  • Ordered LE ~20 minutes after launch. Currently stuck on “Packaged items”, and refreshing way too often to see the same message…

    Our distributor has hit a processing backlog for orders to Canada. We are actively working through the issue and will ship your order as soon as we can. You will receive an email with tracking information once your order ships

    I’m hoping this backlog won’t be too long. 🥲


  • It seems really dumb to play on such a device, but I’ve been playing a few rounds of Bejeweled 3 when looking for something in short bursts. There’s a controller profile that works surprisingly well with the dpad + face buttons.

    For laid back / cozy games, I recommend A Short Hike, TOEM, the Frog Detective trilogy & Dave the Diver.











  • It’s still possible but that requires a few steps to works.

    If you’re using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called “Open app”.

    If you’re using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn’t provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it’s not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.

    The best option is to use “Open Link With…” which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It’s as simple as sharing the website to “Open Link With…” and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven’t tested it so YMMV.

    I hope this was useful!





  • Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their “mistake”. They want to be seen as the victims like they didn’t know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something “less worst” is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.


  • How to be a company in 2023

    1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
    2. Don’t use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
    3. People are angry… Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
    4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
    5. ???
    6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

    Rinse & repeat, because we’re all humans and we can’t learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won’t happen again… right?




  • I’m using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.

    Because Sync came first, it’s still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don’t become dependant on a single app/interface.

    I’ve also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.

    Good analogy. The battle shouldn’t be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.

    OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.

    The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.
