Activision Blizzard had a plan — or ploy — to launch its own Android game store

  • Swap screen down from the top of the screen - like when you want to see a notification: different devices acts differently, in some you have to swap from upper-right to see the tiles. You can also edit the tiles to add, remove and re-arrange, in order to have the ones you use more often in the first page.

  • "Do not disturb" option should be available as a quick setting tile, which is more complicated to activate from a button combination, but not too hidden in the device settings.

  • For "Do not disturb" (if this is what you ask) you can configure it in device settings: Sound Do Not Disturb section "What can interrupt do not disturb".

  • You have the obligation to use it since the manufactures doesn't gives updates to various versions of the OS, for example, if the device has version 13 and there is an update for 14 if you choose to not get the newer version you'll not get security updates for version 13. Also, newest devices will get only version 14 (or newer) and with the boot loader locked you can't install a different version of the OS.

  • For me, the question is whether I have the right to use a device I bought as I want or not. There is, rightly, a lot of talk about "right to repair," but now the issue is becoming "right to use".
    Can I install an old application that I still find useful or should be the operating system to decide if i can use it, without there being an incompatibility issue?
    Can I decide what permissions I want to give an application or should the Play store (and protect) decide without appeal what I can do?

  • This could be useful. I will add it in the to-do list.

  • "Tags" are similar to twitter hashtags, you can use them to categorize a post. For example, if you create a post about Android you can add the tag "android" (without "#"). When you manage a magazine you can add one or more tags (always without "#") to see posts of the fediverse with that tag.
    I have no idea about "badges" :)

  • I added it in the latest version.

  • I would prefer not to spam kbin about this application, but if you think it might be useful to others you are free to post a link in other magazines/fediverse. Thanks for the tip about Obtainium.

  • I didn't know about it. Can you give me more info?

  • In that case it would not have changed anything. Instead of seeing the Cloudflare page in your regular browser you would have seen the same page in this app, since this app is only a dedicated browser for kbin.social, nothing more.
    This app is like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, but unlike them it only loads by default kbin.social. I think DatasCatSpot's comment explains the only advantage this app has over any other browser for browsing the site.

  • My need was to open the site in a dedicated browser to keep it separate from the default browser, so I put together some code I had available from other projects to create this app. I have shared it in case it might be useful to others, although for most people using the default browser to view the site is the best choice.

  • This gives greater value to the comment since it was not influenced by the events of the last few days.
