I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium.
  • You are right.

  • I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium.
  • Even if YT Premium was cheap AF, I wouldn't pay for it because:

    • I know they will raise the price non stop (we all know this).
    • It doesn't come with Sponsorblock, that is already a downgrade.
  • YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50%
  • So, only cheap services are worth it?

    Are there some expensive services that are worth it? not just that they increase their price just because.

    Don't get me wrong, I want more examples (and I am a happy subscriber of Real-Debrid for years already).

  • Reddit is upset about YouTube pause button ads.
  • Oh, I am aware of that "hack" as well.

    Can you see NSFW content too?

    I am not really updated with how Reddit handled that after the APIcalypse.

  • Switch Remake Of Yuji Horii's 'Hokkaido Serial Murder Case' Seems To Be Doing Well In Japan | Time Extension
  • Yeah, the Emio game is the third game of said saga, and more recent, so that is why I got my suspects on that one 😅

  • Reddit is upset about YouTube pause button ads.
  • Yeah, but I chose the iOS and Android clients every day (Apollo and Sync IMHO).

  • Matchboxâ„¢ Driving Adventures | Launch Trailer | US | ESRB
  • I find the graphics style appealing for me.

  • Switch Remake Of Yuji Horii's 'Hokkaido Serial Murder Case' Seems To Be Doing Well In Japan | Time Extension
  • I have been breaking my head because I remember I recently watched another interesting graphic novel for the Switch (I think so) in these days in some of my YouTube videos or perhaps some gaming podcasts that I use to frequent.

    I have memories it was shown in like a Nintendo Direct along or close the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection title (that is why it surprised me to have this sudden amount of VN releases lol) and until I saw this post I thought it was the "Emio The Smiling Man" game, and now I am actually confused if it was this game all the time (although the graphics style doesn't ring the bell).

    Are there any other VN games announced or released for the Switch or modern consoles that I could be confusing with?

    I definitely remember it was about Japan and murders lol (really not helpful with all the VN games mentioned), but I didn't get clear if it was all fiction or if it is based in a true story (which I guess is the case, but I find that too dark for Nintendo).

  • Reddit is upset about YouTube pause button ads.
  • What I find crazy is that they decided to pay for the API to keep using it with the few clients that operate that way, they are effectively paying for using Reddit SMFH.

    Why would one even conceive that idea if you can have an ad-less experience of Reddit in desktop (Ublock Origin), iOS and Android (sideload) still.

  • Between the disappointment around the Miyoo A30 and the release of the RG35XXSP is there still much hype for the Miyoo Mini Flip?
  • I'm sorry I can't help, but I definitely don't see many people talking about this (and I, for one desire the RG35XXSP 🤣).

    Hopefully someone else can bring some insight about this.

  • AskReddit is over run by bots
  • Yep I can confirm, I lived in my tiny reddit bubble a lot of time to care about trending shit and bots stuff.

  • Good websites to track movies / shows / games?
  • I use Trakt, MAL and HLTB to achieve what you are looking for (I don't know what else gamefaqs delivers than HLTB, I just use the latter for adding shit to my backlog).

  • Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games?
  • Hmm, I think my pick would be Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure as my brain is so used to DB characters and I don't find that game particularly hard, and I can play it in short burst yeah.

  • God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement
  • For reviewing a game it is needed to buy it on Steam (my logical thinking would say, yes.).

    If that is correct then I think a better way to express your disagreement with this game would be simply don't buy it, or just pirate it (if it is possible).

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • Well, once again they still hurt more the "legal" clients, nothing new really.

    I still happily have my ad-less YT experience in all the devices I own (as a matter of fact, I just convinced my girlfriend to sideload a YT client to get her a similar experience of mine in her iPhone).

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • Same, but when I sit and do stuff in my laptop I end up procrastinating even more with it than my phone... Anyway, I block ads everywhere I can, and when I cannot, usually I have a pihole running in the background for that in my local network.

