600 dollars

this is a joke, right?

no I’m not going to do a full reset when everything works already. lol. ive been living with it and its fine.

the phone thing is neat but is a gimmick I can live without, to be honest. and looking at a reply or two, I’m not the only one who had jankyness trying it.

but thank you <3

exact same experience. it doesn’t work well, unfortunately.

i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.

the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.

ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn’t work flawlessly.

the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.

especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.

I’m so sick of online publications being the sketchiest places imaginable. it makes me skip articles that might otherwise interest me.

an appropriate place to shit talk and troll. was clarification needed?

kids must be terribly bored these days. someone ought to bring forums back so they have a playground to play in and troll each other on.

daww thats a shame.

complimentary shaders is what you want. they are lovely and they even come with potato PC options.

they also do reimagined (which is like normal minecraft but better) and they do Unbound which is updated water animations and smoother sky textures, etc.

they run great. i run them on my steam deck and they look beautiful.

this is sad =(. but I get it.

i think we are talking about two entirely different things. you’re talking about generalized stuff and I’m talking about a specific person’s feed.

I’m not talking politics or other stuff. literally just talking a personalized feed. just for entertainment.

golly. not every single thing has to lead to the end of the world, man.

chill with the “propaganda and disinformation”. I’m talking cats and anime and video games.

there are tweaks that can be made. also I’m talking about an individual’s personal feed

if I open tiktok right now, my feed will differ from yours. because it’s personalized. reddit is a bad example because its not personalized.

if you’re seeing far right videos on your feed its because you’re engaging with that content. you’re feeding the algorithm.

don’t engage with that garbage and you won’t see it.

manipulated by whom? if it can be manipulated so that you get to see the content you like, I say thats fine.

if you mean manipulated by 3rd parties to sell ads, then that’s bad.

this isn’t a black and white thing. it can exist without being data to sell for ads. what matters is if the one hosting the videos is willing to sell that data.

if its kept to just your own personal usage data to make your experience a better one, that’s not a terrible thing.

tags are one way for sure. but then its difficult to find new stuff that might fit your interests that you don’t have tags for.

what does control over what they want to watch look like without an algorithm?

an algorithm doesn’t have to be a negative thing.

agreed. there is a way to keep that algorithm private. on a person to person case.

that information would just have to not be sold. thats the difference.

an algorithm wouldn’t be inherently evil. the data collected is what’s potentially dangerous. but if its kept to just your personal account, it could be quite safe

and make the app less of a chore to use.

i mean… a lot of the content on the fediverse is literally just lifted straight from the other “junk food” social media websites that were just named.

its just a federated experience. not a “healthy” one. I’m all for moving more people over to the fediverse but let’s maybe take it down a couple notches with the weird propaganda-esque ads?

it quite annoys me as well. “No annoying algorithms!”

…great. so it will never learn what content I actually like to see and will feed me random crap I don’t want to see.

i get like the same 5 videos of someone walking around outside and a couple of ads for stuff I’m not even remotely interested in.

oh my word. i love you. thank you so very very much 🙏

edit: duuuuude! everything runs perfectly! double thank you! this is great.

i meant the all-in-one nature of it. ive used retroarch but honestly that ui is an exercise in patience.

i was wondering if there was an android version of that software, but I did some searching and came up short.
