    Soon, call scams will figure out how to use their own LLMs to run the scams, and we’ll just have robots talking to robots.

    I use Kagi and never pay more than $10/mo even though I use it a lot. I think most people don’t know how much they search in a month, so the pricing can be confusing.

    I have the early adopter pro plan, which gives me extra searches (1500 instead of 1000), but for reference, I averaged 1044 searches/mo over the past 6 months (not counting this month). So if I had the standard pro plan, I’d have paid $10.66 per month on average.

    The unlimited plan seems excessive to me, unless you’re playing with the API or something like that.

    Sucks that all of the iOS apps require getting an invite to TestFlight, including joining some discord server to ask for it. It doesn’t help that Lemmy on mobile Safari sucks, so being an iOS user on Lemmy requires either a lot of patience or a high level of commitment.

    It’s nice that there are a lot being worked on, but I feel like whichever hits the appstore first will win.

    No joke I have this controller too and it's great. The left analog stick on mine started to drift after about a year of street fighter, but that's better than most controllers. A hall effect version of this thing would be the last controller I'd ever buy.

    Hell yeah! I still think about Metroid Prime every now and then. That’s an adventure that sticks with you.

    … although I wouldn’t mind forgetting the fully-voice buddy characters from 3.

    The Smash controller is very good, but not as good as an original. The new one is lighter, is made of cheaper materials (my non-scientific opinion from holding them), and has triggers that can get stuck at certain angles.

    But as far as modern GC controllers go, that's probably the best option.

    It’s a Lemmy alternative. They aim to do more or less the same thing, but are made by different people and developed independently.

    But thanks to federation, Lemmy and Kbin can communicate similar to how Lemmy and Mastodon can communicate. So you can simply use the one you like best, and not worry about missing out on content posted to Lemmy.

    Kbin is rough around the edges as it’s earlier in development than Lemmy, but it has more features than Lemmy, like a “microblogs” tab so that you can use it like Mastodon/Twitter if you want.

    At 1:40: If your breath is ???, or you’re on a long ???

    I think that's "if your breath is mean, or you run a long thing"

    It happened even while I was typing the above comment. Replying to you now doesn’t seem to do it, maybe because only 2 comments are visible in this view. I guess the full comment thread also tries to load new comments automatically?

    Also, scrolling around sometimes abruptly loses momentum, which is very jarring on iOS.
