I really like my Playdate, and I say this as someone who was very critical of it before it came out ("No color or backlight? Only A and B buttons? Why would anyone pay $200 for that?) and received it as a gift from my very intuitive husband. I am still very critical of the fact that there is no backlight, but the damn thing is so cute and charming. I like playing games on it.

I’m very disappointed that the dock just got shelved and won’t be released. Now I have to make my own or buy an Etsy one. :(

I hope the internet is promptly getting to work “rule 34ing” this mascot. Personally I would like to see Luce getting railed by the pope.

I really hope they actually fixed the dock display issues and blank screen problems when waking from sleep or switching displays.

I’ll dig my dock out of the closet, update it, and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

Probably because they have unresolved emotional issues and take it out on other drivers.

Oh they absolutely do.

Besides guns, motor vehicles are probably the most physically powerful things most of us (in the US) have the freedom to control in our lives. And there are almost no restrictions on allowing someone to drive when they can’t or won’t regulate their emotional state.

Judging by how close people follow me on the Interstate, I have a feeling most drivers think this but only a small percentage can do it effectively.

And judging by how close 9 out of 10 pickup truck drivers follow tailgate me on the interstate even when I am doing 10-15 over, I have a feeling most don’t care and would prefer to run me over in their lifted Rams and SuperDutys.

Only if you steal directly from Nestle.

Help i am trying to get the internet but my son says i need to get a yah hoo? how do i get one???

Animal ownership is, in fact, seen as unethical by some vegans.

No worries! :)

Yeah. I guess we shouldn’t expect that to change any time soon?

If that’s the case, maybe public votes is the best way to go.

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.

I agree, people shouldn’t be ashamed of their vote history unless they are trying to harass a person or community with a pattern of downvotes.

I still don’t want to be harassed for my voting though, nor will I be pressured into defending my votes if a user brings it up.

Who determines the quality of one’s posts though?

The users? Users are reactionary and often vote based on how a post influenced their feelings. It probably works on Stack Exchange because the scope of the forum is solving technical problems.

Downvotes can be useful in certain contexts, like when you visit a thread and are looking for factual information, such as the answer to a tech question. I don’t want to accidentally follow someone’s bad advice because the bad advice didn’t have any downvotes nor any responses as to why it was wrong.

It’s not perfect, but voting is a quick, often effective method of fact checking.

It would encourage harassment the same way comment history does: someone goes looking for it, sees it, and attacks the person over it.

Aren’t we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

No! :) The most Linux I use is a Steam Deck.

I feel votes should be visible to admins but otherwise anonymized and private, or else I fear vote-harassment could become a forever-problem on Lemmy. As a woman who has been harassed on Twitter and Reddit in the past, I strongly urge the Lemmy community to embrace privacy on this issue. If there’s any way to make votes more private between users, we should do it.

If we don’t and users get harassed, they might leave. Lemmy needs more women. And you all are great but Lemmy also needs people who aren’t Linux nerds! Lemmy needs diversity.
