nugger (nugger@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 22:40:54 JST nugger WHY WOULD YOU WANT CAMERAS IN A PHONE ANYWAY
I GET THE MICROPHONES AND SPEAKERS -- YOU CANT HAVE PEOPLE RELY ON THE 3MM JACK EARBUDS WITH MIC IF YOU DONT INCLUDE THEM IN WITH THE PHONE, SO THEYRE JUST THERE LIKE KICKSTANDS ON BICYCLES -- FOR THE END USER TO TAKE OFF IMMEDIATELY
OR IN THIS CASE PUNCTURE WITH A PIN AND DRIP SUPERGLUE INTO IT-

NPCs can't into mp3 players
Seriously we could have integrated bone conduction headset/mp3 players with SD card, local storage, and hell, even shitty bluetooth if you really want it, plus media server via bluetooth so you can still do playlist shit from your pocket computer.
pls
I just don't want it to drop out because of some guy with a radio in his ambulance passing me by to pick up another jab victim. -
nugger (nugger@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 22:47:31 JST nugger @Zerglingman I NEVER LIKED BLUETOOTH IN MY LIFE
IT NEVER FUCKING WORKED FOR ME ITS ALWAYS BEEN A NUISANCE AND THE ITEMS THAT USE IT ARE EVEN WORSE THAN THE TECHNOLOGY ON ITS OWN -- BECAUSE THEY MOSTLY ARE PERIPHERALS THAT ARE USUALLY WIRED
YOU GET RID OF THE WIRE AND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS GIANT CONVENIENCE WAOW . . . BUT NOW ITS GOT A BATTERY IN IT THAT YOU HAVE TO CHARGE

Machismo (zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 22:51:28 JST Machismo @nugger You gotta charge the pocket computer anyway man.
Just remove pocket computer from the equation entirely.
Also don't make the thing shut down to charge. That's retarded. You can cite all the safety concerns you want but I'm gonna call it bullshit because we can already do it; the headset I use on my PC does it just fine.
But yeah, bluetooth sucks massive ass. Destroy bluetooth. That's why I propose only using it to do playlist stuff - who cares how shit it is when you only have it turned on once every hour or two, tops. -

Kek Kerel (kekkerel@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 22:56:44 JST Kek Kerel @nugger @Zerglingman I just use a wireless radio headset. I can wear one of these, tower in the garage, and be working in the garden 200 feet away and still get a signal. All for 30 bucks. No bluetuna bullshit.

Santa Noodle ☦️ (bowsacnoodle@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 22:58:04 JST Santa Noodle ☦️ @Zerglingman @nugger I've had mystery smoke from a small battery powered device I used while charging. The machine spirit left it and it was kill. Thankfully not in my ear. They have to use a separate circuit that costs another few cents to put passthrough power via charge port whole remaining current goes to battery. I switched down to tiny $20 JLab go pop earbuds. Case is small and has a charging cable built in. Good noise isolation seal making them functionally ear plugs. Mediocre sound but acceptable for audio books and such. -
Machismo (zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 22:59:24 JST Machismo @BowsacNoodle @nugger I would pay for that.
Actually, tbh, what I'd rather is just have two removable batteries in it with an autoswitch (and notice it has occurred).
Then just pop the dead battery for charge, socket a full one, continue. -

Also I know a guy who used to do this with an old samsung. Carried like 3 batteries, and a huge charging pack in his backpack.
Guess how I met him. -

Bought general rechargable batteries and we're good to go again. Just don't charge them on the tower. I don't know what will happen. -

And 👏 that's 👏a 👏good 👏thing.

i never did get into ingress.....not for a lack of trying -
Machismo (zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 23:13:00 JST Machismo @neopolitan @nugger @BowsacNoodle How much did you focus on community? That's what really works it.
And that's why pogo isn't really a successor. Granted they did actually add some teamplay stuff, like a year and a half after they locked me out of it (safetynet).
And anyway, Ingress falls flat pretty fast whenever shards get involved. Really great idea that never once worked correctly. -

Machismo (zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 23:32:34 JST Machismo @neopolitan @nugger @BowsacNoodle Anyway, on the topic of GPS gaming, there was a game called Geo Empires which was really ingenious:
- world is split into tiles (about 20m*20m each)
- moving around in a tile generates influence there (up to a cap of, IIRC, 100)
- influence can be spent, at any time/place, to reduce the tile owner's influence, if it hits 0 you capture it, whatever influence you have left is its new value (still capped at 100, still can generate it by moving there)
- Collect taxes on owned tiles (from afar) to buy defence to mitigate attacks
- Can also pick up money crates in ~250m radius, random spawns
The genius part being that you go out, play some other GPS game with this running in the background, then go home and do all your attacks/payments/etc.
>game would not run in background at all
lol, lmao
So I'm interested in making this again but fixing that. And maybe doing other stuff to it, but honestly it was pretty good as it was. Like you could make tribes so you could all cooperate on beating on a highly defended tile, so it would self-correct well enough. -

Santa Noodle ☦️ (bowsacnoodle@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 23:45:49 JST Santa Noodle ☦️ @Zerglingman @nugger This review is worth a skim. 8 hour claimed on buds + a few charges on case, and I've never noticed them die on me although I'm not listening for 8 hours straight. I easily misplaced the case because it's so small. They actually stay in my ear. They're cheap enough that you can buy two pairs+ and have functionally infinite charge.
