Turning my partners desktop into a nas but need some kind of desktop environment replacement. Feel like this could be a good option

Basically I would prefer not to buy a pixel, but if graphene is that much better than the other OS’s I would consider it

Approaching the point where I need a new phone. Curious what would be better. A fairphone 6 with calyx or /e/ os. Or a new pixel with graphene. I’ve heard graphene is the best but the fairphone is very tempting

I use this and love it

This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever read

Bluesky ain’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination… But I’m happy there are more alternatives. Despite some weirdness with moderation I have enjoyed my time in Bluesky so far. And the fact that more apps can be made on the AT protocol definitely makes it seem more legitimate in my eyes. Cool project imo

I don’t think blueskys that bad. At least not yet. I’d prefer a fully featured federated thing but the fact is mastodon just doesn’t appeal to most people.

Blueskys moderation capabilities at least are quite nice atm

Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don’t have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her

I’ve had issues with image upload as well. There’s a size limit but also an absolute pixel limit as well. So cropping the image may work

That’s true, and fair. I am optimistic though since from what I understand Arkane didn’t want to develop a multiplayer game. Sounds like this has been something remedy wanted to do

Yeah I’m realizing I didn’t word that super well. Yes sync is a thing and they know that, but they don’t want to have to use Firefox on mobile because they think it’s slow

That’s super fair and I agree for the most part. Though it’s hard to be super enthusiastic about it when they focus on a plethora of super limited edition color ways for the pocket instead of keeping the base one in stock and completely abandoning DAC support which they promised a while ago (and recently scrubbed all mention of on their site)

Yes that would actually be very helpful! I’ve had trouble doing that on the android version, and I have heard that can help show what exactly is causing the issue. I have heard some settings on ublock can cause this (which I have tried tinkering with)

I think they know about the cross device syncing but yeah think it’s too slow. Idk how long it’s been since they used it.

There is an issue I’ve had with Firefox on Android that I’ve tried to fix but haven’t been able to, where the first time I load a website in like… An hour or 2, it takes a long time to load. After that everything is pretty quick but the first load after the app has been suspended (is my guess) is slow

The problem is they apparently really value having cross device syncing between desktop and phone, and dislike Firefox on mobile a bit due to speed. Idk I mean yeah I think chromium browsers on android are technically faster (seems to me at least) but with no ads it’s way better

Hoping this could maybe help convince my friends who are just looking for a chromium alternative and won’t even consider firefox

I have a love hate with analogue. They undoubtedly make really excellent products, and I absolutely adore my pocket. However they really lean into the fomo of their stuff. They make very few units, and you have to be ready to go when they drop more product most of the time. I will say though the price of this is a lot lower than I expected. And while you shouldn’t count on it, every analogue system has gotten some form of ability to play roms from other systems (whether it’s built into the OS (not happening for the 3D) or a “jailbreak” is released by basically an employee of analogue).

Analogue stuff is good if you have cartridges you want to play, but at this point, with the recent release of Taki Udon’s cheap Mister Pi (https://retroremake.co/pages/store), I think Mister is the way to go. It’s an open source project as opposed to analogue’s implementation. The issue with Mister was you needed a pretty expensive DE10 Nano board to utilize it. Now you can get one of these new boards for only $100 (if you can get your hands on them. Only 2 batches have been sold so far and they sell out quick). Plus Taki is planning on using this new board to make a handheld Mister which I’m super stoked for.

Hell yeah good for them

Earthbound / mother 2 is also 5 stars for me and can definitely be played before hand. There is overlap in the antagonist and references but otherwise mother 3 takes place an incomprehensible amount of time in the future. I didn’t include earthbound since its a tiny bit more backtracky and explory but tbh it’s about as linear as m&l superstar saga so I’d def recommend it if you want to play!
