Tbh a laptop is a “mobile” device

I’d love to move to Linux but I play some old ass games that I’ve no idea if they’ll work. I missed out a lot of games since my PC was pure ass and it’s just something I like doing.

For eg I want to play OG Deus Ex (never done before), and do a replay of Morrowind with fancy mods. I also recently replayed Splinter Cell because I felt like it.

Noice. Tbh I didn’t post too much on /r/Android as I liked being a mod on it as I’m a huge Android nerd; I think people would have called mod abuse or something if they only saw my posts in the feed lol. People liked to be overtly critical of the modding anyway on that subreddit.

Same here dude I’ve posted ridiculous amounts on [email protected] and did a highlight by highlight match thread on [email protected] once. That last one was painful af.

Oof not great for an app which can cost a fortune to remove ads fully

Not wrong lol. I dislike their behavior but still contribute code to lemmy.

My condolences

What is on Jan 20?

Wait what I thought this was satire at first

The only thing which F-Droid reports is that it uses jawg.io for visualising the map tiles and that is considered non-free is because it is… commercial?

This is the quote from the Streetcomplete github:

Since mid 2020, JawgMaps provides their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free, i.e. the background map displayed in the app.

Personally I don’t care that much about FOSS/non-FOSS but IMO a reason like that is least of my concerns when looking at open source. If they’re providing a free (as in money) service to an open source app then that’s perfectly fine.

I have an account that I use to read, but I’ve never posted on Mastodon. Decided to tweet after seeing this post and I see a privacy option called “Quiet Public - Fewer Algorithmic Fanfares”.

Seriously, wtf is this? What does that even mean? If techie people like me can’t figure out Mastodon then you can’t expect the general public to do that. I’m not blaming this feature in particular, but Mastodon is quirky in all the wrong ways.

Lack of people is genuinely nice for now as Lemmy is still lacking moderation features

Yeah I’m still scared of switching on 2FA in case something goes wrong.

Didn’t he just win the Euros at 17

Honestly at this point there’s a fairly large number of instances so yours would need a selling point to even begin. And that’s before taking things like owner behaviour and strictness into consideration because the instance theme and tools will always be the first impression.

“Generic catch all instances” are common. You can only build up a user base if existing people are willing to ditch their own. What are yours doing that the current ones do not?

• Do you have a focus on a particular topic? I would consider posting a beautiful photo that I took on an instance dedicated to photography rather than the catch all one.
• Is your UI unique/pretty? Which leads me to the next point…
• Do you offer certain tools available/unique to your instance? 1) If yes, why can’t they be integrated with base lemmy? It’s open source after all. 2) If no for whatever reason (Lemmy devs slow to respond, low on their priority, will not accept, I don’t agree with their behaviour etc) is there a reason it cannot be included on other existing instances? Why is it exclusive to yours?

And then I would start looking at the details like what would uptime be, how much are you yourself making an effort to contribute and expand, etc

Nginx is owned by F5 now which is an American company so it’s not RU anymore

That line isn’t going to recover for a while now

Amos was goated

Wut, you create animation not software using Blender
