iOS is also filled with apps that have ads and subscriptions. Having something like F-droid for Foss apps without the nonsense is nice if you need something like a simple pdf reader or even a calculator. IPad has no calculator for example and there’s so much crap you have to shift through to find a simple calculator that doesn’t have ads or subscriptions.
In terms of performance if the game has the same visuals does Unreal do better in that department than red engine?
Accessing chats in big picture mode seems worse than how it worked in old big picture mode. Usually if you are in big picture mode it is because you are using a controller, and with the new one it is hard to navigate chats with the controller so I end up using a mouse.
Also, would be nice to have an option to display the entire text of a comment in pop ups, since it often cuts off and I have to entire toggle to overlay , alt tab, or look at the terrible steam chat mobile app. Apps needs work for basic messaging with it not refreshing to show the most recent chat consistently so having to exit and reopen.
I have a S23U and edge panels to open up new apps and one hand operation + to make gestures from the edges helps me navigate with one hand.
I hate that Google doesn’t even alert you through email if they delist an app you paid for and also remove it from being installable.
Edit: I think that this feature is id-walled for kbin users. Which is good, it’s already potentially problematic enough that the entire Lemmy content is fully “crawl-able” without limitation by OpenAI and other less-desirable content crawlers; it would be really problematic if votes were unconditionally public.
It can be viewed without an account might be the url being a problem. But, you can go to kbin and then click “more” then “activity” for any comment or thread to look through what kbin was able to register when it comes to user votes.
I am not running an instance, and am not familiar with the synchronization delay, but this seems unexpectedly long (the downvotes for this post started immediately as I posted it - more than 24 hours ago, so it’s very surprising to see nothing on kbin).
kbin and lemmy has sometimes been problematic when it comes to synchronizing content. Sometimes threads don’t even show up on kbin or lemmy if the opposite userbase attempts to make a thread. Same for lemmy and lemmy instances too where some comments will show up and others don’t. Even more inconsistencies with how instances will have different defederation lists. This makes votes appear inconsistent from instances to instances and even more so for instances that deactivated downvotes.
Checking it appears that kbin only registers upvotes from kbin and lemmy instances now and only downvotes from kbin users publicly. Wonder if this is a decision kbin made or something was done on lemmy end to keep downvotes of lemmy users from being registered by kbin.
Kbin only shows favorites. They don’t show actual upvotes/downvotes (which is a good thing IMHO).
But it’s not like you would check anything properly before opening your mouth…
No. The reduces tab is what downvotes are registered as. Not all instances are in sync so it records what it can as opposed to only kbin users. That’s the nature of decentralization so votes will be different from instance to instance.
Anyways, I downvoted your comment as a example and you should see my username pop up. It’s public on kbin.

There was even an amusing situation where a mod went into a users profile and downvoted that users comments and everyone could see it.

Relax and take a breath.
What bots…All votes are public. At least from kbin so there’s no conspiracy. You can see who upvoted and who downvoted.

I would miss the ability to multitask by split screening apps or doing floating app with my S23U. I would miss my spen which I use to take quick notes, and then can slot back into the phone which even the iPad Pros can’t do. I would miss having a non Safari browser like Firefox and its addons. I would miss the easy access to foss apps like NewPipe, and apps not allowed on the Apple store like tachiyomi, emulators, and torrent clients. I would miss that syncthing type apps don’t properly work for syncing across different platforms. I would miss the launcher, since I’m not a fan of Apple launcher and app library aesthetics. I would miss the Android folder system’s easy access to everything in there compared to the iPhone. I would miss one hand operation+ method of navigating over Apple gestures.
I would like the long term updates of the iPhone though. Using the iPad though made me never want to get an iPhone.
Ads I get, but the admob with the “unique device identifiers” is not something I like. That means even people who are willing to pay for a subscription will be exposed to them when they first open the app to purchase the subscription.
Yeah, people are aware now so can make decisions on their own and decide their own risk tolerance.
One thing I find funny though is how people think I don’t care if X country has my info it’s my home country Y I’m more worried about. But, their country Y is probably hacking country X and retrieving all their info from there with possibly less red flags to get through. So it really comes down to what people choose to share and use than a certain countries publicized spying policies.
Yeah, I’ve played up to Yakuza Kiwami 2 so now gearing up to play through 3-5. Excited for it. The games side quests are so fun and wacky.
There’s some mods that make it easier that might help.
Yakuza 0. Had a PS4, but wanted to play it on the PC instead so kept waiting hoping it would be ported to the PC. It later then did and I waited longer for a price drop and it ended up showing up on a Humble Bundle so finally snatched it years later.
It was worth the wait. Very enjoyable and I did all the side quests. Cabaret club was an amazing part of the game.
Especially stuff that continues to not move on from the original universe and focusing on the same old cast of characters instead of making a brand new set of characters not held back by having ties to the original. Nothing has come close to KOTOR when it comes to post Star Wars original trilogy content.
I like social media, but don’t have been drawn more to pseudonym based ones than maintaining a social media of your real life counterpart. That stuff is too exhausting for me.
Harassing as in posting Cyberpunk nudes on other subs?
I think for consumers it doesn’t matter the reason. A bad experience is still a bad experience, and that’s something I found the Apple appstore to be, so avoid it most of the time.
