Game pads that use keyboard keys with custom switches and unique form factors are where I think we're heading. Like the razer tartarus v2, which I have. It is great for gaming, better than a standard keyboard that uses identical switches, but still not ideal. It is similar enough to the layout of a keyboard that finger positioning can be the same and the learning curve is smooth.
It's closer to your "ideal" but not there yet. And I completely agree that we need to go in that direction.

Thanks! Now that you mention it, I can definitely see how my comment can be seen as sarcastic itself. I'm not one with words haha

The Naruto run is not bullshit, unless you don't believe in the other bullshit in the anime. To get to speeds where wind resistance makes any difference, you need to be running in the ballpark of the fastest running humans are capable of. Not the fastest per se, but the same ballpark. And even then, in the real world, it's only a minimal difference and the Naruto run is far from optimal. To make it necessary you'd have to run faster than any human can, by a very large margin. Maybe even an order of magnitude faster.
However, in the anime, the ninjas ARE able to run that fast. So if you take into account the inhuman basically "magical" abilities of the in-universe runners, it would definitely benefit them to lean forward that much to reduce wind resistance. In many scenes they are moving so fast they will jump between trees for 4-5 seconds of airtime without losing altitude. That's fast. Not only would the Naruto run improve air resistance but it would also prevent you from flailing all over the place when you jump.
So anyway, that's why you should definitely run like Naruto if you are running track in the 7th grade.

It's also a very solid game. (the same can't be said for every game on that list but it's true for many of them)

I didn't ask why it was posted. I asked about the functionality. You should be able to understand that I didn't know exactly what a guitar pedal was. Rather than leaving this post with 0 activity and googling it, I thought I'd ask OP to talk about this thing they are clearly proud of.

This community is called guitar pedals - does that mean you use your feet for all of these different knobs?

The game doesn't look all that good to me, but I'll be damned if that wasn't one of the hypest trailers.

You can say that as much as you want, but it won't stop the obesity epidemic. "Just put in the work" won't save millions from heart disease due to poor diet. Of course everyone could just start eating better. But clearly that hasn't and will not work, so anything that can be used to help people be healthier and save lives, should be.
I've been transitioning to Linux recently and have been forced to use github a lot when I hadn't much before. Here is my assessment. Every github project is named something like dbutils, Jason's cool photo picker, or jibbly, and was forked from an abandoned project called EHT-sh (acronym meaning unknown) originally made by frederick lumberg, forked and owned by boops_snoops and actively maintained by Xxweeb-lord69xX. There are either 3 lines of documentation and no releases page, or a 15 page long readme with weekly releases for the last 15 years and nothing in between. It is either for linux, windows, or both. If it's for windows, they will not specify what platforms it runs on. If it's for Linux, there's a 50% chance there are no releases and 2 lines of commands showing how to build it (which doesn't work on your distro), but don't worry because your distro has it prepackaged 1 version out of date and it magically appears on flatpak only after you've installed it by other means. Everything is written in python2. It is illegal to release anything for Mac OS on github.
It happens consistently with any mander.xyz community. Errors nearly identical to this: `{"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original/4083b4bb-ab1d-45cc-9ff0-72280ce5c2ff.jpeg): operation timed out"}` This time it was this image: https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/4083b4bb-ab1d-45cc-9ff0-72280ce5c2ff.jpeg It only happens with images. I only browse on mobile, android. I've had it happen in Firefox and the boost app, haven't tried it anywhere else. Let me know if I can provide any other info that will help. This only happens to me with mander.xyz, and consistently happens every evening with nearly all images. Maybe 1 out of 20 times I'll get lucky and an image will load. There are too many communities I like here so I haven't just blocked it yet, hoping it can be fixed eventually. :) Edit: I did see that other post about broken images but it looked like the error was different from the one I always get so I made a separate post.
Edit: solved! https://youtu.be/VVQz6jE3X50?si=qkItmXh5HbkKpZ8x So it's somewhat old, as far as video memes are concerned. I think it was a vine. There is one guy in frame. There is a high pitched tone playing. Maybe a fire alarm or something. The guy says something like "hey does anyone hear that? Kinda sounds like aaaaaaAAAAAA". He attempts to mimic the obnoxious sound, too low of a pitch at first, but adjusts upwards to nearly match it right as the video ends. He holds his arm up with his hand horizontal as if to describe the pitch of the sound as he tries. All of this is only maybe 5-6 seconds long. I cannot find it. I have searched high and low. Google has failed me, or rather my googling skills have failed me.
I'd love to use this as my main app, but gestures are hard for me. I'd love it if I could tap once on the screen to dismiss media that was brought up by tapping a thumbnail (in compact view). Ideally there would be very little delay between tap and dismiss.
I recently got a touch screen panel, 1280X800, and the screen is on 24/7 (which is fine). The only problem is it's in my peripheral vision when I'm at my desk and it by default cycles through some stock images when not in use. The image changing catches my eye easily, and it's just a little annoying. So I decided to put a single static image on it. Does anyone here have any static image you keep on your wall-mounted displays when they aren't in use, or any ideas for such an image? I was going to fall back on just disabling the image all together and have the actual interface showing, but that's boring. I was thinking of something related to my home, saying like the {surname} household, or maybe a picture of my cats or something funny, I am not sure either way. I figured some of you here might have thought about this already and might have some good suggestions.
I have had food poisoning all night and day. Lemmy kept my spirits up with a steady flow of posts to laugh at.
First off, amazing app. I didn't use boost for reddit, but currently this is the best app for my personal uses that is out there. I use the small cards with full width images. I mainly browse by tapping the image to expand the preview. Previously, I used relay for reddit with a very similar layout. I have 4 features/changes that I would love to see options for. 1. I am left handed, and I have the image thumbnails on the left. It's very difficult for me to reach the floating button to hide read posts. I cannot do it while holding my phone in my left hand. An option to put the button in the middle or on the left would be nice. 2. One of the best features of relay was how quick it was to open and close images. All of the images would pre-load the hq versions so when I tapped, there would be 0 loading at all. I've noticed some loading with boost for lemmy which isn't super annoying but it would be cool to avoid. 3. Relay had an option to disable double tap to zoom in previews. This means that when you would tap an image to dismiss, it would not wait for the double tap and would disappear immediately. This is the single biggest difference between the 2 apps that I notice regularly. It does get kind of annoying, having to wait every time. There is currently no lemmy app that has this feature. 4. When dismissing an image, it simply disappears. It would be cool if the image "shrunk" back into the thumbnail location which would make it easier to see which post I just opened in case there are similar looking image thumbnails next to each other, such as text images. Relay also has this. Again, I'm not trying to bash the app. This will be my app of choice going forward and I've already purchased the ad removal. It really is a fantastic app. I'm just throwing some ideas out there that could be cool :)
