I am not a developer and honestly curious about this. What's Apple's reason for ditching 32 bit programs? Isn't backwards compatibility a net positive for both developers and consumers?

Which one should I play first? in c/[email protected]

Just start from the beginning and get ready. You're in for one hell of a ride. One of the best gaming experiences out there for sure.

I haven't been really active on Beehaw for a while now. Where can I read more about Beehaw leaving Lemmy?

You shouldn’t have to rely on the words of Internet random though, go try one out.

That's true and I have done that a few times. However they weren't so informative since I was only able to try some recent Android phones at stores so they weren't used. My close friends and family either have iPhones or midrange/budget Android phones. So I thought my next best bet is to ask others online.

Forgive me for asking if it was obvious in your comment but, when you said

in iOS the UI thread is split from the rest of the compute, and runs at elevated priority if i recall correctly. this used to not be the same case for android

did you mean that now Android does the same?

I haven't used an Android device since my last one, the Galaxy S8. Beautiful hardware, beautiful design, but it was plagued with animation stutters and dropped frames. I switched to an iPhone and an iPad around 6 years ago. And the animations were buttersmooth. It was almost unthinkable to achieve such a fluid interface on any Android phone I had ever used, flagship or otherwise.

Now I am curious about how it is now. Especially after a 2-3 years of use. Does your phone or tablet stutter when you scroll, open an app, switch to another app, start multitasking etc etc? One thing I especially remember was opening certain apps like big games or Office apps. When I'd tap on the app's icon, there would be a half a second delay. But in that infinitesimally short period of time I would question whether the phone registered the touch or not. I would then reach with my finger again but the app would launch right before my second tap. That was constant and infuriating. Does that sort of stuff still happen on Android?

Thanks (:
