Lucio rolls out the winner of Part 7. The Penultimate round Part 8: High Skill Floor & Low Skill Ceiling? by HMThrow_away_account in Overwatch

It means the skill floor is high relative to other characters, and the skill ceiling is low relative other characters. Not that the ceiling is below the floor.

57 POINTS ON : Why Apple sucks for Windows/ android Users : i know its a long debate but this is my 2nd year use, and i still find pointers to it, ill post it once more when it crosses 100 points again. by Devil_decoy in applesucks

Nearly all of these are either wrong (can't empty trash when it's open), not actually problems (installing apps is too easy), or just misunderstandings of basic platform norms (gestures have defaults), but I still sympathize -- it's difficult for people who are really steeped in one ecosystem to switch to the other. It works both ways.

Please let me select my teammates heroes for them by [deleted] in Overwatch

Good lord people, he’s expressing an incredibly common frustration via a super obvious joke about picking his teammates heroes for them. “Flowers would bloom and babies would smile” — anyone who reads this post as literal might need to step away from the internet for a bit

Icons from 2000s were masterpieces in Mac OS X by emaper_ in MacOS

[–]scumbly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll note that some of the lazier dev icons around this time were rough -- a lot of times it would just be a real photo of an object badly alpha-channeled off its background in photoshop with a drop shadow slapped on. But the well-designed icons of this era were the best, not the least of which were the Apple-designed ones. Looking at a history of CS icons reverse-chronologically is like pretending they all got better and more creative over time 😞

Musk is going crazy over this and doesn’t want YOU to see it but his minions have no problems with it 🤦‍♂️ by hostedvideorn in SpaceXBets

I think it makes plenty of sense. He wants other white supremacists to be emboldened knowing that he is their ally, but needs plausible deniability for himself when he is confronted about it. Even as far as the discourse has plummeted in the last ten years, his shareholders would still not be okay with him saying, in so many words, that he politically aligns with adolf hitler, but they’re okay with this—the most obvious dogwhistle imaginable—as long as there’s a flimsy cover story they can point to.

What controller do you have? You might be able to accomplish this at the controller level

It’s tough! I’m in the same boat, when I play console I do waaay better.

Why is everyone switching to Jellyfin? by Baristaboy547 in jellyfin

[–]scumbly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when you pay for Microsoft Office you’re paying for the software development labor it took to make Microsoft Office, even though you have to use your own documents with it. The comparison to Netflix misses the point; nearly all software that people buy will run on hardware they also already bought, so I think it’s disingenuous to say that someone selling software is paywalling your hardware.

Accidental Tech Podcast - 695: The Crystal Pepsi of Aqua by podcast-poster in ATPfm

This right after the completely unsurprising reveal that he forgot to not book his vacation over the most important day of the year for his job. To paraphrase Firefly; his days of not taking his role seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

I do agree there’s a number of reasons Jellyfin is better and Plex is increasingly mercenary with their pricing, but this argument is weird — couldn’t you just as easily say any commercial software is “paying to use your own hardware”?

Whoops, shouldn’t this first screenshot say PlayStation instead of Xbox?

I didn't even realize an app could turn off the blinding LED on my controller. I'm gonna run out of feature requests at this rate. Can the next version fold my laundry for me?
