- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 1 day ago:
The original Stargate movie did that, though I don’t think it’s a majority of the dialogue.
- Comment on LineageOS 23 3 days ago:
The problem is though an OS is only as good as its apps, unless it has some killer feature that can make up for the lack of it. Linux worked because Wine and Proton made the huge back catalogue of windows games work on it, but that’s a different use case from a mobile phone. Bank apps I particular are a bit pain point with how they keep using Google’s features to only work on non modified official android versions. I’m sure you could get browsers and such to work otherwise, and some banks you might be able to use via a browser, but that’s already a big hurdle to get over and sell to people as worth doing for all the other benefits.
- Comment on Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth 1 week ago:
Me? I didn’t even make the original comment. On one hand you dismiss the historical status of pubs as community places by isolating me enjoying it as an individually me thing (I guess I’m single handedly keeping all the pubs in the UK in business; also nice job cutting out me saying I’m seeing a lot of younger people at pubs too to make your argument sound better), then you say you are not doing that exact thing? Make it make sense, without the preachy “ah I’ve read you like a book” attitude.
Also, rude. I think we’re done here, not sure what got your ego all hurt but we were just having a discussion here.
- Comment on Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth 1 week ago:
I do most of my social hangouts at pubs, be it to have a nice indoors place to chat (esp when it gets late) or to play Magic. Same with most of my friends.
Even if I go outside of my friend group, pubs are usually full, of young people too, and there’s a reason their name is a shortened version of “public house”. Sure you could argue younger generations are going to the pub less and less, but to say that historically it has not been the social centre of UK towns is false.
Also for your last bit, if at least some at the group buys something it should be fine, obv don’t go to a pub and take up space without giving them any money. It doesn’t even have to be alcoholic drinks either.

It’s the cornerstone of interacting with your local community in the UK. You don’t even have to drink, it’s a cozy, generally quiet place to socialise.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 1 week ago:
Interesting, I’m not too familiar with how they work, what makes Apple’s more privacy-friendly than Google?
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 1 week ago:
You can achieve most of that via third party apps, which is where the beauty of android comes. Instead of being forced to use Google if you want the best integration or be treated as a second class citizen if you try to use a third party service, most android features can have app defaults to set, so you can use bitwarden or proton if those work better for you (and imo that makes it more versatile, not less). In terms of integrating and syncing notifications with your desktop either KDE Connect, Microsoft’s companion app or Google’s companion app should work, though it’s not going to be automatic or as in depth as Apple’s. I’m not gonna touch the smooth and easy argument as that’s something you get used to over time really with these. I find iOS super clunky to use, you find android super clunky, it’s about which one you got used to first.

How is the notification system better for privacy on iOS? On android you have notification groups to toggle and you can set which notifications show up on the lock screen and how much of them is visible there. The notification system is to me arguably the best designed thing on android and one of the worst on iOS

Never heard of stremio, sounds like it plays the role of a media server, in which case it doesn’t have to be streamio? Plex or Jellyfin could work too
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 1 week ago:
The point of the setup is you only need to do it once, you don’t set up everything every time you want to download something…
- Comment on YSK you can cancel subscriptions by removing them from your credit card/payment processor, or call the bank and ask someone to remove them. 1 week ago:
I don’t really get the logic of how stealing from them is somehow supporting them.
You’re still in the ecosystem even if you’re not paying for it, meaning if you’re trying to pass on files or knowledge, it’s all based within Adobe’s apps and their user experience. You can look into how Adobe encourages piracy on students because that means when they get to make a choice later on what professional apps they’ll use they’ll keep using Adobe, thus if someone else asks “oh how should I get into design?” They’ll hear about Adobe as well.
Besides, every alternative is absolute garbage compared to Photoshop.
Open source sadly yes, I’ve yet to find something as good. Consider looking at the Affinity suite though, I used that for years while freelancing instead of Photoshop and illustrator and i wasn’t missing Adobe. If anything it was an improvement, so much more performant and moving across apps was a lot easier.

Because they’re the decision makers, why would they remove themselves from that position? Lol
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 2 weeks ago:
Go with a self build + unraid. NGL a Ryzen 5500 build is so cheap and much more powerful than these overpriced boxes, and unraid is pretty good. If I didn’t buy a ds415+ a couple of years ago I’d swap over.

“I don’t want you to lose Comick” If it becomes something else, how is it still not losing it?
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 4 weeks ago:
Then Microsoft makes windows free and monetizes the shit out of services in the OS.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 4 weeks ago:
I think I’d prefer if there was a minimum updates guarantee that OS sellers would have to disclose, but even then I’m more in favour of other companies being able to pick up the work by making sure devices have their bootloader unlockable after they don’t get any more updates for X amount of time, rather than add burden to OS makers, because forcing people to support a project for Y amount of years would really harm indie developers releasing Linux distros and the like

How are people meant to have a good view of the political landscape and show intent to vote for a different party when said parties don’t get any coverage? Lol what a joke
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 4 weeks ago:
Well most review sites give it high scores with the negatives being primarily the performance so at least this time there might be a good game in there somewhere underneath all those shader compilation stutters

Presumably that will work like test flight does where you can only install the app through an invite system
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
What are you talking about?! Apple was forced to follow EU regulations and allow side loading, they complied by only making it available in the EU. “This is wrong” and you’re just spouting nonsense. If I want to do business in your country I need to follow your country’s regulations, this includes customer and worker protections.

To what end? Are you putting together a tier list? They should all be equally admonished to the highest order, that’s the point.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 month ago:
Which is just the loophole they’re trying to use now to assert control. This is just technicalities, the end result is that if you want to make apps for others to install they want to be the final say on you being allowed to do that or not.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
Convenient you’ve specifically not quoted the circumstance in which that should apply. This is companies which serve UK customers in the UK, the fact their servers are offshore and the company is offshore doesn’t matter, they’re doing business in the UK by being made available there and thus must be bound to those laws.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
Yeah man they have an obligation(duty) to uphold British law when dealing with British citizens, how’s that hard to grasp.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
Your original comment was about the UK overreaching and policing companies from outside the UK how to do things. You got a reply on how the gdpr does the same thing (please, no one actually implied the legislation itself starts sending out emails, have the basic decency to understand the implication that it’s the EU and UK through GDPR that are pursuing things legally).
It’s not possible for the EU to fine companies in non-EU countries. They could issue a fine but they have no power to enforce or collect the fine.
I don’t know why you seek to make the distinction between “fining” and “issuing a fine”, the point was the UK is not the only one trying to do it. Whether it’s successful or not is not the point. Also they can totally enforce the fine by restricting those businesses from doing business within their territory until they comply. I don’t know how you could get it more wrong.
