I have a gig tomorrow and the Eventim app won't let me access my tickets because my phone isn't stock android.

They're refusing to give me my tickets without using their crappy app, and it doesn't work.

Luckily I have an old IPhone I can use or I'd be £90 out of pocket, but I won't be buying tickets from them again.

I hate this "Play Integrity" crap Google is using to lockdown Android and kill competition.

I'm continuing my Final Fantasy binge after beating IV and IX recently, now moving on to X.

I've completed half the game three times but never finished it! Maybe this time I will thanks to the Steam Deck!

Just finished Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown on Steam Deck - excellent game easily ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I'm looking forward to jumping into the Sands Of Time Trilogy for the first time since I was a kid!

Sands Of Time was a pain to get working on Deck but I think I've finally done all the config, and can finally jump in!

@WeAreFairphone If the reviews for this are good I might pick it up, looks very tempting and a good price.

@sorg@mstdn.games My friend who's a huge persona fan got me this but I still haven't got round to it, how is it on the Deck?

Any idea if it works in offline mode? I usually play on the train

@sorg@mstdn.games Looks beautiful, reminds me of the shire!

@sorg@mstdn.games I have 3 banking apps and all work fine, initial setup made me do a security check after logging in on one, but no other issues. I live in the UK though so mileage may vary.

You can find a list of compatible apps at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

So after debating it for a whole I just flashed Graphene OS onto my phone and it works better than I expected. All my apps work fine which i wasn't expecting. The only issue I had is with GPS due to not wanting to install google service's but I've just put that in a sandboxed user profile and now it works perfectly.

I think there's a lot of misconceptions that custom OS's break a lot of features but I've just realised that isn't true. #grapheneos #graphene #GooglePixel #degoogle

Finally working my way through Wheel Of Time after putting it off for over 10 years! 3 books down and I'm in too deep to stop now...slowly working my way through it one day at a time. Probably going to take me another twelve months but I'm committed!

@dandb By the time I realized how much of a time commitment Malazan would be i was already too far gone haha, at least I know what I'm in for with WOT!

@gianlucafiore As of half way through book one, I don't think it's as grand as Malazan yet, but I'll keep you updated as I progress since I've heard good things!

@rope189 I'm enjoying it so far. It has the sort of adventure feel of Lord Of The Rings but without the long landscape descriptions, and the plot is moving at a good pace.

It's set up a lot of questions and I'm intrigued by the world and setting, and seeing how things play out.

There's some plot seeds planted that we've seen a million times - farm boy to hero etc. But I haven't seen how these play out, so it could subvert my expectations and be tricking me into a false sense of security.

@FantasyForTheAges The climax of that book traumatized me for life 😭 My heart...or legs were not ready

Slowly working my way through Wheel Of Time, half way through the first book! It's a marathon not a sprint so hopefully it's worth the journey, looking forward to finally getting this off my bucket list!

@rope189 @christianselig I'm hoping more subs go dark indefinitely, 48 hours isn't going to do anything. However if everyone goes dark until Reddit backtracks we might get somewhere, I've left the site for Lemmy now anyway & deleted my account.

@rope189 I've just finished The White Rose and am really enjoying it, l can see how it inspired Malazan! The short length makes them great to binge read too

@dismantl Just cryptobros trying to push it. It was never going to take off.
