What hobby was easier to get into than you thought?
  • When I got my first Rubik's cube, I never thought I'd ever be able to solve it in under a minute. I still can't, because it turns like garbage, but I got a 30 second solve on my MoYu cube recently.

  • Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but on PS5 you'll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app.

    That's the way on PS4. PS5 automatically sends all photo and video captures to the PS app on your phone. They disappear after 14 days, so if you don't save them within two weeks, then you have to get them with chat posts like PS4.

  • Reddit is so toxic
  • Phobia is defined as an irrational fear, dislike, or aversion. Take the word fear out. Someone calling you or your statements transphobic isn't calling you a scaredy-cat, it's an attempt to notify you that your beliefs about transgender people don't appear to be coming a logical, rational, or well-informed place.

    Not that I'm accusing you personally of anything, I'm just sick people using the flaccid "but I'm not afraid of them!" argument.

  • How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
  • I prefer wired for almost all cases. The reasons are threefold:

    1. It seems like the only Bluetooth headphones being sold lately are either tiny individual ear buds that are easy to lose or big bulky over-the-ear headphones. Right now, my preferred wireless ear buds are connected by wires to an around-the-neck device, and I'm worried I won't be able to replace them easily when they finish falling apart.

    2. Wireless ear buds are one more thing I have to charge. I already have to charge my phone, watch, game accessories, and vape. I don't need one more battery to manage.

    3. Latency makes it obnoxious to watch video with wireless audio.

    Right now, the only use case for my wireless ear buds is when I'm walking the dog and don't want to worry about the wire bouncing around and getting caught on my clothes when I've already got the leash in one hand. The only reason I use Bluetooth in my car is because my old car had annoying feedback when I listened on the aux cable while the phone was charging. I'm considering trying aux again in the new car because the latency on the car's Bluetooth is even worse and I've found myself watching videos in my parked car while on break from work.

  • What is your gaming "comfort food" and why?
  • Sid Meier's Pirates

    I have dozens of thousands of hours logged in that game, all because it's so easy to get in to and so hard to get out of. Just turn it on, do some pirate shit, then realize it's been hours and you probably should have eaten or slept at some point.

  • It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.
  • I saw all the announcements for Sync, and remembered that Sync for Reddit was my main app a long time ago. Couldn't recall why I switched to Infinity.

    Downloaded Sync for Lemmy today, scrolled past about 4 posts before a box showed up that said "sponsored content." Now I remember why I switched.

  • 3 browsers
  • I started a clean Windows install a few weeks ago. Upon first boot, I immediately deleted the program files folder for Edge in an act of defiance to Microsoft. I then realized I had no browser. Had to ask my son to put a Firefox installer on a flash drive for me.

    3 days later, I found out that winget exists.

  • Chris Murphy, CT: "Today I’m introducing a groundbreaking bill - the National Strategy for Social Connection Act."
  • Ah, I apologize, it seems I misinterpreted the top comment. I reread the thread, and now I see the link to an article about increased violence. I was looking at the thread by the context of the top comment's text alone, so I was interpreting your comments as being about homeless people and drug addicts in general. I still don't like the idea of prison labor as a solution, but your opinion makes a lot more sense when taken as a response to violent crime. I wonder if the other commenter in this chain made the same mistake.

    Apologies again for the misunderstanding.
