I’m ok with static ads. Targeted advertising gets a block from me.
I will hypocritically say that I use Gboard. I love Emoji Kitchen.
The day it comes to FUTO keyboard I’m outta this spyware.
On-device stuff? Sure I’ll take it. But not ones that connect online.
Especially since Apple doesn’t paywall basic health features behind a subscription.
Disappointed to see the dumb Fitbit Premium subscription carry on. Too pricey.
I like this one. Followed it last night.
Targeted advertising is a huge no. No more of that.
Static advertising I can accept, but then who’s responsible for vetting ads? I don’t want scams displayed everywhere.
Devs definitely need ways to support themselves and sustain development. I’ve shared this screenshot from the app Secure Tether before:
I like to chip in a few bucks to my most used apps/services that are donationware, but after all the middlemen take their cut, the devs are left with peanuts. This IMO is the biggest hurdle when it comes to online monetization. A less expensive way to donate will certainly help.
Additionally, there are people who cannot or will not pay for apps, and I don’t want to exclude them from being able to use an app/service they need.
Monetization like how Reddit Gold was and how Discord Nitro is are some of my favorites. Few extra perks and cosmetic features for paying users. Free users are still able to use the main product at no cost and you can gift them Gold/Nitro if they aren’t able to purchase it themselves. I don’t know how that would translate into an app store model though.
@fucker@lemmy.world were fairly prominent for a while with !internetfuneral@lemmy.world
Maybe for a month if I’m on a trip to a remote location. Don’t really see a use for it other than that.
Nintendo Switch OLED.
In my opinion it’s the perfect console form factor. Portable yet dockable when needed, detachable Joycons that can turn into 2 controllers for multiplayer games and a bright and vibrant OLED screen.
it’s unfortunate that it’s severely locked down by Nintendo, held back by its weak processor and Nintendo dropped the ball with Joycon drift.
Fez. Got stuck and just couldn’t figure out how to complete the game.
For Hades, I beat him once after an enjoyable 35 hours, but didn’t have it in me to repeat that 9 more times for the credits to roll.
If you’re a regular on any of the communities I mod, I remember your username. Any new username to me immediately stands out.
:O
Curious what the process is like. How long does it take to ferment?
When I got time to kill, I’m browsing through subbed communities and finding new interesting one. I also spend a lot of time within my moderated communities and and getting their daily posts up.
Other than that, my time is actually spent off-Lemmy – I try to find fun/silly/interesting stuff elsewhere to share on Lemmy to drum up discussions here.
It is still just Beta 2, but it is disappointing to see Android 15 not get any acknowledgement at all on stage at I/O.
Pixel by any chance?
I run into this bug every other day on my Pixel 6a. Also causes “swipe down on pill to use one-handed mode” to break. Have to reboot every time to fix it.
Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.
