context of the post at hand is important, but good job for atleast looking out for potential mistakes.

One thing to note, Lg has their own app store, they would bundle it on smartphones along with the playstore. I remember having a phone from them that did the bundling. Now I use Blu phones.

That is what I was wondering. But at the same time it isn't a tech news community it's a tech community. Although it could be considered spam for reposting this on the same community.

I think so, the reason why Linux isn't as successful even though it's free is because it is complex. With Windows, you just buy a windows. WIth apple you just buy a Mac. with Nintendo, you just buy a Nintendo. With Linux, you gotta know how to hack your computer and you got to pick a distro. (i'm exaggerating a little on the hacking part, but that's how people see it.)

Or maybe we could get a centralised open sourced os that does not have anything to do with Linux, since that's being took over by Microsoft and other investors in the Linux foundation anyways that have been known to use Macs themselves. Just for the sake of simplicity and competition that actual works for people.

If you just simply make an operating system, that alone would increase competition. The thing is, people don't go to Linux when they do think of alternatives they go to mac, you need more commercial oses, that's why apple is number two on most used operating systems on PC.

Most people don't know that. It's a confusing concept, but usually if you know the name of the community just start it with an ! and then add in an @ (almost like an email) then what the instance is. Is a simple way to look at it for new users, or even long term users still getting use to it.

That explains why that when I searched for it from Lemmy.world it still showed up. There does need to be indication if an instance is limited it shouldn't be up to users to just simply know, not everyone keeps up with the fediverse news or knows what the best news sources are yet for fediverse regarding things like this. A simple indication of pottential limitations of instance would solve this best.

I've edited the post earlier with a different community for gaming.

I don't get it. what did Samsung do that's so much worse then degrading the internet search resualts?

[–] rob299 1 points 11 months ago

I feel sorting top 6 hours would make more sense for me if I were sorting posts/coments within a community itself, because I would want the newest posts, but at that point I just defualt to new anyways.

But when searching for communities, personally i'm not for sorting it by hours or days because I want to make sure a community has an ok track record of being active, but at the same time i'm not wanting to keep a monopoly so that's why I don't go out of my way to sort the communities by top year or something like that because then we'd have another Google. I strive to strike a balence.

I appologise for the beehaw community, it did act a little weird as I was trying to link to it. Can someone explain why it wouldn't work like others, as i'm working on replacing it with another one. I was assuming all communities were all freely available for anyone to use.

The thing to take from the whole situation with Google having to pay apple for defualt search that I feel not enough people are talking about is that Apple didn't lose anything but gained. So of course they didn't care about the consequences for users. Apple never took any blame in media press either so they and Google both got away with it, with Google taking little stings from it it every now and then, and now finally it's catching up to Google in particular.

Not saying I blame apple as much as Google for making this step, but their greed is part of the problem too.
