Agree tbh
Dang, it, uh, keeps getting bigger.
I’m riding my 12 Pro Max out until the wheels come off. It’s still very much a champion 2 years in.
My partner needs a new phone though. Time to figure out how much she cares about an extra camera lens

discord is trying to re-invent forums, badly:
1) user still has to join a server to see the forum
2) not publicly searchable via google or other search engines
3) can't really think of a #3 but i'm sure i could if i had more time
it's like the absolute dearth of discoverability, which is the reason to have forums in the first place
with how discord is planning to implement them, they only serve to provide a different/better way to organize threads for already existing communities
but you have to be a part of that community already. you can't just stumble onto one when trying to google certain search terms to get a question answered

By Daz Go To PostDiscord is shit - my mind reels t how it has become so popular.it is extremely useful for keeping up with friends and playing games with them while shooting the shit on voice
it's a more community version of the IM clients of the past, with a focus on gaming. it being very popular makes complete sense to me.
By Daz Go To PostDiscord is shit - my mind reels t how it has become so popular.
There was software before Discord with better quality audio for voice and so on. But it wasn't very user friendly or easy to setup or you had to rent a fucking server for it.
Discord makes all that shit easy. We have 10 people or so who play counter strike together sometimes? Make a discord and make a @csgo tag so everyone will be notified if people wants to play. Also takes a click or two to start streaming if you need that.
Then of course it also started being used for other stuff. Guides and links on how to hack your switch and setup the homebrew store? There's a channel for that, and if it is removed, it comes back quickly unlike a forum or whatever.
I just dont see what other software there is, that does the same right now.

iOS 16 has been brutalising my battery, and apparently a lot of other peoples too.
Stage Manager on iPadOS coming to non M1 iPads but still crashing all over the place.
Dogshit round of OS updates

Not tech related but holy fuck the new verge layout is awful. Besides Ars Technica, any other good news sites for tech?
By Haziqonfire Go To PostNot tech related but holy fuck the new verge layout is awful. Besides Ars Technica, any other good news sites for tech?They attempted to go full Bauhaus on a fucking blog. Readability needs to be your #1 UX priority and they fucked it. The two column layout with the right column being so dominant in size of random/useless things and a bunch of negative space, plus a ton of font hierarchy issues.
ALSO, why is the homepage dark theme but the individual content pages on a white background?

Why does it feel like a god damn puzzle navigating their website lol.

Apparently YouTube might lock 4K behind YouTube Premium, lmao.
yea im not paying for premium. if it was a reasonable price i wouldn't even mind but it's $15.99 or something per month.
and for what, for youtube to recommend me the same shit over and over? Oh we saw you watched a car detailing video, here's 300 more. Remember when you watched that food recipe? your recommendations are now gonna be flooded with every video they've ever made

Yea the ads are insufferable. I wish it was cheaper or at least a family plan at its current cheapest price.
it does come with youtube music tho? no idea how good that is but i only use spotify to listen to full albums so it will certainly do.
It does. But I've never used YT Music. I kinda refused after they killed off Google Music and pushed you to YT Music for no reason. Same library, same UX, different name.

i did use google music but then all my friends posted their spotify year end thingy and i got fomo
and i'm a sucker for stats.

Spotify sucks man. I'm so tired of their algorithm driven approach trying to sell me on playlists, podcasts, and now audibooks.

By Pedja Go To PostRIP Google Music the 🐐Being able to upload your own personal tracks and link them to your friends for them to play on their device with no hoops to jump through was so fucking awesome.
The real 🐐 is Rdio whom Google Music ripped off. They also were some early innovators in the UI/UX sphere and you still see a lot of their influence today.
By reilo Go To PostSpotify sucks man. I'm so tired of their algorithm driven approach trying to sell me on playlists, podcasts, and now audibooks.Breh it's so bad now. Spotify has fallen off so much. They try to drive you to playlists instead of just songs. I don't get what they are aiming for.
YouTube ads are so ass. They were already bad before, they’re even worse now. I’ve been getting like 10-12 ads for an 8 minute video, which is just nonsense. I’m not paying $15.99 for YouTube Premium, that’s idiotic. I just use Apple Music for music because I hate Spotify’s algorithm nonsense, and generally I don’t listen to playlists but prefer full album listens and Apple Music’s UI is better suited to that kind of thing.

20 minute video will take you 1 hr and 15 min to complete
You can get YouTube Premium really cheap if you use a VPN. Unfortunately it requires you to make a new account. Personally I purchased the 1 year deal so it works out to $9.00 USD a month.
By reilo Go To PostJust wait til they go full on NFL and give you ads with a paid tierImagine getting ads even after paying money, like cable? No thank you.

By diehard Go To PostI thought Premium was $12 a monthIt’s $15.99 in Canada.
edit: Mine is $10 a month
By Lunatic Go To PostBreh it's so bad now. Spotify has fallen off so much. They try to drive you to playlists instead of just songs. I don't get what they are aiming for.Sponsored playlists so they make more money from deals worked out with recording companies. I assume, anyway.
