Funny because Microsoft also recently dropped support for Firefox for Xbox GamePass Cloud Gaming on Android. I say “dropped support” but really they stopped letting you use the purpose built app and are now forcing you to use browser but the only “supported” browsers are Chrome and Edge. Firefox works, but they forcefully disconnected me after 5 minutes so it’s not a matter of compatibility. They just want that traffic going through Edge ideally but they do still support Chrome, for now.

I know it may not be the most legal conversation, but how best can one back up physical games? It has been a long, long time since I last looked into it.

I use Alpine. It’s enough for what I need and it doesn’t take up 30G like my last Ubuntu subsystem.

99% of the time, it’s my browser, so I ended up writing a script that watches memory used. If it reaches 95%, it throws a warning, and 98% force kills my browser. I’d rather that happen than my entire system lock up and have to hard reboot.

That and .tv, e.g. twitch

I believe the section of concern was

Yeah, I probably wouldn’t have done that myself. I love browsing itch.io but I don’t want an otherwise useful feed to be clouded with a ton of lower quality/incomplete games.

Of course that’s not to say they’re all low quality or incomplete.

I’ve also heard it referred to as cross-play, though without the contact of cosplay, can be somewhat confusing.

I did not know most of that. Very informative, thanks!

Do you use it on a Pixel? Last I read, that’s the only officially supported phone. It feels ironic giving Google money for a phone so you can use deGoogle more.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for it, I just wish it supported more devices.

Since when did the Blue Screen concept change from being an actual error screen to simply the Windows update screen?

I’m guessing shortly after Windows began implementing aforementioned update screen?

This is the first I’ve heard it referred to as the Blue Screen.

For reference: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death

At this point, it’s sounding more and more like a social experiment.

No. The game is paid. It should come with all available settings. This is just one step away from studios hiding HD textures behind paywalls.

And this line of thinking is what let’s them get away with it.

I downloaded it but I’ll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn’t able to do.

I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it’s called) at the bottom of the screen.

It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn’t work.

I’m still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can’t use it yet.

Edit: looks like it’s already a logged issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher/issues/24.

That’s how I was originally introduced to him, and then again later on Critical Role.

Just curious, how do you host it? Do you have it containerized or no?

Let’s all be glad so that we may live in concord.

I’m guessing in most cases, the intention is to convince someone that’s already a close friend or loved one.

I experienced the same with Cox Internet.
