I gave up on Sync a few months back. I currently use Thunder, it works well and has all the features I need. But I may switch to summit, which seems to load content noticeably faster.

Most geeks were running 2000. Windows was easy to pirate at the time, you just needed a valid key, no online checks or anything.

Well I tried it before commenting, and I see the same thing as OP… I’m on Firefox stable 145.0.1.

I have a really hard time understanding how he considers any of that a problem.

Very important step you missed: be scouted out by the financial elite early on, then have them groom you every step of the way.

Sharing is much quicker than copy/pasting manually, especially with direct share targets.

It might not be the end of the world, but Mozilla really should have made the “feature” opt-in, or at least give us a heads up.

It’s only for links shared via WhatsApp for some reason. Not sure how they know you’re sharing to WhatsApp… (Edit: firefox implements a custom share widget instead of the one provided by the OS, so they get a callback when the user selects the target)

OP is wrong about the “unique” part tho, I get the same URL as them.

I bought Dredge and finished it, it was really nice. But yeah I had to look for it after reading some nice reviews, the play store is a dumpster fire when it comes to discovery.

I want to pay up to 10€ for a complete game. I don’t want these “free” games where half the screen is littered with timers, microtransactions and a billion different currencies. I tried Underdark as I’ve seen it recommended multiple times, the gameplay is OK I guess but seriously, look at this shit:

Each red dot opens a popup where you collect a miserable amount of currency. There are usually tabs and scrolling lists in the pop-up, you need to spend 5 minutes just to collect them all while avoiding the ad-supported ones because there’s no way to come back to the game once the ad is opened.

$31 for a weekly box?? Who the fuck pays for those??

Even if the app is relatively simple and feature-complete, you need to go back to it at least once a year to make sure it complies with the latest guidelines/restrictions, replace deprecated APIs, and check dependencies for security issues.

Simple enough for a calculator, but if the app needs to do stuff in the background, communicate with web services, play multimedia content, or use the camera, it can become very time consuming.

It may make sense on Macs where users accept making a $10 or $20 one-time payment, but very few mobile users accept paying for apps at all, let alone $5 or $10. In that case, you need a lot of buyers or you’ll end up maintaining it out of pocket.

Yeah, you can’t expect devs to actively work on an app indefinitely just because you gave them a few bucks that one time. It makes no sense financially if the app isn’t exceptionally successful.

Their source of “news” is tiktok. Newsom has a better meme game, that’s all there is to it.

This implies some respect might be due. OP’s version leaves no room for doubt.

100dB high-pitched guitars, relentless double bass and shrieking vocals at a black metal show: total bliss.

My kids when they yell out of excitement: unbearable.

With good ear protection though, or the pain will remain.

Still better than the morons who took their baby to a Taylor Swift concert…

Proton is WINE, it’s a fork maintained by Valve and Codeweaver with DXVK (Direct X -> Vulkan) on top. If you use Steam for gaming it will set up proton automatically for you.

And yes macOS is a step up from Windows, but it’s still a walled garden. Want to develop an iOS app? You must buy a Mac, you must buy a developer license, you must use the worst IDE ever created, and you must distribute it through the app store (except in Europe in theory, but they worked hard to make the experience so miserable that almost no one bothers).

From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster single player FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.

But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?

Forbidding women from participating in a “fun” event doesn’t seem very benevolent to me.

It’s literally impossible to use the internet (or even computers?) without patronizing American companies, at least indirectly.

I’d argue that if the app is not monetized, you deserve whatever the dev feels like giving you, for free.
