  • Sony made some significant changes between the PS4 and PS5 controllers. I don't know the details beyond the dynamic resistance triggers, but if you buy a controller board to make your own fightstick, it'll work with everything up through PS4 and then you need an additional daughter-board to make it work with the PS5.

  • I don't really grok products like this.

    If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through a condom, is still perpetuating it. It's maintaining that platform as still important and integral, and a place that others should continue to engage with. It's telling advertisers that it's still a place that's worth their money to maintain a presence on. It stymies the momentum in shifting to an alternative; why put the effort into a new service if people are still seeing your posts?

    It's like pirating Windows instead of moving to a different OS. You're still perpetuating the MS hegemony and telling software developers that Windows is the platform they need to develop for.

  • Seeing a game is Ubisoft makes it a total nonstarter. I refuse to have to have a separate account and be forced to log into it just to play a goddamn game.

  • Can't speak on the rest, but I am so glad skinny jeans are finally going out of fashion. That couldn't happen soon enough.

  • Full agree. Get his product's name as part of the general term and it'd confuse people into thinking it was the original.

  • I've never heard the term "threadiverse". Where are you coming across it?

  • Depends entirely on the person and what things they want out of a social life.

    For me, if I didn't have social media, there's a lot I'd miss out on. It's how two of my main social communities communicate any of their events, and it's a big part of a third. There would definitely be a negative impact for me if I nuked all my accounts.

    You can certainly build your life to have your definition of a thriving social life without it, but you'll have to go out of your way to find those groups that use other methods for communication.

  • I think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:

    • why you want to get away from Fedora
    • what you liked about Fedora that kept you there until now
    • what you hope you'd get from a new distro
    • any nonstarters that would keep you away from a distro

    Without knowing those things, it's just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you're looking for.
