After Initial Success, Helldiver’s 2 Has Lost 90% Of Its Players With No Signs Of Recovery
  • Great core gameplay, multiple boring or just bad patches; devs who care more about their imaginary milsim being close to their imaginary reality than about player fun; slow content rollout (still no new race despite them being leaked many months ago)

    In the end I had my fair share of fun but I see no real reason to come back.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • Then don’t use it or don’t complain

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • Spotify is cheap and that’s a fact. What’s the point of complain about single free music service?

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • Just… pay? It’s very cheap.

  • Why We Should Stop Using JavaScript According to Douglas Crockford (Inventor of JSON) - YouTube
  • Always love blaming the tool instead of the hands that use it

  • Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem
  • That’s a con and a pro of decentralized net: if you don’t like the owner, pick another instance or create your own and be the king. Bad news is, every instance is controlled by couple regular folks who’re not responsible financially so they can imply their own rules and post and ban whatever they want.

    Like the jungle: you gotta learn to survive and avoid the monkeys with rabies.

  • Duolingo, a free language learning app, has removed all LGBT-related content from its platform in Russia
  • As per their ceo, they want to provide access to education to all (which is good since educated people are less likely to believe propaganda) and they do not monetize the app in that country in any way, which means no taxes going to putins pocket.

    People are quick to jump to conclusions but they’re right here.

  • Duolingo, a free language learning app, has removed all LGBT-related content from its platform in Russia
  • They do not have any profit in « that market » because app is demonetized in Russia and Belorussia though

  • The Bitwarden addon has a bug that frequently logs you out
  • That’s pretty much the main reason I migrated to proton pass… was bugging me for a year I think

  • Best Android ANC earbuds in the near future?
  • Worth to note that their audio quality and anc is worse than competition noticeably. So its quality vs environment

  • Corporations invested in carbon offsets that were ‘likely junk’, analysis says
  • Throwing money into the fire to escape responsibility does not work? No way!

  • Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game
  • They're big but not even close to goliaths, their 24h online is at 40k more or less, which is nothing like CSGO or apex... Their all time high is less than apex daily active sadly.

    I'm not saying their system is bad, but I am saying that it is still not tested for a large scale though.

  • Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
  • I thought I was alone in this lol

    Win11 literally made me rage uninstall it after I got mad trying to remove all bloatware and then it showed me onedrive ad

  • Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game
  • Pretty sure it's crazy expensive on a large scale, I don't think that people will pay monthly fee to keep playing apex/val/insert game. And more than sure these companies will try to force players to pay for it :/ Previously I had a small chat with aimlabs devs about application of neural networks for it (detecting weird patterns and irregularities, that what NNs are good at as well) but as I understood it would be expensive as well since obviously you want to run the model on your backend's side... It's and endless war between both sides without silver bullet ATM and I don't really understand why people are so mad about my comment lol

  • Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game
  • Many people criticize that, but I can't really think of any non invasive solution to draw away cheaters, except making specialized device to play the game (sort of PS4 to play one single game only?), but pretty sure it won't take long for cheat providers to crack it as well... Sadly.

  • Chinese fighter jet got within 10 feet of US bomber over South China Sea, US military says

  • Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
  • Kinda jealous tbh, I couldn't get my Google news to actually work and it was 40% spam 40% clickbait 20% American news (and I live in Europe)

  • Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?
  • Yes its one time for android, if you're earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there's also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you're just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

    so far so good I think? Dynamic header works more or less nicely I hope.

    GPlay release will take some time because expo hit me with 3 hours queue for build.

    Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?
  • From the perspective of FOSS developer:

    I simply don't want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.

    Android has more ways to distribute, and the "official" way is one time €25 fee and that's it.

  • Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron | Op-ed: PC makers used to need to bring their own add-on bloatware—no longer.
  • If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I'd rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.

