Yeah at the very best it becomes dull when they grew in sub members count. of course the worst outcomes are it became flooded with stupid memes, whining; if it’s something gaming related massive tribalism and Gamerism (iykyk), or larping ass mentality with gatekeeping tendencies and know-it-all way of posting.

I’m just mad that r/manybaggers have become boring of the same 5 brands being bandied about, and miss the more varied bags from 2016 (ish) from posters back then. even the mods is now not posting much, and I had a great time conversing with them back then.

I’m glad that my gacha addiction of choice, Nikke, is here and there’s some regulars. we don’t talk much and only posts fan art most of the time, but hey, at least it’s not as memey or whiny as the equivalent 3 subreddits

I usually stick to more low stress low “intellectual” posts to comment on. Like this post for example I usually wouldn’t comment because it has a higher chance of getting barbed comments. I definitely do not comment in political posts lol.

I want the good part of reddit circa 2015 - 2020, I think. At least that’s around time when I joined reddit and was active. They’re kind of medium - large size back then. Plenty of small to medium-small communities with niche interests and inclusive generally. Have sane rules and moderation

At least that’s how I remember it. Rose tinted glasses and nostalgia, on top of whatever side effect I got post covid time.

It’s a big shadow over my head for every time I want to post. Makes me always reread what I drafted. Then at the end if there’s a remote, chance it can bring in an argument, I just delete the draft and not post.

Thanks. As an ESL, somehow I never come across that short form despite being online as a teenager since the 00s.

How do I read “lgtm”? Legitimate?

Pretty much the same way “AI” i.e. artificial intelligence as a whole has been tainted. Even something as inane as character behaviors in a video game, enemy AI, you have to put up signs and shit it’s not about genAI. Let alone talking about using AI in more serious manner like scientific research.

Psycho-Pass mentioned!

I thought of Total Recall first, but yeah Psycho-Pass fits here as well

Edit: wrong sci-fi. Minority Report

That sounds lovely. It’s middle ground that I think is more actionable than printing CDs and boxes by GOG. Of course, if GOG also have some way to allow the game maker selling their own physical version like how bandcamp do for artists that would be swell too.

Especially for the good old games they wouldn’t need too big of a USB drive to have the game and digital manual and maybe digital art book and game OST on them.

Innocent even proven guilty

Muskoid will. It feels like it’ll feed his ego more than zuck, and will fight for it. zuck just feels like some alien. so if he’s buying dumped and ran reddit, it’s for the data. musk is a creepy pedo that even other pedos found creepy.

I’m refering to the flip models. I forgot if Huawei still makes them, but Google definitely doesn’t

And the Motorola RAZRs

I’m guessing Apple couldn’t really go nab engineers or use designs from the Chinese brands that also have done folding screens for a while. And I’m guessing Samsung wouldn’t want to give them without eating too much into Apple’s margins.

That’s a lot of assumptions on my part though, and you know how that goes.

Yeah, I would have thought that Apple would have gone to one of the few manufacturers that have done the engineering for them. There’s a few Chinese brands that have been doing it for years, as well as Samsung. The latter have almost a decade of experience making them now.

But I guess with the current US regime, Apple doesn’t have much choice.

I thought the first Motorola with grapheneOS have been confirmed and it’s not a flip form factor. And it’s flagship. This caused a lot of jimmies rustled. I understand why, because Motorola is more known for their budget offering, but I also have seen why it has to be flagship because there are hardware stuff that’s needed by grapheneOS.

The Pixels having the proper security hardware on their poor performing on benchmarks SoC seems more like a happy coincidence to me. I’m happy to be politely corrected.

And the G7 and G8 before the Velvet.

In fact LG was one of the few ones to try the dual screen phones. For them, it’s via add-on cases. Then there’s the Microsoft Surface phones. But then you have no choice because it’s always attached. They’re more like prototype current foldable phones though.

I really miss my LG Wing. The USB port went out first and I used to charge it only with wireless charging for a few months but that’s just not viable for longevity. No shop around here wants to take a crack at repairing it for me.

Genuinely the second small screen is so useful. I can have my navigation and music player on screens and not muck about as much. I can list more but now I’m ashamed as most of what I use both for are for media consumption lol

To me, it’s the aspect ratio of the screens.

This passport style ratio is what I want from such a device because that’s how all paper looks like in my country. We use the ISO paper standard being A sizes. They’re like the Goldilocks shape for books and media. Modern smartphones right now is closer to cinematic ratio of 21:9, but most TV content are still 16:9. Letter boxing is at the left and right side and I somehow dislike this.

This more bookish shape puts the letter box on top and bottom and somehow that’s more preferable for me.

It also fits a lot better with papers and documents as A4 paper size is proportional to the passport ratio.

I’m going by the assumption that the duo is following the ISO paper ratio though. IIRC the Samsung fold 8 outer screen does follow it, but due to engineering the inner bigger screen is 4:3, which is not ISO paper ratio, but close enough.

All this to say that a 7.6" screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio will not fit the same way with a 1:1.4 ratio for non progressive web content. And I prefer the latter.
