With phones, like with other things, a bit of protective covering goes a long way.

Well at least this surely will be easily disabled and then not keep re-enabling itself when Windows forgets its own settings every couple weeks(!)

I wouldn’t be too comfy with b) either, as it sounds like a complete unicorn. At best, it’s hard to know the “quality” of that backing and even then there are ethical and legal liabilities.

“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.

What the fuck

Disproving them can work

No

Then what’s your counter?

Arguably best way to counter misinformation is non-platforming it. Mere provable facts and impeccable logic have a dogshit success rate.

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

MOAR!

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

… OK, but seriously, what the fuck is it? Marketingspeke is cool (apparently), I get it, but what does it literally do?

Lee-bruh. I don’t really see a problem.

I’m seeing a lot of uncited claims. If these are just conjecture or opinion you could be clearer on it. If they’re not, citing sources is probably a good idea.

Which inaccurate doomer myths? Because every time I hear this, it’s “well, I’m sure that’ll be ni-aaaaaaand it’s climate denialism”

Sure. They’re so “far left” (Marxist-Leninist, allegedly) they’re all the way up an unrepentant, fascistic, oligarchic, autocratic, right wing dictator’s asshole. Presumably the “logic” is that at least Russia used to be communist, and isn’t “amerikkka” (staggeringly witty stuff, huh?), but it’s pretty clear they’re just trolls - or nearly undistinguishable from trolls. That is not effort I’d recommend wasting on their dumb asses.

They definitely have some of the ideas of all time. The purported real ones, anyway, I’m sure.

I’ve seen this without the slur, but it’s still weird that people are out here trying to redefine specific, well-defined, unambiguous, basic, and universal English terms. Not as a metaphor, not even as a bit, or attempted point (luckily, as it wouldn’t have been a good one), just using a term in a way apparently nobody else ever does.
