The point is; he wants a Framework-like approach to modularity and feature set. That means a phone that’s good enough to actually holds its own without retreating to being “ethical” or “modular.”

Fairphone is just the worst deal you can get even if you consider the ethical side of it. This is because rescuing an old phone gives you a much better experience for less than half the cost and keeping tech from the landfill is a lot more ecologically friendly as the work and sourcing was already done regardless of you purchasing the device.

… that none of which ended up in the court let alone confirmed. That’s an allegation, not something proven.

They’ve been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.

Straight up one of the points GN made. Which they really did improve upon. They don’t pump out as much content now, as well as generally higher quality content again.

salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour

:D

coming out the other side a multimillionaire.

Guy created and ran a YouTube channel, expanded it to be a media company. Hosts a forum, sells high quality merchandise (you can look up the coverage of their bag or screwdrivers from places like project farm). Also runs a premium video hosting and live streaming service for creators. That’s what we call “earned it.”

This comment just reeks of toxicity, rather than criticism.

This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

It’s a thing in the Linux world and it’s just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don’t support it.

Yes. KDE is in fact much lighter and faster than GNOME. Apart from lower RAM usage, it taxes your CPU and GPU less.

Go play Half Life Alyx, a “real” game on Source 2.

I wonder if it has a native Vulkan renderer now or it just has DXVK baked in. If the latter, bad news is it halves my framerate İN CS2LT on Windows.

Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.

Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).

I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.

What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?

I tend to disagree. I’m trying to integrate Blender to my work flow and I find very difficult to do so. Simply because 95% of it is accessed through arbitrary button combinations and has no GUI counterpart. This in turn makes the learning curve a cliff, which I really don’t consider a pleasant experience.

Also you can’t track viewport with a camera easily. Something that literally every other 3D app I’ve ever used allows you to do.

Best solution: Stop using Chrome.

It’s not the fastest nor the most feature rich anymore, not even the simplest.

I find it naive to think GNOME would suddenly start caring about compatibility as moving to a standard doesn’t guarantee such.

Still, the seamlessness should be there, I don’t care how they mask it, but it should be there somewhat, again, this is 2023. It doesn’t even do simple fade to blacks, but full blown loading screens everywhere.

Also, travelling with the ship mechanic is incredibly, frustratingly cumbersome. For example, let’s say you wanted to jump to Sol for the first time, in Starfield, you’d do:

• Select and mark your destination through map screen.

• Somehow exit the map screen (either mash B or hold B and tap B again to exit the menu, cumbersome)

• Highlight your weapons with the D-Pad and mash down button.

• Highlight GRAV and mash the up button.

• Enjoy game stripping controls away from you.

• Go back into map screen to mark surface spot you want to go to.

• Hold X.

• Voilà, you’re there, insantly.

Why have an entire space mechanic, if you’re just gonna make it frustrating to interact with? Game is okay with teleporting you around at times, but not others as well. It literally disrespects your time, but not in a good way. Speaking of a game that disrespects your time well, it’s Elite, which the flow of events would be:

• Open Galaxy Map with Y+Left D-Pad and select a destination.

• Exit with tapping B, once.

• Align your ship with the destination and throttle up.

• Tap Y to initiate jump.

• Enjoy being able to look around or (albeit barely) interact with your screens.

• Open System Map with Y+Right D-Pad and select your destination.

• Align the ship with destination.

• Open Navigation Panel via X+Left D-Pad, select your target and enable Supercruise Assist.

• Enjoy ship taking you there, feel free to interact with panels, photo mode, chat, etc.

Sure, it’s a lot more complicated as it is a sim, but see that you don’t really do redundant actions and you’re in control most of the time. Also, no loading screens as the jumping effect will mask the system change, and the “dropping from Supercruise” screen will mask the second loading screen. Funnily enough, you’ll wait more but feel like it took less.

I don’t want Starfield to be be Elite or Star Citizen, but it doesn’t even have the rudimentary systems in place. For example, I thought you were able to fly anywhere with your ship in the atmosphere and outside it. Just not seamlessly transition between those. That’d be “possible” to have as the game already does this technically. It just isn’t there for whatever reason.

Also this basically breaks exploration as the wast majority of travelling you’ll do is via the menus and loading screens due to the exact same issues. I remind you this game was marketed as an exploration game with 1000 and whatnot.

This is also the case for game play as well. There are just way too many loading screens. Especially weird when they already have airlocks which would mask vast majority of those perfectly.

Yup Play attestation is dead, even the new and shiny “secure” one is bypassed. It’s now just a hinderence.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

Oh, interesting. Nice to know that, thank you!

Yup, just saw it, thanks!

Niagara costs like six bucks to buy?

Turkish Lira

It’s ₺3290 which is $122 in Türkiye.

Have you considered people are mad because:

• Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.

• Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.

• Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn’t help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.

• Having a subscription for features that don’t cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.

• The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.

• Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.

Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync’s UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don’t see myself recommending Sync to friends.
