simple

I don't know if there's a source specifically for this but when I often get stuck and start repeating myself I look up Merriam Webster's thesaurus and start replacing boring words with better ones.

So rather than say something like awesome I'd say a word like marvelous, lovely, etc.

Yeah a lot of people miss the fact that the play for Twitter was never about money, but control. Owning one of the most popular social medias makes it easy to spread propaganda and amplify your voice.

While you were out there whacking your straight stick, I spent years studying the blade...

Just barely. I was fighting for my life.

How does this compare to Revolt?

It's not even copyright, they're suing for using things they patented, but their patents are extremely general. I kid you not, they have a patent for MOUNTING CREATURES, something hundreds of games have done.

Abstract: In an example of a game program, a ground boarding target object or an air boarding target objects is selected by a selection operation, and a player character is caused to board the selected boarding target object. If the player character aboard the air boarding target object moves toward the ground player character automatically changed to the state where the player character is aboard the ground boarding target object, and brought into the state where the player character can move on the ground.

I'm no lawyer so I can't tell you how well this would hold up in court but it's ridiculous. See more: https://patents.justia.com/assignee/the-pokemon-company

And imagine how much they sacrificed to make it 9.5mm. Not to mention that phone is an outlier (and the iphone 16 is actually 7.8mm). Priorities changed, phones now need more space for things like a bigger battery, better cameras, bigger heatsinks for faster performance and less throttling.

There are technical reasons. You can't just put in a sliding keyboard on a modern phone and expect it to work the same. They'll have to cut on so much to fit that without being too thick, and in the end you'll end up with a phone that's worse in every way and probably more expensive, for a feature so little people want.

How? His phone was still thicker than phones now and that doesn't have a cover.

You're comparing the market 10+ years ago to the market now... Your old phone was tiny compared to modern phones, which is a market that barely exists anymore because people prefer larger screens. It's one thing for a smaller phone to have a sliding keyboard, but slapping one on an already big phone would make it heavier and clunkier to use. The fact that touch screens are way bigger means that using a touch screen keyboard is much easier than it used to be, making slide out keyboards unnecessary.

I don't understand why every tech community acts like their niche opinions apply to the whole market. "Everyone wants small phones, we all want sliding keyboards, remember when operating systems were simple?" etc etc. I guarantee you if someone ACTUALLY made the type of phone you want it would barely sell and be seen as a gimmick.

I mean it sounds good on paper but who's going to want to buy a phone that's 2x thicker because it has a sliding keyboard? No doubt it'll be really expensive to make too.

It's weird that they're adding E2EE on voice but not in private DMs, which is probably everybody's biggest concern when it comes to security on Discord.

Everyone: I wish Mozilla would just focus on their browser and not their other BS

fast forward to them cutting costs on a Mastodon server that nobody uses

Everyone: WTF???? I KNEW MOZILLA WAS A FAILURE OF A COMPANY CORPORATIONS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS WHAT CLOWNS

Threads like this make me wonder why any corporation would bother with the fediverse when this is how most people are on mastodon
