I feel like Mariokart 8 made good use of the gamepad: it could act as a mirror of the TV or it could display non-essential info like a map and what items each player has.

The people editing their images in Blender are the same people who edit their videos in Blender lol.

TIL that Nintendo designed the usb-c port not to be compatible. Fuck them for that.

Steam still needs more competition IMO. If Steam were to disappear tomorrow, the gap left in the PC gaming market would be massive.

The best way to touch Nintendo products is with a soldering iron - to install a modchip.

In 2006 they bundled Wii Sports with the Wii, which seemed to benefit them considering the Wii’s success. Though, the Switch 1 had a the demo “1, 2, Switch” for 60 USD and sold better than the Wii, though culturally, more people probably know about Wii Sports compared to 1, 2, Switch.

It was the eyes that gave it away for me. They look, just, wrong.

Intel is almost flawless, I say as someone who uses an Intel A750. It does have a bug where putting load on the GPU causes a dramatic increase in latency for GPU compute tasks, but that’s mostly only important for VR. Flatscreen games work great.

lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don’t want to use discord.

Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.

Wait, do normie phone, just, instantly open an untrusted website? The camera on LineageOS has a “scan” mode where it shows the data of scanned QR codes before you make an action.

Blind people cannot drive. They exist. Or how about people too young to get a driving permit? Or people who cannot afford to buy, maintain, insure and store a vehicle?

Reducing car dependency increases mobility.

IIRC some self-driving systems even break road laws by not coming to a full stop at stop signs.

This right here is PostmarketOS’ strength. I can use all the same apps I use on my Linux desktop on the phone as well. I also find the way the Gnome ecosystem connects to online accounts like email and calendar to make waaay more sense than Android, where I need dav5x to sync.

I have 1 time where my alarm goes off, but I use 2 physical alarm clocks: My phone and an old 90s digital alarm clock. The phone is mostly just as a backup in case of a power outage or something.

I had My minecraft server scanned by at least 3 different bots, and I even had some friendly guy join my server that apparently found it using a bot he wrote. I’m now using a whitelist lol. One of the account names that scanned my server was "Fifth Column, which is a griefing group.

That seems like a small price to pay to have a dark magician girl decal in people’s faces in bumper to bumper traffic lol.

There’s plenty of good, open source UX in FOSS. Have you seen the Gnome family of apps? They look great and are easy to understand.

This is exactly what I do too. I started half a year ago and have no regrets yet.
