Something tells me you haven’t drank your daily verification can of mtn dew

Purplexingg ,

Just waiting for the new horizon now.

Fucking in love with this game. Bought it on launch and couldn’t put it down until I completed it. Hope they put out similar stuff in the future.

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

Purplexingg ,

I can’t do it, I don’t want to sound like I’m from the South.

Purplexingg ,

Is there somewhere to read what those changes are? Their home page just says some general stuff. I play a lot of alttp randomizer but oot always spooked me because it’s such a bigger game.

I will never forgive Sir Sanford Fleming for inventing time zones and putting the east coast at UTC -5:00 and making me stay up past midnight to watch sports

Pretty similar to you on mobile, gboard. I used auto correct too though. Desktop I’m not really much faster than this, maybe like 85 on a good day.

no u

Looks pretty fun. I’ve always loved poker spin offs. My favorite mobile game ever was Sword & Poker on iOS. I’d give anything to be able to replay that game…

Purplexingg ,

I only listen to music with my phone or on my desktop. On my phone I have a pirated Spotify premium app, and on desktop I just stream from YouTube with adblock. Don’t have any recommendations if you’re looking to download though.

Purplexingg ,

Negative. Just download the launcher, then you can pick the version of Spotify you want to use. Then it’ll download the apk. Basically like how YouTube vanced used to work. It’s been pretty perfect for my use case.

Purplexingg ,

Same. I bought two at a local Asian grocer near me without knowing what it was, just to try. After forcing myself to finish the first couldn’t bring myself to start the second.

Purplexingg ,

That is an option, but it’s not like it’s an easy one. You have to have a bachelor’s already before applying, meaning you’re probably in debt, and then go through all the bs it takes to not only join the military but then meet the vast amount of qualifications to get rated. Then endure years of schooling at a fast pace, get to your first assignment, continue to perform well for 10 years, all while being under the pressure of being in the military and knowing you could get deployed to a combat area. You can also join an academy, but you need to apply before 21 or something, and that along with the requirements needed to get into the academy are a lot too.

Purplexingg ,

Hope it’s good, and then good enough to further revisit the pillars franchise. And then for Xbox to see bg3’s success and create another crpg!

Purplexingg ,

Based. I bet everyone at Peterson is glad as hell they don’t have to move to the sweltering south

Some points you can’t really refute are cost and repairability. Yes, they’re expensive and yes, they’re quite difficult to repair, there’s no getting around that. One thing you don’t have to worry about is the screen though. I’m not sure what people have told you about it being “better,” because at this point most phone screens are pretty incredible; great brightness, contrast, oled, 120hz. Where foldables do shine is content consumption. I use my phone A LOT. And trust me when I say that the experience is pretty unparalleled. Multitasking, large video streams, gaming, browsing Reddit and now Lemmy were all absolutely incredible experiences and I can never go back to a slab phone. I bought both the 14 pro max and the pixel 7 pro to try to come back but it’s just not the same at all.

And the crease thing 100% disappears after 1 hour of using it. A lot of people hear about the crease, decide they don’t like it, try to have a hands on, see the crease and focus solely on it the whole time saying to themselves, I hate the crease, why would anyone buy this. It’s analogous to when apple did the notch; tech people were like what the fuck is apple doing, why are they making phones so ugly, I use that part of the screen, Samsung made mocking ads about it. And now every phone on the market has some variant of it because people learned it’s really not a big deal. Your fingers never go in the middle of the screen to feel it and as long as you have your phone on like 10% brightness it will wash out the crease from being apparent if you look at it dead on.

Trust, next time you’re at best buy check out Google or Samsung’s offerings. The phones are incredible.

Purplexingg ,

I fucking love foldables and think everyone should have one. I truly believe they are the next step in phone technology and cannot wait for when they solve the crease “problem” so people can stop complaining about it. Also getting the price to $999 is pretty key too. Or apple jumping on board.

Purplexingg ,

Yeah I’m confused by this too. Everyone I’ve talked to has just expressed concern in regards to who’s running the military, the direction its internal politics are going, sexual assault issues. I’ve never met anyone who thinks it couldn’t execute its mission properly. As a veteran, trust me people, there are some white-hot shit people at the tip of the spear and running all the way down it too. There’s shit bags for sure but I’m pretty confident in it meeting most expectations.

Samsung makes the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 official (arstechnica.com)

I haven’t shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I’m eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I’d love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to...

