Lmao that is a valid point.

Of course. And you realize balloons can have an advantage over satellites in certain situations?

Yep and just to note. There is currently a bug it seems where if you swipe too far, the gesture will have no effect. Instead swipe just a bit to reveal the symbol and it should work.

I feel that certain games can be like that. I’m big time into single player games with good stories where you can get lost in it all. I used to play more multiplayer games like battlefield with friends and it was a great time but it does seem those types of games have gone the way of wanting to analyze every player move and figure out how to monetize the player. Maybe that’s what you’re running into.

Oh heck yeah that’s right. I remember when tweetbot got the boot from Twitter and they made the ivory app now. I’m happy to pay for an app made by Tapbots… they know how to make an app. Checking it out now.

I sure will. Are there any good apps for it yet? Or just web based for now?

I’m just gonna be open minded about it and not jump to conclusions. I could see the US gov making it into a big deal for reasons and I could see it being a balloon to take pics of bases, etc on the ground. Both seem like logical outcomes. I mean it could be a weather balloon but I sorta doubt it based on what I know about weather balloons (I’m an amateur weather nerd). But I could be wrong! I’ll admit that. Gotta keep an open mind.

Ohh I gotcha! Lol that’s funny. I haven’t really checked out mastodon yet so am out of the loop

Huh?

Lmao is “toot” the equivalent of “tweet” on mastodon?

I don’t want a war with China, that would be awful. I’m just trying to be realistic about it. Seems silly to go through the trouble to make a surveillance craft like that and it not even have the capability to beam back any data.

For real. And how about incorporating a feature where the phone doesn’t shatter when you accidentally drop it. You’d think in this day and age that’d be a thing. I guess what you mentioned with the different materials could certainly help with that.

Can’t say I believe that one bit. With how small transmitters can be these days, why wouldn’t it have one? Sounds to me like damage control. Not a whole lot of details in the article anyway.

It was made available in the update that was released today. So you’ll need to update the app and then when you launch it after the update you should be presented with it.

Probably have a lemon party. Hey hoooo!

Well OP used to have affordable phones that were well built but then they started wanting to compete with iPhone and Samsung’s high end phones and pumped their prices up. Really a shame. I had a 5T and loved it. I wish I would have kept it but ended up selling.

Oh yeah it was changed to just “memmy”! I was just thinking yesterday it’s kind of odd it says “app” lol it’s like the dev can read our minds.

I’ve been reading through the Hannibal Lecter Series of books (4 books). They’re all really good!

Very well said and that all pretty much sums up my experience so far. I too find myself periodically checking reddit (via a third party app of course) really just to check out the vibe and see what folks are discussing about lemmy lol. It really is great to see the activity continuing to grow here.

Yeah regarding the game being too easy. I’m not a fan of elden ring because I suck and die way tooo much. However ff16 I find way too easy and I’m in the same boat, haven’t died once. Maybe I should just to see what dying in this game is like lol. It’s kind of odd they made it so easy. Other than that I’m really liking the game.
