iOS is also filled with apps that have ads and subscriptions. Having something like F-droid for Foss apps without the nonsense is nice if you need something like a simple pdf reader or even a calculator. IPad has no calculator for example and there's so much crap you have to shift through to find a simple calculator that doesn't have ads or subscriptions.

Samsung s23 ultra is my first Samsung and despite having come from Pixels and Oneplus I found I actually liked the Samsung stuff like edge panel, one hand plus+ operation, and sound assistant. All the good lock additions was like getting custom rom features. Find it hard to consider a phone without something like the Spen too now, since I use it to take notes and select text.
In terms of performance if the game has the same visuals does Unreal do better in that department than red engine?
Accessing chats in big picture mode seems worse than how it worked in old big picture mode. Usually if you are in big picture mode it is because you are using a controller, and with the new one it is hard to navigate chats with the controller so I end up using a mouse.
Also, would be nice to have an option to display the entire text of a comment in pop ups, since it often cuts off and I have to entire toggle to overlay , alt tab, or look at the terrible steam chat mobile app. Apps needs work for basic messaging with it not refreshing to show the most recent chat consistently so having to exit and reopen.
What did the plant say to their friend they hadn't seen in ages?
Long thyme no see.
Safari + sponsorblock to airplay YouTube videos to the TV without needing some third party app like smarttubenext on the TV or logging into YouTube premium.
No ads and skipping sponsors with just no extra steps and no need for any other apps is nice. Especially since I don't even have the YouTube app installed.
I'll give this a look, but I worry the files I would like to sync won't be available for some with how random the file access is from app to app.
I have a S23U and edge panels to open up new apps and one hand operation + to make gestures from the edges helps me navigate with one hand.
Despite having an iPad Pro I would say my S23U is more advanced than my iPadOS. My S23U has better external monitor support for one, and file system makes it much closer to actually feeling like a computer over my tablet. Then there's not needing to use stuff like the Alt store to side load. And apps like syncthing make iOS/iPadOS limitations so apparent with how files sync seamlessly across my Linux, Mac, Windows, and Android devices while my iPadOS is the black sheep in that department with the limited file access when trying out syncthing equivalent apps.
Apple is a very restrictive mobile that just doesn't have great compatibility for anything that isn't Apple. That it doesn't let it be advanced despite the powerful chip becomes really apparent if you try to do anything more than try and use it outside Apple devices, use external monitors, or even want to split screen when it comes to iOS.
One thing it has going for it though is long term updates, but my iPad is pretty an expensive glorified comic book reader most of the time now. I found myself wishing iPadOS had the equivalent of edge panels and one hand operations+ so I could just navigate more easily without having to do full hand gestures.
I hate that Google doesn't even alert you through email if they delist an app you paid for and also remove it from being installable.
Edit: I think that this feature is id-walled for kbin users. Which is good, it’s already potentially problematic enough that the entire Lemmy content is fully “crawl-able” without limitation by OpenAI and other less-desirable content crawlers; it would be really problematic if votes were unconditionally public.
It can be viewed without an account might be the url being a problem. But, you can go to kbin and then click "more" then "activity" for any comment or thread to look through what kbin was able to register when it comes to user votes.
I am not running an instance, and am not familiar with the synchronization delay, but this seems unexpectedly long (the downvotes for this post started immediately as I posted it - more than 24 hours ago, so it’s very surprising to see nothing on kbin).
kbin and lemmy has sometimes been problematic when it comes to synchronizing content. Sometimes threads don't even show up on kbin or lemmy if the opposite userbase attempts to make a thread. Same for lemmy and lemmy instances too where some comments will show up and others don't. Even more inconsistencies with how instances will have different defederation lists. This makes votes appear inconsistent from instances to instances and even more so for instances that deactivated downvotes.
Checking it appears that kbin only registers upvotes from kbin and lemmy instances now and only downvotes from kbin users publicly. Wonder if this is a decision kbin made or something was done on lemmy end to keep downvotes of lemmy users from being registered by kbin.

I think for consumers it doesn't matter the reason. A bad experience is still a bad experience, and that's something I found the Apple appstore to be, so avoid it most of the time.
