The problem is I don't have an old phone. But yeah I eventually figured that out for a game that I couldn't find online. So what I did was created an emulator on my computer with an old version of Android and logged into my account on that.

Fuck google. I just want to be able to play minit on my phone, but no, Google says it's not good enough for me because they haven't updated the app in a while. You know, like most games. Of course they haven't updated the app, the game is finished, they've moved on from it.

Maybe the whole abandonware thing applies to regular apps, but in my experience most games without microtransactions get updated for a bit when they're released and then never again. Because there's no reason to update your game once you've fixed all the bugs, unless you're not adding new content.

I cannot tell you the number of times I've thought about a game that I used to like and looking for it on the Play Store, only to find out it's been taken down and I have to go for an hour long search through sketchy sites to find it. It's fine if you only play new games, but from my experience, the majority of old games are just not available, unless they're made by a studio that's still big enough to keep up with the requirements. For no good reason.

I would fully understand having a warning for old apps. They could even hide them from recommendations. But if I want to install an "abandoned" app, I should be able to.

Right, so Ubuntu

Nah I'm pretty sure it's still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they're still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

I don't think that's true

I'm 21, but people talk about winamp online all the time so I'm pretty familiar

Would you rather shit in a sentient toilet that begged you not to shit in it, or one that begged you to shit in it?

Well then obviously if you use libraries, your code is too complicated

Yeah but it stops bing and a bunch of AI scrapers that want to act like they're following the rules

I think spoiler tag support is the most important thing missing from Boost. @[email protected] please fix this

Just downloaded the Android beta. When I tried to log in with artemis.camp, it took me to Firefox, where I logged in and pressed authorise, and then I went back to Artemis and it said waiting for browser. Now when I press the artemis.camp button again it brings me to a white screen in Firefox, and still says waiting for browser.

I've also tried it with chrome but same issue
