Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.

I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:

The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).

On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!

In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.

I know, Smart Fix updated their sign!

I want to hard agree with Apple that people are, in fact, too stupid to choose their own apps, but not following Apple’s greedy logic.

Look at the top apps and sites people use. The tech billionaires. It’s stupid as hell

Same happened where I am. They did this to some streets on the summer time, and changed an entire lane into an extra wide bike lane. They were so popular, they were kept year round.

The transit issue sounds bad, but the next phase is people demanding more weekend transit, then it will improve, too!

The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!

Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.

I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful

Santa’s Red suit was a staple, at least in American advertising, for decades before coca cola did it

5, but echo that it needs some workshopping

I apologize as someone who fully thought you knew it was a protest and were just being a snarky ass opposed to their cause and sent you a down vote.

Confused Portlander here. Why are these bikers fully clothed?

I really want to use Piefed, but Voyager app is so, so good

At least in the US, I’m absolutely destroyed that people just don’t care. They talk like they care, but they just fucking don’t. I don’t get it at all. They will gripe about how evil and bad something is, then just keep using it. “If everyone else is, so will I” maybe. Group Inertia.

I took my dad for cancer radiation treatment. While in the waiting room, this little old lady came in. I saw her struggling to remove a necklace and offered to help. She had really tangled herself in it trying to get it on (definitely in a “chemo brain” mind fog).

She answered her phone, and I heard a very obvious scam on the other line. I tried telling her, and at first she tried to explain to me that I was wrong, it was some kind helpful people. I took the phone from her and confirmed it was a scam. I told the staff at the clinic but that was about all I figured I could do.

This Ai maybe could have helped. Maybe.

I like fabrication going forward. Clearly made up, doesn’t imply intent

What they should do is convince a smaller subsection of reddit users to break off to a new site, maybe entice them with promises of a FOSS platform. Maybe a handful of real people and all the rest LLM bots. They’ll never know

Back in I think 2016, Google announced that Nest thermostat owners would soon no longer have access to the Nest app because they were migrating to Google Home. Well that sack of shit app couldn’t perform half of the functions. Users complained, and we still have the Nest app that still has additional functionality to this day.

Just a Google story that came to my mind

So here’s my uneducated question: Don’t huge software companies like this usually do updates in “rollouts” to a small portion of users (companies) at a time?
