I think he needs a break from all this before even thinking about building a new app. Having your work basically get tarnished in front of you, then being dragged through the mud by an arrogant brat in power who was obviously lying to and about you, having to deal with the refund process, that's gonna take a toll on anyone's mental health.

I do hope he can make an Apollo for the federated alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin, but like I said, he needs to sort the closure of Apollo out before even thinking on any new apps.

When I got my iPad I initially used the official Reddit app, having used it on Android, but then I went and got Apollo since it was advertised everywhere on the App Store. Apple seemed to really like it in particular.

And yeah, they were right. The user experience is so much better on Apollo than it is on the official app. Personal favourite feature was the ability to share an image of the post/comments you want, it made screenshotting comments a lot easier on the iPad.

Oddly enough, I saw some bootlicking "cope-and-seethe" type (apparent) right-wingers trying to muddy the waters on the eulogy post. If that is the future of Reddit then I'm so glad I'm gone from there and glad Apollo won't be a part of that.

Not unfortunately! I have it directly from UbiSoft and I haven't got that properly set up yet.

I'd say get WD2 over Legion. It's the best one out of the three.

While Legion has some interesting mechanics, it kinda feels half-baked. Didn't grip me as well as WD2 did. Unless you want a snarky British digital assistant talking to you (and I mean that endearingly), then absolutely get Legion.

Same. I'm playing Watch Dogs Legion right now, gonna finish the main story before I choose another game.

Hi-Fi Rush, BallisticNG, Klonoa, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, PowerWash Sim, Symphony, Invector: Rhythm Galaxy. Maybe Marble It Up too.

The rest are games that work better on PC (e.g. supports steering wheels, requires a beefy PC).

Does Hyper-V have proper drivers in the kernel now?

Man I've got a lot. Pokémon's got some good character designs, but my top two have to be Victini and Gengar.

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago

Same, and I haven't even watched it. Like the character design though, especially for Lampy.

uBlock Origin or the built-in adblocker, depending on the browser I use. On iOS I use AdGuard.

I treat adblockers the same as an antivirus at this point, there have been multiple times that I've seen ads for scams and malware, so I save myself the headache and use an adblocker. I believe it was Linus from Linus Tech Tips who said adblocking YouTube ads is piracy, if so then call me a filthy pirate.

Steam has that on lock right now. No, it's not perfect, but for most games it's pretty much seamless.

There are some cases where Windows is better - mod management tools are better on Windows, for instance. Anything you have outside of Steam might need another app like Lutris (or Heroic, which is great for GOG btw). And that's not mentioning malware under the guise of "anti-cheat".

I think it's so people don't see languages irrelevant to them?

I do agree a "default" language choice is needed though.
