If you want to sync your notes between devices, Obsidian Sync is $48 a year. But since it’s all just markdown files anyway, you could just use dropbox to sync them anyway.

App if I use it often, website for everything else. The UI is usually better in the app. Many mobile websites are a pain to use. Plus I have a system-wide ad blocker

They’re claiming that they’ll still support it, and this is an “alternative” to Arc browser. But I think I’m just gonna assume that they’re not going to add new features to it anymore. Besides, I just don’t have faith in them anymore after this pivot from out of nowhere that nobody wanted.

I mean, come on, it has to be Minecraft. One of the most influential games of all time. There really is nothing like it

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

Oh yeah, AskReddit went to shit a while ago. It used to be my favourite subreddit, but it changed about 5 years ago I think.

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.

Here’s an underrated game recommendation: Patrick’s Parabox. Probably the most well designed puzzle game I’ve ever played.

Pseudoregalia mentioned!

Also lol at “worse graphics” for Rainworld. An amazing looking game. Though it probably doesn’t actually mean worse graphics, just less realistic graphics

Balatro, game of the year for me so far

The app also doesn’t let you add your own music, though… Very annoying, cause some songs aren’t on streaming services

I agree I always get cramps whenever I play mario kart in handheld. That’s why I buy as many of my games as I can on the Steam Deck instead.

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that’s just for if you don’t want to give out your phone number.

Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don’t think I’d be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She’d probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

The email vendor doesn’t really matter though unless you are sending or receiving emails. Phone numbers require you to pay a carrier every month. And while most people have phone numbers, some don’t, especially children.

My mum used iMessage to communicate with my sister before she got a phone number. If she switched to Android, I guess there’s Google Chat, but you know how Google is with their chat apps.

Ideally you’d be able to choose between phone number OR email. Like iMessage.

Yeah. It’s not even the fact that they don’t implement Nearby Share themselves that’s bad, it’s that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can’t even implement Nearby Share themselves

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I don’t think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it’s a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn’t really matter. But don’t say there are NO upsides.

How do you set it up without a server. I can’t get past this screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that’s pretty vital…
