I'm sure they can design it in a way to work with existing tires. But I'm also sure there's zero chance replacing these wheels will be anywhere near cheap.

Honestly not against it. Reviews are useless for these system core apps. But the descriptions should include some useful info on what this specific app does instead of just being two lines rewording the app's title.

Literally the only rule Musk follows is the rule of power. Legal shit means nothing, might is right. So yeah, govs should deal with him the same way before it's too late.

Youngblood was made by a B-team

Not always, Apex Legends added a 3v3 Arenas mode on smaller maps way after the initial battle royale release.

I didn't get upset, irate or angry though. None of my questions were hostile. I was keeping a softer tone than you did in any of your responses. In fact, from my side, you seem pretty angry right about now. Maybe you are, maybe you are not. I don't really care.

Regarding your "tiki bar" comment — last I checked, this is a Games community, not a Steam community. I stated my opinion, like you said. I know the opinion of the capital G Gamer on Epic Store perfectly well. The thing is that I enjoy poking people into their hypocrisies every now and then, in hopes that they will spot the contradictions in their argument and that will make them think for themselves a little bit. But I guess the capital G Gamers are not the best audience for these exercises.

No. Why do you ask?

Thank you for bringing me up to date on all the Epic Store hate opinions, not like I've read that a million times before. I'm glad you decided that the conversation was about the store when my original comment was about a game. Why are you changing the topic of discussion?

The "one specific game" wasn't mentioned, yes. Just to me it's pretty weird to make decisions on whether I like the game or not, based on the store and not the quality of the game itself. So I stated my opinion on that part specifically. You know, how commenting typically works in platforms such as this.

There are a lot of reasons why. Mastodon apps are not pretty. The logo is not attractive. The signup where you need to pick the server for some reason is confusing. The reputation Mastodon already has among the general public, that it's the place for Linux enthusiasts, is not doing it any more favors.

You say that the algorithms have ruined everything but it's just not true. Discoverability is dead on Mastodon. The platform doesn't suggest me any new people to follow. The vocal minority against the recommendation algorithms is just that, a vocal minority. Recommendations are useful if they are not obtrusive.

I've been trying to keep my Mastodon account active for two years and I've been posting some random shit the same way I did on Twitter. I've been looking for some fun idiots but there are none, it's all uptight serious people who are honestly pretty insufferable to read. I deleted my Mastodon account half a year ago and the one thing I appreciate is how easy it was — just a couple of clicks and you're done.

Calling out bad actors gives them an audience. Nine of your readers will agree that this person is a piece of shit but the tenth will think "hmm maybe there's some truth to this" and follow that bad actor. And that's how it propagates. No, nothing but blocks and silent treatment to people feeding on outrage.

 

One thing I really like about Android 15 is the way back navigation is animated. Unfortunately, not a lot of apps support it since this was not available for a while and a lot of apps rolled their custom solutions. Maybe you could change that in Sync?
