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.”

For the last X number of years, I’ve listened to people proclaim how Microsoft has changed, they’re not the '90s Microsoft anymore. They make things open source! They’re putting Linux in Windows now instead of trying to murder Linux! They’re not doing Internet Explorer things anymore! You old Slashdot readers are stuck in the past!

'90s Microsoft sends their regards.

Linus criticizing Steve on “proper journalistic practices” shows an incredible lack of self-awareness.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

Isn’t like all of Lemmy already there?

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

Facebook collects all this data, yet Threads still thinks someone like me (who listens to extremely harsh underground music) wants to read posts from J-Lo.

This is funny, because I literally said “good!” when I read the post title. So I’m right there with you.

Use Firefox.

Support Firefox.

Using alternative Chromium based browsers is not it.

Both browsers are equally capable of doing their primary job, which is to download Firefox.

Ugh. I’ve been a Debian (and derivatives) user since the late '90s, and you’re unlocking memories of what chased me away from Red Hat distros back then.

Cheap API access was letting the AI platforms pull Reddit data directly via API. That’s why the “fix” was making API access expensive, so that buying the data from Reddit instead becomes the more cost-effective solution.

Reddit’s not (as) worried about gathering more data to sell, they’re worried about selling the years of data they already have.

Tell me you’ve never worked in tech support without telling me you’ve never worked in tech support.

finally getting close to the original game we were promised

Ehhhhh… the things in that change list are nice, but I’m not sure they’re fundamental enough to get this to the game it was originally presented to be.

That said, it might be enough to where the game would at least be worth my time. But I’m not going to trust this list to be delivered (relatively) bug-free and as good as it sounds until it’s done and proven to be so.

I’ll at least keep tabs on it when it drops, which is a lot more consideration than CP2077 was getting from me yesterday.
