This is fascinating!

I wouldn't put too much stock in what they say, the clip is fine and I can't find anything disagreeable about the voice. I think this user is just upset at YouTube, not your content. Good work on this :)

Accessibility. People who can't grab or use an XBOX controller with their hands need to use custom controllers, including things like foot pedals.

Have some empathy. These aren't oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.

I sympathize with the large flaws in Lemmy that cause huge problems for moderators. I'd personally prefer to stay with it and continue to push the devs / community for upstream bugfixes (through PRs, open issues, or bug bounties), but I do understand if that becomes unmaintainable.

If the user experience on a new platform is similar I'd likely stay; if it does change significantly, I most likely would switch to actively use a different Lemmy instance.

It still means they're selling your info to advertisers

Immediately after, every single ISP in my area introduced "data caps". If I use more than 1TB of total data in a month, they charge exorbitant fees. Fortunately, you can pay to remove these caps! ...for nearly twice the monthly price.

Set one mouse to left handed and another to right handed.

Rogue Legacy! You are a knight invading an evil wizard's castle. When you die, your children take up your mantle and try again.

Dying means you get to try again with a descendant that has different quirks, like "being left-handed" or "dwarfism"

Good. They should cry.

The cruelty is the point of those laws. That poor girl...

Thoughts on Taotronics? (www.taotronics.com)

A friend recommended these for me, as a good pair to wear while out biking. I saw on Reddit, though, that they got delisted from Amazon for farming fake reviews.

Do y'all know about this brand? Is it worthwhile for passable audio+mic, or just cheap shovelware?

I recommend looking at the summary on Wikipedia. See the "Response" and "Publication History" sections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99#Publication_history

Similar research has been falsified, the third author of this paper left the university months ago, some authors filed patents on the material years in advance, and the underlying mechanisms haven't been thoroughly explained.

However, they presented it in a way that is EXTREMELY straightforward to reproduce. There's even a live stream on Twitch of someone working on it: https://www.twitch.tv/andrewmccalip So I doubt they'd make a claim that large when it's so easy to disprove, and we'll know for sure in a matter of days, most likely.
