They quite literally do not.

They want – preferably all current, but possibly just new/upcoming – games to have an end of life plan from the moment they are released.
They want that, when a server is switched off, the game doesn’t become bricked. That is something that can be taken into account before a game is released.

Or, per your metaphor: it’d be nice if all currently supported phones could have USB-C added, but only new phones shipping with USB-C is also acceptable.

You argue that you can’t decide how a game is ended becauSe the studio might go under.

I argue such cases can be omitted by taking care of it as the game is being made.

I see, so that really is just all there is. Oh well, thanks for the info.

Do you know much about the development of Fennec, is it an official Mozilla thing? There’s such scarce information out there.

The F-Droid page source code link goes to https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/mobile/android

What does Fennec even do?

When I tried to look into it a few weeks ago I found very little information. The links on the f-droid page went to Mozilla repo’s.

A server browser or other such support can be built into the game from day one, they don’t have to change anything towards the end.

Oh, you were referring specifically to LineageOS; I read it as a comment about Android more broadly.

Me not having to dick around with restoring most individual apps/transferring non–play store apps.

Can you make a proper backup without the use of root/shizuku/adb?

I switched from samsung to Fairphone, and oh my gods base Android is missing so many nice little features and options I’d been taking for granted on OneUI.

Smart switch: actually copies your data over instead of simply redownloading your apps and letting you figure out if/how to transfer individual backups.
samsung gallery: tags, offline categorization, fantastic photo and video editor. Routines, One Hand Operation+ (though “Quick Cursor” is a decent replacement), quick settings. On samsung there’s a feature which can automatically turn off/on wifi when leaving/returning home. google has basically the same feature… but only turns your WiFi on! They really want their location services to be scanning for networks at all times. And apps, like tasker, can no longer manage WiFi either.

Even so, fuck samsung. I would make the switch all over again.

Just curious;

Can’t a style of writing specific to an industry be considered a trend? Or does it have to be a recent/popular fad to be considered as such.

Deezer is the one platform (to my knowledge) which has been very vocal about listing and suppressing AI tracks on its own platform.

Scanning your spotify library is a marketing stunt, obviously.

On my previous coax connection upload was severely limited, even if download went up to gigabit. Now that we have fibre we can get 1 gig up and down.

But I think that’s more of a performative statement

Should it somehow go beyond that, somehow, I have little doubt Louis will put his money where his mouth is. He’s paid $10.000 bounties to people demonstrating they can crack locked firmware, and done lots of other things.

Nuance is indeed easily lost. I think we’re basically in agreement.

Functionally this is no different then someone sitting in a park counting how many people are wearing a blue shirt or Nike shoes.

That isn’t the same level of identifiable as a unique device ID/MAC/whatever though. And even if my devices weren’t the issue, I wouldn’t feel comfortable having an automated system logging my clothes/gait/face just because I’m out in public. Fully automated surveillance such as this ought to be it’s own category.

Also I don’t think you are trying to argue that it is right.

Which is why ebook readers with such screens sell reasonably well, and nothing else does.

If you have a username like that, I would expect you to be able to take a joke about it. What the user said, to me, doesn’t read any different from comments like “thanks for the help, rimjob_steve”.

That compressed database would have to be updated frequently, I don’t know how well it’d work.

Wikipedia has started striking deals with AI companies as a means to cover the cost of their lookups which, as much as I may not like it, is totally fair.

A wiki for some obscure indie game won’t have the same leverage.

Oh, she’s the lady that also does some yt videos. I’ve come across her stuff before.
