This is such a bad faith comment. Im not a hexbear user but my instance is federated with them and ive interacted with lots of their posts. Go into any post on hexbear and youll see tons of examples of them disagreeing WITH EACHOTHER. they commonly have huge arguments in the comments and as long as everyone is civil and not arguing in bad faith noone gets banned and noone gets urt feelings. Stop lying and using hexbear as the lemmy boogeyman because its a bad look.

They tarred Ed.

Lots of controllers have gyroscopes these days. The ones I’ve personally used are switch, ds4 and steam deck, but I assume it’s a pretty regular feature on newer controllers these days too.

Yeah, and the ones that did are probably the bottom of the barrel.

I usually do this anyway to a certain extent, at least I kinda rephrase what I said, in case them asking ‘what’ wasn’t because they didn’t hear me but because they didn’t understand. Then if their brain does catch up they get two different versions of my message :)

Just buy an air mouse for $20 and you don’t have to get up to change episodes. Doesn’t help with having to unplug it from the hdmi all the time but that’s less of a hassle if you can just do it once when you start watching and then control everything from the couch.

Or they just made an announcement in 2021 about their existing content management tools and how much they’ve spent on them over the years. That’s how I read it anyway.

The kids are sick of this shit. Like he said, that episode aired 20 years ago. So for people who are 20, this shits been going on their entire lives and for all they know, will keep going on for the rest of their lives if they give in and accept Bernie. So a lot of people are understandably disenfranchised, and think maybe trump again will be what it takes to shake up the democrats, or make things bad enough that we actually get some revolutionary change. It’s really not that hard to understand.

Dictation in some cases sure, but it’s not really secure if you’re around people, and could also get weird talking to air all the time. I think if ar/wearable screens really want to take off were going to need an entirely new input method. Typing on a virtual keyboard is just so impractical, especially if you’re say on a train or something. I think it’ll be something like what I described, a lightweight wearable glove or fingertip sensor or something, and you input based on fingertip taps. You can keep your hands down by your sides while typing, don’t have to flail about in the air just to quickly google something or answer the text that popped up on your glasses. Or a physical little keypad that can slip in your pocket, but with few enough buttons that you can type without having to look at it, like t9 texting.

Oh yeah, I meant eventually, not with this device. I doubt this will take off honestly, the tech is too new and bulky and expensive still. If virtual environments ever do become prolific though, I doubt we’ll still use a visual representation if a keyboard at all, what would be the point.

I can imagine a return to some sort of t9 style typing where you could wear a thin sensor on your finger tips then tap certain fingers a certain number of times to enter specific characters. People who were used to typing with t9 could do it very quickly and without looking.

You said nothing is really free.

I just saw another thread where someone said they use sodium formate because it doesn’t fuck up their cars or concrete and is safer for their dogs. I haven’t looked deeply into it though.

You (and i, because i was also answering the comment above you) were responding to a comment that was talking about trying to embarass them in general, and mentioned that shame (in general) is at the core of their beliefs. And you never specified that it was only about how he smells. I’m done responding because you’re just argumentative.

You literally said that they don’t feel shame so I gave several examples of things they may be ashamed about. Your comprehension skills are not good.

It has to do with your comment that I replied to, which is generally how conversations work? I was directly responding to the comment you made.

They don’t feel shame about being assholes, they feel Shane about deeply held insecurities, which causes them to behave like assholes. It’s childhood bully mentality. They’re not ashamed of hurting others, they take pride in that. They are ashamed of their own perceived ‘weakness’, their internalized homopohobia, their lack of intelligence or work ethic, their perceived emotional weakness. All the things that they attack minorities for.

What the fuck, aren’t most buildings kept at 72? How do you exist anywhere except in a walk in fridge?

Thought it was gonna end up being a lobotomy, but that’s good too. Or just make politicians take a yearly psychologist assisted psychedelic dosing regimen.

I’ve been using a $20 air remote off Amazon for years now. The tracking is honestly incredible and the device is built like an old Nokia phone. I’ve launched it off the bed or couch hundreds of times, even had the plastic casing bust open, but when I clicked it back together it still works good as new, and it’s even good enough to play simple point and click/mousepowered games on the TV. The front is all media/TV controls and the back is a full keyboard, with a toggled backlight. It’s honestly so much better than any of the media center remotes I’ve used including the apple tv one or the firestick one.
