I just don't understand where these people get their information. I haven't been able to find any verifiable facts that make statehood a good idea or would save any money.
I pre ordered, and I'm usually annoyingly loud about not pre-ordering.
That being said, i love my pebble time. I Kickstarted it back in the day, and it still works but the battery is weak. I could replace the battery, but i want more devices like this, so I'll put some money in and eat Ramen for a few weeks.
It's been years since I moved from the electrical field, but anytime I'm in a new building I'm still looking at the ceiling to see where and how everything is installed.
I mean, it's complicated yeah, but i would still maintain that DXVK was more of a watershed moment than Steam Deck.
Valve developed SteamOS way back during the first Steam Machine push, 2012-ish.
They moved quick adding DXVK into Proton and releasing it in 2018.
But I think that the core of the recent Linux Gaming story gets lost when people celebrate Valve or the Steam Deck since, like you said, it was a dedicated gamer who first developed DXVK which enabled all of this.
Linux gaming has accelerated in the last few years for sure, but I'm not sold on the premise that the impact belongs to the SD. That being said, I haven't checked the release feature sets against the SD launch so I don't have any hard numbers to back that up.
SD has done a lot to push Linux Gaming into the mainstream, but i don't think the development efforts are a reflection of that, rather that SD was launched in the middle of an accelerated development curve caused by DXVK.
Did it though? I mean some people switched, it sold well, but is there like a huge shift in Linux gaming? I feel like things have been proceeding pretty smoothly since DXVK was released.
I miss small phones.
I use my phone for communication primarily, and the occasional video or something. I swear the keyboards on these things are getting worse and worse at prediction and correcting. I found my old Curve 8320 when moving and just spent some time fondling it, and that really reminded me of the level of control and precision those input methods had.
I know I'm in the minority with how I use my phone, so I know that small batch will always be out of my price range. The last two years I've been using a Samsung flip and it's the happiest I've been with a phone in a long time.
The only problem I'm having with jellyfin is around subtitles, but it's getting better all the time. I bought the plex lifetime license a few years ago, but we've moved our whole house to jellyfin now.
If they were worried about it, they'd stop doing it.
More and more people are going to be doing this and excusing it in an effort to normalize nazi and facist symbolism.
It's not really up to us (non-US) citizens to point this out or act on it, since we have little influence, it's up to the citizens of the USA to do something about it.
That lawyer would do anything for a client.
