It makes perfect sense as a product because running game backups off an SD card without any hardware modding only works on the oldest console version. If you have a Lite or OLED (or even just the patched original model) you need a mod chip which is not an easy install.
Idk…telling lies to potential customers that you know to be bullshit to get money from them based on promises you know you’ll never deliver sure sounds like a scam artist to me:
(From the article)
Molyneux talked in interviews about the pressure to overpromise in order to secure funding, telling Tech Radar that "the behaviour is incredibly destructive, which is 'Christ, we've only got 10 days to go and we've got to make £100,000, for fuck's sake, lets just say anything'."
He is on Mastadon and posts a lot actually. I know he was a huge Twitter user so makes sense I guess.
Though not sure why he seemingly has no interest in Lemmy as a Reddit alternative. Maybe just burned out after all those years working on Apollo I guess.
I just start with “It’s basically just a community owned Reddit” and leave it at that.
I think that gets the important point across. Getting into details about federation and picking servers just makes it sound complicated, when it really isn’t.
Then if someone’s interested I just recommend them a larger server and let them go from there.
I think people way over complicate things from the start and turn people off before they even try it.
This is the second time in like 2 days I’ve seen someone complain about Boost missing some super basic functionality. The other one was someone asking the commenter to post a link to a photo instead of embedded in it since Boost didn’t support zooming in on embeds. Maybe Boost is just a bad client lol
Remember RAID is not a backup! RAID is for increasing uptime and only happens to help protect data (in some cases) as a side effect. Make sure you have backups of anything important or irreplaceable on that drive, preferably offsite!
Apple doesn’t review it that thoroughly. They could easily send people’s credentials up to some server and Apple would likely not catch it.
What I mean is don’t just trust it because it’s in the App Store.
I personally use it because it has an active GitHub and is one of the more popular mobile clients. Also I don’t really care if my accounts get hacked in the first place lol so I’m also trying out Mlem beta and Wefwef. But even with that said I wouldn’t just try out any random new client that came along.
Also if it’s a desktop app they could just put the malicious code in the binary download 99% of people will use, or if it’s a web app, they just put it in their hosted version, etc.
I totally agree with using strong unique password manager generated passwords for every server (as everyone should do for every service they use regardless) but my email has been leaked so many times by so many breaches I’m not sure I really care about that part at this point…
Yeah if your blood cells would stop eating so much avocado toast maybe they could afford a house!
