It's not actually clunky in behaviour - it works the same. It just has an inconsistent look and feel with the rest of the platform that made it feel a bit less nice.
Oculus Rift. Would love a VR headset and the Rift is at a great cost point for it's level of function. No way that I'm locking myself to Facebook with a piece of hardware though.
That is most of what "installing" it does. I've installed it using Firefox Android and the main difference is that in the task switcher it's its own tasks rather than just being a tab in the browser.
Much prefer the Android look (I'm on Android). If you'd asked me before making the change I wouldn't have said I cared but I now realise that before it had a slight feeling of "clunkiness" because it didn't quite fit with the platform. It does now!
When it's out of beta are you going to select Android mode by default for Android clients?
I'm on Android and I didn't realise there was a swipe to go back gesture. I've just been using the normal Android "swipe from the right" gesture that does Back.
There's different levels of playing to win though. I play a lot of R6 Siege. In the evenings I mostly play casual with my friends. I'm either using the random button to pick my operator for variety, or I'm playing all shotguns for a battle pass challenge or I'm trying to find ridiculous places to put a frost mat.
Within that structure I'm trying to win the rounds, but it doesn't matter if we lose. I'm just having fun in a game with my friends.
Do you have a citation for this? It conflicts with what I know about GDPR.
Mostly GDPR encourages companies to delete personal data they were holding once they no longer have a legitimate use for it. There is a rule where you can demand your data be frozen if so that misuse cam be investigated and in that case you'd be right. But in general companies can and should delete personal data.
I think we lose sight of why "powermods" gained power: they built the big successful communities. Reddit was largely successful due to some fantastic communities being built up, and that takes work. We need that work on Lemmy just as much as we needed it on Reddit.
Yeah, it's not ideal if a small number of people control a large number of communities but we should understand why they got there, and I think the structure of Lemmy is likely to make it a bit less prevalent.
This is great news! I was debating getting Battlebit and even though I was planning on mostly playing on my PC this put me off, out of principle. But now Deck compatibility too is great.
The Steam Deck shines as a handheld because you only have middling graphics power but it's only trying to drive a small screen (small in both size and pixels). If you plug it into a TV then that tradeoff stops working and it's going to look worse than any console (except the Switch).
I do use my Deck on the TV and it isn't as bad as I was expecting, but I've got a PC as well for demanding games.
It basically a badge for a more premium film experience. It's a bigger screen, on an aspect ratio that fills the vision, with seating that puts you in the right place, rather than trying to see over the person in front.
Yes - there's lots of stuff on the internet about tweaking settings for games. In my experience they generally run pretty well out of the box without doing anything.
Even controls I've mostly not had to do anything, only for a couple of games that are really not designed for console had to do any control scheme creation (e.g. FTL).
It definitely wins on information density, and has a certain nostalgia to it. I do find it a bit ugly though - I actually like the look of the "normal" Lemmy client, it just makes very bad use of space.
