So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...
That is actually how the Xbox user interface started to look like after a while. It went from “what you probably want functions” to 80% ad, whitespace and “suggestions” with a Play the game somewhere in there.
I played this game as a kid when it released and remembered not liking it very much. I remembered almost nothing about it. I didn’t remember a single boss fight or temple, like it was really wiped from my mind....
I just started OOT a couple of days ago for the first time. After setting it to run 60fps and dual analog, it feels perfect. A fun adventure where every secret isn’t so obvious and leaves room for imagination. The game suprises you often. I even like how it looks after disabling the texture filters.
The fire sound of the torches are killing me though. The PC port has a sound switcher but i can’t find this annoying ear-tearing noise from it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW6uTdDx7s8
Plan is to try Majora next. I’m probably going to hate it like you as i don’t really enjoy time-loop games.
Bip here. Bought 2018. Have been charging it literally only once a month.
It relieved me from the battery anxiety of my previous sony smartwatch that ran the full googles smartwatch OS. That thing lasted usually a day. Less if i did anything meaningful on it. It made me seriously think if it needed a watch that would do everything, but ended up doing nothing anyway because of the battery life.

I love the gestures themselves. I hate that they “try” to follow device orientation.
It’s a guesswork if the screen is rotated or if the media itself is just so. Also i’ve had multiple cases where the gesturebar is on the portrait bottom but the gestures are on the landscape.
Oneplus did it correct when they had their own gestures. The gestures were always on the same spot regardless of the device orientation. You always knew where they were. Also i think they worked in fullscreen apps without first swiping the gesture bar out.
edit: just wanted to add that i’m on android 12, i don’t know if they are less finicky now.
The back gesture is actually stopping me from using it. It registers both in-app back gesture and the operating system gesture at the same time. It skips the main feed with the two backs, goes all the way back to the communities screen and forgets where it was on the feed.
Filtering posts with keywords and hiding posts manually.
Certain topics cause unnecessary anxiety, on reddit they were easy to avoid with RES. Here the only way to remove a post from haunting you from your timeline is to block the poster, which is bit overkill.
User can specify keywords that are used to filter and exclude the users own subscription timeline from posts that include the words in the post-topic.
For example: User adds the keyword “died” in the settings to a filter list. The topic “Great actor of movie X has died” will now not appear in the feeds. There also could be a more advanced version of this that allows to assign keywords to different communities.
Hiding posts manually
In every post, the tools in the “three dot overflow”-menu should include an option for “Hide post”, which makes that post disappear from the feed.

The re-usability of a phone is almost nonexistent thanks to the battery, that is a fire hazard. You leave it plugged in as a surveillance camera? Your home burns.
If you can actually remove the battery and power it on without one. Just then is everything back on the table.
I have several too. I still find usefulness in this as you can copy-paste text to the other device, like long passwords/emails. I would have killed to have something like this when i had to setup my parents smart-tv.
While i adore the project. I tried it for a year and it got to the point that i had made a script to restart the process as the reliability of it actually working was non-existent. Off course it never worked when it could’ve saved some time. I usually ended up telegramming files.
This was on android & windows connection maybe 1-2 years ago. Maybe it’s gotten better. I haven’t had to use it as the Motorola Ready For -desktop companion is doing good.
Just to be clear, because the articles often are not: You will not hear surround sound. You will hear stereo sound surrounding you.
This will be great for getting a feeling of a wider soundscape. I haven’t heard it but i’d guess it also messes up the soundstage of the music actually has or it sounds more like headphones. You technically could listen to real surround sounds with just three speakers but this only connects to stereo bluetooth sources.
I love obscure and overlooked games and want to share a bunch with all of you. Most “hidden gem” threads end up listing titles with thousands of reviews or that got some level of marketing. I aim to mostly avoid that. While you may see a few familiar games here, everything in the list below has under 1500 reviews on Steam...
Thanks for bringing out Goetia. I bought it back when i had to have any sounds as a distraction, Goetia being very silent at times drove me off almost instantly.
Just seeing that you mentioned good puzzles was enough to give a real go. 3 hours later i’m loving it.
I'd guess the plan is that if the fediverse and meta mingles together, the fedi-users start to follow the meta users in such amount that when the breakup finally happens, they are reliant on meta to continue. People stay on facebook, eating the ads and manipulation just because their mothers and friends are there.
Just thought about the future nightmare of receiving an invite on mastodon to a friends private meta-instance "party" and to view it you are suddenly offered to either decline or import your fedi-account.
I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it’s better than ‘redditors’, which always sounded/looked goofy to me....
