I’m a sub to their services and use it for travel and getting UK shows on BBC that don’t come to the US. Works great and no complaints.

In my freetime, I play games, play with gadgets, solve Rubik’s cubes, play rando’s on Lichess, and take lots of naps with my 6 cats.

It’s a fun game but an ultra competitive market. Either show you’re in it for the long haul or most players will never give you a chance.
I don’t think folks expect to restart when the pre-order perk is 3-days early access… But we live in a world with day one patches on every single game too 🙃
If they were actually concerned about it, Valve could have done real NDA’s and/or plastered the build info and user name on-screen like most game tests. They’ve done it in the past so I assume this was a calculated risk/choice.
Worked for Blizzard before all the Xbox layoffs… The confusing actions are mainly because the gaming division is now it’s own company within Microsoft and responsible for its budget and making revenue for the first time in XBOX’s history. The leadership level all got promotions and new titles, they shared new org charts to everyone, and then the layoffs and closures began almost immediately. It’s no longer about making their user base grow but about making money so expect their games everywhere and to see Game Pass lose features and raise prices.
I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.
Came here to say this 👆 It’s really not hard to get started or use, folks just drag their feet on it for some reason.
It’s mostly a problem with SMS. But yeah it would be awesome if they’d meet Android halfway and adopt some of the RCS stuff
Images get compressed and sent super tiny. Replies to specific texts start entirely new message threads. If someone leaves the group the whole convo stops and your in an empty new message history. Reactions come through as text replies and don’t specify which message it was in reference to. Etc…

If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying
It’s not perfect, but it’s way better for privacy than Google and looks a million times better than Bing. Sometimes the middle path is the best you can hope for / ask of others.
The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us
I do but try to remind myself that “wasting my time” is a concept that capitalism has forced on us bc they want us to feel guilty when not productive.
Came here to say this! It’s great as a second unit and is always in my backpack or luggage when traveling
I nuked a 15yr and 14yr old account on reddit. Just one more to go and today is the day.
What’s with every big tech company trying to destroy their userbase this year?
I moved off a while ago at this point… I still have to use some of it because of work being on G-Suites but otherwise my personal stuff has moved.
Doesn’t seem that surprising since AMD has its chips in all the consoles. Probably just makes the PC and Xbox version extra similar
I don’t get why? It’s a great game
