Fuchsia is coming any day now!

Lol, I have the exact opposite opinion. BotW took what made Zelda frustrating (annoyingly linear, samey, and poorly-explained) and gave you a whole world filled with puzzles and exploration!

Isn’t that the purpose of the work profile?

Huge growth (in the month after we released a new phone)

Surprised they’re even thinking that far ahead!

I was keeping in mind that they put that much money in, surely all that money has made something playable that would make some money, whereas throwing it all away makes nothing at all, right?

“Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional,” Hulst continued, “but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options [and] after much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.”

But why? Did they actually think it was going to cost more money to keep the servers running than it would bring in? What’s the opposite of the sunk cost fallacy?

Yeah I’d had my eye on this for a bit, it seems disappointingly bare-bones in terms of features which is a shame. Guess I’ll be sticking with the increasingly-broken neo/omega launcher for a while!

I use Cryptomator on desktop and Android and while I think it is a slightly different use case than syncthing, it can probably cover a lot of similar uses. And yeah, on Android you don’t actually have a local copy of all your stuff, you can just upload, download, or edit text files.

So it’s 2FA for unlocking your device, which is good in principle but will need some serious reliability updates first

It’s a fair point, and I used to read a lot of articles that made me say “fuck off”, but eventually I realised it was happening regardless of my grumbles so I may as well not let them stress me out!

Guys… these phones aren’t for people like us anymore. The days of computers being just for techies who like to tinker are over because the market for “normal” people is so much larger, and the causal user just wants to text some people and watch some videos. They neither want nor need the things that we consider fundamental, so don’t get frustrated that the shiny stuff now isn’t aimed at us.

multiple human hands

It wasn’t weird until you specified human

Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store

Does this cover GApps in general, I wonder?

it wanted … Google to stop being able to tie Android APIs to Google Play.

I feel this would have been really big news

The Apple case is already over, and Apple mostly won

Seems crazy that Google is forced to open up when Android is already kind of open but Apple get away with keeping iOS very closed

Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first

Lol, as if Epic got away with this given that it’s exactly what they do with PC games!

Why Google allows apps to block a system service from inputting information is beyond my understanding, but it’s absolutely infuriating, and just discourages the use of these tools.

This is the really annoying bit

Faced with the return of one of humanity’s greatest threats, you have no choice but to head to THE TENTH CIRCLE OF HELL:

🇬🇧 THE UNITED KINGDOM OF 🇬🇧 GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND

I think we should put this on the tourist brochures

I’ve got a couple of good ones on my pebble

My first thought when I saw it was “I’ll start my own app store with blackjack and hookers”. Does it still only have about ten apps available? If so then why would anyone use it other than to have a play with a new thing?

It does have the backing of GrapheneOS though, which is comparatively huge.

Hey beehaw, I’ve got the hottest off-the-press rumour for you today: I predict video game companies will continue to produce video games for the foreseeable future! Unbelievable, I know, but my insider knowledge tells me that companies often seek profit by providing goods and services.

That’s the one
