AMD could block the sale of Intel due to a cross-licensing agreement
Jokes aside, this is an amazing book series, I loved it
It seems he wasn't banned from Fortnite, just from participating in tournaments. So he may very well cheat in fortnite again, as his account wasn't banned.
Being said, nice of them to donate the winnings to charity, half expected them to just keep the money.
Yeah it seems I misunderstood what those tablets were,
I did find the old Samsung Tab tablets that would do pretty decent job though, those are somewhat around the same price range too, like 70-140ish range preowned
And looking into the kobo clara series it does look like those are about 120-130 second hand currently so not as bad
unfortunately though, due to the same issues there isn't a very large second hand market of those either. Like the cheapest remarkable second hand I could find was still 300$ and the cheapest pine note was 270$ for preowns.
when you compare it to the kindle which has preowns starting at 40$ it's a hard buy
yea, but I feel like it's worth saying that steamdeck (where most of the steamos instances are) runs primarily in steam mode, and runs immutable OS by default so it's pretty hard to actually mess that up. Plus steam manages most updates for you instead of you managing the updating yourself, which also helps remove the skill factor.
NGL; it put a sour taste in my mouth when I got to the butcher knife part, I refused to use it lol
fully agree, if that was their main reason i would understand, its just the blatant disregard for the actual meaning of the show. As someone who was a pretty big fan up to black/white, their reasoning's for not being able to watch it seems absurd. Like sure you catch Pokemon and force them to fight, 100% valid. It's just judging the entire thing based off the personality style of both TR and Misty seemed ridiculous IMO. Like sure Misty and Jessie weren't amazing on the personality side for the first season or two, but like they did get better, and it was clear that the rudeness wasn't meant to be what the focal point was.
that could be true, if I didn't double check the sources. If that is how you would be doing it then sure, but I use it as a guideline not a rule, and check for facts after.
There's nothing wrong with using something as a blueprint/template. Seeing a strong lean in credibility or positioning tells me that I should be more serious on fact checking on it as there will be bias.
I've recently setup an recipe archival project using tandoor, I'm working on converting all my grandparents fading old as dust cooking recipes from their misc handwritten cursive notecards to digital.
Setup was uneventful but it took a little research to figure out how to use a remote postgres server, turns out the app doesn't give an error when it can't connect to the server, it just fails to run
Have to say the actual program itself is absolutely absurd and how they choose their permissions, it breaks all conventional and took quite a bit to get used to.
omg this didn't effect me but I had family members who couldn't even watch pokemon due to the concept that you are enslaving animals and that Jessie in team rocket and misty were too rude.
I understand raising your kids but damn talk about being sheltered by your parents.
oh no whatever will they do, only having 990m revenue instead of 1.4b revenue.
Granted yeah that's fair, a 31% revenue loss is a drastic change. Too bad they'll never understand why and blame others. I'm sure they still were net positive in income though
you likely won't find an unbiased opinion regarding that here. Members tend not do their own research and only live to complain about the existence of it.
I share the same opinion as yours, I would rather have a sometimes inaccurate listing than no listing at all. The complaints people have about it are what I enjoy using it for, it lets me know to look for certain things on the article before I enter so I know if I should take it with a grain of salt or not.

I've used Voyager before and while it comes close, unless they changed how the app operates, I don't think that app fits the description that I'm asking for.
The entire issue with Lemmy is the Federation aspect of it, while it's a good thing to have it's way too confusing for the everyday person. For example I use eternity, the only layout that remotely looks decent in my opinion. It worked similar to Voyager where when you open it for the first time it brought you to an instance and then when you went to make an account it asked you which instance you wanted to make the account on. That right there is going to turn away a good 30 to 40% of the people looking. I know it almost turned me away.
For the point of responding to this comment I reinstalled Voyager, I'm going to portray my experience from someone who doesn't have experience with the fediverse. If you don't wish to see the narration, you can skip the rest
Okay cool I see a bunch of posts, I expect this lem.ee thing is the program oh fun they have Politics on the front page I thought I was trying to avoid that but okay there are some memes here that are pretty cool, let me try to like one,
oh I need an account yeah that makes sense, neat they have a learn more button(most people likely won't click this btw) okay an entire page explaining that the programs like an email client, how is up voting content like receiving emails 😕(personally think they should have used subscribe/follow for that imo)
Okay cool I think I get it let me just use the default instance, let me just skip past all of this pointless TOS stuff, "please write I accept acknowledging that you've read the rules in the sidebar on the front page." uhh Sidebar? Well I don't know how to get to that so let me try the next instance, lemmy.world sounds good. and that one is a 1 2 3 process(if email verification works)
From here they have a functioning account but the app has failed to tell them the core aspects of what federation is, they've failed to explain what defederation is, they failed to explain what the repercussions of choosing an instance does, it's only explained that Lemmy is like email, and to the everyday user, email is identical across all providers, users very rarely if at all have an email provider actively block an email server because they don't agree with what's going on there. For example in the case of LW by choosing that platform you're actively removing yourself from anything that's against their mentalities such as the piracy community, you're also subjecting yourself to a somewhat heavy moderation style instance and also subjecting yourself to hatred in the community without actually realizing you're doing so. You won't know this tell you get told by a user (and you WILL get told by a user).
This could be avoided by having a integration with fediseer or being able to integrate with the instances Blacklist so you can see what is blocked. Or even just a link to their rules would be amazing.
That's my main annoyance in current mobile apps, they are only decent for established fediversers. Most people would have left second or third message into my experience and just gone back to other platforms
I thought about it, but immediately dismissed it cause they would lose their entire user base. It would be far too complex to have whitelist based access, as soon as anyone realized how restrictive it is they would bail
you returned it as soon as that was the answer right? I know that would be my answer.

Fully agree with that, the bar is too to high usually unless you're being handheld through the process, realistically there should be an app like how blue sky is that doesn't give you any of the options because less options means easier setup. If they want to jump instances after that that would be considered an advanced function but they can choose to do so on their own accord.
Another issue I think is lack of actual awareness, like Bsky got media coverage, the everyday person still is like "the hells a lemmy"
I dislike how little security and moderation it has myself. Too basic, IRC seemed to have better moderation support but granted they used bots for more advanced stuff. Not to mention how clunky it seems. That is ignoring the even higher bar required to even get started, having to find both a client and a server to get started is a pretty high bar for a lot of people.
You don't even have to leave the work Sim at home, a lot of phones allow you to just disable the SIM card in your settings. For example my phone has three SIM card slots in the settings. It has the primary sim, Sim 2 and then it has the esim. Granted I only use sim one and Sim 2 is a SIM card for a pay as you go style carrier that way if I ever get in trouble with my current carrier I can just activate it and go.
Back when I was in retail, Sim 2 was my "work sim" , paid for by the company, when I clocked out for the day I just turned it off
Less wear and tear on the phone as well by doing that
the article states that when a company is sold, they need to renegotiate a new contract. So it looks like it does automatically terminate on sale, and it would be up to them to make a new contract.
I assume the person meant that they could make a new contract with the new names if they wanted to.
