Just installed the original flappy bird last week on my A54 and it's working great.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

The original flappy bird doesn't exist in the playstores anymore since 2014. How could you install it?

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Probably found the apk somewhere online.

Ohh i remember. Didnt the dev decide that he wasnt gonna support their users becoming addicted or sth?

Iirc the 2nd place flappy bird world champion killed the 1st place flappy bird world champion because he was mad at him for being better.

I recently decided to jailbreak my ipod touch. The options are so fucking sketch it felt extremely gross. And thats coming from an android user. You know you are in best hands if the jailbreaking software link their mixtape.

Backwards compatibility is a double-edged sword. It's cool that you can run an apk from 10 years ago but there should be a point where you say that's enough and drop support from them. Looking at Windows.

I learned the other day that thats the reason you cannot make a folder named CON on windows. Dates back to pre DOS era.

most of the time? yes.

some apps do actually break with newer android versions though. It's gotten a little better and happened less often after the big step to Android 4 (okay… that is itself more than 10 years ago)

but it can and does still happen sometimes

This just isn't true; Android absolutely has version limits.

[–] Jako301@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

The Google play store has version limits. A sideloaded app will almost always work

Android and iOS are both abysmal.

Yeah Android CAN run the app if you have the APK. But also the play store won't let you if the dev hasn't updated the app in a couple of years. Older games are especially bad.

Everybody used a blackberry once... Being loyal to a brand gets you left behind.
