  • I would want to hear ‘no’ by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.

    If they haven’t locked you down, you owe them nothing. Be direct.

    If they were worth waiting for, they would give you a straight answer.

    “I’m interested in you, but you’ve been lukewarm about this whole thing. Whenever you make up your mind, you know where to find me, but I can’t spend my life waiting for you to make a move.”


  • The full list really isn’t as bad as I expected.

    BBC is up there, apnews, the guardian.

    As another comment has said, NPR is audio content, and nearly all of their podcasts are available through podcast apps directly. And PBS isn’t a news site, so of course it doesn’t show up.

    Also worth remembering that CNN was pretty widely considered to be balanced until around a decade ago. I’m sure there’s a bunch of older people still operating from that.










  • But the assumption with PC games usually would be xbox controller. Switch controllers don’t have native USB support, so any PC usage is using the xbox controller protocol. So A is on the bottom, unless the game dev found some special way to check and detect for a swich controller specifically. The overwhelming majority don’t.

    Same thing with playstation controllers, although slightly more devs have found ways to check for them specifically.







  • The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.

    A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.

    I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.

    My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.
