No there isn’t

There hasn’t been a viable alternative to YouTube since the day it was released, and that’s no different today. No platform can handle to volume of data that google does. Google can barely handle that data and they own the datacenters.

That’s how twitch does it.

It’s been very effective at making me watch less twitch, but it does serve the ads no matter the adblocker now

Me either, but say one thing bad about Linux or that it’s still not a fully functional gaming OS you get 12 comments saying “but have you tried this distro?”

Would you like to suck his dick any more?

It is dumb luck. Once you have that much money you fail upwards. It doesn’t matter if 20 other projects fail if one makes billions.

If you didn’t invent it you didn’t have anything to do with it. If you funded it you still didn’t have anything to do with it, you just enabled someone else to do it.

Yep, scroll speed is always wrong on a regular mouse from my experience.

Can’t blame you for not liking it, they really do somewhat punish you for using accessories outside their ecosystem.

It’s good at what it does, it certainly isn’t perfect. I have a mix of all 3 major OS’s running at most times and don’t really hold any loyalty to any one of them besides what’s easiest to do a current task with.

Battery life is crazy good. Nothing windows based can even get close right now.

The trackpad is a step above anything else on the market.

I rarely use keyboard shortcuts. There’s never been a need for them imo. I don’t like using shortcuts on my windows machines either, preferring the mouse. The few shortcuts I do use are from the trackpad, which are a few fairly intuitive gestures.

The fact that mainstream software runs on them is a massive draw as well. Final Cut, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc all won’t run on any Linux distro.

If you don’t use any laptop often, it’s probably not going to be worth it. But if you need a high performance laptop they’re pretty much the best option outside of price

He successfully bought his way into those industries. His most successful companies were not started by him, and tend to flourish once he’s gone.

Once you have enough money it’s pretty much impossible to do anything but fail upwards

It never was. I canceled after the end of Game of Thrones and never saw a point in paying their extremely high prices. Just like my house never had HBO growing up, I saw no need to get it now

Lemmy search is hilariously bad. Discoverability is entirely shit here. It’s by sheer luck you find half of the communities

Until all the major anticheats can run on it I can’t consider it a functional gaming OS. If there are games that work on every other major gaming platform, except for Linux, then it’s not up to the same standard

I use my phone camera for supplemental video to my photography, so unfortunately I do kinda need the nice new cameras they’re putting on them. I have a 14 pro max right now and tbh I wouldn’t give up the screen space.

I actually quite like infused drinks. They make for an interesting flavor and the high tends to be really nice

I don’t like only browsing subscribed communities because otherwise I never see anything outside of a bubble. Also subscribing to big communities means I miss anything important in the small ones.

One of the biggest failings of the fediverse in my opinion is the complete lack of any kind of decent algorithm. People rallied so hard against them that we now have the opposite problem, discoverability is next to 0 on this platform. I love an algorithm that actually works and recommends what I want to see.

Now I get that it’s unpopular with the current user base, but I’m going to guess it’ll be a problem sooner or later when new users decide to go elsewhere because of algorithms.

I guarantee musk isn’t going to be healing paraplegics with this. That research is being done by medical professionals who haven’t killed all their test subjects.

This is being done to make as much money as possible at the expense of as many lives need to be sacrificed to get there.

My guy, you’re the one here trying to shove Linux down my throat on a completely unrelated comment. Sounds more like you’re projecting your problems on me.

Linux is not going to be the future. It’s great for a server os, but it’s still not a viable desktop os for the majority of user. Extreme power users love it because of the customization power, and users who only ever browse the web won’t notice a difference, but everyone in-between doesn’t. Not everyone is a power user, and not everyone wants to be a power user.

3D Touch. I used it all the time

Physical Home Buttons - my iPad still has one and I love it compared to the swipe up gesture

I do, but I don’t post about them. I don’t like making posts and try to avoid doing so at all costs.

Other gaming pretty much has nothing in common with Simracing. It doesn’t use any of the same hardware, tends to take a lot of money to get started in and isn’t something for casual players.

I don’t like generic communities overall. I find them boring and tending to lack in creativity. The reason I liked Reddit so much was I didn’t need to interact with other subjects, I could find my niche and stay there without needing to deal with other gaming groups.

Or you can stop trying to force it onto people. Idgaf about your passion. I don’t want to hear about you being vegan and I really don’t care if you only use Linux.

It’s putting people off of joining the platform. I think that’s clear enough that it’s a problem

Ok, and?

I’m not interested in using Linux as a desktop OS. I’ve often made that clear, only to be met with “but have you tried this?”

It does the exact same thing as it does for vegans. Instead of bringing people to your cause you alienate them by constantly shoving it in their face.

My guy, you are literally proving my point. I mention one negative thing about Linux and here you are, attacking me for it
