You could call the mixtape Paws for Effect

All the creatures at those depths probably have zero vision. The world is all darkness.

How’s the flips battery life? Been considering it as an android handheld for Hardcore RetroAchievements.

Bartsbigbugbag OP ,

It depends what you’re playing on it, for sure. I Can get a couple hours of GameCube or PS2, and a few hours of older games. I mostly use it for the former, though I’ll occasionally use it for platformers that need more precision than the Analogue Pocket’s dpad Can provide. It’s still a mushy dpad, but much less prone to false diagonals than Analogues.

NewNewAccount ,

I love the Flip’s dpad. It’s basically become my dedicated Tetris machine.

I’d be playing PSP/Dreamcast/PS1 and before.

I’m optimistic. Seems to be catching on quicker than I’d expected.

This is for reading‽‽ That is absolutely insane.

I guess he found out that selenium script kiddies like myself can simply scrape the website instead of paying the api fees. It’s not as efficient — or maybe my scripts just suck — but you can’t beat free!

Or, more cynically, they’re making the app more painful to use if you aren’t paying for it.

KairuByte ,
@KairuByte@lemmy.world avatar

I could see that, yeah. It’s funny because I was just arguing with someone on Reddit the other day, claiming that making our own API using a scraper would be simple and easy.

I pointed out that scraping can invoke bans and is easily worked around by the service. Apparently Twitter doesn’t know how to detect scraping so just went with “NO ONE USES THE SITE FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES A DAY!”

It’s also worth noting that the “Hide Posts” setting also hides your posts too, so if you need to edit a post you’ll have to unhide it.

Yoz , to mildlyinfuriating in The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

I bought a 65" TV for $300 and good speakers. Never been to a cinema after that

ItsaB3AR ,

I got a $600 projector and have about 90 inch display ( can hit 120 if my apartment was bigger). No need to go to a cinema, overpay for drinks and snacks, and I can pause and pee whenever I want.

Yoz ,

LEGEND!

I have a very good setup at home but we still like going to the cinema once in a while, it’s more of an event and we don’t spend the movie with our nose in our phones.

We do select movies where it’s worth it, big action, etc. Last one was the new avatar in “4D” where they splash you with sprays, the seats move and you feel the wind, pretty cool.

christophski ,

Maybe you should have a no phones rule when you watch a movie at home? Seems like a good idea otherwise what’s the point of watching

lwaxana_katana , to risa in My disappointment is palpable

I really like both Keiko and Molly. Honestly I prefer many of the Keiko/Molly/O’Brien episodes to the standard “O’Brien must suffer”.

Brilliant move to help sell more ads on the platform: limit how many people will even be able to see those ads

toaster ,

I think the real money now is selling data for AI training. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting now from all these social media sites limiting API shit. We live in weird times.

substill ,

It’s weird. Social media seems to have gone from selling users’ eyeballs as ad revenue to selling users’ voices for automated content creation.

Hiccup ,

They should’ve tried selling ads to the AI.

Chat gpt, how do I exit a for loop early?

  1. take a sip from your delicious and refreshing Diet Coke ™
  2. order some hot fresh quick take out via Uber Eats™
  3. break;
givesomefucks ,

It’s not so much that there’s money in it.

Just that some of those AI companies are making a lot of money, and social media wants that money.

But those AI companies are going to try and find a new free way rather than giving up millions of dollars they didn’t have to before.

I just got a 3ds, is great for a unique experience

Bartsbigbugbag OP ,

I have the 2ds XL, and I love it. I’ve always wanted to try the 3D on the New 3ds, but never had a chance. Link Between Worlds is one of my favorite Zelda games.

FlagonOfMe ,

ALBW is so good! Really fun in 3D.

What’s that console on the bottom of the photo that looks like a 3DS, but isn’t?

Retroid Pocket Flip, it seems.

Bartsbigbugbag OP ,

That’s the Retroid Pocket Flip. It’s an Android emulation device. Can handle most things ps1 and older, and a good bit of GameCube and ps2 libraries also.
