I had never heard of it so i just went and tried it, the mods for it are super buggy but, base game was super flushed out and functional. It’s not minecraft, so it’s a little to get used to but, it works amazingly.

yea that was my next question, if the title was actually available in the country selected, I had that issue with Netflix searches constantly

oh sorry if I was unclear, yea since it’s still a different account I would need to login when I change regions as well, I can’t change halfway through.

that’s similar to how I do it, change the region and then pay, but some items I’ve noticed block sale if the originating payment method is in a different region

Aside from device ID, or maybe if you’re using a billing address as something from Australia, I can’t see how they would be, you’ve stated location services are off, VPN will mask the ip.

I didn’t even need to use a VPN in my cases between Canada and the US, changing to an account that was in the region that allowed the purchase was all I had to do.

That being said if I changed my Canada account to use the billing address of my US residence instead of my Canadian residence when on the Canadian region, I would get region locked I found, so if you have a primary payment method on file using your AU address you could try temporarily removing or modifying it to have a different address

As someone who jumps between the US and Canada (since on the border) I’ve found that, Amazon will block purchases from Canada to the US and visa versa, it doesn’t care about ip, it uses your accounts region, Canada and US have seperate regions in your account settings that you need to do. Sadly this means you would need two different accounts. One for CA and one for US. It’s likely the same deal with audible

judging a quick read of that, it seems most if not all of the changes only apply to commercial use(thankfully), they even specify it under the personal use area,so that makes me feel a little better. That being said I made it to no name brands such as mods with branded automobiles before my ADHD brain lost interest as well

I feel like ads in lemmy would be a hard to implement thing, it would need to be done on the instance level… and people would just jump ship to another instance that didn’t have ads. it’s possible that it could post ads as posts that get federated but it sounds like an amazing way to potentially get your instance defederated in concern that it’s going to devolve to constant spam.

Yeah I see no way this happens, if they wouldn’t involve themselves in Microsoft being a monopoly /anticompetitive they sure as hell ain’t going to combat Amazon

I mean they are currently /ok/ but since it’s only samsung devices it bounces off instead of every android device it doesn’t have the versatility that the Apple airtags have (where it bounces off any apple device and any android device with the app), so if it’s between one of the other I would go with air tag since you can still use them on android (with a secondary app) but as always YMMV since it’s made for Apple devices

that being said, might be changing with googles support for trackers!

I think it’s more likely he googled “Call of Duty Username prefix generator” then shaved the duplicates XD

I see why people use downvoting this way, especially since that was the norm on reddit which a good portion of the base fled from, I find the same issue I had with downvotes on reddit to apply here as well though. I try to advocate down votes to be not out of personal opinion, but a reflection that the content is either useless or harmful to the existing conversation. This allows posts that are actually useful and contribute to the discussion to exist even if they are unpopular to peoples opinion. Just because you don’t like the post, doesn’t mean the post isn’t true or useful, which is why I find that form of downvoting ideology to be harmful overall.

That being said, I would find the parent comment you replied to as constructive to the conversation…Up until they started egging people on with “is getting people super angry” I wouldn’t call this being downvoted for not agreeing, I would call it being downvoted for not being constructive to the post at hand(as there’s no need to actively try to get people to rage at you with a post like that)

I’m not 100% sure where the confusion is coming from so I apologize in advance for the ignorance. Yea universal as in you can do everything there. I’m not sure how the term universal would mean there can only be one. It would be counter productive to the freedom of the internet to have it that way. I would prefer to be able to access everything from one app. Would save a buttload of space on my phone and would make things universally easier by having the same interface across everything. I would prefer it to not be twitter since the platform sucks, but I wouldn’t be against something like that and thats the wonderfulness of the internet, you can have more than one service doing the same thing.

The term universal and distinct are not mutual, unless I misunderstood the definition of universal somewhere

A good example of this would be pideon, I used to use that as a service to be able to access XMPP, IRC, Skype (back in the day), and google chat. Universal app that could be used for all my social needs, without having a monopoly.

I wouldn’t be against multiple universal apps for Freedom of choice tbh. Like there’s already matrix which is attempting to do something like that for chats with bridges, and the there’s also beeper which uses the same framework iirc

huh, interesting the more you know. An app that is universal for all common things would be nice but, Twitter would need a MASSIVE overhaul to do anything like that. Facebook has a better chance of doing that just due to how broad it is(still wouldn’t use it cause Facebook), twitter is far too limited for something like that

wait musk is pulling a card from Facebook Meta’s playbook? interesting

This post alone just told me that I am never buying an LG washer or dryer, that is fucking stupid. you can:t change the settings without being connected to the internet? Yea hard pass

this change will solidify that I will never buy an LG product if they all have that shit

Ain’t that the truth, IRC was arguably the easiest service for me to set up, it had all the defaults basically set I think I only have the change one or two settijgs and open the ports, anything else was optional and it came with all the bells and whistles (of what you can get out of IRC… lol)

I expect there probally is, I only briefly looked at the integration system and the bridge system nothing really caught my eye but it would make sense that since they’re looking for more IRC feel that most of your basic moderation perms would be through a bot of some sort kinda like how chanserv was
