Yeah I think of downvotes as like micro-moderation, or crowd sourced curation. It’s generally a good feature. They can be annoying sometimes but it’s better than the alternative of bad/spam posts/comments flooding your feed.

Also they probably want to avoid the issue of a user accidentally sliding it all the way to the left and then being unable to use their phone lol, there’d be no way to fix it except finding a dark room (if you were even aware of what happened and why your screen “won’t turn on”)

Plenty of site to participate in and plenty to talk/post about that doesn’t involve your thing.
I comment plenty, and anything else I want to post has already been posted. I guess the only way is to start following RSS feeds to post things more quickly lol. I’m not gonna do that though.
Also the fact that they count it site-wide instead of sub-wide means if you create your own sub or use an appropriate niche sub, you’re gonna screw up your own ratio.
It’s ok to have a rule like this in case of abusers. But I’m not being abusive about it, I’m not using AI, and I’m getting many upvotes. The 10% rule is incredibly strict if applied indiscriminately.
Hi /u/Die4Ever,
Thank you for posting to /r/Games. Unfortunately, we have removed this submission per Rule 8.
Promotional Content Requirements
We have strict rules for promoting content. Posting links to your own or affiliated content are considered self-promotion. Promotion should not be the main purpose of your account, you should be an active, participating member of this community first. Violation of these rules can result in a ban either on your user or on the site or game in question. Remember that Reddit has its own advertising feature which is a much better, appropriate way to use Reddit for the purpose of advertising!
Post Compensation and Disclosure - Receiving compensation of any kind to post about something without disclosure is strictly against the rules. This includes money, Reddit Gold, or anything in between.
Account History Requirement - No more than 10% of your submissions across all of Reddit may be to any single site, profile, or channel. This is not limited to your own content: you can be in violation of the promotion rules for a site that you have no direct affiliation with. Comments usually do not factor into the 10% rule. That being said, we can take comments into account if we feel they are being used to circumvent the 10% submission restriction (such as posting a specific domain repeatedly in comments) Additionally, moderators may use their discretion when it comes to multiple sources about the same topic in relation to promotional limits.
If you have any questions or would like additional clarification on the promotion rules for /r/Games, feel free to send the mods a message about it!
This is considered an official warning. Further Rule 8 violations may result in greater consequences, up to and including an account and/or domain ban from this subreddit.
If you would like to discuss this removal, please modmail the moderators. This post was removed by a human moderator; this comment was left by a bot.
then I wonder what the cutoff is for “low power charger” because I don’t think I’ve ever seen that, it could probably stand to be increased a bit
below 5W, then the charger is considered “slow,” and the message “charging slowly” is shown on the lock screen. If the power is above 7.5W, then it’s considered “fast,” and the “charging rapidly” message is shown instead. If the power is between 5 and 7.5W, then the charger is seen as “normal,” and the lock screen simply says the phone is “charging.”
Seems to be a purely cosmetic change. I was wondering if the OS has any different behavior when charging quickly (like being more aggressive with running background processes, and running updates/backups) but the article didn’t say anything about that.
If my phone was only charging at 5 or 6W I’d want to know the charger is garage. That might not even be enough to use the phone without losing battery. What they really need is to rename “slow” to “very slow”, and then 5W to 7.5W could be considered the new “slow”. The intent being that “very slow” is problematically slow (maybe the OS scheduler could pretend the phone is not charging). And “slow” charging would just be for mild inconvenience.
If only the phone could just tell me the actual number of watts it’s charging at lol. Even if it’s rounded and averaged.
Yeah I did take the age into account, I just figured it’s over a 10x difference and not all of that would be due to battery age.
My mom is still using my release day Galaxy S9+ lol
very interesting, I wonder if the difference is due to the Pixel 8 Pro having a variable refresh rate screen, maybe also because it has a higher resolution screen and different graphic drivers
but with Chrome being about 10x more efficient on P8P than P4a, I’m guessing the variable refresh rate is a big factor there that Firefox isn’t using as optimally
IDK if we’re really missing any software features, but I feel like it’s a good opportunity for a Lemmy plugin
Especially with Lemmy getting support for plugins soon, I don’t see the need for making a new platform
A new sorting method for “unanswered” is a cool idea. I’m not sure if it’s quite as simple as just finding posts with 0 comments, because people can put additional questions in the comments but it’s still unanswered. Also how do you sort them for posts with the same number of comments/answers. But this is definitely something that a plugin could handle.
I saw someone else suggested we could just put “[unanswered]” in the title and then edit the title to “[answered]”
Then they aren’t using it properly
Or use Cloudflare (properly)
When it comes to moderation tooling I’m honestly a little confused that there isn’t more work or noise around a developing a sideloaded tool.
Yeah we just need volunteers to dedicate their time to it. But it’s a lot easier to complain than it is to contribute.
So ffmpeg gets a few thousand dollars for such a simple answer/solution? Sounds good to me?
I think the holdup is that previously SMS was paid for through your carrier, so Google can let any app use it and no one loses money. Now the main RCS instance is hosted by Google, and I guess Google doesn’t want other apps freeloading on their servers since you’re not paying for RCS directly like you are paying your carrier. It really sucks and I hope it gets resolved soon, especially with Apple joining in. We also need a good open source RCS server and client.
Yeah I wouldn’t mind some app guidelines that say no requirement to touch the edges of the screen, keep everything useful away from the edge with some padding
And then you could set the phone to ignore those touches so close to the edge
Did you try these searches while logged in or anonymously? Lemmy (and probably other platforms) don’t allow searches for remote objects unless you’re logged in, this prevents abuse of server resources. The fact that you’re getting replies and you can see them and reply to them means it’s probably all working fine.
When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
