Yea, like, basically the complaints boil down to, why am I not being handheld throughout the process more?

For me I just need the general direction and what bus/train line direction to take.

Feels like people in general are getting worse at basic spatial awareness.

Basically, ~7cm width is about the limit it seems, because I assume manufacturers realised that's where most human hands are comfortable with holding a phone.

There were a few giant phones in the past, Sony Xperia's Ultra at 6.4 and the Xiaomi's Mi Max at 6.44" to 6.9". If given the 19:9 to 20:9 aspect ratios of today they'd be 7" phones (so again, don't compare phone sizes based solely on screen diagonal). As they're no longer made I assume they just didn't sell well enough.

Then Strike Commander came out the next year demanding nearly 40MB. xD

The 4 icons are just for you to customise with.

Double legends are meaningless on a fully programmable keyboard. Just use VIA and take a screenshot of your layers if you're worried about forgetting.

Well, it's going to be worse now, with HyperOS devices not getting updates if they unlock their bootloader. I think they're going to implement some more limits too, like time or device limits. It's throughly depressing overall.

It is absolutely ridiculous. If it's well-earned, sure, a hefty profit is fine. But profits cannot be ever-growing infinitely, that's just not possible. Our economies are in for a shakeup, that's for sure.

Shareholders too!

This is a ridiculous award to begin with, since platforms are long-running things and this is just a popularity contest for the past year.

Keycaps are easy, anything MX compatible (which is like most of them) will work. Since the V6 is a 100% it's even easier, since it's a standard layout and you don't need to look for extended keycap sets that have keys to correspond to certain layout types.

Switches you need to just bite the bullet every now and then. A tester only will get you so far. Expect to make a few regretful purchases from time to time.

He's effectively trying to get a raise. I don't see this any different from asking a raise from your boss at work. I mean, if you don't want more money from work, that's your problem, not his.

Given ActivityPub is newer, I hope they've made it with less of the issues email has! Email as we know it is like, what, 40 years old at this point?

That's a ridiculous take, can't believe it has so many upvotes. The Verge has staff on Mastodon for a while now.
