Lmao my femdom, math undergrad fiance in a nutshell.

I work on robotics and drones for the military and we use game controllers for teleoperation all the time. There are some times we use more rugged and robust controllers, but they are essentially just expensive, yellow Playstation controllers with e-stop buttons on the bottom (look up Fort robotics controller).

I think you’d be surprised at how often the military uses game controllers for mission critical tech. The convergent design of game controllers has kind of solved the problem of minimal, handheld, input-output machines that are capable of commanding difficult procedures.

Need.

Still cis tho

Personally, I’d rather my open source, decentralized software be developed by a nearly fanatical communist than a slimy entrepreneur/capitalist. Either could try to pull the rug out from under you, but at least one is internally consistent until then…

I hate wireless charging too, though. It’s inherently less efficient than wired, and you have less range of motion while charging. With a wire, I can still use my phone while it’s plugged in. Wireless charging needs to go away imo.

I hope everything just becomes brushed aluminum ffs. I hate all these glass back phones

Honestly, regarding the fewer restrictions thing, why do we still have rules against not sharing links? What’s gonna stop the community since it’s more free from authority?

I appreciate the suggestion, but I thought the same thing and tried switching from Firefox to Chrome and got the same problem. Even updated both browsers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah my bet is on Barry Bama who looks curiously like Obama but with a mustache and glasses on.

Speaking of superstonk, is there a good superstonk or wsb personalfinance lemmy community? I am subbed to the beehaw finance community, but it’s really not a tube yet and seems to be a bit more economics leaning than pure personal finance or investing.

The subs I spend a lot of time on were FIRE, financialindependence, wsb, and personal finance and I miss them lol.

Also what hasn’t been touched on very much in this thread is the increase in interest rates from the Federal Reserve. The money hose has shut off and expansionary business policy won’t work for the foreseeable future even disregarding a recession. All these internet companies have developed and grown in an essentially 0% interest rate environment that rewarded growth beyond all else. With rates increasing, investment in risky companies that may or may not grow is becoming a less attractive option when you can just buy a 5% bond and so I bet a lot of these non-profitable, growth-focused web companies are seeing liquidity dry up and are having to reach profitability to avoid bankruptcy since servicing new debt in this current interest environment is basically impossible without solid cashflow and a clear corporate vision.

This is leading to all these companies suddenly raising prices, cutting staff, choking competition, and cheaping out to try and break even instead of grow. It’s a paradigm shift.

Well, there are only 6 posts as of right now. I started it because I was gonna miss it too. I also have some experience running a role reversal instagram account.

I can’t get kbin to “install” on my phone as a pwa. When I click “add to home screen” I just get a blurry icon and the navbar at the top of the page is still there. Am I missing something? Lemmys app and higher user count is what got me to settle on it instead of kbin but if I could get the pwa working I might give kbin a fairer shot.

Boost is what I have been using for years on android so this makes me super happy to hear. I’m gonna miss boost. I even donated to the dev a few times because I appreciated the app so much and he was very responsive when I wanted a new image hosting site to be supported within the app display.

If on android, there’s Jerboa for an app. Kbin is working on an app iirc. It’s all open source too, so if it really picks up there will probably be a few others that pop up eventually.

There’s lemmynsfw instance trying to jumpstart the nsfw communities. That’s about it so far. I also miss the ability to either sort by or filter out NSFW.
