Lemmy users are so fucking annoying. All of the shitty people from Reddit moved here.




The CEO of the company behind Ark has to be smoking crack. Nothing they do makes sense.

Don’t forget they paid who knows how much to get Vin Diesel in Ark 2. Like that’s exactly what we all wanted. Very good use of money.



Ya, I think Microsoft knows Minecraft is too big to fail. If adding the chat monitoring/reporting, even on PRIVATELY HOSTED SERVERS didn’t cause them to fail, nothing they do will. Their player base heavily consists of children, which don’t really care.

The best hope we have is for a new game to come out and genuinely give Minecraft a run for it’s money. The only potential we have right now is Hytale.


and that’s why I’ve said 3 times now that they over promise and under deliver everything. I don’t think most people would’ve voted for the Sniffer if they told us it would have a whopping total of two plants…


People have been asking for the world to feel more full for over a decade. We don’t care that Mo Creatures are “useless”, they add charm and a danger to the world.

Right now there’s nothing in the water that hurts you, unless you find yourself near a drown area. Meanwhile mo Creatures added sharks that actually added a reason to watch out, and a reason for the water to be dangerous. In real life the ocean is extremely dangerous, yet in Minecraft it’s literally the safest place.

I’m not asking them to add 500 plants, but adding 2 is a slap in the face. An intern could whip up at least 10 new plants in an hour.

Why add something and promise how it’s so cool because it’s going to find ancient flowers, just to add TWO. Literally useless. Literally a waste of time going through all it to get two fucking flowers. You’re better off just going to the meadow and grabbing flowers to decorate with.

They over promise and under deliver EVERYTHING.



It’s because Mojang gives extremely vague descriptions and then forces you to vote based on that.

Like this year it’s

A penguin - makes your boat faster. Okay. How much faster? 2%? 200%?

An armadillo - wolf armour. Okay. How much protection does it add? Will your wolf gain the ability to take one more hit? Or will it double the HP?

A crab - extends reach. Okay. How many blocks? A singular block? Is it only for placing, or also breaking?

Mojang: great questions! We will announce it all after you vote! Good luck, idiots!


I’ve started playing Vintage Story and you really realize how empty Minecraft is.

Minecraft is still extremely polished, even with the bugs, and for some reason literally no other game can touch how smooth Minecraft feels to play, but it’s just so empty.

It’s wild they never added mobs like the Mo Creatures mod did like a decade ago.

They then have mob votes, but then take months and months to implement 1 single mob, and then half ass it anyway. Every single mob they’ve added via mob vote feels extremely half baked. Like the sniffer having TWO plants? TWO???

And then when you beat Minecraft the credits are over an hour long. How can you have so many developers but somehow develop slower than when it was just Notch himself?


Vehicles still control like garbage, bruv.


I was asked why I can’t switch to Linux, so I replied listing the software I require Windows for, and then was called a fanboy and downvoted heavily…


Too bad the game is just boring. Vehicles control like garbage and all of the main bugs aren’t fixed, like police just randomly spawning near you.


Ya, because it’s full of children. The games you are talking about are games like Minecraft, where their parents won’t buy them a computer or console, but they will run it at 20fps on their random tablet.


Bro what? My screen is spotless. I even take it biking and kayaking where it gets dirty on the screen.

You must be really bad with your phone.


Can’t even use Wi-Fi controls on macrodroid because it requires a companion app that they haven’t updated to work on 64bit Android versions 💀


Except an iPhone doesn’t allow me to do any of the stuff Android does…


I bought a GamSir X2 Pro and decided to try emulators on my Pixel 7 Pro. Everyone says it’s shit because it’s not Snapdragon, yet I’ve successfully emulated up to the Wii without any issues?

I never tried the switch emulator.




Okay, tell me how that data works when you lose your phone or if it gets stolen.

I’ll just pull up my server with parity drives and download it again.


I had my screen repaired under warranty by them. They factory reset to keep your data safe.

They actually make you do it, before they even touch it. They allow you to do it in store, and will guide you on how to back things up, and use their WiFi to do it.

Definitely can be annoying, but Lemmy is all about privacy, and there’s no way for a company to steal your data with their fancy diagnostic tools if the phone is factory reset.


It is the last one. It’s quite literally just an update to CS:GO.

They just updated the engine a bit, but it’s the exact same game.


Why would you need expandable storage? Everything should be backed up via the cloud. Either a paid cloud, or your own (or both).

People walking around with a ton of data on their phone is crazy. It can be dropped, broken, stolen, etc at any time.

If my phone broke or was stolen I’d lose nothing. Everything is backed up immediately to my unraid server.


$29 CAD to remove ads in Sync, while Boost is $4.39 CAD.

I’d rather pay $4.39 and donate when I can. Overall Boost will end up getting more money from me in the end. It’s hard to justify nearly $30 on a platform that may not survive, but easier to justify less than $5 with frequent donations.


Wait, your company will drop you when security updates end, but they are okay with you installing a custom ROM? Seems weird.


Google Play has nothing to do with it. The developer didn’t submit it to Google Play, as it’s not a final stable release build.

You’re running a pre-release.

Clearly I’m missing something, because it’s not been updated since 2021. Nearly 3 years ago.

Unless you’re talking about the not actually released, has to be manually installed, labeled “pre-release” version from GitHub? Which hardly counts.

Mine was the HTC Dream. Had some issues with the radio, so it would just lose signal (without telling you) for hours.

I didn’t know anything about Android, but I heard you could flash a new radio. I followed some random guide, bricked the phone, and gave up on Android until the Nexus 4.


You’re saying I am stupid and wrong, when you’re literally wrong. Downloading an app on ANDROID that gives you a feature, is quite literally the definition of a FEATURE of ANDROID.

You must be confusing the word native with feature, which just makes you look “stupid and wrong”, to quote you.


Well by “parts of your phone”, I mean calling/texting, and seeing notifications. The things I can’t really do without my phone. Most other things I can do via a web browser.

If you have certain Microsoft Duo, Samsung, and HONOR phones, you can access apps, but then again that’s a moot point since this is about using your phone as a webcam in Android 14, which is currently only a Pixel thing.

I haven’t tried Phone Link since it launched, so I am unsure how good it is, but I am going to be optimistic lol.


Computer manufacturers don’t care, though lol


Not the point. Crypto injection links shouldn’t be sneakily added into a “privacy” oriented browser.

However, you never provided any proof that DDG censors and sells user data. You’ve made big claims, but didn’t back them.


Crazy that iOS doesn’t have the ability to play YouTube videos!

Because according to you, if you have to download an app to gain functionality, it doesn’t exist.

Maybe one day iPhones can watch YouTube.


Next year a vast amount of laptops will now sell without a webcam. Laptop manufacturers are creaming their pants at the thought of saving themselves money and profiting more.

I’m so glad this feature is coming. My only concern is that I use my phone while I’m using my webcam.

I suppose that’s why things like Phone Link on Windows is a thing. You can continue to use parts of your phone while it’s being used as a webcam.



or do they look at spec sheets and go, too slow in their mind, like some kind of reverse placebo

Yes. People hate on the Tensor chip in the Pixel 6/7 because it’s “slow”, despite day to day performance being literally no different than any other phone.


Ya because they were sold to a different company.


Or, you can buy products. If you don’t like what they do, just don’t buy them.

I am not even defending Denuvo. I will not be buying this game. Pirating it also supports them, because if you talk about the game, show your friends, stream it, upload screenshots/videos, etc, you’re potentially getting others, who refuse to pirate, to buy the game.

If you don’t like what the company is doing, don’t play it.
