Funny because Microsoft also recently dropped support for Firefox for Xbox GamePass Cloud Gaming on Android. I say “dropped support” but really they stopped letting you use the purpose built app and are now forcing you to use browser but the only “supported” browsers are Chrome and Edge. Firefox works, but they forcefully disconnected me after 5 minutes so it’s not a matter of compatibility. They just want that traffic going through Edge ideally but they do still support Chrome, for now.

I use Alpine. It’s enough for what I need and it doesn’t take up 30G like my last Ubuntu subsystem.

A friend of mine also shared this

99% of the time, it’s my browser, so I ended up writing a script that watches memory used. If it reaches 95%, it throws a warning, and 98% force kills my browser. I’d rather that happen than my entire system lock up and have to hard reboot.

That and .tv, e.g. twitch

I believe the section of concern was

At this point, it’s sounding more and more like a social experiment.

I downloaded it but I’ll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn’t able to do.

I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it’s called) at the bottom of the screen.

It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn’t work.

I’m still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can’t use it yet.

Edit: looks like it’s already a logged issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher/issues/24.

Just curious, how do you host it? Do you have it containerized or no?

Let’s all be glad so that we may live in concord.

I experienced the same with Cox Internet.

To be fair, I’m pretty sure that’s how PS5 handled that scenario even before this update.

I need it for Firefox Mobile which is where I view 99% of my Lemmy content.

I’m actually interested to see how this does so I’ve been following it.

As someone who enjoyed the brief comet that was Vine but despises TikTok, this feels like a throw back to that.

Of course, I’d be delusional if I said that wasn’t hopeful thinking.

OP’s article not only discusses Aaron Bushnell but also points out that this is in fact the third.

Holding a Palestinian flag, a female protester also self-immolated outside an Israeli consulate building in Atlanta in December, in what US police described as “an extreme act of political protest.”

Sidebery has become one of my must haves for new installs.

I believe they’re referring to the slide and dive mechanics. AFAIK considering this is the first game I’ve played in awhile, you can now sprint, slide, and dive in any direction.

Think like strafe sprinting and diving around a corner as you turn your aim around behind you to shoot at someone you just dove passed.

The gameplay has changed so little over the years but that’s because it’s unfortunately pretty solid.

I played a lot when I was younger but stopped because I didn’t have the money, hard drive space, or internet bandwidth to keep up with the new games and updates.

With that said, I actually jumped into this beta since it was included in Game Pass and it reminded me of CoD of my youth.

Will I every give them anymore more money? Nah.

Will I play it some more via Game Pass? Maybe.

My biggest complaint is the ecosystem is cancer. They have CoD HQ that acts as a launcher but can only handle a couple games and if you select to play one of the games it can’t play, it fully closes and launches the game you want to play.

Can you simply download and launch only the game you want to play? Nope.

This is all to get your eyes on as much of their content as possible to really squeeze out those last few dollars.

The amount of players I saw with the skins that cost them $100 minimum was crazy. These are very likely the same people that buy every game every year and are precisely the target demographic they’re marketing towards.
