I really can’t imagine jt be that bad. It should just be an occasional ping, unless you want to track on demand. At least that’s how the Apple Find My ecosystem works. If I don’t check a device’s location, it doesn’t ping for hours, but then if I want, I can watch a device in real time (impacting battery of course). I’d imagine google’s implementation will be similar
Hard to be too upset about this. Everything’s getting more expensive, and I’m assuming music rights holders have been squeezing Spotify more and more. I’d love to go back to music piracy, but having an enormous library available at a moment’s notice is worth the extra dollar to me. I do have a pretty huge collection of video game music since the big N refuses to license their music
Yeah, it goes against the grain a bit, but I like a bit of centralization. I don’t want the entire site to be centralized, but I like big communities. I’m a big formula 1 fan for example, and it’s just not helpful for me to be in ten different small f1 communities here. I’d much rather there be one big one that even remotely approaches the quality of the f1 subreddit.
Really looking forward to this. Played the demo during a Steam next fest over the winter and fell in love. Gato Roboto is one of my favorite games as well
Feels like a copypasta
I’ve already seen number 1 happen. I’ve had a completely unacceptable amount of non-nsfw tagged porn hit my front page being posted to various Lemmy.world communities, all by shitjustworks users. I’m getting pretty close to abandoning the platform myself because I don’t need that shit coming up on my phone when I’m just trying to browse
Edit: that said, I’m not going back to Reddit. I’ll just abandon this type of site altogether and spend more meaningful time with my family and read more books
How about Apico?
Made it so that L/R button operation on the class selection screen and course selection screen in the Grand Prix can be conducted on touchscreen as well.
I had no idea this game had any touch screen support
Looks great! Curious to see how it runs on switch
Is there a point where there are so many instances that propagating all that data is too taxing and worse than having fewer bigger instances?
Yeah, I’m cautiously optimistic that if they do truly join the fediverse, we’ll finally have our real twitter replacement (aka relatively community friendly tech that’s accessible to people who don’t want to hear the word instance, AND the big benefit that basically everybody already has an instagram account). I haven’t used twitter since the musk takeover, but a lot of people whose opinions and reporting I care about still do. Most of them never bothered with the migration to mastodon, although lots of them are on bluesky. I’m hoping that the easy of availability of Threads gets them over there, and that the fediverse connection doesn’t take too long so I can start to interact with them via Mastodon without having to agree to all those permissions. Sorry, kinda lost the plot there.
That seems weird…67% AMD and 33% Intel? Meaning zero percent of polled Linux users play on nvidia?
I wish I could say the same honestly. I mean, I don’t really miss browsing Reddit, but I miss some of the smaller communities that haven’t made their way over here (or are so tiny here that there’s no discussion), and I hate how many of my Google queries point me to Reddit links because I refuse to open them on my phone
Yeah, I hit a point around 2018 where I went from being a huge fan of Google’s to switching to iOS and trying to degoogle my life as much as possible (but also not wholly relying on one company for anything. I still have Google photos, but I also have local backups of all my photos, plus they’re in OneDrive and iCloud for example)
Apple, honestly. I’m a windows and Linux guy primarily, but nobody makes a laptop that feels as premium, has incredibly battery life, and holds up over time as Apple.
After 20 years of shitty windows laptops (which I would inevitably put Linux on for better performance as the hardware degraded), we bought my wife an m1 MacBook air right when they first came out. Three years later and it’s still at 98% battery health, the keyboard and trackpad still feel great, and it performs as well as the day we bought it. I don’t play league so I can’t vouch for how it specifically runs but there are articles out there saying it’s possible
Yeah, it makes perfect sense from the perspective of the company. I just disagree with its value as an employee
Man, that looks awesome. I’d love to get an e-bike but I haven’t yet for two reasons:
Edited to add: It’s worth mentioning that I don’t live in an area that’s remotely safe to replace driving with cycling. My neighborhood abuts a 55mph road and to get into town involves taking the 70mph interstate. You can take the back roads but they’re super hilly and twisty and foresty and visibility is horrible. I have seen people on bikes, but every time I do I wonder how they’ve avoided getting hit by a car, especially considering the monster trucks people drive around here. Cycling will unfortunately likely remain just a hobby for me for the forseeable future because I love my house and neighborhood and have no plans to move; I just have to be cool with driving (which I am; I love my car)
Yeah, I agree, but I also kind of like it? I know it goes against a lot of popular opinion online, and obviously it’s annoying that I have to drive 5 minutes to get to a grocery store or 15 to drop my kid off, but my neighborhood is cut into the middle of the woods so we’re secluded and we get to see lots of wilderness around us. But our houses are close together so we’re all really friendly with each other and have a great community where it feels totally safe to let the kids play outside until far after dark.
It also helps that I love driving, and I specifically love my car, so even though I’ve driven 20K miles / 32K km in the past year, it doesn’t feel like much time wasted because I’ve loved doing it
I don’t know that I fully support mandatory retirement age or term limits, but something has to be done about out how poorly the demographics of government align with the demographics of the nation
