We’re at a point where the improved user experience is enough justification.
Every service ever is putting revenue above costumer satisfaction. Every streaming app gets in the way of what you want to watch so they can funnel you to the same 3 Movies/TV Shows. Searching is almost useless you get a few results related to your search term and the rest is unrelated garbage.
The other day I was watching a movie at a friend’s house on Netflix. When you hit pause, the movie minimizes into a card on the left and the rest of the screen turns into a fucking advertisement.
Like, not even a “recommendation” for another movie on the service, just a full blown ad for something else, ours was a food delivery app ad.

I’ve gotten spoiled by the Piracy experience. Over here it’s me first and me above everything.
None of my ‘services’ fill my screen with ads for their new season so the shareholders can recoup their half a billion investment.
They show me my media and get the fuck out of my way. It’s refreshing.
The apps are made by people who actually use them daily and there’s no pressure to make a “return of investment”, they just make the best user experience they can and that’s it.

Steamdeck is NOT officially recommended as there is NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT YET

That’s exactly what Steam Input and the touchpads were designed for

Ah, I miss Unity

That someone is about to receive one beautiful gift!

I saw her glare at me out of the corner of my eye

As if you were the one putting the Ads into Prime lol

Motorola and Xiaomi are still releasing Dual SIM phones over here, it works as expected.

Fucking duh.
Carriers fucking suck in every metric possible, you have to be insane to want to get their shitty support and shitty apps involved in anything more than the strictly necessary

Awesome! I’ve been using a random build from the GitHub Actions for a while now, glad to see it get a proper release.
I do wish it supported 10.10.7 though, I’m resitant to upgrade to 10.11 in lieu of all the performance issues people have been reporting…

Fight fire with fire. Time for the Chinese Kids to start spamming their parents with AI-gen’d videos of Men and Women regretting getting married.

OSHA has gone too far

Well, PolyMC (PrismLauncher antecessor) was forked from MultiMC after its dev had a big disagreement over how it was packaged in Linux Distros, so I suppose it makes sense the primary audience is Linux

They probably don’t care enough

Don’t know if I’m horrified or jealous

God, the modern Google TV launcher is so fucking ass. Ads every fucking where.
Last week I was setting up my box and the first thing it showed me was a Netflix ad that I think contained spoilers for Squid Game??? (I don’t watch that show but it looked like a serious spoiler)

Get your friend Projectivity Launcher.

Modern integrated GPUs have gotten pretty good lately. If it comes a day where we can’t buy GPUs, we’ll be able to enjoy older titles without much trouble at least…

Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that the Limewire you knew is no longer. From Wikipedia:

Name reuse by unrelated companies
In 2022, Austrian brothers Julian and Paul Zehetmayr bought LimeWire’s intellectual property and turned it into an NFT service.
LimeWire’s name was revived in 2022 for an unrelated music-based NFT platform, an action with which Gorton expressed displeasure.

Please don’t use no crypto bro NFT infused trash. Go watch the segment from Archive.org.
Seed the torrent if you wanna spread the word.

It’s infinitely safer than this sketchy ass company.

They could. But Java is much more moddable, so whatever they did the community would undo almost immediately.

Android switched to not allowing apps to notify you without asking first. Dunno why they didn’t do it sooner.

Bedrock has been doing shitty monetisation for ages. Play Java, enjoy.

Shame this fuck-up only happened in some of the pages.
