I knew Lemmy was just the same 12 people having conversations with themselves…

Back in those Gingerbread days, Amazon were basically doing the Epic Games thing where every other week they’d release a paid app or game for free. It was worth tolerating the crappy app store just for that!

Gotta get you to scroll past as many ads as possible.

The Android/Pixel Lemmy communities are insanely sour and pessimistic, I’ve noticed. Every single Android post will have a comment bemoaning the subject, and another comment saying that Google is evil. It’s tedious and so much worse than Reddit.

The yanks are still too comfortable to do anything about the blatant fascism rising in their country. Rich right wingers have pulled off the amazing feat of keeping people happy with bread and circuses and convincing them to look at the evil foreigners whilst they’re robbed blind. It’s happening in other democracies as well.

I fear the US is just the beginning. The EU is growing more right wing and the UK is looking at giving Nigel Farage total power in 3 years time. Forecast does not look too good.

Didn’t we agree over 20 years ago on “toaster”?

Both of these apps were sold to dodgy third parties who make their revenue through ads.

Viewed posts still don’t hide when you refresh :(

Easily done.

You’re presumably talking about the Pixel Launcher widget, which isn’t removable (you can disable it but you don’t get the space back).

This article is about the widget that non-Pixel phones can install, which will behave more like a standard widget as it can work on any launcher or device.

It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.

Great news.

However, I’ve become partial to having separate accounts across various instances. Sync enforces having separate settings for each account. I can see this becoming pretty annoying. Does anyone else feel this way?

He literally defended himself bowing to government censorship a few months ago. Keep up.

Are you allergic to punctuation?

Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don’t pay for Google storage but I’ve got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

I’ll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can’t get another one, then I’ll cry.

The two-stage shutter button from Sony cameras and phones is something I miss dearly.

Anyone else noticed that Connect for Lemmy has just changed its design? Feels like it’s taken a lot of “inspiration” from Sync…

I disagree. Have you ever been to a real 70mm IMAX screening? I don’t mean your typical “IMAX”. There’s only a handful in the whole world.

The quality is gorgeous, and the screens are huge. You also get significantly more of the frame than you will in traditional cinema and on bluray releases.

Don’t call it unnecessary until you’ve actually seen it. Digital IMAX isn’t close yet.

Your links don’t work.

I wouldn’t have any expectations of an iOS release, mate.
