  • My guess is gonna be a Dr. Who or a Black Mirror villain that utilized deep psychological horror. Maybe one of the ones that made people into immortals or data-immortals with a near infinite amount of time combined with horrifying living conditions to break their victims.

    Or Hades/other Greek gods and such.

  • Erupted a supernova

  • Sure, but calling them out for not being a $20 burner phone doesnt make sense when you're comparing that to a developer/development device. This phone specifically isnt meant for everyday consumers. What it is, however, is a signal that there is now a third competitor in the works, and it's real and tangible.

    There is already something in the works (that you can technically buy right now if you wanted), and it actively respects your freedom. Granted, as with everything in this ecosystem, its a very slow burn, so it'll be a while before the software is actually good, but it's already made massive strides from where it started.

    I would say wait a bit and take a look at this later, but i do have one friend daily driving one now to some success (this wasn't possible a year ago).

  • I believe the estimated numbers are closer to 3.7m but I don't have a reliable source on this. I think some people on /v/ ran some total revenue numbers and did some math to derive that number.

  • You can! And you can even use PS5 (or any other bluetooth-capable) controllers with it.

    We had a family night in the living room with mine, I used an xbox one X controller, wife used a dualshock 4, and kiddo used a Wii U controller (I was emulating a switch game, so the Wii U controller helped the little one a lot with the button mappings being correct on the faces).

    I recommend starting with a cheap dock like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Hiearcool-Adapter-Multport-Compatible-Devices-Midnight/dp/B09YLD1Q4L

    and then upgrading to a Jsaux dock or the official dock later.

  • Honestly, FileLight and manually deleting folders and files is the way to go.

  • If you want to kill x86, you need to do what Valve and the Wine foundation did with Proton/WINE (mostly proton at this point though), but for x86 to ARM and maybe other architectures like RISCV (especially because the milkV pioneer is a thing).

    There is too much legacy software that will never be converted that people still use to this day. Once you make it easy to transition, it will slowly but steadily start to happen.

    Box86/Box64 are promising, but need help from contributors like you. If you want it to happen, go make it happen, or continue to live in the world you have now.

  • This is already being done by most. You mistake the inability to keep up with the sheer volume with a platform taking inaction. Even with a paid full-time team of 10 people (about what a team size is at any corporation) doing nothing but content moderation, user reports, and even automated bans, you cannot keep up with the raw volume of bad actors. What you can do is keep trudging through it and keep it cut back so it doesn't go wild.

    perhaps maybe ip banning them if they continue to try doing this.

    Ask 4chan how well IP bans work.

  • I made a bit of a logical fast-forward in my statement. By holding the platforms accountable, you're asking them to take action against their userbases. There is no other way for them to "take accountability."

  • I'm noticing a lot of people are listing relaxing flavors and not grounding flavors. Grounding is something that "brings you back to Earth" and puts you right in the moment in front of you.

    For me, this is something really sour (usually candy). It kind of knocks me out of whatever zone-out I was in, or hyperfocus. It's like a reset switch.

  • Can you elaborate on how exactly we would hold them accountable? What mechanisms precisely would you use without violating reasonable expectations of privacy (and no, posting online doesn't mean you should have your real identity tracked or exposed just because the post is publicly facing like on Twitter, YouTube comments, reddit, and especially Lemmy.)

  • The lemmy.today owner may have modified their copy of Lemmy to include appbrain for site statistics.

  • You basically need to employ network engineering level security - very tight firewall rules, use NAT where it's available (IPv6 removes NAT, which ipv6 apologists will tell you is a good thing - they're wrong, as it removes per-service level control and moves it out to per-device/per-NIC), and punch very specific holes to grant access where needed.

    Prevent north/south traffic entirely, limit east/west traffic heavily

  • It also helps that Valve is bankrolling it.

  • I mean, my switch has run Android and Ubuntu at various points (Ask me how!)

  • Exactly. Point proven

  • It's not the knitting projects at home or shooting cans in the woods people have an issue with, it's the legislature you vote for, the way you treat people when you're not at home, and the kinds of people you support (people in aggressive positions of authority)

  • Auxio is kind of a beast. It does an initial cache on load and periodically, but then handles everything blazing fast after that. And it is the only app of recent times that's both open source and has the layout I want (old Google Play Music/Zune/iTunes Mobile layout).
