I guess when I complain, I’m not really talking about hosting at all. I’m talking about things being written in stuff like python, with web UIs instead of native software.
I miss native software. And native software could be placed on a server. I prefer to run a Mac Mini for my home server, because I can use as many native apps as possible. Along with the all the other web-interface-based scripts and things.
People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.
Anyway. As someone else pointed out, it’s strange for me to be posting these lamentations in this community. I don’t mean to throw shade or talk shit.
Man, ad free is gonna get fucking expensive over time. I can already see how they will weight the ad tier at “just $9.99” at some point when ad free 4k is $31.99 or something crazy.
If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.
I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.
This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.
One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It's difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you've never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.
I know it's not for everyone. And apologies if I'm over explaining swiping.
I didn’t know it was on Disney+. That’s interesting. It really shows how the TV landscape is shifting away from broadcast.
Fuck Trump, but I think it sorta makes sense for the new “networks” to carry live events like this as we move to all-digital.
Back in the day, when over the air was the main option, it was good that things like this were put in front of people. I still think things like this should be put in front of people.
They still make a big impact on culture and social norms surrounding cheating. But you’re right. There is no fool proof anti-cheat. Software or hardware. Server side authoritative or Peer to Peer. Even with streaming only (Stadia/GeForce Now). None of them are perfect.
It’s all about mitigation and not having a free for all.
I’m aware of situations in games where kick vote does not work, because they hacked that too. This is possible in some situations where the networking is P2P without an authoritative server.
I just asked too, and it says it’s cheating. Note this is with 4o Mini, like the other screenshots.
