I mean, it sounds like they’re copying Microsoft’s “everything is an Xbox” lunacy, but its unclear if that’s reality based on what I read there.
But I’d not be surprised if the “Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man” meme applies to this, given how focussed the VP of each company’s console division is on their main competitor.
But who knows… Perhaps not even them? 🤷♂️
Not sure it is the same kind of thing, but I’ve been using Homebank ever since the various personal financial management applications pulled out of the UK market.
I’ve always been a fan of “dropping the kids off at the pool”.
Though it will probably backfire if you say it to your own crotchfruit…
I swear “How to disable AI in x…” is all our lives now. 😬
Prompted by this, TIL that !chargeyourphone@piefed.social exists. 😄
By “that shit”, do you mean every website/app that may contain age-restricted (not just sexual) content? Because that’s what comes into force in the UK next week.
I’ve been dreading this for decades. 🤬
It’s not just Reddit, nor are they the first to roll it out early.
Same here. And the reasons you mention are exactly the reason I deleted that account a few years ago when I switched to Fastmail.
A couple of my friends are willing to put up with it, but always mention the volume of spam they deal with.
I’ve had my new email address for 6-odd years and only have one regular spam source - from a hack of an online shop - but as I used a username+shopname email alias for it, it’s easy to detect and automatically handle.
Now I use Fastmail’s “Masked Email” feature for each online account. When (not if) a site gets hacked, I just change the site to use a new masked address and block/delete the old one, and then it’s useless to scammers/spammers.
You can see some of them that way, particularly the ISS and Iridium satellites. Both require that you, the satellite and the sun be in the right position for you to see a reflection (or “flare”).
It’s worth noting that some satellites are smaller than a loaf of bread and low-earth orbit is 800-2000 km. By comparison, the horizon can be under 5 km. And there’s also the atmospheric conditions between you and it to consider.
If you want to watch a satellite flyover, there are sites and apps that provide the times for your location.
The first time I saw the ISS go over, it reminded me of those silent, fast action scenes in The Expanse. 😄
Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now? (Even if they’re unaware of it.)
Meta faking Threads user count that way on top of what’s happened with X user count would explain this “milestone” quite easily.
If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I’ll not be remotely surprised.
He’s a game developer and Twitch streamer (game dev and playing) who’s become very popular in the last few years.
The latest pile-on against him is due to him having some reservations about the wording and intent of the petition/movement and, because we’re currently in a era where False Dichotomy is king: anything other than 100% unquestioning support is treated as 100% unequivocal opposition, and vice versa. 😒
My understanding is that he thinks it’s a good idea in principle (as do I), but games are no longer simply compiled with only the occasional update or patch, but multi-server online complex systems with a lot of moving parts. Of you’re going to legislate immortality on games, then you’re going to need to make your argument for it clear and robust, who has responsibility for what, how deprecating technology is handled, and so on.
I’ve been using SelectSpecs for 15 years. I think they drop-ship from SE Asia.
Mostly to have a spare set, but for the last year or so they’ve been my primary pair.
Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.
GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.
Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it’s hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).
That explains a lot, thanks.
American or South African chocolate products.
NOT an anti-American/-Saffer thing. They add butyric acid, which tastes like vomit to the rest of the world. (Accurate, as vomit contains it).
Presumably because the market there have been trained to expect that flavour for some reason. To the rest of us, a US or ZA origin is usually a sign to avoid.
The only time I’ve had this is back when I thought the settings in the kebab menu (top right) controlled everything, until I realised the preferences in Settings > General are for that.
Not sure what’s going in with your situation, though, sorry.
Although it’s certainly a popular distribution, my understanding is that Bazzite’s future is currently uncertain due to Fedora’s decision to remove certain 32-bit libraries in future and the folks behind Bazzite saying they may need to end the project because of it.
I don’t know the details, and it’s possible that Fedora will reconsider, someone may make those libraries available downstream, or the Bazzite folks may have been hyperbolic, but it’s worth looking for the details and potential impacts. (Don’t take my reply as an accurate assessment).
As an alternative, I can recommend an excellent game-friendly distro: EndeavourOS. It’s based on Arch, rather than Fedora. I use it on my gaming PC and my general use laptop. I’m approaching the 2 year mark with this distro.
Had a manager who used to send notes intended for himself to our team chat. Psychotic behaviour.
Every phone has a note app. No matter how stupid you are, it works. But if messages to yourself floats your boat: why not.
Are you linking “everything is an Xbox” with growing their platform? Are you new at internet arguments?
