Walmart is testing a Roblox feature that lets players buy physical goods in-game

  • I don't see how something like this would provide a better shopping experience for consumers then just going straight to wallmart.com or amazon.com or any other storefront accessible through a web browser. The only thing different is that its happening on the Roblox client (not a web browser or dedicated app) and you get a virtual item alongside the physical item (not saying the digital accessories are bad but they're definitely not much of a "perk" of purchasing through the Roblox client.)

    • ditch discord!

  • Discord is a good service to engage with communities but what I hate most is when services, platforms and whatnot use Discord as their primary means of official communication like for announcements.

    Having to be in a lot of servers purely to get announcements results in an already limited total sever count that one can join to be even more limited.

    • The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time.

  • Reddit is talking about decentralization and stuff like that like they aren't a centralized platform themselves. Giving control to the community, but remember if we don't like what you're doing with your communities we'll threaten your moderation team!!!

    • It's not just Adobe. Now Logitech wants me to go to a random website in order to add peripherals to my computer, and I'm met with this when I go to the page they tell me to

  • I know Opera is Chromium based but according to statcounter Opera accounts for nearly the same % (actually slightly higher) overall desktop browser market share (Opera 4.48% : Firefox 5.96%)

    Yet support for Opera but not Firefox 🗿

    • Meta Threads engagement has dropped 50% in a week

  • Threads just needs to add more features. It's pretty bare bones right now and has a lot of room for improvements especially comparing it to Twitter. Once they do that I think it will be easier for them to retain users.

    • Official reddit app is #1 news app in the Danish iOS app store

  • It's sitting at 2.8 here in Canada!

    • What android client do you use?

  • I'm using Connect for Lemmy though I am waiting for Sync to release as a Lemmy client. Once that releases I'll probably switch to that.

    • What phone are you using?

  • Phone I'm Using:

    Samsung A50

    Am I Happy with it:

    Yes, it has been fully capable of performing the daily tasks that I throw at it. Only downsides really is that it no longer receives support from Samsung.

    What Phone Did I have Previously:

    My previous phones were a LG Q6 and I believe an iPhone 6 or 7. Honestly as much as I love Android, the iPhone was leaps and bounds better then what the LG Q6 was able to provide. That's mainly more a statement of how bad LG was at making actually interesting phones that were good.

    How often do I upgrade:

    My A50 is a hand-me-down so atm I don't really decide when I get a new phone lol.

    What other Android Ecosystem Devices do I have?

    If it counts, Google Home Mini (have had it for quite a few years)

    Do you have any Apple products and/or Microsoft, Linux, etc...

    No, I don not own any Apple products of any sort. I own an Xbox Series X, a Windows Laptop from Asus, a Google Home Mini along with a Amazon Alexa (well technically that wasn't mines originally I'm just "borrowing" it because it was just left disconnected.) Lastly I have a pair of Jabra Elite 3's which have been pretty good.
