Sorry that I am too lazy to watch the video, but what does the doc do? Just charging or video out as well?

If it is just charging, there are off the shelf docks already and DIY guides on 3D printing sites.

For systems that grade on a 1 to 5 scale, subtract 1 from your average grade to get your GPA (for example, if you have a 4.3 out of 5 average grade, you would have a 3.3 GPA). Not sure how to handle a grading system that goes from 1- to 5+.

The issue with South Park is that it targets a narrow audience and I am not part of it. The best episodes are going to be studied as master pieces of political humor, but when I try to watch it in season order, those episodes are sandwiched between episodes that are offensive and obscene just for shock value. I am not opposed to those episodes existing but watching them feels like a waste of time.

Assuming you have a card from a participating library.

You mean the fact that ICE parodied Pokemon cards? I imagine it would fall under “fair use”. Plus, a lawsuit is only useful if a court enforces it. A judge is not going to be awarding massive damages against a government agency over a joke

It seems like Massachusetts Best Buys did not get the memo. I hear all these stories about people hating Best Buy over pushy employees and have the opposite experience. The stores only have 1-2 employees on the floor and the duty of those employees seems to be to hide from customers. If I ever need help finding an item or want something from a locked display, I have to spend 15-20 minutes running around the store trying to catch a ninja.

Wasn’t that the Pocket Pair game before Palworld?

Perhaps they want the extra system resources to have a larger and more dynamic world?

And did they get any interesting results from the analyzer?

Both the ongoing strong sales and good availability suggest that Nintendo was prepared this generation and had plenty of consoles in warehouses prior to launch.

Judging by the little burb, this was a device that allows the player to control the d-pad by shifting their weight from one butt cheek to the other? Cool, I guess but I don’t understand why that is more immersive.

Is it an accessibility device being marketed to idiots to cover minimum order volume (like the Slap Chop or Snuggie)?

Keeping skin pretty is completely out of the realm of reasons for religious coverings tho

Isn’t it? I assumed that that is a big reason that religions that start in a desert demand that all members, regardless of gender, cover most of their skin in clothing

“Son, wear your long sleeve shirt. You know how prone you are to sun burn.”

“But dad, it is so hot outside and my clothes are so stuffy and I will only be outside for 15 minutes, tops.”

“Well guess what, son. I just spoke to God and he told me that boys who don’t wear long clothes outside go to hell. That is why you turn red and painful from sunburn, to remind you that you will roast in hell.”

So a Switch 2 game where you walk around the real world and catch Pokemon? I see a bunch of issues with it:

• The S2 does not have mobile Internet, so they would need to preload maps of the entire world and put out constant game patches to keep them current. Any multiplayer content will only be playable when the player is home (or by a Wi-Fi hotspot).
• The S2 does not have GPS. Would they track location by polling the joycon accelerometer every second and moving the player character 2 inches down the street? You would be to start every play session from a known location and keep the S2 running for the entire play session. Also, the longer you play, the more the errors in your location will add up.
• The S2 does not have a rear camera, so you cannot do AR, only a fantasy background.

Pokemon Go or Pokemon Let’s Go? I would love a new Let’s Go. I would also love the old games to be released on Switch Online (or stand alone) with full Pokemon Home integration.

They left entirely? Not just tuned out the group until the topic of conversation moved on?

The article argues that extremist views and echo chambers are inherent in public social networks where everyone is trying to talk to everyone else. That includes Fediverse networks like Lemmy and Mastodon.

They argue for smaller, more intimate networks like group chats among friends. I agree with the notion, but I am not sure how someone can build these sorts of environments without just inviting a group of friends and making an echo chamber.

If you read the article, the argument they are making is that you cannot fix social media by simply tweaking the algorithm. We need a new form of social media that is not just everyone screaming into the void for attention, which includes Lemmy, Mastodon, and other Fediverse platforms.

When I (rarely) browse without an ad blocker, I notice how much better contextual ads (ads based on the site I am looking at) are compared to personalized ads. For example, on Board Game Geek shows ads for board games, board game accessories, and board game storage solutions. On webcomics I will see an ad for another webcomic that targets a similar audience. Both types of ads are genuinely interesting to me and I click on them on occasion.

When I see “personalized” ads, they are for things I have absolutely no interest in. On a tech news site, I get an ad for hair conditioner (I have short hair and losing it). On a 3d printing site, I am sold t-shirts with pro-police slogans (the fact that I regularly visit lemmy should automatically mark me as a bad target for the product).

No, since I would expect Indie World would be an even bigger disappointment in that case. If the big third party developers did not present anything that excited you, what are the odds that a game made by a small, underfunded team will?

I am guessing this is the overflow from the third party direct. They sent out word for developers to send them trailers for upcoming games and got more responses than they wanted. The big name studios were put in the main show and this showcase is the trailers that were edited out for time.

Except they are not. Their car sales revenue is falling. Their plan to reverse it is to make their cars cheaper (crappier).
