We’ll see how much you like the quiet when you can’t find a good QB for a decade or 2 and are constantly fighting to reach . 500

I bet you’ll be missing that “chucklehead” before the season is over 😂

This is tough, I dont know if it will happen or not but for the jets I think I have to say Becton. If he’s healthy and pops off our oline is going to be way better than people expect. If he doesn’t… Well hopefully we don’t end up on our 5th and 6th tackles again this year

“If you regress his stats back to the mean” lol that was a classic post

Yeah I’ll definitely still watch both

From what I’ve read, he doesn’t really practice, so there is no reason for him to be in a rush except for maybe learning whatever system he’s going into and he’s a veteran so that’s probably not a big worry. He’s just waiting for whoever is the best situation/most money. I could see it stretching into the preseason, idk about into midseason but it’s possible

I’m really excited for this. Hard Knocks has been pretty meh recently, although the Lions were good last year. I like the Jets in house production, One Jets Drive, a lot but it’s basically team propaganda so I’m looking forward to seeing HBO’s perspective. I’m biased obviously because I’m a Jets fan but the 2010 season with Rex was the best season of Hard Knocks ever IMO, and coincidentally the last time the Jets made the playoffs lol

1000%

Good luck! Just the fact that someone is trying it is encouraging

Don’t get me wrong, apollo is great. And I am going back to android for other OS reasons, I just like it more. I used it my whole “smartphone life” but wanted to try out ios since I saw a deal on an iphone and don’t use my phone a ton anymore (I used to install custom rims and just sitch devices in general all the time). I decided to switch back to Android after a little under a year with iOS for smaller reasons like customisability, the Google ecosystem all my shit is in, etc… But to answer your question, some of the things I love about relay that no other app does is the built in browser that functions by just swiping down the bar, I used it a lot to go back and forth between an article some content and the actual reddit comments, I also really like the aesthetic of how it separates posts and comments, the swipe gestures are pretty standard, probably some other things I can’t remember but it’s probably just a personal feel.

One of the few things I could never get over after switching to apple was losing out on relay. No offense to anyone that uses other apps on Android, part of the reason android is so great is the variety but relay to me was the best by far without any doubt. I used apollo on iOS and it’s good, I’m actually switching back to Android right now because I I just prefer it to iOS so it doesn’t matter anymore because I’m looking at Lemmy apps for Android mow, and I’ll probably try out wefwef on Android since I like it on iphone but man once you put this out… I don’t see how I could use anything else if this is even close to relay, that UI just speaks to me

I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though

yeah I’m not holding my breath haha I was not expecting it to be on ActivityPub so was surprised to read that rumor, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they are very restricted or defederate basically everyone else

343 has never been good at managing a Halo game. Not sure what OP is referring to specifically but 343 has made tons of awful decisions with the franchise. One thing that always bothered me with infinite is from what I remember the game has an enormous amount of tech debt because Microsoft loves to hire temporary contract workers so by the time a new contractor was hired and brought up to speed on the new engine they were developing/had developed, they barely had time to do much before having to be replaced with another contractor, which makes me feel awful for the poor developers hired on these temp contracts.

I have absolutely no intention of using Threads (for obvious reasons: meta data collection), but I’m interested to see if it can push the fediverse into mainstream conversation. I basically only used twitter for sports news so if those reporters end up on Threads and I can follow them from Mastodon I wouldn’t mind. Of course none of that matters if it’s not on ActivityPub like it’s rumored to be, or if they implement any kind of restrictions to users not on their instance, like following users or liking posts.

We kept being told this was coming so I’m not really surprised except maybe for McShay

It’s actually kind of impressive how stupid they have to be that they saw what happened to Ridley and then go out and do the exact same thing lol I’m dying to know who the player was that lost $8M
