Wireless earphones/headphones are more expensive and sometimes inconvenient. People defending companies say "you can get a pair of wireless buds for like 20 dollars" you can, but how much are they going to last and how shitty will they feel and sound? Even when buying them for a high price, their batteries will wear out. The worst thing is adding this port doesn't affect you in the slightest if you don't use wired headphones, so couldn't you just shut the fuck up if that's the case?

I never left. What I did is I browse and do what I did regularly on Reddit on Lemmy, except when I want to search for a really specific information about a thing, which can't be done here.

If I want to post something, that's on Lemmy (even if it doesn't get any reaction) and also Reddit if I need replies

I used to think that, but now I think we overestimate the generosity of people

Finally having quality games on smartphones? I do really want that

If you also consider paid games that have no available purchases inside:

  • Stardew Valley
  • Alien Isolation
  • Crypt of the NecroDancer
  • Super Meat Boy Forever
  • Terraria
  • Layton series
  • Witcheye
  • World of Goo

There are plenty of ports or quality games on Android. They're a minority, but plenty

Me too, but to Thunder. I find its interface more polished.

Could someone explain what's the big problem? They're open source, you can still use the existing apps just fine. And with time, someone should fork them, shouldn't they?

I remember I couldn't even use earphones on the street or on school because I thought people were going to look at me more, even thought everybody uses them

Nope. I have the 8 Pro. They have a gaming mode that you activate with a switch on the side. That gives you access to a space isolated for games and specific configuration options. Another useful thing of that mode is it adjusts the game aspect ratio to fill the black bars when playing with the phone connected to a TV (no stretching).

But the software doesn't have that feature and it isn't anywhere near as polished as Samsung's in general.

AntennaPod for podcasts KeepassDX for a password manager LibreTorrent

And remember to donate the developers :)

If you are going to get the Gamesir, I'd recommend the X2 Pro, it's the same you mentioned but improved, with more precise joysticks and analog triggers. That's the one I got and it is more uncomfortable to hold than I thought, other than that good so far.

There are other options for telescopic controllers, like Razer Kishi or Backbone, with their pros and cons. And there is an upcoming controller called Vagabond Elo that seems like it's going to be the best one, but their cringe marketing makes me not trust them.

Or you can use an Xbox or PS controller with a clip for your phone, which is obviously much more comfortable to hold. But some people say the weight distribution on some simpler clips can make your hands get tired after a while.

In some way, they already have, no?

It would be amazing if it went well and smartphones were finally taken seriously because they have so much unused potential for videogames. I know the A17 Pro should be perfectly capable of running these games in theory, but with the crap cooling of the iPhone we'll have to see

That's a lot of words for "I know, but I really don't want to give up my porn 😭"

This.

All that to justify watching porn. You already said "you take every reasonable step that you can" to make sure you are consuming ethical porn. So you should be done.

Why try so hard to defend people who, being aware that it could very well be made sexually abusing women, watch porn carelessly? Which I think is obvious the criticism was aimed to.
