Weird, I have it so email is req (to cut down on spam and duplicates, we have zero plan to use them) but you shouldn’t be forced to sign in to Google…

I moved my email to Hey and ProtonMail so am using their apps. Doing that allowed me to push reset on what goes to each address and how I sort/filter/etc. Gmail is now my junkbox like Yahoo was forever ago.

PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.

I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.

They did such a bad job in court… focused entirely on CoD which they already had offers for everyone to get for 10yr minimum. How you gonna win that case?

Came here to say this 👆 It’s really not hard to get started or use, folks just drag their feet on it for some reason.

I just got a BOOX Tab Mini C this week and love it so far. Color is 150dpi vs B/W being 300dpi, but its not super noticeable. It’s using the newest eink color system, Kaleido 3, and it’s so much better than previous versions. Maybe not ready for every casual reader/consumer expecting OLED quality color, but as an eink / ereader nerd its wonderful.

It’s mostly a problem with SMS. But yeah it would be awesome if they’d meet Android halfway and adopt some of the RCS stuff

Images get compressed and sent super tiny. Replies to specific texts start entirely new message threads. If someone leaves the group the whole convo stops and your in an empty new message history. Reactions come through as text replies and don’t specify which message it was in reference to. Etc…

If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying

I think of “retro” as pixel-based and early 3D games that were sorta killed during the PS1/Saturn/N64 era.

Once we get into more advanced 3D / Polygonal games (PS2/GameCube/Xbox), it’s a different era; but it’s not due to the visual shift alone, but the design philosophy and craft/code itself. I would consider them “modern” and point to series like Zelda as an example.

Games like WindWaker feel more connected to Breath of the Wild than it does to Link to the Past or even Ocarina of Time. And I think the same goes for series like Mario, Metal Gear, and so on.

It’s not perfect, but it’s way better for privacy than Google and looks a million times better than Bing. Sometimes the middle path is the best you can hope for / ask of others.

Just the idea/concept felt off… someone should have asked why we need a whole game about a side-character that no one asked for

Ooof… sad for all those devs, but wow was that game was a mistake from the start

I like having either tags or posts that start with the brackets (eg: [venting]) so you know what the poster expects in terms of responses. Are they looking for help or just venting? Is it a meme or actual discussion around a piece of media? It just sets some clear expectations at the start so the threads can be what’s most helpful or productive / fun

Any LLM that’s external to a company should be super off-limits for sensitive data… it seems like common sense, but most employees aren’t tech savvy enough to understand how these things work and learn. Hopefully those business focused tools come out soon and are easy to implement by IT orgs or many of us won’t have access for years lol

YouTube has also been playing with a lot of things around stopping people with ad-blockers from viewing videos both on the site and embedded. That would change the face of the web a LOT for many of us… do you just whitelist them and accept that Google is tracking you all over the web? Is that just the cost of being online now?

Other people power leveling doesn’t really impact me but it’s weird that they want to ruin the game for themselves.

Sad to see, but in the end it will hurt them more than the rest of the fediverse.
