  • That makes no sense at all why they impose this ruling on Android that had side loading to begin with but don't force Apple wide open to actually allow side loading. Makes the whole thing seem like an empty gesture of nothing actually being accomplished.

  • Aside from wiki drama seems like a bunch of nothing with good reviews from Steam and it seeming to not have any drama people would be aware of if it wasn't for the article. Without it people wouldn't know about the wiki stuff with how quickly it was dealt with.

    Not seeing any drama on /r/silenthill too.

  • Thanks to ram and ssd upgrade I still use my laptop that's going a decade now for basic web browsing and videos. Best way to show the green initiative would be to provide people upgrade paths that doesn't lead to ewaste so their devices can be used a few years longer than it would without it.

    But, only green initiative that is the concern is stock prices.

  • Aside from lemmy...

    Twitter with Squabler which is nice not getting any ads and accounts I follow through the app shown in chronological order. No ads.

    Reddit with Stealth which is another nice app not needing an account to subscribe to subreddits and save comments or posts. No ads.

    YouTube with newpipe and freetube which is another nice app that let's me subscribe, skip sponsors, no ads, and no need for an account.

  • I've played the Steins;Gate ones and DDLC. I like that it's relaxing when I don't feel like doing something super interactive and the branching paths when it comes to story is cool. I picked up Chaos;Head Noah which I haven't started yet but look forward to getting into the other visual novels in to SciADV series.

    Steam Deck has been how I've read them, and it's been great with the suspend feature making it book like in getting into it and out of it convenient.

  • Well tech illiterate people are the last ones I'd trust to properly side load and doing their due diligence of knowing the source of their apk instead of a random one they found on the web.

    Personally when I install F-droid on a new phone I make sure to check the signing keys or at the very least the checksum. As unsafe as Google Play can be I trust tech illiterate people even less of safely getting apks.

  • Was curious of what the step is and found this video for Samsung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6TMvBQ7Sm0

    And for Google Pixel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD9nsSmDG_8

    Doesn't seem too different from the old enable unknown apps aside from Samsung requiring an additional step. Unless third party apps get completely blocked having to enable it doesn't seem like a bad thing with how clueless lot of people are about apks and risks associated with them if they didn't get it from a safe source.

  • It was enough to make me too lazy to bother even when the hype was there. Now it seems even the community that plays/played it is negative on it so even less likely to bother with Ubisoft launcher for it than at launch. I have UPlay installed too, but I don't even know if anyone in my friend list from Steam was playing it compared to other games that they are shown playing.

  • SSD for sure. Even on devices less powerful the general desktop experience is superior on ssd than a more powerful PC. Boot time and programs load up so much faster making the OS feel way snapier instead of a constant wait for even a browser to load.
