Yeah definitely

Well factorio doesn't seem to be getting free updates anymore, that was mostly only during early access. They've decided to do paid DLC now instead.

Most relatable comic I've seen in a while

Can confirm this is true because the same was true for my mum. She was against the COVID vaccine, but then she started believing that the theories were started by the Chinese government to target people who don't listen to the authorities.

The problem is I don't have an old phone. But yeah I eventually figured that out for a game that I couldn't find online. So what I did was created an emulator on my computer with an old version of Android and logged into my account on that.

Fuck google. I just want to be able to play minit on my phone, but no, Google says it's not good enough for me because they haven't updated the app in a while. You know, like most games. Of course they haven't updated the app, the game is finished, they've moved on from it.

Maybe the whole abandonware thing applies to regular apps, but in my experience most games without microtransactions get updated for a bit when they're released and then never again. Because there's no reason to update your game once you've fixed all the bugs, unless you're not adding new content.

I cannot tell you the number of times I've thought about a game that I used to like and looking for it on the Play Store, only to find out it's been taken down and I have to go for an hour long search through sketchy sites to find it. It's fine if you only play new games, but from my experience, the majority of old games are just not available, unless they're made by a studio that's still big enough to keep up with the requirements. For no good reason.

I would fully understand having a warning for old apps. They could even hide them from recommendations. But if I want to install an "abandoned" app, I should be able to.

Right, so Ubuntu

Nah I'm pretty sure it's still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they're still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

I don't think that's true

I'm 21, but people talk about winamp online all the time so I'm pretty familiar

Would you rather shit in a sentient toilet that begged you not to shit in it, or one that begged you to shit in it?

Well then obviously if you use libraries, your code is too complicated

I think spoiler tag support is the most important thing missing from Boost. @rmayayo@lemmy.world please fix this

Yeah that's because lemmy is way more of an echo chamber so everyone agrees with each other more.

Huh, Linux uses GPLv2? Does anyone have any info about why?

Edit: Found a video https://youtu.be/PaKIZ7gJlRU. Makes sense. Complete freedom to use and modify the software means freedom to use the software in a proprietary device with DRM, as long as you still give the changes to the public.

Damn, the US needs to get their shit together

Right, so similar to locks? Usually can be easily bypassed if you know how, but it at least filters out the people who aren't determined enough to put in the effort.

I mean, I would've said the same about the mobile apps, but here we are.

Yeah for tech stuff stack exchange is the way to go. But if I'm looking for info on non-tech stuff, there's not really a site that I know of that has a bunch of general user submitted q&a. There's quora, but that's absolutely horrible.

Also even with stack exchange, the rules are a bit more strict there, low effort posts are uncommon which can mean you can't find some stuff there. Although usually there's some other forum you can find your answer on.

Right, but having a centralised search index thingy is better than none at all. Maybe there could be something where it's a joint effort from admins from many of the biggest servers, idk if that would work.

I thought people like 3

Rocket my beloved

If this is about crowdstrike, idk if that quite applies here. I don't think anything really depended on crowdstrike falcon, it just had the ability to break every system it was installed on. If it stopped working but didn't crash the computers no one would care.

Ugh it's a goddamn hero shooter (they say it isn't but it sure looks like it to me). What made splitgate good was the simplicity. I'll still try this out, maybe they manage to make it good, but I don't have my hopes up.

I'm annoyed cause I was actually excited for this

Based

Yeah, 1 hour standup is an oxymoron

I looked that up and it seems similar, but sherbet is fizzy. From what I can find I don't think pixie sticks are

Hmm, yeah pixie sticks seems similar. I don't see anything mentioning pixie sticks being fizzy, though, so that's probably the main difference

Do you not have sherbet in america/europe?

I feel like Australia isn't as dangerous as you think it is

Nope

Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that's been tested and audited (unless it's following something like this EU thing of course)

Oh my god that trailer was so good

You know the bot that replies with a haiku if your comments syllables match? They should do this instead

A tower defense game with a microprocessor theme

Does anyone remember that club penguin tower defence game where you defend against computer viruses?

Ok, I mean if you're getting financially screwed by your partner in a divorce, it's probably a good thing that you're getting divorced.

Yooo foone

To further explain, the joke is that "tomo tawa" could mean either "car" or "moving house"
