Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that's been tested and audited (unless it's following something like this EU thing of course)

rbits ,

Ok, I mean if you're getting financially screwed by your partner in a divorce, it's probably a good thing that you're getting divorced.

To further explain, the joke is that "tomo tawa" could mean either "car" or "moving house"

rbits ,

Tell that to uber eats

rbits ,

That's impressive, getting the dogs to all sit at the table at once

The app also doesn't let you add your own music, though... Very annoying, cause some songs aren't on streaming services

rbits ,

The email vendor doesn't really matter though unless you are sending or receiving emails. Phone numbers require you to pay a carrier every month. And while most people have phone numbers, some don't, especially children.

My mum used iMessage to communicate with my sister before she got a phone number. If she switched to Android, I guess there's Google Chat, but you know how Google is with their chat apps.

Ideally you'd be able to choose between phone number OR email. Like iMessage.

rbits ,

Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don't think I'd be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She'd probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

rbits ,

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that's just for if you don't want to give out your phone number.

rbits ,

Top or bottom?

(Taskbar positions)

rbits ,

Yeah. It's not even the fact that they don't implement Nearby Share themselves that's bad, it's that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can't even implement Nearby Share themselves

rbits ,

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. I don't think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it's a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn't really matter. But don't say there are NO upsides.

rbits ,

You can send a screenshot of your rumor log to the Outer Wilds discord if you want a hint, they're always helpful. Or I can help if you want

rbits ,

Chants of Senaar too. I feel like the only game in the image that has you doing that stuff a bunch is Outer Wilds

rbits ,

Yeah. Had that problem with Chants of Senaar and Return of the Obra Dinn. Keeping notes definitely helps though.

rbits ,

Yeah. The number one reason I won't subscribe is that if their library is missing a song, you can't even add it yourself. Both Spotify and Apple Music allow adding your own MP3s, how does Tidal not have that feature?!

rbits ,

I love it because I never use liked songs (I don't understand how people do, using the same playlist forever. Do your tastes never change? Idk each to their own).

So it means 1: I can easily add songs to multiple playlists at once. I have 4 different playlists that I listen to, and sometimes a song fits all 4, and it used to take 12 taps to add it to all 4 (tap dots, tap add, tap playlist, 4 times). Now it only takes 6.

2: I can now see if the song is already in a playlist. Before the only way was to try adding it to the playlist and see if it warned me of a duplicate.

3: Now I can see at a glance if it's added to a playlist. If it's added to 1 playlist then it's probably added to all the playlists it needs to be.

And you can still add songs to your liked songs in 1 tap. I feel like the reason most people dont like it is because it's a change that they aren't used to.

But really, the ideal solution would've been if Spotify just added a settings option to change it back to the old way. But Spotify seems to be vehemently opposed to options.

Also, what's way worse than the new like button is the stupid "smart shuffle". I just want to turn off shuffle, but now I have to press it again. And it's also really buggy, it will often display shuffle as off when it's really on smart shuffle, so I get unpleasantly surprised with some random song I've never heard. I really wish there were third party apps for Spotify, cause the Spotify app kinda sucks

rbits ,

Also what is the change to playlists? I wasn't aware Spotify had folders. Did they remove them?

Edit: Nevermind they're still there. What did they change?

rbits ,

Need a Plex server though :/

Also cost $6.50AUD a month, way too much.

rbits ,

Yeah I just wish there was a toggle.

Also didn't they have a thing like smart shuffle before, it was just called radio. But they seem to have removed it and replaced it with smart shuffle for playlists. I can only see the radio option for albums. That was better, because then it only did it when I wanted it.

rbits ,

How do you set it up without a server. I can't get past this screen

Plexamp Select a Library screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that's pretty vital...

rbits ,

Ehhh I don't like the new one. Calibri's better. I wish it had a better g though.

rbits ,

Damn. So still not a replacement for iMessage. Does anyone know of a good iMessage replacement (doesn't require a phone number, available for under 13s)?

rbits ,

This change impacts every mobile user, not just iPhone users. iPhones are a good portion of the userbase of most apps/websites. For PWAs to gain mass adoption, it needs to be available for the majority of users. This change means that will not be the case in the EU.

PWAs have just been doomed by Apple, and unless Apple reverts this change, they will now never be successful in the EU. And probably not even outside of the EU since non-european products still have european users.

rbits ,

And then capitalism that made the company repeatedly ask for him to stop researching it.

rbits ,

Did N64 games work on the Sega Genesis?

No, but Playstation games did https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Bleemcast!
And Sony sued them but failed

rbits ,

They're still being updated by people on GitHub https://github.com/C1710/blobmoji
You can use them if your phone is rooted https://github.com/DavidBerdik/blobmoji
There's probably also a way to use it on Samsung without root since they support custom fonts

rbits ,

It's different for different people. The distro, the hardware, and the game can all have an effect on how often problems arise.

rbits ,

Everyone in the comments: "Actually I don't have the same problems so this is wrong"

rbits ,

Still applies though. "Oh but it used to be worse"

rbits ,

Yeah, I mean, the best thing to do is to get it working ahead of time.

rbits ,

He said "The closest I've ever gotten to sleep paralysis", so I guess it wasn't quite sleep paralysis or something

rbits ,

Nah, it's magic, it can just make it so that the girl happened to be in the right place. Maybe it told the girl that she would find true love there and she decided to go.

rbits ,

as practiced

People who agree with communism "as practiced" are usually ridiculed by others on lemmy, from what I've seen.

rbits ,

I use Linux as my daily driver, yet I 100% believe Linux is overrated. It's great if you're willing to put in the work to get it working well, or maybe if you have someone else to do all your tech support for you, but it's just not a good option for the majority of people.

I hate when people keep trying to push it on Windows users, especially when they go on about how "easy" it is. It's not. And doing that will get people to try it out with high expectations and then get disappointed when they try it out and that's not the case.

rbits ,

I switched to Linux last year, and I used Linux Mint, which people say is the easiest, and then KDE Neon which I'm still using now, which is definitely way better than Linux Mint but it's still not easy. I'm fine with it, and I personally prefer it to Windows, but I could never imagine my parents or my friends trying to use it without help.
