What do you think you’re doing?! Videos on Lemmy are illegal!

I might have seen it once a long time ago, but I don’t remember what he sounded like, so I can’t confirm that for you.

You’re not wrong, as it’s your personal subjective experience, which can’t be wrong.
But the fact that it pisses you off implies that you don’t understand the reason behind it.
We used to have information-dense UIs before because:

• devices used to have only large screens with lower resolution.
• devices were used primarily be specialists for productivity.

Which means programs had to fit a lot of stuff in very few pixels. Nowadays, vast majority of users are casual, the people of the land, fatfingering their tiny displays. They don’t need a ton of buttons and sliders. In fact, a common user would get overwhelmed by all that, even on the desktop. And while a small amount of people would benefit from a denser UI for the same casual apps, it’s usually not with the effort designing and implementing them.

Thanks, I hate it.

Is it short for Wartholomeow?

Allosaurus?

Oh right, didn’t pay enough attention. But it was the first thing I saw in the morning.

Shouldn’t 7/10" actually be 7/20"?

It’s a Lemmy award.

I didn’t know that it’s possible to collapse the post body, that’s good to know. In that case, it would be great if it there was an option to have it collapsed by default because vast majority of posts are images or links, and they are already visible on the left side, so opening a post just shows the content twice.

Alexandrite in shambles.

And it would be immensely better if there was an option to automatically scroll down to comments.

I can understand not liking the genres or having different stylistic preferences, but saying that new Mario games are shovelware? Have you played them? SMB Wonder was the most fun my brother and I have had playing a platformer in like 20 years. The game is full of creativity, almost every level introduces a new game mechanic that could easily be its own game.

My parents wanted me to become Dr. Doctor. But I’m merely a Mr. Mister. So take these broken wings.

In Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Aladdin in several levels in the beginning you have go forward a bit and then return back to the start to find the secret. Needles to say, it also messed me up for life.

Why is the dpad censored?

Not sure what’s the idiom with “fridge” in it.

My two favorite malaphors:

• It’s not rocket surgery.
• We will burn that bridge when we get to it.

Right? It will probably mostly impact poor people, so who cares!
