Let’s see if I can give at least something understandable. To start with, definitely not past tence.

If you ask “would you like coffee?” you’re asking in the present if coffee is something the person wants to drink now. If you ask “would you go to the store?” you are asking if the person doesn’t mind going to the store.

Could is similar but is slightly different, is to ask if the person can do something.

Could you take out the trash ? - are you able to take out the trash?

Would you take out the trash? - do you mind taking out the trash?

Not sure this helps, but in project management there’s this think called the MoSCoW scale to define how important a requirement is, it looks like:

Must (you have to do it)

Should (very important but not as important)

Could (not important but if you can you should do it)

Would (would like to have, this is definitely not important but if you have enough time it’d be great)

I have no idea, apparently, from what he says, no one has found it yet

That’s the thing, I don’t understand why these games feel so satisfying to play, I have so much good stuff on my library to play and this simple ass game where just pretty much grind your way to the end like you said to the other user is what keeps me entertained

Dave the diver and made the mistake of trying vampire survivors, that thing is fucking addicting to me. Already had a taste of it with halls of torment but this type of game really gives you that “just one more run” feeling

URLCheck could be what you’re looking for.

It acts as the default browser but then pops up a window to ask you where to open the link, does it every time. I thought I would be bothered by that part but it’s so much better. You get to choose to open in Firefox private mode even in the in app browser. Links here on lemmy open through Sync (and Connect if I’m not mistaken) open in app on Firefox private mode.

You can also remove trackers from URLs, choose the default app per domain, love it

Thanks for all the info, really good to know that’s a potential consequence of using these apps, I know they sometimes make multiple requests per video in parallel but naively I never gave it a second thought as potential consequences of that.

I’m not necessarily new to this, I’m trying to degoogle little by little. Ever since I started using home assistant I started thinking more and more about self hosting. I think their add-ons are a great way for the unexperienced user to easily start learning about self hosting small things (password manager, personal notes and wiki, etc).

Got a question, I just found out about LibreTube from this post. I use NewPipe on phone and FreeTube on laptop, but LibreTube’s UI looks really good so want to give it a try. Is “YouTube will know your IP” a concern in terms of privacy or because of something else related to them know your IP is using apps that remove ads?

I’ve never been worried about YouTube knowing I use another app to access their stuff, so just curious if this is “just” about Google knowing you IP or something more.

I know this is the privacy community and don’t want to downplay the “Google knowing your IP” part but curious about this and being so explicit on the app setting as well when you turn it on

I’d say it depends on the types of games you probably play? Maybe?

Have the 64Gb one with a 256Gb SDcard, and been perfect for the games I play (hades, stardew valley, emudeck also quite good), I know it’d probably be faster with an SSD but not looking to invest the time or money to upgrade just yet. Really happy with it

The only game so far I’ve definitely noticed slow load times was star wars jedi fallen order, that was the most resource demanding game I’ve played on the deck. Sometimes took like 30secs to load the game or respawn, but after that the whole game was quite normal.

Looking really good, I’m just another one in here saying it but thanks for all the hard work Lj.

Also curious to see if there’ll be a pro version as that was the one I was using, not sure I can go for another subscription but we’ll see.

And a big thanks to Connect dev, great app and definitely scratched the hitch the last few weeks. Might still leave it on the phone for the time being but I can tell by just opening Sync that it feels like “home” again

Always found it weird that Spain has the same time as Poland… On the other side of Europe.

The interesting thing to me is, from what I know, they’ve seem to have just “adapted” to do everything one hour later because of this. At least that’s what it looks like to me (from Portugal). For example, in Portugal you typically have lunch at 13:00, in Spain it’s at 14:00 (same time), same thing with dinner. So even though they’re one hour later they still do things at the same time as before.

Any Spaniards here please correct me if I’m wrong, I’d love to know if my perception of this is right or not

Are YouTube links helpful?

Love Darren Korb, Bastion and Hades OSTs do it for me, they’re great. Although I do feel that generally playing the game does play a lot on your interest on the sound track. I’d say my only exception is the DOOM soundtrack, never played the game but man, that album is awesome

Always liked this because it helps people see to some extent where money is going.

I know the UK and Portugal do this as well. It was especially interesting in the UK during the Brexit years because you could see a tiny piece of that pie chart with EU contributions, almost saying “this is how little of our money is going to Europe”, didn’t do any good in the end but hey, still great info to have that all detailed

Yeah, I can understand that, in sync you can at least copy while you are replying, connect still does the collapse on the reply page with the single comment you’re replying to

Wasn’t aware of Connect, that might actually be the one to hold me until Sync comes out. I was jumping between jerboa (for the swipe actions) and thunder (for the UI similar to sync), but connect seems to have both and a few other things that remind me of Sync (cards for posts, hold to collapse comment thread, swipe actions for post).

I know you posted out of frustration but thanks for the suggestion!
