• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strategies and advice for transitioning out of Apple's ecosystem of devices?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  A relative of mine attempted to move from an iphone to an android phone, and generally move to other services on non-apple patforms. Not really self hosted, but I tried to help a bit in that area too, placing them on some of the things I run. The reason was their own, they saw pictures taken by a friend who had a flagship android phone and thought the pictures were amazing in comparison and wanted to try it. They were not even that deeply into the ecosystem, didn’t have watches or anything, just the cloud services.

  Sadly what happened was that apple makes you feel so cozy and content in their UI design that anything even slightly different is really disruptive. It didn’t go well, and the experiment lasted about 6 months and then they were back on an iphone again. I would hear constant complaints and cursing about various UI differences. Touching parts of the screen triggered actions they weren’t expecting, and they couldn’t manage to learn the new workflows. It was sad to watch, and I hope things go better for you. In my opinion Apple is really good at attracting people and slowly convincing them that they don’t have to think for themselves anymore, so then when they try, they no longer feel competent enough to do so.

  Or add EA anti-cheat 6 months after release like they did for EA WRC.

  Apologies if this is a dumb suggestion, I only briefly tested it, but couldn’t you simply run your display at a lower resolution? The deck would perform better and the interface/game scale would match each display correctly.
