Hey, it shows up in people's "All" feeds as well. I'm not subscribed here and I saw this post (but I do also already use Firefox).

Friendly reminder that money doesn't win elections, votes do.

"Blood"

"Sex"

"Dragons"

and not much else it seems.

I agree, but that's what the courts decided. IANAL but I'm assuming it hinges on the pretense that Android is supposed to be an open ecosystem where partners and OEMs are given fair treatment, while iOS is a top-to-bottom "product" controlled by a single company that makes their own business arrangements.

In short, Apple deciding to block Epic from having their own app store, fine. Google bribing/coercing Android OEMs to prioritize the Play Store and not pre-install or facilitate the Epic Store, not fine.

I don't think the courts would have cared if Google locked down their own Pixel phones to block out Epic, but it's the act of throwing their weight around as the OS provider to their business partners (the OEMs) that they took issue with.

It's a bit more than that, though. Epic lost their lawsuit against Apple but they won theirs against Google.

Google was colluding with OEMs to stifle competition on Android, and that practice was determined to be anticompetitive. Sure you could always jump through the Google-mandated hoops and install a third-party store, but then you could also always install other browsers on Windows even when Internet Explorer was the default, and that was also determined to be anticompetitive.

I feel like Elder Scrolls was the model being followed for open world RPGs. Assassin's Creed didn't even have RPG mechanics until the later games.

I liked the idea of the bot at first, but now I see it's also promoting other articles in each post. I think now is a good time to block it.

I loved Chris Hemsworth in this movie.

Spoilers below:

!It's a bit on-the-nose, but I liked his changing color theme that accompanied changes to his behavior. He was able to really carry just about every scene he was in, a villain that I really enjoyed seeing on screen. But even then, I also did not feel bad about seeing the scenario(s) depicting his fate. Dementus wasn't a "love to hate" or "hate to love" villain, he was just a force of nature who wasn't there to be understood or judged by others.!<

The Prometheus sequel was Alien: Covenant. Also not a great film.

Alien vs Predator is non-canon (if you can even give this series a "canon" anymore), so I guess the number is either 5, 7, or 9 movies depending on which things you see as part of "the series".

 

Lot of helpful advice in a beautifully formatted checklist. Don't forget to make a copy if you want to use this for yourself!

 

Aorzia has gotten a bit stale lately, hasn't it?

 

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

Seen on a comment today, this user with an Arabic username, written right to left, is rendered in between the points value and label text in Sync, rather than to the left of the value as expected.
