I was like that too before I got glasses (I knew I had vision issues, but not how severe it was). I can’t stand 720p anymore.

As “someone who gets distracted very easily,” he made the change to reclaim his attention span. Ditching his laptop gave him an environment where “YouTube isn’t around the corner” and he can focus on his reading.

This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.

Reminds me a lot of fellow classmates at my college who I discovered hate online classes because they say they can’t stay focused. So I don’t know how these “luddite” students plan to not get distracted when their job will most likely involve sitting in front of a computer.

From my assumptions, the drivers see ahead of time if you use a wheelchair because the app asks you to mark yourself as a wheelchair user.

So you’d only be accepting it if you wanted to.

I don’t think the commenter wanted drivers to let people squeeze their wheelchairs into their tiny cars, rather that taxis are convenient because they can probably specifically request one that accommodates them. I’m guessing Uber doesn’t let you do that, but I somewhat certain Lyft let’s you notify potential drivers that you are wheelchair-bound in case their car cannot fit you.

That’s really nice then. I’m wondering if that’s why I rarely see any regular taxis. 90% of the ones I spot are the ones that are in between an SUV and minivan.

If a wheelchair is non-stowable (I assume it means not able to fold?), then why is a taxi different? Or are you referring to the large taxi cabs?

Wow, I’ve only been using Lyft for a good while now and I just assumed Uber took disabled riders as serious as they do.

I’m not disabled or have a service animal, but Lyft makes it very visible on the app that if you are one/have one, the drivers MUST be accommodating. They make it easy to report as well if they are not.

At least one company seems to care (I hope).

Being good to your customers shouldn’t be some wild concept.

Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

I don’t usually buy the “but it’s ok if the company is American!!!” accusations because no corporation should be abusing your privacy, but I was just sitting here wondering why they think it is suddenly not ok if a foreign company is the one harvesting data.

I remember it being pretty big news when it was revealed, with government agencies making the app forbidden for their employees.

Memories awoken.

I don’t use it often but lately it stopped being able to turn off my flashlight for no reason. Can only turn on. I wonder if it’s just to get people to use Gemini. It’s a shame because I found the normal assistant capable enough for my needs.

I don’t get the people shitting on this. It’s a very fair plan. Something I’ve been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it’s for people who use YT to watch TV (me).

I just hope there’s a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.

Endless Sky is on mobile now?!

Unfortunately 99% do suck ass these days. Rewind a decade and the Play Store used to have so many great games, even the free ones.

If you need decent mobile games:

Space RPG series

Space Courser (not sure if it still exists)

Space Traders: Frontiers

Mindustry (free and open source!!!)

BTD5 & 6 (personally I use the Netflix editions)

Terraria

Stardew Valley

Deadcells

Wizard of Legend

Villagers and Heroes (old school, small MMO cross platform with PC)

Albion Online (same as above but bigger and newer)

World of Goo

Hyperspace Delivery Service

Elder Scrolls Legends (I think it shutdown?)

Polytopia

Minecraft

Gladiabots

Pokemon Showdown (technically a web app)

A whole assortment of console emulators!

Just fools and their money being parted.

Well shit that answers my question as well. I’d definitely set him straight on his “disappointing” because it doesn’t seem like he respects an agreement.

Good luck separating that man child from his money at least.

Sorry if prying, but why didn’t your mother just get alimony? Easier to get if the other parent has good income, no?

Are they redeemable to Steam or direct download? Long as it’s not through EGS, cool.