  • PS3 is a pirate's dream!
  • To be honest, I had a lot of fun jailbreaking and tinkering with it, but I can count on one hand how many times I've gamed on it since.

    I thought this was why we do this, I have done a similar hack process to lots of devices (software side) and most of them are sitting in a drawer.

  • What are your favorite racing games?
  • Hmm, such as?

    I only have the Pro controller and the joycons.

  • Featured
    [Release][v1.42.8] Implementing user requests
  • Hey man, can we get a feature that when we highlight a text in a post and use the quote button it automatically pastes the highlighted text? (Without needing to copy the text prior).

    Some clients have taught me that way and I feel strange when I need to copy then paste the text next to using said button 😅

  • Several posts with the card view show incorrectly the "open link" icon.

    You can see this minor bug in the picture that I shared here.

    I don't know if dev is aware, but as I didn't see anyone commenting about it I wanted to share it :)

    What do you think of this explanation of why not going Open Source?
    chimbori.com Our Apps and Open Source — Chimbori

    Some components of our apps are open-source, but the main apps are not. This is to protect you and us from unscrupulous counterfeiters who add malware and ads to open-source apps.

    Our Apps and Open Source — Chimbori

    I am not following these claims carefully, but I have seen tons of copies of Lawnchair in the Playstore.

    Another recent event that comes to my mind is the Simple apps, which AFAIK they always were open source? But that didn't matter until it got sold and then Fossify was the non shit version of it (the positive side of open source).

    Interesting that they ranked Phantom Hourglass as number 1, nowadays it is considered one of the worst Zelda games... And I don't agree at all.

    PSA you can use Scaled and Controversial sort types in Sync for Lemmy even if it hasn't been integrated in the app if you set them as your default sort type in the web page settings.

    Hi, as soon as I noticed this was a thing I headed to this community to let anyone else know that you can use the newest sort types in the Sync for Lemmy app with that nice workaround... But I just found a lot of "Sink and Sync threads" here that I actually thought the sort bugged my app/feed lol, what a good timing.

    Anyway I hope this is useful for you guys until the new update arrives... Soon ^TM

    50 Years of Video Game Industry Revenues, by Platform

    It kinda sucks that my favorite format, handheld is so low compared with the other hardware (yeah, I'm not considering mobile as handheld lol).

    Is Lemm.ee a bit slow for you guys?

    I have been noticing it taking longer loads times since today...

    Tested using Sync for Lemmy mostly, but also happened with Voyager.

    Is anyone experiencing this high background usage with Sync?

    3 hours in the background seems a lot to me.

    I started the app clean and configured it from the start (it was a pain in the ass because I migrated my settings from Sync for Reddit lol) and the issue still remains, having this huge background usage prevents my phone from going to deep sleep properly which lends to a bigger battery drain.

    EDIT: BTW the issue is gone when I set the app to restricted battery mode instead of optimized... But I'd rather keep it in optimized as it closes less often in the background, that is how I had it with Sync for Reddit, which on average its active background was several minutes only.

    EDIT 2:

    This is the process that Battery Guru/BBS says shows

    Remember guys, this is why we don't pay for the apps.

    This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there... Even when it was outdated (which I think that's the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?).

    I used it to check the process of my phone and monitor the active and idle drain mostly, I paid for it a long time ago, but now it just fails to check the licence and it doesn't let me use it fully... I think there must be a cracked APK over there...

    EDIT:

    Fortunately the app is back in the store and hopefully that update version comes soon enough!

    Are there any people who hates music?

    I'm not saying particular genres, we all have our less desired musical genres, I mean music in general.

    When I was a child I was very confident to say that I hated music, all kinds, and my cousin used to say that was not possible.

    Turns out he was right, and I only hated the teenage music my sister from the 90s used to listen to.

    Secretly I enjoyed soundtracks and OSTs from several media, such as animes (digimon openings and battle themes for example) and some TV shows or even videogames.

    Then my taste "evolved" and pretty much stayed at rock, heavy metal and alike.

    So that little memory lane inspired me to ask about this.
