Thanks! Seems like the project might be abandoned along with Slide. I’ve moved them to their own group.

You do realize Reddit broke it, right? Unless you have millions of dollars to give him per year, Reddit gave him the boot. You’re welcome to contact him privately and fund the project.

Added. Thanks!

I’m assuming the developer has not made it available in your country yet. Or perhaps your country doesn’t have the pre-register feature?

Works for me in Canada.

Too scary lol. I got it with my index and never played. Really wish valve included a less scary switch in the settings, because it’s one of the best made VR games.

Just can’t do it. Not built for it.

Added! Thanks!

Firefox does this by default. So that.

and kbin seems to federate REAAAALLLY slowly in my experience. A lemmy post will have 100+ comments on any lemmy instance, but then you view it in kbin and there’s like 5 comments. My profile when viewed in kbin is days/weeks behind.

It feels so empty and like you’re in the past lol.

I prefer Connect!

Okay. I don’t see the need to be a negative Nancy and be upset at everyone all because the company has the potential to screw you over. Microsoft nor Valve are being bad guys right now. They are doing wonders for PC gaming, and as a gamer, I’m really excited.

I’ll change my thoughts and opinions as needed, but for now, I’ll enjoy the small victories in life.

Also you do realize that steam allows developers to upload DRM free games to steam, right? Where you can copy the .exe and play the game without ever installing steam? Not sure why you’re upset over steam or think they are a required DRM.

I don’t know if I would trust that, though.

Google’s authorized repair centers have diagnostic tools and software that allows very deep access to the phone. Something that a random maintenance mode wouldn’t hide.

When you take your Pixel in for repair, they force you to factory reset it, because they take privacy serious. They don’t want anyone to have access to your data through their repair tools.

I’d actually be very skeptical about this if I had a Samsung device. Is there proof that this mode cannot be accessed by their repair tools?

I know. I didn’t say they were. That’s why I said we can be skeptical, but there’s no reason to be so upset screaming fuck Microsoft when they are currently being really great when it comes to gaming.

The same could be said about steam, by the way. At any moment Gabe can fuck us over, or can die and we get fucked, but until we see that happen, I feel like we all trust steam.

You can be skeptical over Microsoft, especially because of their past, but their new manager in charge of their gaming division is doing really well. In fact, I’d say investing in Microsoft for gaming right now is a better deal, considering it’s a cheaper monthly fee. My steam account has a bit over 10,000 dollars of games in it that Gabe can take back at any time. That’s 666 months (55.5 years) of an Xbox game pass subscription in Canada. It’s more risky for me to continue buying on steam. I won’t, as I love steam as a platform, but it still is more risky.

I know what you’re saying, and it’s definitely possible this will backfire on us, but currently Microsoft has been really dedicated to PC gaming and have been really good to PC gamers.

All games are released on game pass day 1, which means you can play all of their new games for cheap vs having to pay $100 CAD+ for them. They are also releasing their games on steam, which means you don’t even have to use their platform. They are also integrating other companies into game pass, so you can play EA Games and Ubisoft games if you have a game pass subscription. I played the crap out of battlefield 2042 through my game pass subscription.

They also have the ability to play Xbox only games on PC, which is super awesome. It requires the next tier up, and then you can straight up play Xbox games on your PC. I was playing Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. It launches the game in some kind of cloud gaming emulator thing.

So idk. I don’t really agree with your Fuck Microsoft attitude, because they are currently being really incredible for the PC gaming market. I say we can be skeptical about the future, but I don’t really see much to hate on right now.

Edit: Microsoft also doesn’t require a subscription. Like I said, you can buy their games on steam, or you can buy them from the Microsoft store. A subscription is optional, and it’s nice for people who want to pay $15 CAD per month and play a crap ton of different games instead of paying out right for 1 game.

There are lots of changes under the hood. Even so, Chrome is at like version 1773574 now, because they threw away the concept of version numbers years ago.

So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won’t work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.

Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.

Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.

Anyone else thinking about cancelling? My question is how long until it gets shipped, and by then, will other companies come out with better trackers?

Boost for me.

Connect is awesome, but I am just so used to the UI and way Boost for Reddit works. When Boost for Lemmy is out, I will feel at home.

I also find that Jerboa and Connect are both great apps, but the features are fragmented across them (connect needs jumping between comments with volume keys!). Where Boost is the best of both worlds.

Ya, this is quite annoying. Every other Lemmy app just releases the APK on GitHub.

It’s obvious the Memmy developer is biased towards iOS, which is fine, but it really does feel like Android is an after thought, and in return, the app wont really be best on Android.

Which is okay, because we have a ton of amazing Android apps currently, with a ton more coming.

If Connect and Jerboa had a baby it would be perfect.

I’m waiting for Boost, however. I can’t wait for a familiar UI with all of the features I consider must haves.

Hopefully he does. I want to host my own instance because I hate how every time I join an instance, they decide to block other instances I enjoy. I am sick of hopping around!
