- Comment on Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5 5 hours ago:
This is an internal estimate that was never meant to be public, and it casts a negative light on a flagship project at the company—the incentive when making this estimate was to be as accurate as possible. We don’t know how Microsoft produced the figure, but it was presumably the result of fairly sophisticated projections.
- Comment on F-Droid says Google’s new sideloading restrictions will kill the project 3 days ago:
Google is currently on the verge of massive court-mandated changes to the Play Store. After losing the antitrust case brought by Epic Games, Google also lost the appeal. As it explores further legal maneuvering, the firm may have to begin opening up its app distribution system by promoting third-party stores on Google Play and mirroring Google Play content in other storefronts. This will reduce Google’s monopoly power in Android apps, which is the court’s intention. However, the company’s new goal of locking down sideloading could maintain its central role in Android software.
F-Droid calls on concerned developers and users to contact their government representatives to demand action. Specifically, the site suggests invoking the European Commission’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) to keep FOSS apps free from Google’s gatekeeping.

Oh I was under no impression that it was Lemmy related. We could only hope for someone that high-profile to give us a shoutout.

What rule? I just go by what I read in the 90s about what the creators thought.

Iirc this will be streamlined or at least less confusing with Lemmy 1.0?

All users should have both undefined and their langaue selected. I have both and see all. But it’s also community dependent. Perhaps this one isn’t set to both?

Generally, yes, but on this part of the fediverse I’m usually only unsure when when it’s something far in the other direction.
No one spews anti-“woke” around here. Not for long at least.

I’m surprised too. It’s a killer feature. Any launcher that implements it would get a lot of us as new users.

Dammit. I knew I should she already switched once they were bought but I couldn’t find anything that matched the features at the time.
I really like being able to set swipe actions on my icons. For example swiping up or down on an icon will open an alternative app, folder, or a specific functionality. It’s allowed me to keep a clean screen while keeping everything I need accessible.

Read a bit further:
Two years later, Kevin Barry left Branch and is no longer involved in Nova’s development. In his announcement, Barry revealed that he had been the sole developer for the past year, spending recent months preparing to open source Nova Launcher and clean up its codebase. However, Branch ultimately asked him to stop both development and his open-sourcing efforts.

I have only watched the original run of season 4 when it first came out so I’m tempted to watch the linear broadcast re-cut but I’m undecided if I should watch season 4 as I originally experienced it first.

Kirkland is the cheaper store brand so advertising that on your body is kind of funny. I guess since it’s membership only its the higher-end cheaper option.
