$20 million? Microsoft will never financially recover from this!

Exactly, the patent system is so outdated and software as a whole should not be possible to patent.

It might represent a total change to the VR/mixed reality landscape, but that $3499 price tag is just killer.

Mine isn’t very interesting, but sure

Considering the anime she’s from, probably violently with one half of a large scissor.

Is it possible to get around this with user agent spoofing? Or maybe degoogled Chromium?

You can still use it to just read tweets, but I’ve never been a heavy Twitter user in the first place so I’m not sure if anything major is broken in Fritter beta.

Forgot one, Tachiyomi, if you read manga.

Some of the functionality was lost, such as clicking through the trending section to see trending tweets:

For the most part though, it works for reading tweet threads and viewing media, which is all I use it for now. If you’re installing Fritter through F-Droid, you have to install the beta- the old stable version was completely broken by Twitter’s API changes.

Bitwarden or KeePass as open source password managers. KeyPass is entirely local, unless you sync your password database on the cloud, and Bitwarden is cloud based but with the option to self host the server (I recommend Vaultwarden, it’s lighter and written in Rust).

Joplin for note taking, especially if you use Markdown.

KDE connect for sharing files quickly between desktop and mobile - it’s better than the proprietary fast share protocols I’ve tried.

Termux, for shell access and running Linux distros, albeit heavily limited.

Fritter as a Twitter client alternative, though I’m already avoiding Twitter for the most part.

Also corporations:

Cave Johnson: Here at Aperture Science, we’re proud to celebrate pride month. To celebrate, we’ve got a test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You’ll know when the test starts.

The Libreddit frontend is completely JavaScript free, so that kinda layout could definitely work for Reddit alternatives. I haven’t really looked at the Lemmy source code yet, but I’d assume it would still take a decent amount of engineering effort to also add a feature to serve up HTML-only pages.

Have you tried this: https://docs.waydro.id/faq/google-play-certification ? Gapps on Waydroid can be finicky but the Play Store should work for downloading purchased apps.

I don’t think anyone knows the specific metric for accounts being banned after being used with Aurora Store, but I’d say it’s risky enough that you should try to get the Play Store working on Waydroid.

Persona 5, including Royal. Across PS3, PS4/5, and PC, I think my collective time spent playing the game is 1000+ hours. I have no life and need to touch grass.

Can we store gender on a quantum computer? Quibits.

I’d say some of the community moved over, see !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org. That’s more news and politics oriented, but it seems pretty active.

I’m definitely hoping to see some more funny queer memes over time here (I’m not funny or clever enough to make original memes).

Mentioned this in another Lemmy community, but a self hosted (preferably FOSS) home security video solution would probably have prevented something like this. Main problem is those solutions aren’t as simple as Ring’s plug and play cameras.

DLSS doesn’t seem to work in any of the games I play, so I’ve been using FSR in games that support it. It’s not as good as DLSS but it does the job for now.

If you’re stuck with Google Drive, you could use something like Cryptomator to keep your files encrypted and unscannable by Google.
