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.
Samsung s23 ultra is my first Samsung and despite having come from Pixels and Oneplus I found I actually liked the Samsung stuff like edge panel, one hand plus+ operation, and sound assistant. All the good lock additions was like getting custom rom features. Find it hard to consider a phone without something like the Spen too now, since I use it to take notes and select text.
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’m jealous of the tildes app since I loved reddit is fun.
Blocking the lemmit bot was enough to avoid them for me.
Federation model works, since people can make their own instance where they set the rules or join an instance that is federated with the instances they want. Like kbin.social I think is federated with lemmygrad and bunch of other places.
I think people are just having trouble getting used to the idea of not needing one central site to deliver everything they want. Don’t forget. These aren’t corporate run websites running with the goal of monetization, but user run and cost them real world money that they are opening up to users to use for free.
There is some degree of entitlement that isn’t necessary to begin with, since if people are that upset they can make their own or join a more networked fediverse instance.
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.
I don’t see them saying they don’t tip, but arguing against the system in place. Which are two separate things.
Yeah, people don’t likes hidden charges or surprise fees. It’s “optional” but not really if you want to be a part of society.
I’d rather have that. Why is responsibility of covering wages shifting to the customer? And in return the blame? Sounds like a situation those in charge love, since instead of them being the bad guy they get to say “what an asshole customer right?” it’s their fault your take home pay is lower today.
Hiding behind the customer going darn then it’s out of my hands. Don’t got money to spare. Then they hop in their expensive car and drive to their expensive home instead of them being the ones to pay a proper wage for their employees.
Sounds like a misleading system all around.
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.
So the answer is piracy. It’s the one circulation of digital copies where corporate decisions have little no influence on the accessibility or activation of those cracked games.
And here’s the direct link from Ubisoft themselves.

Accounts tied to an active Ubisoft subscription, or an activated PC game, no matter where it was purchased will not be eligible for deletion.
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.
