Deafness covers a broad spectrum of hearing difficulty, not just completely deaf. Most people that identify as deaf still have some hearing. I always forget that and had the same question as you until I read a comment further down.

It's likely that the person isn't fully deaf and so can still hear some music, but deaf enough that they can't understand the lyrics. Having the ability to view the lyrics in real time is handy rather than having to search them up all the time. Spotify also shows what lyric is currently being sung in real time, whereas you can't get that with a Google search.

Wait that other person I saw was a real person and not an NPC?? 🤯

Years ago, I bought headphones that were ¼ of the price of the big name Bose and Sony's and provided at least ¾ the experience. When I wore them so much they eventually broke years later, I purchased some more from their website. Turns out they have been taking orders and haven't been delivering products. Their Facebook page still posts ads and the comments are people talking about how it was a scam. That's $170 dollars I won't get back. It's weird because I really liked their product and had no reason to think they would suddenly stop delivering. Very strange.

Brand is Cowin, by the way.

It's not a field worth getting into. AI will soon make you redundant

I was like "why the fuck are they making me read these three whole sentences" but it was worth it

Rub the stick back and forth against the other to generate free wifi for the worms. They can't repay you in away way but they will be very thankful

The amount of bonus a worker gets is based on the number of miles they complete each month.

I understand what they're trying to do, but this is just not equitable. You'd have to figure out how to handle this for people who cannot run (such as wheelchair users). This greatly favours those with more free time and less obligations (such as people with no kids). It favours those already in shape and those who have fewer health issues.

This will favour those who already have it better off, which is the opposite of equity.

Good idea in theory, but I don't like the model where it's applied based on output.

I wouldn't say this is lazy devs, I would say it's tight deadlines and overwork that don't allow time for optimisation.

Remember, it's almost never the devs, and it's almost always the executives

I bet it's because it was recently announced that the Mario Maker 1 servers would be shutting down. There's a group called Team 0% that is trying to finish every unfinished level in Mario Maker. There's a push in the community to get everyone to help. I wouldn't be surprised if this person bought a Wii U to help.

Here's a YouTube video about it (2 mins 54 secs)

To be fair, they usually say which experts in the article. Just nobody reads the articles 🙈

I feel like they should have used "suggests" instead of "puts." "Puts" makes it sound like it's a sure thing, but it seems like it hasn't been verified yet
