Lmao Putin bros on suicide watch. Stay mad.

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 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.

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

I honestly bet ESVI just started actual, large scale development recently. Like within the last year as Starfield is wrapping up. We aren't seeing that game until like 2026-2027 imo.

We might have actually gone from the last Space Shuttle flight (July 8, 2011) to the first moon landing since Apollo (2025-2026) before ESVI is released. Crazy.

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.

Lmao my femdom, math undergrad fiance in a nutshell.

I think eventually storage density will scale beyond data size growth and we will reach a point where even videos are nothing and then distributed video hosting will be possible, but it's probably a ways off. Think about how much it took to just store text files or music like 30 years ago vs now. We aren't there yet but it may happen.

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.

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?

Need.

Still cis tho

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.

Yeah this screams GenZ. I respect it.

Fucking based, OP. Chromium users blown tf out

Rarely in my line of work but we do do it sometimes. To your point, outside of what I do I'm not sure how often game controllers are used in situations like passenger flight or submarines where you can't just mash the e-stop button and bail out.

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.

All these companies are ran by fucking idiots that don't understand the world or economics.

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.
