Nobody at Google has heard of the concept that controls at the edge of the screen are harder to aim accurately at.

Interestingly, that’s the exact opposite of how it works on non-touch interfaces. The edges are prime control areas for pointer-driven interfaces.

Slight challenge to optimise a UX for both.

I would love to do something like this, except it’s way too goofy with the attached controllers.

Steamdeck in a tablet form factor would be perfect.

Yup, that’s what happens whenever “civility” is the primary metric used for moderation.

Trolls post heinous nonsense, and respond to people in the most insufferable rage-bait-y manner. But if anyone so much as calls them an asshole, they get their comments removed for saying a no-no word.

Brainworms.

Even without knowledge of the source of the image, there is no reasonable way a normal person interprets that message as a genuine threat of violence.

Because the picture of the “gayroller 2000” is very obvious satire from the known-satire comic The Oatmeal, originally posted to satirise conservatives’ baseless fears of “the gay agenda”. Seeing a pattern?

On the other hand, there a pattern of hostility, hatred, and violence from conservatives towards LGBT people. This pattern is both historical and contemporary, and currently it is absurdly common for LGBT people to be called “groomers” and be accused of being dangerous to children.

Gay people obviously do not want to run over straight people with a steamroller. On the other hand, the people posting wood chipper memes… Some of them would, and have, followed through.

I quite simply do not believe that for even a second.

Let’s not pretend that you actually give a damn about transgender people. This is just concern trolling.

I mean, sure. That’s not at all unexpected. But not even allowing the user to try at all, or making it unreasonably difficult to try, is very frustrating.

Place the option behind developer mode, with a disclaimer that features may fail and Mozilla makes no promises or guarantees.

But just flat-out denying the option, or making the user jump through ridiculous custom collection hoops is nonsense. In my case the custom collection method still failed, but the extension I was looking for does in fact work just fine, after installing it with the modified user agent string.

What’s really annoying is that a lot of existing extensions already work. Mozilla just makes it unreasonably difficult to install them.

Change your user agent (using Firefox Nightly and the user agent switcher extension, which is supported) and you can install extensions exactly as on desktop.

Installing directly from an .xpi is still seemingly impossible though, annoyingly.

If you are allowing a company that Elon Musk of all people is involved in to operate on your head, maybe the damage has already been done.

I’m all for transhumanism, and I sincerely hope that the people who are hopeful for Neuralink to be therapeutic for their condition find some relief. But nobody should trust anything Elon Musk touches with their brain.

Eyyy

I would have thought that such a feature would be completely uncontroversial. Really weird that some people seem resistant to it.

I see what you are saying about the bottom of the stick, but that isn’t the mental model of the people who invert the Y-axis. So that principle doesn’t really apply.

Consider it like plane controls. With the stick in a neutral position as pointing “up”. Left and right are still left and right. But forward and back tilt the nose, which is forward, down and up respectively.

It’s not the same principle for both axes though. I invert just the Y-axis. For me, left is left, right is right, up is “back” and down is “forward”.

I use traditional on my trackpad. I did get forced into natural scrolling on another device for a while and it wasn’t difficult to switch. But I’m not going out of my way to switch. A trackpad doesn’t have the same mental model as a touchscreen.

Oh it did make everything crystal clear. If one isn’t gullible.

I can’t really relate? At least on my desktop. The software manager integrates with Flatpaks and upgrades them at the same time.

For most apps I’m going to prefer the usual way of doing things. But there are some apps that I actually kinda prefer as Flatpaks. Like Calibre I’m happy to install as a Flatpak. The updates are faster and it doesn’t add a whole host of dependencies that only it uses to my system.

Anyway, I will stop arguing. Apparently labeling google engineers as proletariat is an important topic in Lemmy, that users do with extra passion

You are the one who came in and insisted on specific labels. People disagree with you. Don’t pretend this was our passion, it was yours.

You keep saying that it’s bad, but you haven’t actually said why. Just this nebulous idea that standing together is somehow bad. Worker’s rights benefit all workers. And the more people demanding them, the better. Even more so if the people demanding them have greater access to the resources needed to actually make a difference.

Never once has “divided we conquer” been true.
