I’ve been playing it a lot more since I got the OLED. It turns out that I disliked the LCD on the original Deck more than I realized. And not just the difference from OLED itself, but the screen size and 90hz refresh also. Those chunky bezels really did suck, and now the screen feels more like it “fits” the device size.

The larger battery capacity has sure helped too.

Capitalism: “No.”

How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?

Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.

Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.

Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.

The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.

It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.

YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

It’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.

I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

Apple Maps + CarPlay is so much better than Google Maps + Android Auto that the latter is embarrassing.

I say this as someone that has owned Android phones since the very beginning (HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1).

Game devs: “No thanks, we’re waiving the fees by using a different engine.”

And even if some prototype device is, that doesn’t mean the production device will be, once things like heat and power usage have to really be accounted for.

People tend to overrate the harms from potential changes, while simultaneously vastly underrating the harms that already exist that they’ve gotten used to.

Someone played on the hardest difficulty (along with enabling the option to “pistol start” every level), and left a Steam review complaining that the expansion is too hard. That got a developer response.

I think Heretic crossed with Unreal is an accurate comparison.

Enemies may have been more plentiful than in Unreal, but movement is much closer to Unreal than Heretic’s DOOM engine movement. And it’s much closer to Unreal than anything in the Quake lineage.

Also, the weapon arsenal’s style is very Heretic, but the weapon behavior is very Unreal.

Same with the levels, honestly. Style is Heretic, but the level design itself reminded me of Unreal pretty frequently. (And nothing like the puzzle-heavy, hub-based Hexen)

Linus criticizing Steve on “proper journalistic practices” shows an incredible lack of self-awareness.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

“Own” your community, but if you blackout or post John Oliver, we’ll take it away from you.

Isn’t like all of Lemmy already there?

When a Steam Deck feels heavy, it’s time to start exercising.

Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.

There doesn’t need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn’t used to be so damn consolidated.

I don’t give one shit about “Lemmy vs. Reddit”. I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.

I can hardly think of a better example of “the lady doth protest too much” than the responses that would get fired back at Anita. Completely unable to mask just how close to home the criticism hit them.
