  • Error 50x when looking for Nijimiss.moe profiles

    Jump

  • You mean Nijimiss? I'm running the searches for that within Kbin Social, and not the opposite, and tinkering with the VPN, Kbin doesn't seem to have problems with EU IPs (isn't it from Poland? I have the impression I read something on that previously).

  • I wish Kbin allowed disabling picking the blurb's body of text X'D

  • What's a good phone now that doesn't force ads on me?

    Jump

  • Any with good hardware as long as you can switch to stable and community-made ROMs.

    [DLsite] [NSFW] Sweet love life with the goddess of the fight!

    Jump

  • Can't disagree, UI still hurts the eyes, and I've been using it since 2021. "<.<Still, so far, it appears legit through comments I saw from quite a few developers and users.

  • Should I refrain updating to HyperOS if I care about rooting and custom roms?

    Jump

  • In a 12-paragraphs news, with the later half being shorter than the first, the first 5 paragraphs are for praising the security changes (a pretty big red flag), the 6th is for introducing the important part (while using fearmongering), and only in the 7th and 8th paragraphs that they go through the important parts, with the method itself being basically a way to scare all but the most stubborn users.

    I seriously suggest that the OP (or anyone else, really) unlock the bootloader as soon as possible, and if possible, changing the OS for anything Xiaomi can't touch.

  • Should I refrain updating to HyperOS if I care about rooting and custom roms?

    Jump

  • I haven't read anything about Xiaomi tightening phone modding, but one thing I remember reading often when it came to modding systems for other devices is, "if possible, never update your system", so maybe something to keep in mind.

  • [Prime] Akka Arrh

    Jump

  • By this logic, demos from GOG could be posted too, since both are appetizers for something else (in Prime's case, an appetizer for the paid service), and both can be claimed.

    Jump

  • Prime is a paid subscription, so users would need to pay to be able to get the game.

  • Offline apps for when you have 5 minutes to kill?

    Jump

  • What are you playing right now?

    Jump

  • Playing Hollow Knight. Pretty fun so far! Just a tad too hard and far more expansive than I'd expect even a metroidvania to be, so progress is slow.

  • If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why?

    Jump

  • Since 10 y.o. is old enough to be a cutoff for me, PS Vita, and because modding community never stopped. You can even play some Android and PC games through wrappers in it. *-*

  • Does anyone just wish so much of the burden wasn't put on you?

    Jump

  • Maybe don't care as much? First due to the stress it causes. Second, if you pretend to be someone you're not, people may end up liking that instead, and much like with any farce, the longer it goes, the more cracks appear.

    Also, something I try to do is, without worrying much for the result, to chitchat with people. If they sound/look interested, I keep going and depending on how it evolves, I might even have gotten someone who I'm going to be hanging with for years to come. If they don't sound or look interested, I slowly drop the attempt and try it with someone else down the line.

  • Isn't this the purpose of this community, to share game deals? Although I suppose you'll not be seeing my reply since I'm allegedly blocked.

  • My internal fight over what device to buy

    Jump

  • Iirc, there are unofficial ports of LineageOS for newer devices. Also, I've been using another system, ArrowOS, in its vanilla form, on a Redmi Note 10 Pro phone I have, and it's working fine so far, so maybe an alternative for your case if you don't find a decent phone compatible with LineageOS?

  • What do you guys recommend for language learning from scratch?

    Jump

  • Duolinguo feels more like a very annoying ad than a learning tool, often under-explaining what it tries to teach while heavily penalizing and shaming the user for getting things wrong.

    What I would suggest, other than hiring an actual teacher, would be to immerse yourself in works from their language, such as music, comics, books, movies, and so on. Also, Spain's Real Academia Española has a dictionary+conjugator site that is VERY helpful, even for "dialects" such as the Latin America variations (link for the tool is dle.rae.es). Finding someone to try to talk to in Spanish may also help, although getting to know some of the grammar beforehand is advised.

    Now, as for either free or FOSS programs specifically for learning the language, sadly, I'm not aware of any.
