Don’t let lemmy become another shit fest that we just moved from.

Lemmy literally started as a political shitfest site. It's just now filled with the people from reddit too.

What the actual fuck?! 20 years would have been justified.

I mean it has a big bright icon that pops up, that's no different to your suggestion. Text simply being there too isn't any worse.

The entire point of speed cameras is to reduce speeding, not to raise revenue. Waze reduces speeding.

You do know that the entire point of waze is to give you alerts to things like crashes and roadworks etc, right? Right?

However, Waze says that to minimize distractions, it won't show these alerts on regularly traveled roads and will limit alerts on unfamiliar roads to prevent driver overload.

Hmm that seems like it’s out of context. They said that the goal at the moment is still growth, meaning they’re reinvesting everything they make on it in order to grow it. This can mean that if they stopped the reinvesting for growth it would be profitable.

Most gamers think esports are garbage.

The official mod tools aren’t out yet. Maybe wait until they are before criticising how tough modding is?

Worth pointing out that while Microsoft will pay each of the 20 teams $6mil if the league dissolves, each of those teams paid Microsoft (well ABK) $7.5mil to enter.

It’s a folding phone that looks to have the absolute best hardware of all the folding phones, and a very very smart big screen OS. That price seems fine compared to the other foldables? Reviews say it’s great too.

4/5 stars

The OnePlus Open brings what might be the best hardware on a foldable phone and enough clever software tricks to turn heads. It pairs top-end internals with some of OPPO's careful trial-and-error to create a debut foldable phone that hardly feels like a first attempt. Add in a competitive asking price, and the OnePlus Open just might give other foldables a run for their money.

This is like saying that because you can write a sentence in one hour someone else should be able to write a trilogy of 1000 page books in an hour too.

Does it count as tracking though? What private or personal data is it? I’d also say that it’s at the very least grey area since all they’re doing is trying to prevent people from using their service in unintended ways, ie without ads.

Their obvious solution to this is make you consent to it or you can’t use YouTube.

Yeh and they have no reason to put it on there. The “no steam no buy” people aren’t buying minecraft if it goes on steam.

Not when the features only come to apps on pixels and nothing else.

What do you think about this latest release?

Like the last few releases, it’s mostly a nothing release since Google put all their effort into pixel exclusive features now. I absolutely detest the current UI and how locked down the whole thing is becoming.

Do you think things are going in the right direction

Definitely not. Google are trying to make the pixels into iPhones, and they’re basically ignoring AOSP.

Is there anything you’d like to see prioritized in future releases

Customisation, especially of the UI. Let us change the size of the quick settings tiles for example so we can make them smaller like they used to be to have more of them.

Which device are you on?

I use an iPhone as my daily phone but I have a S21 Ultra and a Pixel 6 Pro that I use too.

What about it? You’re surely not going to try and use the literal best selling game of all time as an example of something are you?

RDR2 was 20% off within a month on pc.

Diablo 4 is the 4th best selling game in the USA this year. Sales are not an issue for Diablo.

Also Steam isn’t the only place you can buy steam keys.
