True, their games have quite a few very questionable mechanics!

I trust Aptoide less than Google so I stick with the apkpure website as backup but thqt's a lot less convinient for sure!

One of the best memes I have seen on Lemmy so far and there are a few really good ones in that collection already!

Uhm, I just made a playlist called "later", I can't tell any difference to a watch later feature tbh.

Well, Aurora is the only one and it's jalf broken and has a history of lacking development so the situation isn't great but I don't plan to ever get Play Services again ether

Honestly, I don't care to continue this conversation, even the attempt to convince people like you is rather pointless

Lutris should do the trick!

Once again I feel quite comfortable without Google Play serives on my device!

I just wish theu finalky fixed it, the rate limiting is really damn annoying by now! I started to sideload apps from apkpure and update them with Aurora to keep my anonymous user account but it can't take long till that's gone too I guess! :(

Is that the one that explicitely includes "positive depictions of refugees arriving" in the laws text?

There is surprisingly caipable local AI atuff by now but it's very slow even on a high end desktop so I doubt a smartphone would be good for that! :/

I use the third party app ViMusic to access Youtube music, not perfect but it works well, looks really good and it's free and without any ads!

Well the relation is wrong but it's a real thing, they have a duty to grow infinitely or the sroxk price will crash and since that's impossible to achive they essentially have to squeeze their users for short term gains to seem like they still grow sooner or later

What would you call the 30% Steam tax, a justified price? Furthermore you can have a monopoly even if alternatives exist because especially at a certain size many of your users will be lazy and/or simply don't care enough to switch. I like Steam and their service and prefer it over other storefronts except itch.io because they do a fantastic job and don't act especially evil in most ways but I also aknowledge that a small developer essentially has to eat that fee. The only real competitor is Epic and that's just a terrible user experience so many (including me) will rather buy a different indie game than use that and releasing a game on your own can be hard and expensive, well and also comes with less publicity because Steam is also a great way to get some promo.

I never played much CoD so I might be wrong here but there is a difference betwesn debicting war and rewriting history in favor of the US and I think that's what the author wants to point out, the US loves to be debicted as the good guys even if it's anything but true and their collaborations with Hollywood show that really fucking well.

Fuck, this is so stupid it's hard to even responde... Steam has a monopoly on game distribution but Minecraft isn't a Steam competitor just like Fortnite isn't a Play Store competitor! I am done with this thread, it's frustrating to try and explain so many people such basic things if they don't want to hear them!

I don't think there is much of a point in it judging from the rediculess replies I got from you and others but that's just plain fucking wrong, a monopoly is a entity with abusable position and not a entity abusing it's position! "In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly

Yea, they are a lot smaller and not that far yet but also a really cool project and definitely worth supporting too! It's not exactly the same kind of device (you do need a certain amount of knowledge to fix stuff) but also very repairable, unlike with the Fairphone I don't know anyone who owns one tho so I can't say that much about it.

The historical term has nothing to do with todays use, that's just the roots of the damn word. According to your logic monopolies can't exist, Microsoft wouldn't be one and Amazon and so on, that's plain wrong...

No, the market position makes a monopoly! What you are talking about are anticompetitive practices, a monopoly enables you to leverage those in a damaging way but they aren't part of a monopoly...
