  • Terrifier vs The Sadness?

  • Glad my movie watching hobby can be helpful

  • Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice?

  • Not true. If you go through life being expected to act a certain way all the time that eventually takes a toll. OP is doing right by himself the same way everyone else does when they share things expecting they'll get a narrow and specific reaction from people. If you want to throw around the n word that's as good a place as any.

  • I think I'm a bit like you since I do that too. Everyone (even at work) knows that I don't want to see baby pictures and I'm not excited about a baby. I don't think much about having kids but parents usually really really love their kids immediately, even before they are born, and if they are close friend or family then I am ok vibing with that for their sake.

    The only time I've actually felt positively about it is when my best friend told me they were having a baby. It took me a moment but I thought then felt that I was able to be happy because he was happy and his partner (who I also like) is happy, and then it took me a few days of thinking about it that part of me was also picking up on this excitement because I wonder what my best friends kid will be like. And it's only because I care about him and his life a lot. I'm not close to my sister and have never felt those feelings before about babies/parents.

  • Using a halo style head strap the headset isn't pressed against your face so you can remove the foam pad. It's what the Quest pro used.

  • Samsung wants future phones to have no Settings menu at all

  • "Oh cool what are they thinking of?"

    Samsung is working on a new AI experience

    Fuck...

    I was thinking that every app would have deeper settings embedded (which seems worse) but I guess the idea here is to bake settings into the OS so only AI can access them. Would this allow for a lot more settings or a lot more nuanced settings?

    Gut reaction to AI in 2024 is very bad but I guess a part of me is still curious what they are thinking of doing here.

    This is also interesting because like it or not these companies already have a ton of knowledge about you and how you use your device and this may be a way for that data to be served to us in a useful way. I'd prefer they didn't have the data in the first place.

  • If anyone is jumping into this thread: ctrl+f "fake". There is a good discussion about the data that you shouldn't miss.

  • I ended up sideloading Kiwi browser and installing ublock, sponsorblock, and a gdpr tool. Much easier than I expected... much easier than trying to get linux to work.

  • Terrifier vs The Sadness?

    Jump

  • I actually paused The Sadness after the first scene and went to reddit to see if I was the only one who found this to be beyond what I could handle. I did end up finishing it but there are still scenes that are too much. I feel like The Sadness v Terrifier is similar to the comparison between american super-sized fast food and east asian gooey slurpy possibly still-alive food.

  • The forum I used to spend a lot of time on in my youth was incredibly active - comments all night every couple minutes. The regional areas where practically dead. What we need are thriving core communities not critical mass. I like not being bombarded by thoughtless and judgmental comments

    I'd guess that 50-100 active users could make any community feel vibrant. I've noticed when I post in a smaller community it can get solid responses (fast replies from a dozen or so users), but they die out after a day or two and people need to be posting all the time to keep it up.

  • At this point I've blocked so many .world communities that I don't see that as much. There are some users who I notice bring the reddit antagonism and I tend to block them too. If I come across a post that is full of reddit quips I just block the whole community. I guess I've blocked fewer .ml communities overall.

  • Ya it's not bad. In the popular areas it seems like I can get away with just commenting on things but smaller communities I need to make a post to make it feel not-dead in there.

  • why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through?

    Jump

  • I use mine for either hiking, skiing, or biking. Skiing I want as bright as possible and will have extra batteries, hiking I want it to last a long time and be lightweight (lower light setting), biking I don't want to blind people, and a red light for camp is nice. I don't like cycling through, a dedicated intensity button with memory and a dedicated on/off locking toggle would be great.
