Hey! Would you happen to know the keyboard command to bring up the side panels when in a game in game mode? I know ctrl-1 and ctrl-2 work when outside the game but they don’t appear to work when in a game.

politics @lemmy.world•‘We are losing our kids to a satanic cult,’ Sen. Tommy Tuberville warns during Utah campaign stopEnglish
25·2 years agoIt’s goofy as hell. House members and senators can get donations and contributions from people anywhere. I’m sure it could be funneled to circumvent, but I would expect laws that candidates be only allowed to get them from entities and people in their geographic constituencies would at least have some kind of positive effect.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Is Losing It: It is unclear whether Donald Trump has forgotten the precise nature of NATO or whether he ever fully grasped it in the first place.English
59·2 years ago"One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir,
Imma stop it right there. It’s always possible that someone, out of a general professional attitude or decorum, used that ‘sir’ wording, but I’ll be damned if I’ve heard Trump use that word in a context that doesn’t sound like he’s just making some bullshit up.
I mean, he pretty much always sounds like he’s making some shit up, but my point stands!

Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper’s push for iMessage on Android is really overEnglish
161·2 years agoBeeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.

World News@lemmy.world•Nauru switches diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to ChinaEnglish
16·2 years agoNauru is all sorts of fucked up because of their history as a colony leading into mass extraction of their natural resource then leading to them doing a lot of shady shit to maintain their solvency. Granted this is a little bit old now so I may be out of date and I’m no geopolitical expert.

politics @lemmy.world•California Lieutenant Governor Calls for Trump to Be Kicked Off BallotEnglish
21·2 years agoWell articulated. That’s my exact concern as well.
Well, there existed phones that were kind of what smartphones became. Blackberries and Palms get a lot of the attention as they were what executives used, but there were also PocketPC devices that were usually white label manufactured HTC devices that were branded after carriers or some other company like HP. They generally were much larger screened devices with a few buttons at the bottom. They were resistive touchscreens so using your fingers was pretty meh for responsiveness, and the UI was just not designed in a way that was pleasant to navigate. Picture a shrunk down desktop interface. I’d say the UI was the biggest shakeup that they did in the product category, followed by steadily raising the bar for hardware in a space that often would have cheap plastic components. Don’t get me wrong, I think too much glass and aluminum is actually poorer than something like kevlar especially for dents and dings, but it doesn’t look nearly as sexy.

Android@lemmy.world•15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone?English
4·2 years agoMy first wasn’t even an actual android! I had an HTC touch pro running Haret that would reboot the phone into Android. Was so great despite the quirks and bugs since… well Windows Mobile has plenty of that going on anyway.

The poor son of a gun! They never got a chance to finish their
