Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market, so that’s probably why they don’t seem to be in any hurry to seriously support the PC gaming space.
They tend to focus hard on niches they can overcome, and PC/console gaming is a little too established for them to stick their toes in. They tried with the Pippin and the pre-Halo era of gaming, but it didn’t work out for them.
If the Apple headset takes off, they may start pushing harder for VR game support, but who knows?
I love 8BitDo’s products, but I really have no idea what use case those giant buttons are attempting to cater to.
They aren’t good for gaming, and are way too limited when compared to multi-button Stream Decks.
I understand they are detachable, but they just look like e-waste to me.
Oof, as much as I love the idea of bringing back DS/3DS titles to the eShop, I really don’t trust that Nintendo hardware would withstand a fold.
I think a safer option would be for the Switch-2 to beam to the Switch Dock, like a WiiU game pad, and have the option to have two screens if desired by devs. That would give the option to bring back WiiU and select DS/3DS titles using the NSO model.
Curious, those criteria you listed out are not present anywhere I can see in the community rules.
Perhaps you should petition the mods to change them if you feel so strongly about it.
This is a technology community, and (whether you like it or not) Twitter being rebranded to X is pretty big news in the world of tech.
Especially with the slipshod way they are doing with it, there is bound to be a lot of articles covering different weird tangential effects from the rush job.
Most people have knee-jerk reactions to site redesigns, and then begrudgingly accept it sometime after.
The reddit redesign is different, in that most power users, mods, and long-time redditors are still using old.reddit 5+ years later.
Thank you for your service.
It’s no surprise that the majority of password sharing came from poorer countries (and thus, countries where Netflix is priced cheaper).
I doubt this move is going to generate as much long-term revenue as Netflix estimates. There are way more streaming platforms nowadays, with different pricing models that might appeal more to the demographic that was never willing to pay for Netflix.
That, or piracy will become popular again (which is good for seeder ratios, which have dwindled over the last 10 years).
It doesn’t work that way. If you open the Threads app, it’s not full of ghost profiles of your Instagram follows who were automatically migrated over without their knowledge.
You still need to create a profile and verify your handle. You can see which of your friends are currently on the app… but you can also see who has not migrated over yet.
So Threads has been regularly posting how many Threads profiles are being created — 1M, 10M, 50M, etc — more or less in real time. If you go on the app you can see the migration happening as more and more people (and brands 🙄) make the transition.
I believe the numbers. If they were counting the migrated people as “users” then it would be much higher, and it wouldn’t be so low compared to total FB/Insta profiles.
Wow, I didn’t know that. Thanks!
You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.
However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.
Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.
The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
Mobile game devs are making their games with iOS in mind, because iPhone users are more likely to pay.
