Yeah, I mean the snap app shown above is being deprecated so there’s not even a choice. If you’re using Authy on PC you have to switch.

https://connections.swellgarfo.com has the connections from nyt, and even lets you play all the previous ones. Same with https://connectionsplus.io

If that happens, you can just switch to another distro. That’s the point of Linux

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

*electric eel. Electric eels are not eels.

Several scientists told Vox that there are significant issues with the study design.

Agree. Bugs doesn’t normally have boobs though. I feel like that’s a bit different. Still doesn’t have to mean someone’s trans though.

I did just that when I first switched to Linux, I installed KDE Neon on Linux Mint. And it broke everything. And when I went to forums to ask for help everyone yelled at me. So maybe don’t recommend installing KDE on Linux Mint.

Can confirm this is true because the same was true for my mum. She was against the COVID vaccine, but then she started believing that the theories were started by the Chinese government to target people who don’t listen to the authorities.

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.

Right, so Ubuntu

I’m 21, but people talk about winamp online all the time so I’m pretty familiar

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.

Yeah that’s because lemmy is way more of an echo chamber so everyone agrees with each other more.

Huh, Linux uses GPLv2? Does anyone have any info about why?

Edit: Found a video https://youtu.be/PaKIZ7gJlRU. Makes sense. Complete freedom to use and modify the software means freedom to use the software in a proprietary device with DRM, as long as you still give the changes to the public.

Right, so similar to locks? Usually can be easily bypassed if you know how, but it at least filters out the people who aren’t determined enough to put in the effort.
