iOS is also filled with apps that have ads and subscriptions. Having something like F-droid for Foss apps without the nonsense is nice if you need something like a simple pdf reader or even a calculator. IPad has no calculator for example and there's so much crap you have to shift through to find a simple calculator that doesn't have ads or subscriptions.

What did the plant say to their friend they hadn't seen in ages?

Long thyme no see.

Despite having an iPad Pro I would say my S23U is more advanced than my iPadOS. My S23U has better external monitor support for one, and file system makes it much closer to actually feeling like a computer over my tablet. Then there's not needing to use stuff like the Alt store to side load. And apps like syncthing make iOS/iPadOS limitations so apparent with how files sync seamlessly across my Linux, Mac, Windows, and Android devices while my iPadOS is the black sheep in that department with the limited file access when trying out syncthing equivalent apps.

Apple is a very restrictive mobile that just doesn't have great compatibility for anything that isn't Apple. That it doesn't let it be advanced despite the powerful chip becomes really apparent if you try to do anything more than try and use it outside Apple devices, use external monitors, or even want to split screen when it comes to iOS.

One thing it has going for it though is long term updates, but my iPad is pretty an expensive glorified comic book reader most of the time now. I found myself wishing iPadOS had the equivalent of edge panels and one hand operations+ so I could just navigate more easily without having to do full hand gestures.

I hate that Google doesn't even alert you through email if they delist an app you paid for and also remove it from being installable.

Yeah, and being able to see who downvotes you will hopefully lead to people being encouraged to actually leave a comment if they disagree instead of just downvoting everything they disagree with they see. People still are not aware that downvoting is public, so still fall into old habits of using downvote as a I disagree or I don't like you option.

And here's the direct link from Ubisoft themselves.

Accounts tied to an active Ubisoft subscription, or an activated PC game, no matter where it was purchased will not be eligible for deletion.

It seems right up my ally to me like with Kena, but that game was 20 compared to 60.

Could be argued it is an over surplus of workers that has led to salary imbalances that aren't adequate for a lot of people, since there's so many desperate people in a position where they are willing or forced to take less. Scarcity hasn't been the problem of the labor market, which has led to increased exploitation.

I wait for deals and keep track of prices through price tracking sites. I might decide I want more ssd or nvme storage, and then I'll wait. Then price starts to turn like it is now and suddenly I can get more TBs for the same amount of money.

Same for phones. I'll decide I want to upgrade then wait for deals to pop up that hits my price range. Same for GPU. Same for TV. Same for games.

I don't make impulse purchasing decisions. I make a decision then wait for the market to start shifting to a price I feel like paying. Sometimes I wait a year sometimes longer. I don't feel like I intentionally go for a furgal low end or mid range option, since for me some things are worth paying more for. But, I avoid paying retail.

I guess I need to add some other details. I meant a hardware mp3/flac device. Like old school ipods.

Reddit will continue to be the King in size. What was accomplished is that there is now an alternative that isn't a Voat clone this time around with a more broader demographic leaving.

Spread out communities makes it easier to avoid a single admin deciding to go crazy. Like imagine if Reddit had been composed of different instances, so people were able to just pack up and leave the instance he was on and not lose all their communities by quitting the Spez reddit instance. So you make a good point. Maybe over time there will be topic based instances popping up like an instance for entertainment, and an instance for games. Which would be pretty cool over a swiss army knife do everything approach instance where everyone starts migrating communities too because it has the largest user base.
