I moved my email to Hey and ProtonMail so am using their apps. Doing that allowed me to push reset on what goes to each address and how I sort/filter/etc. Gmail is now my junkbox like Yahoo was forever ago.

PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.

I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.

They did such a bad job in court… focused entirely on CoD which they already had offers for everyone to get for 10yr minimum. How you gonna win that case?

Came here to say this 👆 It’s really not hard to get started or use, folks just drag their feet on it for some reason.

It’s mostly a problem with SMS. But yeah it would be awesome if they’d meet Android halfway and adopt some of the RCS stuff

Images get compressed and sent super tiny. Replies to specific texts start entirely new message threads. If someone leaves the group the whole convo stops and your in an empty new message history. Reactions come through as text replies and don’t specify which message it was in reference to. Etc…

If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying

That’s partly because of actions taken by various governments. Who knows what tech would look like today if Microsoft from the 90s forced us all into Internet Explorer.

Also, more successful examples would be Google. They have done this very thing several times but then keep messing it up lol

I think of “retro” as pixel-based and early 3D games that were sorta killed during the PS1/Saturn/N64 era.

Once we get into more advanced 3D / Polygonal games (PS2/GameCube/Xbox), it’s a different era; but it’s not due to the visual shift alone, but the design philosophy and craft/code itself. I would consider them “modern” and point to series like Zelda as an example.

Games like WindWaker feel more connected to Breath of the Wild than it does to Link to the Past or even Ocarina of Time. And I think the same goes for series like Mario, Metal Gear, and so on.

Without the restrictions of being on App Stores and going through reviews, devs can move so much faster. I feel like two or three times a day it tells me a new version can be grabbed, and it’s caught up to and bypassed the alpha/beta apps from Testflight which get updated once a week (if lucky).

It’s not perfect, but it’s way better for privacy than Google and looks a million times better than Bing. Sometimes the middle path is the best you can hope for / ask of others.

I was initially shocked but that’s like 4 months away from the initial launch. I’m fine with that.

The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us

It’s so so soooo good (if you like platformer roguelites)

Sucks to lose Spelunky but they earned my money

I would miss the space keys 100% of the time lol

I do but try to remind myself that “wasting my time” is a concept that capitalism has forced on us bc they want us to feel guilty when not productive.

wefwef.app is a PWA (progressive web app). Just save the site to your Home Screen and it’ll act like an app but be run by your default browser
