AI: “This is definitely a fake review because I wrote it.”

Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

You’re correct, the other commenter missed the “2 computers” part of your comment.

You can run multiple Steam games at the same time on the same PC, but not on different PCs.

That is, unless you take advantage of Steam’s “offline” mode. If you launch Steam in offline mode on the secondary computer, you’ll be able to play already-downloaded Steam games on that PC, while still being free to play Steam games normally on the primary computer.

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.

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.”

But, we do need to consider the roads we pave and the tools we use

This is the part that every “lol just turn off the crypto crap, no problem!” responses don’t understand. There are short-term issues, and there are long-term issues. Disabling undesired stuff fixes the short-term issue. Letting Brave build up their market share, at the expense of user-first options, creates long-term problems.

Debian: “I’m a Docker container”

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.

Never left. Never would leave. Chrome was always a trap.

Isn’t like all of Lemmy already there?

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

My man’s out here binary search tree-ing his plugins, lol.
