Hi! No not at all, at least for me on both devices (Skyline and S25) Blorp ran great! If I get bored of Summit I'll immediately return to Blorp ☺️

I'm a pretty geeky IT person, who is trans, watches anime, reads manga, and plays WoW.

Yeah I'm basically a walking stereotype at this point 😅

Okay I just reread your post, as I missed the bit you mentioned about instances like blahaj hiding the downvotes.

So a couple of questions for you.

You mentioned the communities aren't on the instances that hide downvotes.. Are these communities that live on instances that are not federated with for example blahaj.zone?

And also, you mentioned that instances that are hiding downvotes is also not a solution due to the downvoter and others still being able to see the downvotes. So I ask, why is that an issue for you? Why be worried about fake internet points that aren't even really tracked here (unlike Reddit for example), that you can't even see? Actual engagement in discussion between people is far more important no?

Orrr, move to an instance that has the downvotes disabled. They don't exist if I can't see them ☺️

Haha yeah he did. From what I saw it was mostly just basic topics where he tried to make it look like he was an industry veteran pentester

I originally saw the guys cyber security shorts, and those just felt so off, like it was a semester 1 CS student spouting what they just learnt to seem like an SME.

Then much later on I came across him again when I saw that Hardcore WoW drama unfold. Instantly knew I was right when I originally thought something was off about him, felt so validating haha

This resurfaced a really old memory from when I was like 8 or 9 maybe.

We had a homework assignment (kind of) for school, where we had to go out and pick a star from a spot in our backyards or wherever, and then for each night over 2 weeks we had to track the stars position relative to our position we chose on night 1.

This was around the late 90s by that point, and I always thought it was pretty cool to get our young imaginations going on the stars beyond ☺️

Wasn't the "I worked at Blizzard" guy (can't think of their name right now) one of the most public people against Stop Killing Games?

Wonder what they have to say about all this now?

Not sure if it's available on F-Droid or not, but I've been using Summit lately and absolutely loving it. Blorp was my previous favourite, but I prefer the bit more modern and clean UI of Summit.

I did try Jerboa about a year ago when I first tried Lemmy, but quickly dropped it due to UI/UX issues I was experiencing at the time, but I would personally just stick with Blorp if it was between them.

Voyager was another I tried previously. Earlier I tried on my other phone (HMD Skyline) and consistently had performance issues with the app (long load times, occasional crashing, janky scroll). When I got my S25 I thought this would be solved with the more powerful device, and while it was much better than before, I still had performance issues.

Hope this helps a little!

This is going to be all about how they implement it imo. There was a specific line in that article "for those who want it", if they go for an opt-in approach which only then installs the AI capabilities, then yeah okay I don't mind as an end-user.

If however Canonical implement AI into Ubuntu without being opt-in, then I'm out and never turning back.

This is my biggest thing I need to change in my life currently. I've been told so many times now that the weight I'm holding on to is most likely still due to the soft drinks and sugary energy drinks I consume way too much of

 

So for background, I'm an IT Consultant, and mostly work in the development space, but one area I've never touched before has been mobile app development. So today, I spent the day getting a new GitHub repo sorted out, put together a pretty simple Actions workflow with SonarQube integration and basic test gates.. on that note, got a new VPS up and running and deployed SonarQube there. Then finally just got my first Gradle project running on Android Studio, and after dealing with a corrupted keystore (fixed by just nuking the keystore, cleaning the project and rebuilding), I finally got technically my first Android app running on my S25 😄😄

You dont, hence why only a lower limit could be established with a single frame capture.

Basically like saying "if we only got 1 frame, then it must be going faster than x mph/kph"

 

Hii everyone!! ☺️ Here's my two GameBoys that I have had since I was a kid. I'm thinking for the GameBoy Color to do the screen upgrade with backlight. For the GameBoy Pocket, I will need to do a screen replacement which I want to go with an OEM replacement, or at least OEM spec. I also need to find a battery cover replacement for the Pocket.

Any advice on what to look out for opening these up? And also any advice on where I can start sourcing what I need?

Thanks in advance!

 

PS1 games and memory cards are all originally mine from when I was a kid, same with the GameBoy games and the GameBoy Pocket.

The Pokemon Stadium and Digimon card books are complete as well 😊
