  • I don’t think it is that much for me, I kinda like “infinite content” what I don’t like is being bombarded with content that is not in English or Spanish… Which I clearly specified within the Mastodon settings to be my preference… So I spend most of the time navigating through said hashtags feeds blocking users speaking in other languages 😑

    It seems that the hashtags feed doesn’t care about language preferences… Or the users posting don’t follow the language rules or whatever.


  • Is this using a PC? Maybe I would.

    If this is from a smartphone… I wouldn’t I guess… I often prefer to retype than dealing with the select text feature… It seems I get the same experience in the most recent mobile OS that I had when I used my iPod Touch 4G a lot of years ago, why does it feel that this feature hasn’t even evolved? I can’t be the only one that feels it is terrible to use, I prefer to use the keyboard gestures than dealing with it.



  • Yeah perhaps.

    It wouldn’t be the first time that scrolling issues exist in Android apps…now that I think about it, iOS should also handle the cache better for the app in the background (as long as it is not running extensive stuff in the background, like downloads in the background such as Spotify, Netflix, Plex etc. it won’t be killed… Funny that it is the opposite with Android haha), so I suppose iOS users are more than happy with Voyager.


  • I was so happy when I could experience “Apollo” on my Android phone (I moved from iOS to Android several years ago and Apollo was the app I missed the most… Until I found Boost and Sync).

    I love Voyager, but there are two issues that keep me from using it as much as I could:

    1. Scrolling smoothness is not yet there compared to other apps, has it greatly improved? Yeah! Especially in the most recent updates, but I think it can improve more.

    2. MIUI really don’t like it lol, it kills the app so fast (it even kills it when using the inbuilt web browser sometimes) I tried all the good measures to try to keep it alive in the background without any luck.

    Now that we are at it, it would be great that this app (and all the other Lemmy clients) always remembered where they were, even if the app gets closed… You know like Sync for Reddit/Lemmy does.

    Even with those two bugs I still keep Voyager in my top 3 Lemmy clients!






  • I just want to say I admire your patience, I do know a lot of folks who would go crazy with the older games without rewind or fast forward functions.

    With that said, if I were you I’d use a relatively cheap Chinese emulator that mimics as an older Nintendo handheld (check out Anbernic) and go with a DS and or a 3DS (either hacked or with a flashcart) to enjoy the two screen games properly and then just jump with the current series in the Switch.

    I am actually on a similar quest right now, slowly advancing, but advancing nonetheless, this has been my journey so far:

    • Beat Pokémon Yellow in a Miyoo Mini half through and finished it in my RG351V

    • Pokemon Soul Silver was finished with my DS Lite, New Nintendo 3DS XL and finally my DSi XL (all progress kept with my R4 2015)

    • Currently playing Pokémon Omega Ruby in a New Nintendo 3DS (the battery of the XL is kinda busted, and I wanted to give some use of my Black Friday edition for once!)

    • I am gonna skip the 4th gen altogether as I “recently” finished it in my DSs.

    • The fifth gen won’t be skipped though, plan to use the same hardware.

    You can figure out the rest, a combination of 3DS and Switch, I am honestly not excited about the Switch line though.






  • Is that it?

    One of the things I like more about AI is that it explains to detail each command they output for you, granted, I am aware it can hallucinate, so if I have the slightest doubt about it I usually look in the web too (I use it a lot for Linux basic stuff and docker).

    Some people would give a fuck about what it says and just copy & past unknowingly? Sure, that happened too in my teenage days when all the info was shared along many blogs and wikis…

    As usual, it is not the AI tool who could fuck our critical thinking but ourselves.
