People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.

If you’re going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:

Had to quadruple take this wasn’t a Battle Network community, what a crazy thing to see on Lemmy.

We should bring back r/OkBuddyNetwork on Lemmy.

Bro…

I can’t believe OP is actually forklift certified

It was just how the settlement was worded; this team is prevented from distributing “anything that circumvent’s Nintendo’s blah blah,” and Citra was developed by the same team. So, it got taken down all the same :(

Great work, thanks!

Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I’ve got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.

A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.

Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:

https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra

They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.

18 isn’t long enough, better wait until 34

I don’t think they were disagreeing with you, I think they were just trying to say:

You shouldn’t need braces to be vertically aligned if your code is uniformly indented. Then you can easily see what code is paired together just by their indentation level.

Of course this is not always true if you’ve got a bunch of crazy nested indentation pushing things off to the right.

Makes sense. The article calls it “unwarranted gatekeeping,” but they wouldn’t say that if they knew how Android internals work.

Looking at the video demo for Circle to Search, it’s very likely they built this on top of ActionsServices, an Android component that enables extra interactions on top of the Recents switcher. This is already what’s being used to do things like OCR in the Recents switcher.

Other non-Google ROMs use ActionsServices too, but their implementations vary, and they can’t just “tack on” something as complicated as this onto any vender implementation of ActionServices and expect it to work. They might not even have a vendor rollout plan for this thing yet, for all we know it was rushed out the door.

Google has had a tight partnership with Samsung since the Pixel 6 came out, which is why it doesn’t surprise me that Samsung will be getting this feature first. Google can essentially boss Samsung around for little system things like this.

The “for a long time” comment was probably due to Android 15 already being mostly final at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were core changes to Android to allow more pluggable customizations to the Recents switcher in Android 16. That might enable Google to offer this feature to other vendors more cleanly (assuming the feature survives that long, which is doubtful).

You can’t have a ton of Pals on your base until you level your base up, but in theory, yes, you can create a gun factory if you work for it.

It is. The user just won’t see any content from the server they blocked.

That’s entirely different. As an individual, I have the choice to send emails to, or block emails from, Gmail.com.

But on Lemmy, if I am on an instance that federates with Threads, and I don’t want Threads.net to get a copy of my content or posts (or have my content or posts show up on Threads.net in the future), then tough shit for me, my only option is to either go silent or move to an instance that has defederated from Threads.

People keep making the email argument, but it is not the same thing at all. I don’t think it’s fair for a large percentage of lemmy.world’s users to not have a voice in a decision that will absolutely impact them, nor is it fair to have a stance of “then leave then.”

Not sure what you mean. I’m not trying to use an external monitor, I just want to use AR glasses I already own. There’s no adapter for that, it’s just a USB C cable.

I really hope this will let my AR glasses work. I was bummed they didn’t work with my Pixel 6 Pro, and half the reason I went for an 8 Pro were the initial display out support news from July.

When this workaround was reported to not work, I was pretty bummed, but this seems like a good sign. I’ll be building my own ROM anyway, so I can easily set this property enabled by default with no need for root.

Hey, where’s Perry?

Thanks, I didn’t know about this!

But it doesn’t look like it supports text message triggers :(

The person you replied to is being downvoted, and yes, expecting support from Google is a meme, and Google deserves 100% of the negativity they’re receiving in this regard.

But, in their defense, they have always kept their word on keeping Pixels updated, and in some cases, have added on an additional year of support when not originally planned, including an extra full Android update for older devices.

So while they eventually kill every new software product they make, they’ve always kept their word on Pixel updates. I think the Pixel team has a lot more resources than the rest of Google, so I’m inclined to believe them for now, but I’ll be one of the first people grabbing a pitchfork if they don’t keep their word.

There have been a few RCE’s for Android 11 and up impacting both Bluetooth and the Baseband.

Bluetooth:

Baseband:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/03/update-android-now-two-critical-vulnerabilities-patched

Of course, Android 11 is still supported as of right now, so if you have been getting security updates when available, then you are good. I just know there are phones running 11 and below that don’t even get security updates, so those are the people that need to watch out. You can check your Security Patch Level in settings to be sure.

If you haven’t been getting security updates, I would definitely consider getting a new phone. Especially if you are not one that stays home a lot. The people who will try to exploit things like Bluetooth will be out and about, not walking up to your home.
