Because there is value in a large group speaking with a unified voice to say "this is wrong, and you need to know that the rest of us think it's wrong. Your behavior will affect the relationship you have with us all going forward". Direct intervention isn't the only form of consequence.
Is it the best solution to the problem? No. Is it still worth doing? Yes.
Just a heads up, people should be wary of playtron to a degree: the CEO is a guy named Kirt McMaster. Anyone from the Android enthusiast community may know him as the guy who convinced the creator of CyanogenMod to incorporate (becoming Cyngn) and then drove the company into the ground chasing skinning and theming revenue, and wouldn't even allow the community to keep the cyanogen brand (they had to rebrand it to LineageOS)
Kirt sucks. He's a terrible leader and a terrible businessperson. I'm sure there are plenty of great people involved in playtron but with him at the helm of the company I am not expecting it to end well
Portion control. Don't assume you can handle a full joint after a t-break. When I'm smoking infrequently a joint can last me 6+ sessions and I'll be perfectly happy.
You're saying that the numbers displayed are indicating the % of polls that favor each candidate in that state, not the probability the candidate will win each state overall?
You're correct on all fronts, but I guess what I would point out is that those design elements were a staple of the FF franchise long before 7. It was another turn based strategy role playing game in a series of turn based strategy role playing games. With OOT you had a real time action adventure franchise with a game using design elements you'd expect from....well, from a turn based strategy role playing game xD
That's where I have issues with OOT in hindsight. It stumbled in executing on its own self-image, whereas FF7 did a better of job of understanding itself
OOT is objectively bad in hindsight, despite having played it like 20 times myself because of the place it holds in my memory as being something I'd never experienced before. Here's the argument: https://youtu.be/XOC3vixnj_0?si=xnuSdmY942tBQGpp
FF7 has its flaws but IMO is a better designed game
To my knowledge it wasn't his decision. It was Kathleen Kennedy. Poe was a favorite among kids and helped sell a boatload of X-Wing toys. He was seen as the "Han Solo of the sequels" and Disney execs all but forced Rian to give him screen time. They couldn't really reduce Rey's role so Finn got screwed
I'm with you 100% on everything you wrote here and I've had this argument with my brother countless times. He blames Rian Johnson for everything bad about the sequels and it's bs.
Personally I think the biggest thing TLJ suffered from was the split focus between Poe and Finn. It made both stories rushed or weak in various places.
And for that I blame Disney. Did you know that Poe wasn't even supposed to be a big character? He was supposed to be in the first scene of Ep7 and that's it. But execs saw his performance and insisted they needed his character to play a bigger role. As such, we get attention split between Poe and Finn and both suffer for it.
I feel awful for John Boyega who was such a massive Star Wars fan, got the role of his dreams, and then effectively got sidelined for a pretty-boy.
My solution for this type of situation is MicroBin running on my home network from a non-standard port, with a port knocker to open and close the port when needed.
My router handle DDNS so I can always contact my home network easily. I port-knock to trigger an iptables command on the router to forward traffic to the MicroBin host.
I also have my phone set up to connect via openvpn to my home network so that I can remotely do things like start and stop services, set port forwarding rules, etc.
On my Edge+ 2023, there is a tile in the pulldown menu for Dolby. It may be hidden; go to "rearrange tiles" to add or remove it"

The AutoEQ project is actively updated with a repo on GitHub. You may be able to download the "GraphicEQ" file from this page
Search that page for "Jabra Elite"
The DUMP setting can usually be enabled via ADB (simple connection to a PC). Instructions here if you search for "Enhanced session detection" on Wavelet's site
You can use WebADB without installing anything on your PC.
It's not just Moto. I dislike Dolby Atmos for everything except improving the sound of small speakers (laptops, phone speakers, etc) or when the media itself is recorded and mixed with it in mind
I find most of what Dolby does to be ridiculously bass-heavy and destroys the mids. That includes their headphones. You lose a lot of detail and the sound stage becomes muddy. It's plenty wide but so overwhelmed by bass that other details are lost
IMO it's overpriced basic-consumer-focused crap that takes advantage of people who think what they need is just more bass
Instead, turn that shit completely off and get an app called "Wavelet". Use the AutoEQ function with your headphones model.
The purpose of the AutoEQ is to return audio to "studio reference" EQ based on the measured frequency response curve of the model of headphones you have
If it still sounds bad to your ears then there are two possibilities:
The hardware is defective. You could try getting it replaced
Your old phone has settings that were so bass-heavy that your sense of what's "right" has changed
I recommend trying out AutoEQ on another device that you know works. Make sure that all other audio processing is disabled when using AutoEQ. This will give you a good baseline to compare against
On Windows you can get AutoEQ using EqualizerAPO + HeSuVi (a front-end for setting up EqualizerAPO to enable custom virtual surround sound and AutoEQ)
Don't forget there was also a bunch of government-backed troll farms shut down recently
