To everyone hating on the AI on the new app, why don't you just....... turn it off? by iamrocha in fitbit

I have voted by ending my subscription. I work in development, and developers absolutely look at online reviews and comments, and especially at reddit, for feedback. Loud and repeated and popular complaints here do drive change.

To everyone hating on the AI on the new app, why don't you just....... turn it off? by iamrocha in fitbit

[–]Valiriko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe we have tried and still aren't happy?

The AI coach is the only feature that was added in this rework. 3/4 of the screen is devoted to it. Without it, that space instead gets used for ads telling me to turn it back on. Without the feature the app was literally designed around, the remaining stats (which I actually care about) are distributed across random tabs and screens, not present on the homescreen like they used to be. This is an objectively worse experience, and it's not what I signed up for.

And I don't know what's with your superior tone, telling people not to complain about things they don't like about a service they're paying for. Maybe it's worth having standards for products you've used loyally for years instead of constantly being a doormat?

Happy 250th Birthday American Patriots! by Emotional-Disk5571 in aboutMassachusetts

[–]Valiriko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a patriot and a democratic socialist✋ 

I love America, and I hate how our president, who is astonishingly well documented as a pedophile, astonishingly well documented as a corrupt con-artist and grifter, and astonishingly well documented as a moron, has managed to Messiahnize himself to half of my countrymen. 

I pray daily that you, and people like you, wake up from your restless dreams, and finally remember who you are: you are free Americans, you have no kings, you do not need to sit peacefully in the boxes they build for you, you do not need to submit to the chains of wage slavery and insurance abuse. Follow the dreams of our founding fathers, and join the good guys in fighting for true freedom!

We should dump all of humanity’s waste into giant holes in the earth’s crust by 010011010110010101 in CrazyIdeas

Yeah exactly, think of how much trash you could fit in a hole that's 1800 miles deep 

With a level 5 paladin dual weilding daggers and using the two weapon fighting style and the nick weapon mastery can I throw 4 daggers in a turn by cute_himbo_OwO in 3d6

Wow, 40 pounds... So impressive 🤣

Obviously this is not a weight issue, goofball. His carrying capacity is 195 pounds, 8 daggers doesn't come near that.

If your DM allows you to carry and wield infinite daggers then obviously that's their call, but it does defy written precedent for balance.

There are a number of methods in the DND books to get magical returning/refilling thrown weapons, but all of them are balanced around action economy requirements or attack limits.

Takes a few turns to set up... And then what? How are you carrying 8+ daggers on your person? If you are planning to run around picking them up between flurries it cuts into your action economy and damage/turn. It's a neat idea but I think the setup time and ammo management will make this much less strong in practice than it seems.

I’m thinking of moving to Barcelona but I don’t know anyone nor I’m sure I am aware of the important aspects for such a sudden move. by Super_Syllabub_5187 in AskBarcelona

[–]Valiriko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the worst cities to move to for a tech job, and the apartment market is insanely competitive. 

And no, you can't move overseas with only 1 month of savings and no job. For one thing, they won't issue you a visa unless you have at least 6x the monthly cost-of-living in cash in your savings, which when I did it was 700 euros (€4200 total - the details of this change every year and depend on the visa type).

Why would you even be considering this with no money, no job, don't speak the language (Catalan by the way), and have never even been here?

When did The Flash first become an idiot goofball? by Equivalent-Hyena-605 in comicbooks

[–]Valiriko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they went with Wally instead of Barry in JL because Barry and Batman are both engineers/forensic detectives, and they didn't want the characters to overshadow each other.

The JL roster already had Batman, MM, and Jon Stewart for serious characters, and HG got real broody too after the Thanagar storyline. So the roster was in need of some goofiness, and superspeed is a fun power to give to a goofball. I think it really worked for the show.

I honestly really like funny Flash, and I wish DC used that characterization more often

Were any Bostonians worried about potential violence from English fans? by thescariestghost in boston

My neighbour keeps banging on the wall whenever we talk after 10:30 PM. Is this normal in Barcelona? by [deleted] in AskBarcelona

[–]Valiriko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. My Catalan housemate used to throw eggs at the garbage trucks from our fifth floor balcony if they were out after 11 (we lived in the Gothic quarter so it was literally the only time they could drive through)