    • new dynamic header for general feed (settings -> look and feel) for now, later will be rolled to more screens if everything will go fine

    I know I've been slower with updates, but the app is fairly usable for now and I'm always happy to take feature requests into consideration. Want to experiment with new header for a bit as well... :)

    Release 0.2.1 · nick-delirium/lemmy-fennec

    Very small release that fixes how app behaves once it is opened (0.2.0 sometimes skipped loading feed until you tap something -- for some reason), now initial state loads correctly. Plus, feed will refresh once you change accounts (to avoid JWT token mismatch after you do something with posts)

    With lemmy.world being down so much today I thought I'd better do this asap, to make everyone's experience easier.

    new stuff

    • Account picker. Is lemmy.world down again? Simply jump to your backup account on startrek.website and all's good!
    • User banners in all user profiles (if they exist)
    • Added notification toasts for a few more actions for clarity
    • Changed how followed communities are loaded. Now you see all and they're sorted alphabetically. Downsides? Can't see subscriber count... for now.
    • Some small stylistic changes across the app.

    Do you think that this release is good enough to turn open testing into full release in Google Play? I'm thinking about doing that next week maybe.

    Just a small survey for my users
    • What features do you think this app is still missing?
    • What could be improved?
    • Anything that just upsets you or makes your life garder than it should be?

    I hate when things like this pop-up inside apps or websites, so I decided to simply make a post, even knowing it will reach smaller audience. :)

    so far:

    • Double tap on feed button should go to back to top
    • Replies marked as “read” are still shown in unread replies
    • A click on the own profil picture should show it in a bigger version
    • comments flashing on touch in posts
    • tap on top to change sorting
    • more customization
    • multilemmy (waiting for api on this one, dont want to ddos servers)
    • Banner is not visible
    • Community icons are missing on proifl page in “comments” and “posts”
    • url prompt in md text
    • posts flashing on touch in feed

    Finally sorted everything related to google's review, privacy policy etc etc and now the app is available to download in Google Play store. Its a bit behind in terms of version, but it will catch up fairly soon I hope.

    Note that its in open testing right now and might not be available from search.

    Thats gonna be first release under the new name. I've decided to pick this semi-rubblish name because it's fairly unique and reminds of arctic foxes, which fits the app's icon.

    Small and simple android (for now) client for Lemmy, built with React-Native and Expo. Previously known as Fennec [https://lemmy.world/c/fennec] Currently in beta stage. Last version: 0.1.1 [https://github.com/nick-delirium/lemmy-fennec/releases/tag/0.1.1] Latest build is always in the github repo [...

    Arctius for Lemmy - Lemmy.world

    Today, with the release of 0.1.1 I decided to rename this app to Arctius, to stop the confusion with OS Firefox fork called Fennec.

    New home for the app's updates: !arctius@lemmy.world

    New things in the 0.1.1 include fixes for posting in mod-only communities, some typo fixes, new tab in settings to edit profile (display name, bio, email - for now that's all) and image uploading for posts. Post with link to new release, and all new posts will be created in new community. Cheers.

    Release 0.1.0 · nick-delirium/lemmy-fennec

    As I'm getting tired of linking same post over and over about app's name and since it seems as a major concern for some people, I've decided to hold a vote for future name of this app.

    Have variants, think that current or my proposed name is fine, or anything else -> comment here. Let your voice be heard.

    Current variant I'm thinking about:

    1. Silverfox - no similar names on froid, some similar names on play store, that are not really popular anyways.

    Don't forget to use Obtanium to get latest releases automatically. :)

    How to get latest updates automatically

    While we're not on the google play store, you can use Obtanium.

    Short tutorial:

    • download Obtanium
    • go to "Add App"
    • type in "https://github.com/nick-delirium/lemmy-fennec/" to the first field and add the app.

    Voila! Now you will get all new releases automatically or notified about it if you will chose "track only" mode.

    I've been a bit slower lately due to taking a vacation, but I'm still making changes, new features and improving stuff that's here already :)

    This updates brings comment/post editing, saved posts feed (inside "star" tab, neighbours with followed communities list) and some more smaller improvements

    Small update: going to make a hotfix since post editing actually spawns a new post for some reason haha

    Bigger update:
