  • Digital Foundry is backing up the claims that Nintendo seems to be discouraging switch 2 development from third parties

  • Unemployee in a local second-hand shop

    You should have asked an employee instead.

  • Soft degoogle on Android with Launchers

    Jump

  • I meant, using VpnService in Android you can sit on 0.0.0.0/0 and capture all traffic from all apps. Rethink can then block access on any level (all app access, any IP for any or all apps). Moreover, if you set VpnService and something goes wrong (Rethink stops working or anything), your phone will simply have no access instead of allowing unfiltered access.

  • It's different reasons with each one I tried.

  • Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.

  • Gnome Easytag worked perfectly circa 2005.

  • Soft degoogle on Android with Launchers

    Jump

  • My additional soft degoogle trick includes installing F-droid, from the store installing Rethink VPN and making it the only ethernet interface for all phone traffic. That way you can block whole apps from accessing the network or certain IPs / domains for any app. I have done this because I can't fucking stand apps like keyboard (gboard) or camera which I don't need to fetch anything connecting to the internet.

  • Blizzard Co-Founder’s Game Startup Struggles Amid Industry Glut

    Jump

  • Of the two games mentioned, one has kernel-level anticheat, the other is "you guys don't have phones?" The entire industry can go fuck itself.

  • Bloodlines 2 developers try to justify the game's DLC clans, but it's not very convincing: 'We have been expanding it from where we originally planned to land'

    Jump

  • It's alright, I have a confession too, I never meant to buy anything but the complete version patched for two years and 75% off

  • Pixel 10 gets new Journal app, Recorder music creator, Gboard Smart Edit, more

    Jump

  • offers Gemini Nano-powered suggestions on what to write about, like Past topics, Memories (from photos or locations), and Goals, like Daily reflections or Mindfulness. 

    It's always this insipid bullshit, only the creepiness increases

  • U.S. will build sterile fly factory in Texas to stop screwworm from devastating livestock industry

    Jump

  • Exactly, it was a massive loss of profit for the private sector

  • Why It’s So Frickin’ Hard to Stop Driving

    Jump

  • 15min by car, 45min by bike,

    You still save time, getting 45 minutes of nice aerobic exercise instead of stressing and burning fuel. You have to exercise a bit some time, why not while commuting?

  • Google's next big Android release is coming with these AI tools and UWB features (Android 16 QPR2)

    Jump

  • For example, a restaurant app could expose an ‘order food’ function, allowing users to place an order with a voice command without even opening the app.

    No one seems to have any idea what to use this shit for, it's always some ancillary bullshit that's easier done with a few clicks.

  • Fairgame$ Has Been Canceled, Too, According to Michael Pachter, Who Says Sony Has ‘Lost Its Way’

    Jump

  • The best possible outcome, I'm very happy to see Sony tripping over their shoelaces. Maybe games need to cost more? Surely 90$ always-online console exclusives with day one DLCs and season passes, with gacha rewards and cosmetics that can be rejiggered into stat-boosting are the answer if they can also be made tepidely inoffensive with a story cobbled exclusively from tvtropes archetypes.

  • Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says

    Jump

  • By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it'll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?

  • alright, i think im liking this...

    Jump

  • This ia worthless, even if it was an official promise I'd never trust EA. Also, I fully expect a kernel-level anticheat. We'll see after it's out for a few years, I'm not dumb enough to buy a game that's not 75% off.

  • Devils Panties 08/14/2025

    Jump

  • When we reduced all debate and nuance to soundbytes about punching nazis (we are mostly mesomorphic) and thought-terminating cliches you can chant, i.e. when reading and ideas fell out of fashion.

  • Apparently reddit now gives double karma for non-political posts

    Jump

  • If your friends are attempting to set rocks on fire and you comment "pale stine" in hreddit

  • Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10

    Jump

  • It's a) well enshittified to be cumbersome to use without apple's shitty cloud, b) quality control is really bad last few releases and c) just a different class of a same phylum of fucking corporate roaches

  • Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10

    Jump

  • Even if he does win, it's still Windows, still under their control. It'd be maliciously and quite supraliminaly enshittified until it's unusable. Just slap on a CachyOS or anything else open source
