thenewred, in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

The ability to reach every part of the screen with the thumb on the hand holding it

penquin, in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

Everything apple and Samsung helped remove from phones to squeeze mode pennies out of their customers. Headphone jack, micro SD card slot, ir blaster… etc

xarexyouxmadx, in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

For me it’s this (the color coded notification LED on phones) and while on the topic of phones I used to have a xiaomi phone several years ago that had an infrared face unlock feature so you could use face unlock in complete darkness. Haven’t had a phone with that before or after. It was awesome.

Vanth, in Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

By releasing a “Snyder Cut” every time, aren’t they saying he either can’t put a decent movie together or that the studio doesn’t trust him to? Lame gimmick that makes them all look bad.

If I watch a version, I’m going to watch whichever is shortest. Sprawling, slow meandering stories aren’t my thing and knowing Snyder, most of the extra length will be in unnecessary slow-mo shots.

JoBo, in Why is canned soup often so bad even though soup tends to improve as leftovers?

The can is used to preserve it and prevent the processes that would otherwise make it better.

Canned soup - which is a bunch of ingredients sealed in a tin then heated to cook and pasteurise it - is never going to taste as good as fresh ingredients that only need to stay edible for a few days, not a few years.

ElPussyKangaroo, in Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon?

I’ll be honest, it was fine. Not as “bad” as I kept hearing.

It’s meh. The VFX were good enough. The story needs tons of improvement. The visuals are definitely Snydery.

I await the Snyder Cut.

JustMy2c, in Why is canned soup often so bad even though soup tends to improve as leftovers?

They choose to use not only Cheap ingredients, but also a whole bunch of chemicals, many of them sweeteners (and add even MORE salt to hide the sweetness) and stabilizers. It’s not really rare commendable for human consumption if you ask me…

focusforte, (edited ) in What is your earliest memory?

I’ve got a memory from pre-k where I was basically refusing to participate in nap time and got kicked out of class and ultimately kicked out of Pre-K entirely. I don’t remember a lot of the details but I do remember not wanting to take a and then getting kicked out to go to the toddler daycare room something like that

ohlaph, in What hobby do you have that no one else in your family shares?

All of them unfortunately.

MigratingtoLemmy, in Will ublock Origin be blocked on chrome soon?💀💀💀

Unfortunately, Firefox is the best option right now, and it works rather well, unlike about 5-6 years back when it was horrible.

I’ll use Librewolf and Ungoogled-Chromium

nbafantest, in What do you like about liberalism, capitalism and conservatism?

We think that markets are by far the best way of organising most human affairs that involve scarce resources, because they align people’s incentives in ways that communicate where resources can be be used most efficiently, and give people reasons to come up with new ways of using existing resources.

A system is justified if it is the one that best allows people to live the lives that they want to live, or makes them happiest or more satisfied than any other.

cheeseburger, in Why do Lemmy users delete their comments?
@cheeseburger@lemmy.ca avatar

Maybe you’re noticing it more because deleting comments used to remove them completely from view including any replies, but I think recent updates to Lenny’s code changed this and now we see DELETED instead.

xkforce, in What is your earliest memory?

I remember being small enough that I took baths in the kitchen sink. And I remember exactly how uncomfortable that was.
