ada@piefed.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?English10·8 minutes agoI use a Galaxy fold, and honestly, you can take my folding phone from my cold dead hands, because there is no other way I’m giving them up.
It feels like somewhere in the Glasshouse Mountains, looking towards the Sunshine Coast, but I can’t pin down where.

Museum quality! A prime example of early internet meme culture meeting classical art. Would fetch top upvotes in any respectable meme antiquities auction!
What you’re describing is very common. Once we have finally accepted ourselves, the dysphoria, which was often an all pervasive background noise becomes sharper and more focused. Not necessarily stronger, but the focus changes, because now, we know what is going on, and we know what we want, and not having it, makes things stand out more.
The silver lining though is that now, you have answers, and when the opportunities present themselves, you know what you can start doing to help. When it’s background, directionless dysphoria, it’s not as sharp, but it’s also not something you can do much about. Now, you can do something about it. It might not be quick or easy, but you have a path forward!
ada@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Games@sh.itjust.works•When will the next "E.T." moment happen in the industry?English4·2 days agoWhat I mean is that they are trending towards being a smaller part of the overall market year over year.
ada@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Games@sh.itjust.works•When will the next "E.T." moment happen in the industry?English10·2 days agoI mean, it’s already happening. AAA games are less common, and aren’t doing as well as they used to, and the AAA studios are drying up. In its place, we’re getting more indie games, more games from small development companies, and they all come at cheaper prices.
Consoles aren’t immune to that, they’re just delayed in their reaction, because the barrier for entry is higher for indie developers. But the prices that people are willing to pay on PC games isn’t going up, because there are plenty of non AAA options available for less, and as that becomes normalised, expensive consoles will falter. Their flagship games will command a premium, but they won’t be able to build up the game library they need to stay competitive with the PC market.
And don’t forget, Steamdeck and the like are out there now, which directly challenge the niche that the Switch sits in.
I don’t think we’ll get a “moment”, but I think the trend will end in a similar way

Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"English5·2 days agoPeertube is also a thing.

ada@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Suggestion: If votes aren't private on Lemmy, own it and show what users up/down voted.English6·2 days agoThe difference is that voting is not publicly available, so people can’t be judged for their voting behaviours, however, down voting bots etc can still be identified and banned by their home instance admin.
That being said, I don’t like the feature, and would disable it if I could
ada@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Pineapple on pizza is always hotly debated, but do you think Pineapple belongs on a burger?English2·2 days agoI’ll eat pineapple on pizza, but not on a burger.
I’ll eat beetroot on a burger, but not on pizza.
Pineapple is the reason I don’t order burgers with the lot.
ada@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"English111·2 days agoI mean, if your requirement for a youtube alternative is that it’s as big as YouTube, you’re just guaranteeing that there will never be a YouTube alternative…
