Why is predictive text so hard to disable? in c/programming@beehaw.org

It's not new, nor is it AI. Predictive text suggestions have been in Android for ages now.

Was banning human slavery an authoritarian decision? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 19 points 2 days ago

No, it was anti-authoritarian, as it removed the authority slave holders had over their slaves.

Games that support the Deck's multitouch in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

The Sky devs managed to do it somehow in any case. Could be the windows touchscreen API.

Games that support the Deck's multitouch (pawb.social)

The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

What makes the experience not enjoyable for you?

I tried to ride Trek’s new ebike up the steepest hill in Seattle — and it didn’t go as planned in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 28 points 6 days ago

users can reach speeds up to 20-plus MPH fairly easily (that’s 9,743 Kilometers per hour for my non-US readers).

I know you guys in the US have faster e-bikes, but almost 8 times the speed of sound seems a little bit excessive.

Paying online, not playing online. I misread it at first too.

Maybe Lovecraft wasn't as talented as people think? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 160 points 3 months ago

The wizard was called "Le Sorcier". Lovecraft wrote that story when he was 17, so I think we can cut him some slack that it wasn't a masterpiece.

That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 196 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Because religion provides comfort, community and a meaning to people's existence that goes beyond "we were born of chance on an insignificant rock somewhere in the universe".

(I'm not religious BTW)

Can't reply to kbin accounts (pawb.social)

Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?

What is a technology/gadget you refuse to use and why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 151 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Smart speakers with personal assistants like Amazon Echo etc. Not remotely useful enough to be worth placing spying Equipment all over my home.

Wireless headphones. So now I'm supposed to recharge my headphones and get worse sound quality for it? In a few years they become e-waste, while good wired headphones can last decades. No thanks.
