You know, sometimes I see a comment here or there complaining that Nintendo doesn’t have their games on Xbox or PlayStation. That they should just sell themselves to do that.
This is why they don’t. Get ready for a Switch 2 that by all measure will be “too weak to play modern games,” and then Nintendo will turn around and sell millions of systems and games.
Sony Interactive Entertainment sent a message via the PS5 and PS4's advisory systems mentioning that the consoles won't support X (formerly Twitter) integration anymore.
Another fairly large release! Before I get into it, thanks to those who have donated! I had a $50 one-time donor today which means I won’t be working on Voyager tomorrow evening 😉...
It seems like this update (so far) has also helped with some scrolling issues I’ve been seeing on iPad with a trackpad. I hope I’m not speaking too soon on this, but it feels much better to use right now.
I’ve recently been using an Alexandrite instance for Lemmy on my iPad for a bit because of this, so I’m happy it’s seemed to be improved,
I often have my iPad in landscape mode with stage manager on during the day. I’ll plug it into a monitor on occasion for a bigger screen — and of course in that instance I can’t touch the screen.
I have a trackpad and keyboard for it so I can use it off to the side while I do my main work on my main monitors.
Before, the app would get into some state where the scrolling would be really stuttery with the mouse, especially when I went back and forth between posts. But so far today I haven’t noticed anything like that.
But to directly answer the question, I’m almost always using my iPad in landscape.
It’s just that the scrolling that get really stuttery and sometimes stop working for a few moments.
It’s kind of hard to pin down because on a fresh app load it usually is working just fine. But as you use the app the behavior starts to creep up. What I experience is that when doing the two finger scroll, I’ll flick and it may take a couple of seconds before the scroll initiates. And when it does, it doesn’t have the inertia you are used to. It’s like a “hard” start and stop.
It’s kind of hard to QA since I unfortunately can’t give straight repro instructions. So I apologize for that. But I’ve now noticed it pop back up in any instance (outside of stage manager even which was what I was talking about in earlier posts here). This is an M1 iPad if that makes any difference.
Edit: I should also point out that this is just with the trackpad. Scrolling behavior seems fine when using the touchscreen.
I think the pixel art style is great. At the beginning I also thought the game was very cool with a very intriguing story, but then the game started to ask me to do totally useless things for progressing in the story, like: go find the berry for cooking the meal for this person for no reason, but then something stupid happens so...
Officials are trying to understand why consumer spending, the job market and overall growth have not responded to the most aggressive interest rates in decades.
Some of my worst grades were in Econ class because it’s really hard for me to get beyond the fact that the answers to Econ questions always have an asterisk at the end since we don’t know what the future will hold.
It’s like, yeah we say “all things equal” something should happen in a certain way. And in the vacuum of a classroom maybe that’s OK. But it’s really all just educated guesses. And really that’s the best that we can do, and maybe that’s just fine. But when I hear stuff like “economists predict [x]…” I kinda roll my eyes.
You’re telling me having a weed shop on every corner in OKC would somehow make it so the supply wildly outweighed the demand and some of those businesses would have to close? Crazy. /s
In my mind, I’ve recently had this made up scenario where a banker is saying, “I’m sorry, we can’t help you with that home loan. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to rubber stamp approve 50 business loans for weed shops.”
I’m not anti-weed by any stretch. But there simply are too many weed shops, and we might actually see the “invisible hand” work as intended here.
I checked what kind of links are tied to the YouTube app and it’s alle the usual links for YouTube (Youtou.be, Youtube. com, etc;). Yet, I click on a Yt video link and it opens up a browser window.

Somehow over the weekend I forgot that this clown show was still going, but I guess we have another week of the GOP punching themselves in the face and then blaming democrats for not helping them when it’d literally take about five (out of 200+) GOP members to vote in Jeffries and end it.

Must be nice to be able to throw money at things like this.
The reason smart phone sales have dropped — in my armchair point of view — is that everyone has a cell phone already, and the normal person doesn’t need to update their phone every year. I feel like I’m a pretty technical dude, but I still have a iPhone 12Pro because it still runs everything worth using. And it’s still fast. It’s less that I’m tired of this form factor, and more that I literally don’t need a new phone. And I feel like that’s most people most of the time.
I don’t know if I saw it mentioned in the article, but Buccee’s is great not only for the bathrooms and food, but you’ll find signs all over showing exactly what you’ll get paid for working there. And for a gas station, the wages seem pretty good.
You don’t see other gas stations posting their wages for every customer to see is all I’m sayin’. All the way up to general manager showing they make something like $150k+.

More than half of Senate Democrats are calling on Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) to resign after he was indicted on explosive federal bribery charges last week.
I’ve had some bunny ears for about 20 years now and they still work fine for the local channels. Never really need or watch regular tv unless it’s the Super Bowl or Olympics or a storm is coming.
That’s a good idea. Perhaps something is wonky on the network side.
For what it’s worth, I guess, I have an AppleTV and two HomePod minis in different rooms and they all talk to each other. I don’t even know which one of them is acting as the main hub (I think it’s the AppleTV).
But, unfortunately, no. I don’t believe that’s the case here. I can interact with the group chat once I get it back into the “normal” view. It just randomly shows me these three comments — and also a failed FaceTime call — from 2022 when I launch Messages. Then I tap on the chat in the list and it shows me the whole discussion from the latest comments.
I bought some of the Zero Calorie kind this weekend.
My friends and I thought it tasted pretty good, honestly. What I COULDN’T find were full sized cans of it. I wanted to buy a 12 pack, but could only find the little cans in a 10 pack.
That said, one of my friends bought a 20oz of the regular, super sugar kind. And…I didn’t like it as much. The zero calorie one tasted better to me 100%.

It’s far easier to just not use Amazon than it is to not own a phone or computer.
Yes, it sucks there are no good options to buy an “ethical” phone, but phones are basically a necessity. Instead of shopping from Amazon you can shop from tons of other places.
Basically the title. If it feels like the new method in iOS 17 of hitting the plus symbol, then scrolling up and then selecting photos in iMessage takes too long you can just long hold the plus symbol and it’ll short cut to pics....
If they only would have kept 3D Touch. This feature was twice as powerful back then.
Right now you can only move the cursor and select (by tapping with another finger). But you can’t de-select. You could do all that with just your thumb with 3D Touch.
So far the update has felt pretty buggy, with some complications acting weird and flashing when I Raise to Wake.
I’m going to assume this is a short term thing, and the watch needs to get settled after the update. But I have noticed a precipitation complication not updating correctly until I open up the weather app.
So fingers crossed this fixes itself after a few hours.
I do this with my iPad a lot, though obviously not a full “desktop experience.” It’s close enough for normal stuff.
I wonder how much different ios is versus iPadOS in terms of allowing for something like stage manager to work on the phone if it’s plugged in. I imagine it may be non trivial right now. But obviously they could always make changes.
