Very weird indeed. If you have a pixel, do you have the VPN enabled? I had some issues with connectivity when using their VPN.

I’ve been having some weird issues connecting to Lemmy.World in my browser since yesterday… Wonder if there’s any relation?

Working through another playthrough of Valheim with my wife and a couple friends. Ashlands dropped somewhat recently and we’ve made it a habit to do a fresh server/playthrough when new content drops and we just very very recently got to where we’re ready to go to the southern tip of the world and fight in some Viking purgatory hell action.

I preferred 1 to 2. In 2 the enemies start to get rather spongey with their life and that sucked a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me. From a character choice perspective, I also greatly preferred Lilith as the Siren.

Maybe I can help!

Hey! Would you happen to know the keyboard command to bring up the side panels when in a game in game mode? I know ctrl-1 and ctrl-2 work when outside the game but they don’t appear to work when in a game.

Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.

I love that they’re located in Gary.

I don’t know the answer to that, exactly, but I see shit loads of people with Android phones using air pods.

My kids termed that cinnamon bunning. :D

Beeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.

Yeah, unfortunately been a thing since the gesture navigation was implemented. Somewhat recently I’ve gone back to the three button navigation so I could use Nova but I’m using Pie navigation so I can have the swiping to go back and also gives me some customisability to do some additional actions while swiping.

Well, there existed phones that were kind of what smartphones became. Blackberries and Palms get a lot of the attention as they were what executives used, but there were also PocketPC devices that were usually white label manufactured HTC devices that were branded after carriers or some other company like HP. They generally were much larger screened devices with a few buttons at the bottom. They were resistive touchscreens so using your fingers was pretty meh for responsiveness, and the UI was just not designed in a way that was pleasant to navigate. Picture a shrunk down desktop interface. I’d say the UI was the biggest shakeup that they did in the product category, followed by steadily raising the bar for hardware in a space that often would have cheap plastic components. Don’t get me wrong, I think too much glass and aluminum is actually poorer than something like kevlar especially for dents and dings, but it doesn’t look nearly as sexy.

If I had my little way!

They’re totally, definitely, absolutely not Jessica!

Is that a rhetorical question? I’ve had a few Apple products mostly in the past or issued to me from when, but I prefer android even when it can be disappointing to me sometimes. Was launching into nandroid via Haret when Windows Mobile devices were a thing too. I don’t prefer Apple stuff but whether it be sincere or perhaps theatrics, it seems like you’ve got an unnecessary and over aggressive revulsion towards them.

It’s interesting you mention Apple because while I have every expectation that you’re correct at the moment, the iPod absolutely benefited from piracy. iTunes allowed you to add your own songs to your library to sync with the device, and iTunes could also be argued to have been on a similar model to Steam because you’d pay to ‘own’ the songs and there was no subscription giving you access to songs.

Called half splitting in troubleshooting terms when I was in the Navy.

And microfiche was futuristic as hell! Just hit up the card catalog and find what you’re looking for.

My first wasn’t even an actual android! I had an HTC touch pro running Haret that would reboot the phone into Android. Was so great despite the quirks and bugs since… well Windows Mobile has plenty of that going on anyway.
