheap Bluetooth headphones I have that wrap around my ear slightly. I can run in those without them dropping out.

When I want audio quality I use some over-ear Bose headphones.

I have no idea how people are ok with just the little buds for all use-cases.

Mine turns 20 in 2 days. Yikes.

Unnatural to me, that sounds.

If I’m a painter, let’s say, and I’m live streaming myself painting a literal portrait one day, and a literal landscape the next day, I have to stream in portrait regardless in order to have access to certain aspects of the platform?

That’s garbage.

After 3 or 4 months of continuously applying for jobs I’m ready for an AI (or just a relatively simple browser plugin) to start filling out the forms for me.

Those are fair points I hadn’t considered.

You’d cancel rather than just not listening to that content?

Edit: I’m just asking a question, wow.

I just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn’t fact check anything.

Here’s a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.

Seven eight five

Ah, I failed to realize you had used context that wasn’t visible. Makes sense.

I tried it with your username and instance host and it thought it was an email address. When I corrected it, it said:

I couldn’t find any specific information linking the Lemmy account or instance host “Mac@mander.xyz” to the dissemination of misinformation. It’s possible that this account is associated with a private individual or organization not widely recognized in public records.

Perhaps this was written by someone who says things like “I shouldn’t of went there”

The evidence is like a million textbooks from 30 years ago that all say there are 9 planets. Pretty convenient.
