Recently set up my Win 11 gaming pc and despite being tech savvy, I couldn’t get around the requirement without googling. I needed to run a fucking command in order for the Windows installer to let me create an offline account. That’s just so scammy. Imagine paying money for Windows.

Force iOS / iPadOS devs to make their apps available on macOS. It’s pretty cool that you can run iPadOS apps natively on macOS but most devs simply don’t allow it.

Me too! I even develop some PWAs. It’s great for specialized stuff that doesn’t need to be on the AppStore.

[–] Pechente@feddit.de 29 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Yeah exactly. Remember when they wanted to kill PWAs in Europe blaming the DMA? They had to revert course eventually due to backlash.

I don’t think I can name any. Feels like stuff just doesn’t get buried here the way it does on Reddit

I only watched the announcement trailer and I remember thinking how incredibly bad it looked. Their artstyle was simply… off somehow

[–] Pechente@feddit.de 15 points 5 months ago

Yeah same. I used to recommend them whole heartedly but now Im afraid they will go downhill

nearly 22 years after the original game's debut.

Damn, I still remember playing the demo when it came out.

[–] Pechente@feddit.de 20 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Yeah that’s horrible. I have a strict policy of turning off any notification that is not a direct message from a person to me or a reminder I set myself. If crap gets bundled like this, I turn it off altogether.

When I used Tinder, I just checked the app every now and then and I remember people unmatching me again because I didn’t reply quickly enough. Online dating is so fucking toxic.

You need to change the default sort in settings.

To be fair I think DDG has improved marginally over the years while Google is simply shit now. I feel like spam sites are quite prevalent on Google but less so on DDG.

after the cat has had enough time to spread it's odour about the house.

So just wait until she put a turd on every surface, then her mission is accomplished and she will stop.

My grocery store wants to know my BMI

If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?

Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”

Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?

$400k worth of Playdate game consoles have gone missing in Vegas

 

I’ve quite enjoyed the first version of this game on itch.io. Let’s see what this full release brings to the table.

 

Downloading it right now.

 

I really enjoy the art style of this game. Can’t wait to try it out myself.

 

To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?

Who does this appeal to?

 

Some context: .exe is the executable format for Windows. It's fine that Valve is using some translation layer instead of doing a port of Counter Strike 2. This error does however suggest that they don't even test their games before releasing them on macOS.
