For a search company I can't believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can't even search "bank" for my banking apps, and there doesn't really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like "home" or...
A stunning photograph of a fashion model walking the runway. She is wearing a unique, flowing dress that appears to be designed like splashing water, creating a mesmerizing effect. The model holds a glass bottle of water, emphasizing the theme of water and life. The background is a dimly lit, sophisticated runway, with a few photographers capturing the moment. The overall ambiance is glamorous, artistic, and eco-conscious., photo
I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?
It appears to me that most of the layoffs are from publishers of AAA games. Perhaps it is too hard for AAA game development to be sustainable. Too high costs and not always good return on investments.
I blocked [community]@lemmy.ml, and I use a script to block lemmy.ml results themselves. So [community]@lemmy.ml should never, ever show up on my feed. Yet here it is due to a crosspost to news@lemmy.world. This is madness.

Increasingly more people in Hong Kong are having mental issues. Lots of them live in stressful life, partly due to the crazy work culture, but the overcrowding with tiny apartments does not help.
I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?
In 2009, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia released a five-year review of dog-bite injuries. The review states that 51 percent of attacks were made by pit bulls.
In 2009, another study was published by the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. The study ran for 15 years and it has concluded that pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are among the most common breeds that cause fatal dog attacks in Kentucky State.
In 2011, the Annals of Surgery published a study, which concluded that Pitbull attacks lead to more expensive hospital bills, higher risk of death, and higher morbidity rates compared to other breeds of dogs.
[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”
Xbox Game Pass rotates games all the time. That means if I want to play a 50-hour RPG, I might have to finish the game before it gets rotated out. And Xbox doesn't make the schedule available.
With Stadia I could purchase games and play it at my own pace, even without a subscription.
The games available to play with cloud gaming vary based on platform and region. You can find the latest selection of titles available for cloud gaming here: Xbox Game Pass Games Library
That means only games in the Game Pass library is playable via cloud.
In a few months they are going to launch a brand new Google One Hangouts+. You will be able to transfer calls to AI, so you can watch YouTube Shorts while pretending to be in the call.
For only $99 per month you can enjoy less features than Google Meet which will be killed anyway.
Yeah Gemini's tone is weird. It is constantly reminding you that Gemini does not have an opinion on anything. It actively tries to avoid giving definitive answers whenever possible.
