It’s very easy to make a mechanical clone of the game if someone wanted to play it.

This is purely about greedy crypto bros trying to grift off of Flappy Bird and using legal loopholes to steal the trademark

I think this is the patent IBM is suing over

Seems to be about pre-loading ads to a user’s device. As with most software patents, it sounds like the vaguest possible wording that covers about a million things

Man, what a mess. This site was doomed to fail

Wait, a solo dev with no experience other than RPG Maker games is making a highly detailed first-person 3D open world tactical strategy RPG with character customization, romance options and branching narratives? Sounds a little too ambitious to be true

I still crave shooters but don’t seem to have the time for online multiplayer anymore. I want to try stuff like Ultrakill and Selaco nowadays

Does anyone really want another generic hero shooter though? It’s not like we’re at a loss for options

C’mon dude, cartoon animals doesn’t cover the amount of suspiciously similar Palworld color schemes and proportions we’ve seen compared to Pokemon like Cobalion/Lilligant/etc

Better crossposting support. Web view shows you communities that something has been crossposted to and has an easy crosspost button. Would like to see the same in Sync

I can only assume that the issue is that they’re trying to reduce the number of calls to the original instance. If you’re just scrolling by, you only see the post that’s cached on your own server, and it doesn’t communicate with the original instance until you open the post. Making it so that every time some scrolls by a post it contacts the original instance sounds like it massively increases the amount of traffic to the original instance which goes against the idea of software that supports smaller, self or community hosted servers.

Well shit, time to find an alternative

Well feeling less bad about switching to a OnePlus now

I’m convinced that it’s purposeful sabotage on Apple’s part because if there’s one Android user in a group chat iMessage fucks up images/videos/effects for all recipients. So being the lone Android holdout gets you pressured to switch

It’s not even “apps only” since they still show sponsored shows at the top. Probably only a matter of time before more ads worm their way in.

It literally isn’t random. They’re good enough that they were able to geofence Apple to hide the fact they were tracking users

Glad it’s not just me that feels this way. There are certain words that it just seems to refuse to auto-complete no matter how many times I try or how slow I go. Feels like it’s biased towards commonly used words and cares less about what you’re actually typing

This has been happening to me for a while prior to the latest update. At least a month, as I noticed it when posting about the Lost Caverns of Ixalan spoilers. I thought it was just a feature that Sync hadn’t implemented yet. I can edit comments just fine but posts, both on my instance and on other instances, are unable to be edited. I’ve logged into the web front end and confirmed I can edit posts that way, so it’s not due to specific instance rules.

There’s not really much evidence that targeted ads work any better than random ads. Plus they already have a point of data to serve ads: what video the user is watching.
