  • Also, we know Microsoft will eventually do something to mess this all up.

    Even if they change absolutely nothing, Windows on a handheld is an infuriating experience, which is saying a lot, because the desktop version isn't very good either.

  • I'm incredibly sad for both the fact that you believe that in any way you had a funny "punchline" or "joke" in there, and for the lack of general snake facts posted here

  • There's no need to be such an ass when it's a super valid question about compared anatomy. And indeed, that user is correct: "what diaphragm?" snakes do not have one, they rely on large smooth muscle between the ribs.

  • Police are not the brightest in any society.

    It's a literal job requirement. If you're smart, you're not going to blindly follow orders. Police cognitive testing literally discards candidates that perform well in intellectual tasks. This is not a conspiracy or a joke, it's how police works.

  • I played God of War, out of spite, precisely when people were making this absurd claim and it had zero issues without Cryoutilities.

    Increasing swap wouldn't fix a crash related to a memory leak, unless you had no swap to begin with, which was never the case for SteamOS.

  • Because x86_64 and most BIOSes suck ass

  • The Steam Deck community is super weird about that.

    They ferociously defended, for two years, a person who developed a GUI placebo. A Valve developer confirmed it did nothing. Tests showed it did nothing. But you'd be downvoted and even banned for pointing that out.

    Then the same person popularized another placebo - again with AMD documentation proving it didn't work - and once again people loved it.

    Decky plugins follow the same logic. Random Reddit users bodging together some abomination of code to claim those sweet upvotes. One very popular plugin, "Is There Any Deal" causes such a massive constant CPU spike you lose 10 FPS on many games.

    Its nuts. And Decky breaks itself every other update anyway, for months people blamed Valve for sleep issues that surprise surprise were actually Decky failing to wake up gracefully and taking the entire UI hostage with it.

  • I passionately hate MTP and having to deal with a MTP device is a great way of ruining my day

  • Reddit/Lemmy don't have to be a monolith to have a clearly defined and easily seen accepted narrative.

    Posts and comments that considered frame generation viable when Nvidia was the only one with the technology were massively downvoted and got absurd replies, universally. Even more so here on Lemmy.

    Now the Steam Deck subreddit is dominated by posts about Lossless Scaling and users claiming they can't see any artifacts or latency at all. When AMD introduced their, quite objectively inferior, implementation of frame generation Lemmy immediately shifted tone. I can go to any random thread and say "I think FSR frame generation is great!" and nobody bats an eye. A shift in overall tone is quite easy to see and measure, regardless if the website is not written by a single individual.

  • There are proof of concept demos of running custom code on it, but that's always true on any console, especially those with browsers. There's no current method for truly running software using all hardware resources, nor bypassing the signature checks to pirate games.

    It will certainly happen though.

  • And those are the limitations created by the fact that email was never meant to be truly secure, not in the way we define and expect security and privacy nowadays at least.

  • Galaxy S23, sold many units and isn't a last gen device

  • Any compliant commercial service will share user data with authorities - you don't get to operate a company and skip local laws. That's a non argument.

    What's important is what "user details" they had on hand to share. If I create my service in such a way that I have zero data about you except some random useless string, I can "hand over all user data" to authorities and it would mean absolutely nothing for your privacy.

  • I totally understand why, but I dislike this trend of recommending Mint to newcomers. Cinnamon is very limited.

  • So what? I never said anything about multi frame generation.

    I'm talking about reception at launch on Reddit and Lemmy. This entire image is completely irrelevant to the point being made.

  • No, they're still all awful

    I don't disagree, but that's not my point at all

  • I was migrating from Google Photos to Ente a few days ago, and I needed to upgrade the storage specifically for the gigantic amount of cat photos I have. Some are taken in quick succession so they look almost identical. I will NOT be deleting them.

  • The feature was released with the 4000 series, not 5000.

  • I'm commenting on the contrast of attitude towards the feature when its made by Nvidia versus Lemmy's beloved AMD, not really on whether the feature is actually useful.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What are some blogs you still read?
