Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)

Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa

Reality: Nintendo sued exactly one emulator that was literally charging people to play pirated games

Seems about the same?

The best cheese temperature is fresh out of the refrigerator and I will die on this hill!

I downvoted it because it’s blaming the wrong entity; the real bad actor here is Apple.

The AltStore should be free and it should be available globally, but neither are possible thanks to Apple’s anticompetitive shenanigans.

Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.

The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…

Ah, you’re right! I evidently mixed up the expensive Apple accessories haha

My favorite post-Jobs keynote moment was the confused laughter when Apple triumphantly announced the price of the $699 Mac Pro wheels.

So disappointed they’re still doing the prerecorded presentations. The old live ones were so much more fun!

I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last

In keeping with the Siri brand, Apple has to make sure LLM-Siri’s underlying model is bad at everything

…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?

At this point, I feel like Apple is just playing chicken with the EU. If this isn’t “gatekeeping” (ie, the thing the DMA is supposed to prevent), then I’m not sure what would be.

Anyway, I wasn’t aware that GIMP UX suffers, I’ve never used anything else and am happy with it.

My argument here is that by never having used anything else, you wouldn’t necessarily realize how much better other UX choices could have been.

That said, I do have to give the devs some credit, as they have fixed two major issues, by adding single-window-mode and unifying the transform tools. Having each transform be its own separate tool was just awful UX IMO.

The biggest remaining UX problem, in my opinion, is the way GIMP forces layers to have fixed boundaries. Literally no other layer-based image editor has fixed layer boundaries, because it makes very little sense as a concept. Layers should solely be defined by their content, not by arbitrary layer properties set in a dialog box.

Honestly I feel like this attitude is the reason GIMP’s UX suffers. They’re so determined to be “not like photoshop” that they’re unwilling to fix some of their more boneheaded UI decisions out of fear that they’d be seen as copying photoshop.

I love the idea of this, but the only reason I check Instagram is to see what my friends are posting, which I couldn’t do on an alternative, sadly.

If Lemmy ends up with enough interesting content that it supplants Reddit as a source for vapid YouTube channels’ content, I see that as a win for Lemmy.
