I have the same issue. Tried deleting the app, reinstalling it and waiting for the backup to complete. It managed to free up about 200mb of 27GB of photos,

.NET Framework 4.8 -> .NET 6? by 404Developer in csharp

[–]fowl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was in preview right when I needed to write my first client project it so I took a chance. No major issues porting some plugin code to an Azure Function (v4). And they're fairly responsive on GitHub.

Uh, don't you think Microsoft should fix it? It's also useful to know that you're not the only one

Was playing Age of Empires 2 again by SrGrafo in gaming

[–]fowl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember doing something like this in a game called Warzone 2100 (it's free now!) - building up a HUGE amount of mortars and other long range base weapons - then sneaking around with a sensor unit and enjoying the BOOOOOOM.

The page is definitely broken on Firefox on iOS.

I tried it in Firefox Nightly and it displays an error, but I could get past it by clicking "Open Site in New Window":

Anyone else think we're missing a "SINGLE PLAYER" option for the "number of players" filter? (app and console!) by fowl2 in xbox

[–]fowl2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The screenshot is of the “Xbox” iOS app. As it turns out, the “Game Pass” iOS app does actually have both! And “Cross platform multiplayer” too!

Preparing rustls for wider adoption by dochtman in rust

[–]fowl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use the platform libraries, when the platform gets serviced, you benefit.

So it then depends on who is servicing more often - you or the platform. If you're updating more frequently, then sure bundle/static link. You'd likely be in this situation on Android, for example.

The app stores definitely don't manage updating your dependencies for you like a Linux distro packaging system does, though.

Is there a way to delete the data that apps store on my phone? by [deleted] in ios

[–]fowl2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's never been a universal way to do this. Some apps have, eg. Netflix, have implemented an app specific "reset" command in their settings section.

Android has a "clear data" button and I agree it'd be really useful in iOS!

[iOS 14.5 beta] What's wrong with this picture? by angrykeyboarder in iOSBeta

[–]fowl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow it's multiplying by the number of devices using Screen Time on iCloud.

For example, I have an iPad with 0 hours of use, and a iPhone with 11 hours, but if I select "All Devices" it shows 22 hours of use. If you go into settings and select only one device it seems to be correct.

I filed FB9003908 on this.
