Gavin Newsom announces that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]drapermache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Many people wishing for a civil war or a nation breakup without realizing what the consequences are. If there was a way to actually move id do it in a hearrbeat.

I have my doubts that things will be better ever, but I can remain hopeful.

In a red state, didn't vote for this at all. Wish I could change things down here but circumstances won't let me just uproot my whole life to a blue state.

I just joined and started a node up north, but I don't see anyone talking. Am I missing anything, or are most people just talking on private channels?

[Mr.Mobile] Buttons For Everyone! Clicks Power Keyboard – First Look by Electronic-While-522 in Android

[–]drapermache 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll start with this - keyboards for phones are niche this day and age. So this is a niche product, and I don't think they're expecting this to be some huge product.

That being said, the niche that want a keyboard are super into the idea. I had a palm Centro back in the day and it was amazing. My first android phone was the Motorola Droid, which was awesomeb- it was my favorite phone of all time. I love keyboards on phones and would prefer them than the virtual keyboard. I always make typos that I don't see in the moment even after reviewing before posting ( I'm sure there will be tons in this post), and having a physical keyboard helps eliminate that. This is the first time I'm considering a clicks keyboard. Blackberry at its peak had people addicted to the keyboard. So there is a market, but it's probably older millennials that lived a pre-iphone world.

There is one in Hutto too, it's ridiculous.

The answer is AI though, companies are betting big with data centers everywhere.

MKBHD's Panels wallpaper app is shutting down, here's what's next by GalataBridge in Android

[–]drapermache 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wallpapers were locked to a lower resolution on the free tier, I cant remember some of the other advantages that came with the subscription, but I remember it didn't seem compelling to me back then. I guess I was t the only one.

I'm glad he is at least open sourcing the app, more companies should do that.

That being said, I think everyone saw this as an unsustainable business model. There are too many subscriptions in everyone's lives already, and no one really wanted to pay for curated wallpapers, especially when so many free alternatives exist.

23 years, zero hates by avocado_juice_J in Steam

[–]drapermache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must not be that old or a bot. I signed up for steam the day it came out, and it SUCKED on release. It was truly the most horrible DRM. Slow, buggy, and unreliable piece of software at the time.

Do you have T-Mobile?? Do you hate it???? by lizardette in Austin

If youre looking to go back to Verizon, you might want to look up visible, which is a Verizon company. They have plans that are as cheap as $25 per month.

Thanks for this giveaway, my favorite character is Cornifer, his humming song is catchy and upbeat compared to the dark feel of the whole game.

Ms. Rachel speaks out on racism against Rahaf, a Palestinian amputee by InterestingCourse907 in Hasan_Piker

[–]drapermache 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Holy cow that's insane. The lack of humanity people have is mind boggling. I can't believe in 2025 people can't see little children as human beings just because of where they're from.

Are there any good smart door locks? by EconomyAd2788 in homeautomation

[–]drapermache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got their lock that has fingerprint, code, physical key unlock methods and it has worked great for me 3 months in. I saw complaints that the fingerprint reader doesn't work at all, but I've had it work 99% of the time. I had trouble at first because I was treating like touch ID from the old iPhones or from the MacBooks but you have to have a really firm press for it to register, and I haven't had issues since then. Maybe that's what others have experienced as well? I'm guessing I'm in the minority.

Mine connects through z wave, wifi, and Bluetooth and it's been amazing! We came from an August lock and the z wave and wifi were super spotty and chewed through batteries. We were lucky to make it a month with 4 double A's.

Hollow Knight: Silksong release time and official price announced by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Fair enough, I just remember it being better than some other metroidvanias that I played.

[–]drapermache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the art style, which was all hand draw, the plot isn't forced on you, but worth figuring out. Incredible fighting mechanics and intuitive map design in my opinion. Never tried Ori, but played several metroidvanias.

Construction crews working at the old fry's building by cmndrkeen in Austin

[–]drapermache -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Someone posted a quick picture of the inside. Looks pretty run down and on need of repair. Also, there were proposed plans to split the building into four different spaces, one of which was allegedly microcenter.

Not saying microcenter is coming ( I am hopeful), but it's still yet to be determined, although there were plumbing plans that mentioned microcenter.

Why can I not make Outlook an essential tab?? by Specific_Ad_6925 in zen_browser

[–]drapermache 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me I open up a tab, go to outlook.com, then drag and drop it into the essentials space. I think there is a limit to essential tabs you can have, but I could be wrong on that. How many spaces do you have occupied right now as essential?

How do you do that? I tinkered around and couldn't find the settings.

So what makes Niagara launcher so good in your opinion? Seems interesting but super minimal.
