A recent report says that voice notes are huge across the world… apart from in Britain.
Here’s my two cents (or pennies) on why I dislike voice notes:
1. I don’t want to have to put in earphones or find a quiet place when out and about, just for you to tell me “yes” or “no” about whether you’re free for a cup of tea next Wednesday.
2. While I’m watching telly, I want to be able to glance down at my phone and get the information I need in text form. I don’t want to have to turn the telly off and listen to your private podcast that’s just for me.
3. I don’t want to wade through three minutes of waffle and chit-chat I never asked for when a thumbs-up emoji will do.
4. It makes me feel like you expect a voice note back - and I’m not doing that.
5. I have no interest in tangents about how you’ve just seen an interesting pigeon on the pavement. I asked if you could give me a lift to the station, and 12 minutes in you’re talking about a pigeon and I’ve missed my train.
6. The convenience is all yours. It’s quick to send a voice note, but much slower for me to consume it. It’s bad manners.
I think that about covers it. Of course, if voice notes are a more accessible option for the sender (due to difficulty typing, vision impairment, language barriers, etc.), that’s completely understandable - a different kettle of fish! But if you just like waffling, I’d rather not be the waffle sounding board.
(Really I think I’m just jealous of people who are able to talk coherently for minutes at a time).
Back in 2013, Sony made a big point during the PS4 reveal that the console wouldn’t require always-online check-ins.
They mocked Xbox back then over DRM and internet restrictions.
Sony positioned it as a win for players: no forced connection, no constant authentication, no limits on used games.
Fast forward to now, we’re seeing more DRM, online verification, account-based licensing, and server dependency becoming standard across platforms.
What was once criticized is slowly becoming the default. 😂
@fasakinolawale@says_badmann101@Byromew@linkuptv@MOtobora Why be dishonest about this? Two things can be true. EV's are better for the air we breathe at the very least but they are significantly heavier and instant torque tears up the roads. More robust road building materials are a must now.
@Byromew@says_badmann101@linkuptv@MOtobora Just curious, why not electric vehicles? Much heavier weight and also, much more torque in electric motors. Gotta be putting a lot of stress on tarmac.
@ThomasAmnesiac@KONAMIUK 100%!
I also always loved this graphic which was on I think US limited edition steelbook. PS used it as one of their 404 pages forever too.
