It is going to be harder and harder in a few years. They already worsened the keyboard and made trackpoint buttons flat like dell ones so we'll all eventually switch back to trackpads or mouses I guess. Too nieche product honestly so I get it but kinda sad :(

The second problem is absence of regional prices in other markets but Steam.

They are selling games two (!!) or so times cheaper in RU region. For example, AAA game might cost 60 dollars or 6000 rub in US but it will costs 35 or 3500 rub in russian steam.

Even though I couldn't afford games in the past and pirated them - at some point I started buying stuff just because it gives much better, hustle -free experience.

This is way too expensive for a drink. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

These became too expensive in my country too. Only buy it occasionally now once in 3 months. Prob they're doing a favor to my health :)

Why would you be so sure it's not intentional?

In my country insurances won't let you buy one that is necessary-to-drive by adding such "bugs" and impossible captchas for newbie drivers and motorcyclists. Works like a charm in a court - they just say it was a bug

The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications. in c/android@lemdro.id

I would too but gotta get these "good morning" and "celebrate the day of lightly salted cucumbers" pictures/post cards from my grandparents somehow haha

Good point about dynamic channels (even though it sounds bad if you consider the notification channel's purpose) but not true in that particular case: I've talked to a bunch of people using Viber and it still has only one active "call" channel

Probably bad coding - should create notification channel when there's no existing one atm somehow. Probably disabling notification channel also triggers recreation

Only to find out that it creates new channel each time the old one is unavailable.

Yes, Viber?! F it - I disabled calls channel so I don't receive scam calls in it - why would it recreate it?
