I don’t think you’re in the majority? 20 new bands a week is… I’ve met music lovers with hi-fi setups that maybe try 3 new albums a week! That’s really quite a lot. If I enjoy an album, I’ll listen to it some 15-20 times before picking favo

The claim is that people weren’t buying it enough. Which, you know, might be because they made it as thin as a feather and the battery life was terrible…

What’s the overlap between that AND with people that can put 1000+ into a phone? No, but honestly, outside the US?

It might be because of all the time and content that Apple put into the crease. It’s an engineering wonder, but they could tone it down a notch. Also: if you’re going to charge laptop-grade prices for a phone because it… gets bigger? Well,

I’d rather have that than a really wide phone. Do a whole series on the Predators, please.

I can’t imagine what size library causes trouble, but plugins might also be the problem with slowness or scaling. Could you manually add some indexes on misbehaving queries? I agree that SQLite might not be the better choice given many Jell

I don’t disagree with you and I’ve just learned they specifically avoid monetisation to keep their incentives aligned with the community’s. Thanks everyone for pointing that out. (…but you couldn’t call me capitalistic, that really doesn’t

Or, you know, invest the money and try to become more self-sufficient over time, safeguarding development in the future.

Maybe? I wonder how well their allies would do if the USA was less… belligerent.

Fandom is an abomination and filled with irrelevant or very basic content for most games. It wouldn’t exist if not for its phenomenal ranking on game-related searches…

This should be grounds for a class-action lawsuit. It’s lying, it’s scummy, it’s an abuse of consumer trust, and it’s written off LG as a company to do business with. I’m surprised we aren’t already seeing DPAs in the EU take on LG.

Nintendo is fighting a fairly large emulator scene, not a fringe market of custom front ends for a web service. I’m not defending Nintendo, it’s just a different scope.

The entire premise is silly. People don't just compare spec-per-spec cars, brands, service, etc. also matter. The assumption that the Prologue sells more ONLY because of the integrations…

Many (most?) governments around the world strike no terror on other countries. They don’t go around invading other countries, nor sanctioning them on the basis of belief, nor using their soft/hard power to exert pressure at a global sc

Eh, my M1 plays Tomb Raider games really well, it’s cool to the touch and doesn’t stutter in most situations. That’s kinda impressive for a non-dGPU.

GOS has their own support policy, they can’t keep updating old(er) devices. So yeah, it matters, as some vulnerabilities wouldn’t be patched on some devices.

Sibling comments has good points to make, but I’ll just say this: very few people side-load apps. The number of people hurt by side-loading must be dramatically smaller than the number of people hurt by malware, scams, nonsense, and adware

Bit of an unfair take. You propose the open-source community operates behind closed doors like the very software they aim to replace? I’d argue Spotify has so little to gain by being hostile, that perhaps the lawyers are more expensive than

They could literally have lawful access to data. You know, like they used to, with courts and oversight and… democratic processes at play.

“Experts.” Sorry, but they aren’t. I know enough people advising policy, working for external agencies, staffed on projects on a “who’s available to work on this?”-basis without any relation to their expertise.

Sounds good, thank you. The Pixel 8 is way outside my budget, it’ll mostly be a testing device for my mobile apps (gotta make them work on GOS).

Many websites might be broken, but I’d like a toggle to disable listening for scroll events. And no overflow overrides on major and screen-wide elements.

Reddit does have great communities, and can be useful even when you’re logged out. Making their website really crappy does mean I use it, like, 15 minutes a week , as opposed to 1h/day on Apollo. It’s indeed a positive.

I think you can just tap the tab bar to bring the controls back. Works for me on whatever iOS this is before “Lucas would be proud with this numbering” 26.

This sounds cool at first but I think I really want vetted, up-to-date, edge-case-covered community extensions. You know, like we already have without arTiFicIAl ‘inteligence’.

Folks SWOTing everything in life like hubris ain’t a thing… all tech needs to be more secure, even more so as the asymmetry of attack and defence grows wider.

Ahm… phones have as much memory as my laptop? Man, here was I thinking a Pixel 7 would make a good Graphene device.

Everything that didn’t turn out exactly like some people wanted is useless or the Worst Thing Ever — which is a boring and cringe rule of the internet.
