MDMRN<p>Heart was the most powerful ring from Captain Planet, but Gaia knew that only Ma-Ti was mentally strong enough to never abuse it.</p><p>It allows one to change the heart and mind of an individual. </p><p>Imagine that power in the wrong hands. It could be used to manipulate anyone. It's effectively an OP charm ring that could allow you to manipulate your way into taking over the world.</p><p>However, Ma-Ti would never.

Seth Galitzer<p>Am I the only nerd that isn't into Tolkein and later works derived from his? I appreciate his impact on high fantasy as we know it, but honestly, I could never read his books. Instant snooze-fest for me. The Peter Jackson movies were fine and all, but I didn't love them, and I have friends that rewatch them annually, marathon-style. And the current Rings of Power series, I just have a hard time getting invested in. I'm just completely meh on the whole thing.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hottakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hottakes</span></a></p>
Josh<p>Roux-based Mac and Cheese is the worst. Immensely disappointed every time it arrives to the table. </p><p><a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/HotTakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HotTakes</span></a></p>
Josh<p>The biggest problem with OneUI is that the second I open a non-Samsung app, which is 99% of the time, I'm back in a stock Google UI that's Material 3 in design. Other than the convoluted menu customizations, One UI just isn't part of my day to day experience. Is it really worth the engineering and marketing? Skip it and give me great hardware instead.</p><p><a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Hottakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hottakes</span></a> <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Samsung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Samsung</span></a> <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/OneUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OneUI</span></a></p>

lordmatt<p><strong>Modern mobiles should ask permission before calling.</strong></p><p>Modern mobiles should poll the target phone with a single byte to ask if now is a good time to call. The responding phone should reply True or False (max byte value, zero byte value). All phones would need a straightforward bool/switch for DND (do not disturb). Calendar apps, sleep apps, and other productivity apps should be able to toggle DND mode.</p><p>I’d also settle for a setting to reject calls and send a text saying the mobile is in DND mode.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/hot-takes/" target="_blank">#hotTakes</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/mobile-phone/" target="_blank">#mobilePhone</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/no-caller-mode/" target="_blank">#NoCallerMode</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/not-just-for-dungeons-and-dragons-night/" target="_blank">#notJustForDungeonsAndDragonsNight</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/shower-thoughts/" target="_blank">#showerThoughts</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#technology</a></p>
