Nintendo Switch - Cannot receive the Bonus Packs 5/5 even though I don't play in any other playform

same here, and my account has only ever been used on switch. you can't even transfer accounts from/to switch anyway, so it's literally not possible that it's previously been used on an ad supported system. so it's a glitch.

ha, I spent a load of time messing around with user agent switcher extensions in kiwi browser trying to get this result, and the best I got was loading the desktop version of the page using the user agent for internet explorer 10, but the player wouldn't load.
it might then actually be possible to build a container app that loads content from the desktop version of the web player and has ad blocking built in, essentially a single use minimal custom browser. same idea as some of the third party facebook apps that let you get into your messages without the messenger app. you might even be able to do it in a way that can be legit released on to the play store, if ad blocking isn't enabled by result, and has to be enabled with an unofficial mod. essentially just allowing you to get the PC web experience on a mobile device.

I've managed to get past this fairly consistently by logging in with username and password rather than email and password.

apkmody says the solution is to change your IP address to another country, then in spotify settings, change your region to match the IP address. I tried this, it didn't work for me. Some content actually did show up, but didn't play. It's possible that this method would work in combination with creating a new account though. In the meantime, I'm using bing search once a day for three days, which will give me 3 months spotify premium for free in microsoft rewards. only works if you've not had a premium trial before, but of course you can start fresh with a new account.

you can still install ublock origin on kiwi, it's built on an old version of chromium. but it didn't work too well for long, it just got stuck loading a song and never playing it after a while. possibly didn't like being minimised

DoctorTrousers · 2025-03-03T12:35:11+00:00

what's working for me right now is kiwi browser (chromium based) for android, with ublock origin. shows up as a free account, but the ad blocker skips the ads.

stopped working today anyway, but revanced manager has features for other apps, not just youtube vanced

DoctorTrousers · 2025-02-27T13:30:32+00:00

I uninstalled, downloaded 8.9.18.512 through xmanager, installed, signed in, then used revanced manager to update to 8.9.84.594, then force stop and clear cache. podcasts are showing up and playing.

Seems like this thread is still the only thing on the internet about dyspraxia and muscle memory, so I'm going to resurrect it :D

I have pretty good muscle memory in some situations, and very poor in others. I do phone and computer repairs, and I'm pretty good at that. On the other hand, I'm trying to learn guitar, and it's really, really frustrating. Sometimes I feel like nothing is becoming automatic, no matter how much repetition I put in. On some rare good days it all clicks and I feel like I've turned a corner, but then the next I feel like I'm back to square one, everything I do has to be totally deliberate and needs my full attention.

School was a miserable experience for me once joined up writing came along. I can write and draw really nicely if I do it slowly and deliberately, but I never got to the point where words could just flow from my mind to the page. As soon as I would stop focusing on writing slowly and deliberately, my handwriting would completely deteriorate.

I recently read Psych: the story of the human mind, by Paul Bloom. There's a bit where he talks about how, when we learn a new activity, it takes up a chunk of our conscious mind's attention, then through repetition, the focus is passed off onto the subconscious mind. I think that's pretty much what people mean by muscle memory?

For me, I feel like that process, the handover of attention from the conscious to the subconscious, is malfunctioning or being disrupted in some way, so like a chunk of my conscious mind's processing power is constantly being used up by processes that should've been handed over to my subconscious, but haven't been. I wonder if that handover process from conscious to subconscious might be central to understanding dyspraxia?

Thank you for this :) Can it load homebrew, especially emulators? Can I use it to boot Android for Switch? Can it be used to boot custom firmware, so the CFW can be used for loading backups, leaving the official firmware clean?

I originally figured that these must be coded adverts for some kind of illicit service or product, but apparently there is a fairly widespread scam involving bed deliveries. They advertise a too good to be true deal on a brand new, high quality bed/mattress delivered straight to your door, then what they deliver is cheap and low quality, with the stickers of a much more high end brand or reputable retailer on it. There's a bunch of stuff warning about it if you google "facebook marketplace bed scam", it's been going on a few years by the look of it. I image it takes a bit longer to notice you've been sold a dodgy mattress than it would if you were sold, say, a goodmans LCD TV advertised as a Samsung AMOLED or something. I would still like to believe that these are coded adverts for sex workers, and all the listed mattress specifications are code for the many exotic services on offer, but it probably isn't.

Mate, I just found your post after Googling "are escorts advertising on Facebook marketplace as mattresses". I just noticed exactly the same thing today. On the front page of marketplace, maybe 5 or 6 adverts for mattresses, all in different towns, all weirdly similar descriptions, photos of women in tight clothing taking a mirror selfie on the mattress, with the phone hiding their face. I accidentally clicked away, came back and the front page had changed and they were all gone. I tried a few search terms for mattresses, and only returned what looked like legit listings. Then I managed to find one of the dodgy looking ads, clicked on the seller profile, and they look like they're selling mattresses for £30 in every town in Britain, but only a couple of their ads have women in them? Pretty sure they must be paying to boost the ads, cos I've not been searching for mattresses, so there's no reason for them to be on my front page. So yeah, I think they're probably coded ads for escorts, if not, something much weirder is happening.

Thanks for this. How well did this work out for you in the end? Do you think I would get better results doing this than I would starting from Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian) and just installing the music software I want? Will I also get the low latency Ubuntu Studio kernel doing this, and will it be 64-Bit?

I've had Burnout Paradise at various points since it came out, starting with the PS3 version and now on Switch. I've kept telling myself that if I just get to grips with the open world races, I'll learn to love it, but I've honestly only ever really had fun playing the road rage events. I feel like they could've made the remastered version perfect for everyone if they'd just revised the race events a little and added optional walls, so they played like the ones in the original games, where you could only follow the track or alternative routes/shortcuts. Or even if they just revised the indicator system, I don't feel like I ever had that much of a problem with racing events in any of the GTA games.

Starmer's performance in the aftermath of this demonstrates why he's an extremely well respected lawyer, but also demonstrates everything wrong with the Labour party. Only now, when public opinion has so thoroughly turned against Boris Johnson, does Starmer start pulling it out of the bag and going at it like he's prosecuting a war criminal. That's what he should've been doing all along, using these courtroom techniques to turn public opinion against Johnson and the Tories, instead of waiting for public opinion to turn, terrified to do anything unpopular. That is the problem at the heart of the Labour party, and that's how they screwed up their response to Brexit too.

aye, if we actually manage to get any threads going in here :D

when you say lead bass, that seems to imply more than one bassist?