Purplexingg ,

I think that’s in mostly budget phones because it’s a way for Samsung to subsidize the price. I’ve had multiple flagship Samsung phones and the fold 3/4 and have never seen that installed or had Facebook just randomly pop up. Now if you just want to take a stand against Facebook in general then yeah I feel you

Purplexingg ,

Well now you do

Purplexingg ,

If you say so

Purplexingg ,

I mean that makes sense. Samsung doesn’t bill it’s front screen as a full phone, it’s supposed to be just a window for quick info at a glance. It’s probably more just Google hasn’t made its app compatible with the flip’s cover screen. In any case at this point the screen on the flip 5 is actually a decent size so it should be able to run any app like the razor.

Google Begins discontinuing Updates for Android KitKat – Phandroid (phandroid.com)

While we live in a time where smartphones can get prolonged support and usability by way of software updates, it stands to reason that nearly all software and hardware platforms have a finite lifespan. With that in mind, Google recently announced that it will be discontinuing updates for Android version 4.4, otherwise known as...

Back when Google was fun… I miss gingerbread and ice cream sandwich

Please post again when it’s a little more fully developed… Looks really nice!

I like their fries and animal style is disgusting

Reddit is removing your chat history from before 2023 (www.theverge.com)

Reddit is removing your chat history from before 2023::As part of a migration to a new architecture, Reddit chose not to migrate chat histories before 2023. Though it offers a way for users to request their old data, including chat histories, some users say they’re still missing messages.

Purplexingg ,

Towards the end there anytime someone would pm me about something like 80% of the time it’d be a chat. I exclusively browsed on Reddit sync so when I randomly got on reddit desktop and saw I had like 10 chats from months ago it surprised me. Just goes to show how the community has shifted from when I first started 13 years ago and now imo.

Purplexingg ,

Don’t worry, once discord succeeds in killing every forum ever, you won’t be able to find anything like this again!

Purplexingg ,

I wonder what the future is gonna hold for famous people. There’s gonna come a time when a rando dev can just press a button and a beautiful, funny, and any other-positive-quality-you-could-want person will be generated. This person will never commit a sex crime, will never say a racist remark, never do anything controversial. I imagine once that happens that’s just kinda it for famous people who represent a brand.

Purplexingg ,

I can’t really remember if that was an issue for my S4. I’m sure it happened like once or twice but I don’t really drop my phone and I’m sure the majority of people nowadays have a case that will pretty much prohibit the battery cover from opening. What I DO remember is keeping a spare battery in my wallet and anytime my phone was low (I’m terminally addicted and 3 hours of screen on time was the best I got back then) just popping that bad boy in. Was a great feature and took a lot of stress off of me in the days when battery life was terrible. I hope they can revive a feature like that in a modern premium phone.

Purplexingg ,

The main channel is mostly still kind of an internet history. Concordia was an obvious outlier though. But yeah all of his other stuff is basically just him creating whatever he wants with his friends. Humor for me is kinda hit or miss.

Purplexingg ,

Same, although my attempts at the other ones were pretty brief. I like liftoff a lot because it has the swipe anywhere to go back gesture, which I love.

Purplexingg ,

Looks super fucking nice… Now if only I had a Spotify account lol.

EDIT: Same fucking problem the official app has… Can’t put it into landscape mode on the now playing screen. That’s how I have my phone mounted to my dash and it will only go vertical… So fucking dumb.

Purplexingg ,

Fucking Tom

Purplexingg ,

It really blows my mind to hear opinions like this because my viewpoint is so overwhelmingly the opposite. To me it seems like the clear next step; we have phones in our pockets and tablets in our homes. What if we could combine them to get the best of both worlds? The biggest issues I’ve heard are durability and price; both things that plagued early smart phones. You dropped your iphone from 2 inches or let it touch your keys for two seconds and the screen is ruined. The iphone 1 was $500, post subsidized, something unheard of back then.

Both of those are solved now and I’m sure in time foldables will do it as well. It might just end up taking apple hopping on board to really bring it to the mainstream like how they’re going to do with their VR set.

Can I ask why you think it’s such a gimmick?

Do you feel that there's a lack of discussion on Lemmy on stuff besides the current Reddit and Twitter controversies?

I’ve been on Beehaw and Lemmy.world for the past two weeks now and while people seem to be posting content that isn’t about Reddit or Twitter or how great federated platforms are, such content does not receive as many comments/discussion as topics about the Reddit API controversy, or the current Twitter controversy, etc....

Purplexingg ,

The reason why there’s a large influx of users is because the reddit thing finally kicked over so it makes sense that a large amount of comments about it. But I don’t mind those as much as these meta posts complaining about people talking about reddit because it just puts a magnifying glass on everything that is worse here than on Reddit. Of course there’s less interaction, the userbase on Reddit dwarfs Lemmy. Reddit was like this 15 years ago or however long it was. Either you understand why people have migrated here and accept that there’s less of a community or here you stick with reddit. Stop complaining it’s not a 1:1 copy.
