Personally, I'd rather my open source, decentralized software be developed by a nearly fanatical communist than a slimy entrepreneur/capitalist. Either could try to pull the rug out from under you, but at least one is internally consistent until then...
I honestly bet ESVI just started actual, large scale development recently. Like within the last year as Starfield is wrapping up. We aren't seeing that game until like 2026-2027 imo.
We might have actually gone from the last Space Shuttle flight (July 8, 2011) to the first noon landing since Apollo (2025-2026) before ESVI is released. Crazy.
I hate wireless charging too, though. It's inherently less efficient than wired, and you have less range of motion while charging. With a wire, I can still use my phone while it's plugged in. Wireless charging needs to go away imo.
Need.
Still cis tho

I appreciate the suggestion, but I thought the same thing and tried switching from Firefox to Chrome and got the same problem. Even updated both browsers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I work on robotics and drones for the military and we use game controllers for teleoperation all the time. There are some times we use more rugged and robust controllers, but they are essentially just expensive, yellow Playstation controllers with e-stop buttons on the bottom (look up Fort robotics controller).
I think you'd be surprised at how often the military uses game controllers for mission critical tech. The convergent design of game controllers has kind of solved the problem of minimal, handheld, input-output machines that are capable of commanding difficult procedures.
Nah my bet is on Barry Bama who looks curiously like Obama but with a mustache and glasses on.
Well, there are only 6 posts as of right now. I started it because I was gonna miss it too. I also have some experience running a role reversal instagram account.
I can't get kbin to "install" on my phone as a pwa. When I click "add to home screen" I just get a blurry icon and the navbar at the top of the page is still there. Am I missing something? Lemmys app and higher user count is what got me to settle on it instead of kbin but if I could get the pwa working I might give kbin a fairer shot.
I really like the magnetic charging port plug adaptors for situations like that, but personally, if I'm jumping up and down from my desk at work or something and have my phone plugged in, I'll just leave it on my desk while I'm away. And if I'm not coming back to it for a good bit, the extra half second it takes to unplug my phone is more than worth the more efficient power transfer, imo.
But to each their own.
All these companies are ran by fucking idiots that don't understand the world or economics.
Rarely in my line of work but we do do it sometimes. To your point, outside of what I do I'm not sure how often game controllers are used in situations like passenger flight or submarines where you can't just mash the e-stop button and bail out.
If on android, there's Jerboa for an app. Kbin is working on an app iirc. It's all open source too, so if it really picks up there will probably be a few others that pop up eventually.
I hope everything just becomes brushed aluminum ffs. I hate all these glass back phones
