As best as I can tell, the addon recommended there has been discontinued as a result of having to fight Netflix's DRM. Most recent posts report frequent issues with it. I was looking at other services, and unfortunately it seems the same or worse. I might try launchbox as another user suggested, and just use it to launch Windows apps, but I haven't tested it yet.

If you have any experience with using Kodi with streaming services? I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for it, but testing it out, I didn't really see a good way to integrate it with things like Netflix or YouTube - not even a good way to launch the Windows apps for them.

If you have experience with Kodi, how did you use it with streaming services (if you did)? I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for it, but testing it out, I didn't really see a good way to integrate it with things like Netflix or YouTube - not even a good way to launch the Windows apps for them.

Am I missing something? Kodi doesn't seem to have any support for any streaming services, nor any good way to launch the relevant apps from the home screen?

Dota does too but its fairly hidden and requires unanimous agreement. That said, Dota is far less snowbally, so unlike League or Deadlock, it rarely makes sense to forfet very early.

This is happening in the United States’ backyard, and the US government is doing nothing to intervene other than complain about migrants.

Unless the Haitian government is willing to give significant control of the country over to the US, or pay for US weapons and mercinaries like Israel does theres not a lot they can reasonably do beyond providing financial aid and humanitarian support, as they have been. What else would you have them do, invade Haiti?

Do you know if it works anything like the Steam Deck's game mode? For example, could I potentially add shortcuts for Chrome with specific launch options, or maybe even Kodi? I tinkered with setting up shortcuts for non-Steam items on my SteamDeck and had a some success before, so if its similar, that would probably work well.q

As in just purely screen mirror from a phone?

Thanks for the recommendation. Ill look into Launchbox more.

There is an Avatar TTRPG and it faces similar problems to making a new game based on the series, and handles it similarly to what you're suggesting.

The TTRPG divides the setting into Eras, Kyoshi era with the nations still being established, Roku era with established nations, The Hundred Years War era taking place during the war but before Ang wakes, The Aang era, after the show and its sequel comics, and the Kora era taking place after TLoK and its comic trilogy. Notably, none take place during the events of the main series. This means that the can create new stories that better fit the medium and don't break cannon, and at the same time, you can still interact with significant characters and tie your story into the cannon such as making a quest resulting from the reprocusions of, or a prerequisite for events in the main canon.

Edit: clearly none of us read the article:

It'll put players in the role of an "all-new, never-before-seen Avatar" and take place thousands of years in the past.

I think its probably just down to the balance of accessiblity to start but devotion required to keep playing, in combination with the very intense monitization that gets put into production and marketing. For comparison:

Something like CS is far more accessible, but has a much larger portion of casual players and has Valve's laissez-faire development/marketing. Valorant is is like CS but even more casual. Dota breeds far more devoted players, but the game is so complex it can't grow, and again, has neither the high production value nor the marketing because Valve. There are games like Fortnite that can compete in scale, but the nature of the game and the focus on fun content over competitve integrity mean that the tournaments are more marketing events than measures of skill.

Because on every other platform, a title like that won't compete with clickbait and ragebait. Its only really here (and to a lesser extent Reddit) where clickbait negatively impacts a video's spread. Until people want to post here specifically, that won't change.

Tech, from my experience, has a lot of job postings, but its very difficult to actually get an interview nonetheless a job. I'm not entirely sure why its so difficult, as there does seem to be a pretty big need for it across the board. My best guess is mix of companies needing employees but not being willing to hire/train them leading to "fake" postings (alongside those just meant for data collection), and just a generally competitive market right now.

Better than early CS:GO levels, but not as good as late, official CS:GO levels. That said, part of that is for performance and functionality sake, given that I wantted to leave the play area as clear as possible.

I made a fairly pretty Counter Strike level.

At the same time, the goal of dark patterns to to make people spend more money. Given that revenue is very likely one of the key things Google wants (and thus promotes) out of apps, its also entirely expected that the apps people find are largely those who try and get the most money from users, which requires dark patterns.

Ahhhhh. 4 dozen.

I think my blocklist is about 1/3 spam, 1/3 hatespeach, blatent disinformation and promoting genocide, and 1/3 untagged nsfw. Its a couple dozen users right now.

On my old account it was hundreds (almost all hate-speech, disinformation, and promoting genocide), but Hexbear has been defederated and I've givien up and blocked .ml so I don't run into much of that anymore.

He chews on everything - paper bags? Food. Our wooden furnature? Tasty! The metal folding chairs? Yum!

This same cat also breifly learned to turn off the internet and force us out when we were being too boring (such as when trying to fall asleep). We started locking him in a room overnight for a little while, and he seemed to forget how after that, luckily.
