The problem is I don’t have an old phone. But yeah I eventually figured that out for a game that I couldn’t find online. So what I did was created an emulator on my computer with an old version of Android and logged into my account on that.
Fuck google. I just want to be able to play minit on my phone, but no, Google says it’s not good enough for me because they haven’t updated the app in a while. You know, like most games. Of course they haven’t updated the app, the game is finished, they’ve moved on from it.
Maybe the whole abandonware thing applies to regular apps, but in my experience most games without microtransactions get updated for a bit when they’re released and then never again. Because there’s no reason to update your game once you’ve fixed all the bugs, unless you’re not adding new content.
I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve thought about a game that I used to like and looking for it on the Play Store, only to find out it’s been taken down and I have to go for an hour long search through sketchy sites to find it. It’s fine if you only play new games, but from my experience, the majority of old games are just not available, unless they’re made by a studio that’s still big enough to keep up with the requirements. For no good reason.
I would fully understand having a warning for old apps. They could even hide them from recommendations. But if I want to install an “abandoned” app, I should be able to.
Second Wind made a response. Everyone else at Second Wind disagrees with Frost and is happy with Nick. Quote from Yahtzee:
I wish him well and that he’d focus on his future rather than trying to stoke petty drama in ways that reflect badly on him more than anyone else.
Nah I’m pretty sure it’s still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they’re still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/
I don’t think that’s true
I’m 21, but people talk about winamp online all the time so I’m pretty familiar
Would you rather shit in a sentient toilet that begged you not to shit in it, or one that begged you to shit in it?
Ok but they do respect it, we know that https://searchengineland.com/microsoft-confirms-reddit-blocked-bing-search-444385
They even have a page telling you how to use it https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/June-2008/Robots-Exclusion-Protocol-joining-together-to-pro/
Yeah but it stops bing and a bunch of AI scrapers that want to act like they’re following the rules
I don’t think they actually block malicious bots, the change they’ve made is just to the robots.txt, they don’t have to do anything.
Damn, the US needs to get their shit together
Don’t know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z
This change impacts every mobile user, not just iPhone users. iPhones are a good portion of the userbase of most apps/websites. For PWAs to gain mass adoption, it needs to be available for the majority of users. This change means that will not be the case in the EU.
PWAs have just been doomed by Apple, and unless Apple reverts this change, they will now never be successful in the EU. And probably not even outside of the EU since non-european products still have european users.
I use Linux as my daily driver, yet I 100% believe Linux is overrated. It’s great if you’re willing to put in the work to get it working well, or maybe if you have someone else to do all your tech support for you, but it’s just not a good option for the majority of people.
I hate when people keep trying to push it on Windows users, especially when they go on about how “easy” it is. It’s not. And doing that will get people to try it out with high expectations and then get disappointed when they try it out and that’s not the case.
