My parents still have cable. The buttons are backlit, they turn on when you pick it up and turn off when you set it down. There's also a mic button you can hold down and talk to input text by voice instead of typing on a virtual keyboard with a dpad. Not rechargeable but two AAs last for a year so why bother with a battery that eventually fails and renders the remote useless?

Even basic remotes are pretty clever now

I was shocked at how often you just see people laying passed out on the sidewalk or sleeping on a bench. Japan is an insanely different place after the bars start closing. Was genuinely uneasy with how many people everywhere just had zero control of themselves.

That's not on Google Play so it doesn't affect it. I honestly don't know what the point of this is.

I guess my plan to hold out for the Pro to see if the regular console drops in price isn't going to work.

Vegetables don't exist as a block I can cut slices of, fry, and put in a sandwich.

Well eggplant does but if I'm buying canned spam substitute I'm not in the mood for breading something.

Spam is just pork sausage in a rectangle.

Every platform needs a terrible meme that never goes away. Reddit picked a shoebox full of semen, we picked cat starvation.

My university had student apartments, each had their own router. No weird rules since it wasn't the university's network at all, it belonged to whoever lived in the apartment. Full router access, connect whatever, put it in bridge mode and connect your own if you want.

To many, federation is a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist for them. In their mind, the early model of federation is like email, a problem that was "solved" years ago by having one corporate product that was much better than others (Gmail).

To add, on top of that, the fediverse is like if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there's nothing any user can do about it except make another email for when they want to email outlook users.

I don't think fediverse proponents know just how catastrophically this terminates their entire pitch in the minds of 99% of internet users
