It’s a nice story, but it doesn’t seem to be accurate to what happened - not at far as I found with some superficial research [1][2]. I’d be interested in any further reading you have on the subject.

Though what I read, the US were still pretty much shitheads. No big surprises there

You get used to it after a couple uses - as in knowing where to position and how much knob to use. It’s always uncomfortable if you aren’t used to it.

My kingdom for pre-EW SMN…

You may like this article if you’re ever really bored. It’s how a smart dude came up with the concept of negative feedback. I always thought controls was neat, but I couldn’t grok it

Also DSP’s a trip if you take that class later

E: Also thanks for the gl, but I finished that about 10 years ago now. That shit was hard, but the skills I gained were super valuable even if I’m not in the field anymore

Found anything particularly interesting in the field? I liked RF and then didn’t like RF when doing my masters, lol.

Same. Get owned, everyone else.

No-one’s obligated to read trash. I don’t read other tabloids in case they might have a point.

Because my files won’t be pulled because of license reasons. Also we’ve been watching plex for the past few hours without being affected by this issue.

I keep thinking about my MiL when I hear this song - “I don’t like him”. She was in the same circles as Bill back in the day - apparently he was not a nice guy to women. I turn the volume up when it’s on because the song’s damn good, but still…

Online services cost a lot of money. People don’t realize how much because VCs and corpos w/ deep pockets have been subsidizing most major services for a long time. Now that the free money period is more-or-less over, these services need to start paying the bills with their users - commence enshittification

There’s constructive criticism and then there’s

There’s a lot of people who just yell at you, people I’ve never seen, met, or talked to before. It’s weird. What did we do to them? Perhaps they just write it from a place of negativity and malice. It’s tiresome.

Coming from ffxiv, YoshiP knows what actual grievances are and what troll comments are. It’s not a “reality distortion field” to call jackasses, jackasses

With the “Xbox Extended Feature Support” option selected, you actually can map individual keys to paddles within steam. The problem is Steam Input/BigPicture has been incredibly unreliable for me within the past few months. I’m just glad I can make changes using the first-party software now.

Edit - saw your edit. Changed the post title to make it a little more clear

FINALLY. This is the only feature I was really missing from the microsoft app. Can finally put actions on the back paddles which don’t correspond to the face/trigger buttons

What changed is he started becoming more public. He’s always been a shithead. There were mentions of him abusing his employees back when I was in grad school in 2012. People on the internet just fell for his mythos and just kept ignoring signs to the contrary until he just…kept…talking… and couldn’t be ignored anymore.

Easy - Godzilla 1998. 28% audience score just goes to show the public has no taste

I thought the free awards thing stopped a while back. I’d be surprised if a lot of people still had them

I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn’t care less about namecalling.

• The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description…

• Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture “sticking it to the man” while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that’s still reaming them

• Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY’RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations

So… “fun” fact since I was following that shitshow at the time. When r/T_D got booted off reddit, they congregated to a site called thedonald[dot]win. That site later got renamed to patriots[dot]win. They were very much hyping up Jan6th in the days leading up to it and were absolutely looking forward to getting violent.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say reddit’s tolerance towards T_D was one of the root-causes towards what happened in J6th.
