Yep we’re staying where we are. It’s the PS5 that’s joining the .world 😁

At first I read that as “just coke, please”. And somehow it made sense to me.

I would love to hear back from other community members on this subject.

Weeeell maybe you could tell other people, like those who have links in their sidebar, so they know to update it… Such as, say, I dunno… 🤔

Maybe someone will want to take over this comm, so you should give people the option.

Whether the idea of PS5 aligns with the philosophy of lemmy.ml, is a question for them.

Did you hear about the whole thing with !android? This is not the same, but you never know.

Ed: Btw looks like my Matrix is buggy today. Yes you can post the announcement in !playstation

(Just make it clear it’s the ps5-specific community that’s moving and not ours.)

Not a fan of giving my phone number to federate to every server.

Session is like Signal but decentralised (like Tor, not like Fedi) and without the phone no requirement. That sounds better to me.

By that logic tho, you can also accidentally open a different app and send an sms, because on Android all the apps need to look and behave basically exactly the same for some reason.

Strawman, one of those big words people use when they can’t make a decent argument.

Would it be that difficult to have two versions of the app then? One without sms for the more security conscious and easily distracted people, and one with sms, that I could install on any grandma’s phone?

Difficulty of implementation was never an argument, only ideological ones, with which Signal fucked over so many people. Literally all of my Signal contacts have gone offline soon after they axed the sms support, and so I have no use for Signal at all.

So, mission accomplished I guess. Secure messaging has won- oh wait, everyone is back on WhatsApp.

If a kid gives up on you, you’re truly fucked.

Hey what’s the stats of qualis betwwen Yuki and Checo this year?

WhoRoger, 10 months ago

I don’t think there’s any difference. I’m a mod on some comms and if an instance admin removes a comment, everything looks the same way as when another mod does. I think admins just have mod privileges everywhere.

Deletion should federate either way too, regardless whether something is removed by the author, mod or admin.

WhoRoger, 10 months ago

Wait, right, I only considered admins of the instance where the community is.

A random admin can only affect their own instance.

Unless the user is also from the same instance as the random admin. In that case the admin can delete the user’s stuff from everywhere.

Ok now I think it makes sense, but I’m also a tad less sure :p

Ed: but technically there’s also an option for an instance to ignore deletion requests or do something else with them, or for federation to not work properly.

On Android TV you can just use NewPipe, SmartTube, SkyTube… With some apps you can use your account and subscriptions directly.

Or YT (re)vanced I guess

WhoRoger, 10 months ago

You can just use any 30-50 €$£ Android stick and stuff it with Android apps. Keep the TV as a monitor.

Until a month ago I was using an old Android 5 TV. It can still do so many things.

I suggest using NewPipe (or NP x SponsorBlock) 0.24.1 as that had a better layout for large screen. Not sure if they fixed it in 0.25.x yet.

Some other YT apps are actually specialised for TV use so you may wanna try more of them too.

WhoRoger, 10 months ago

Yup

WhoRoger, 10 months ago

Neat. And no need for subscriptions either, which is always a plus 😁

Ric just might be stuffed in that car even against his will eventually.

I don’t get it, are you not seeing the exclamation mark?

Well there we go. So you can hop in and play hum- I mean play robot. Of course. We’re all humans, goes without saying. (Phew.)

I mean like it’s actually designed with toddlers in mind regarding size, build and such. It’s just not very pleasant for gaming.

WhoRoger, 10 months ago

Very small handhelds are more commonly used for simple games like for the Game Boy you pick up for a few minutes. They also tend to have nicer, pleasant build quality which partially make up for the cramped controls.

The 2DS isn’t even small, only the screen is. And it’s just kinda crappy and made for a child to toss around.

It’s still a 3DS on the inside so if you really want it, you’ll get the same thing in terms of features. But you asked for opinions, so…
