  • The solution is to not treat communities like official and unique subreddits.

    On Reddit there's the PCGaming subreddit. On Lemmy there are more than five. Subscribe to all, or the most active ones, or the ones you align yourself better with... And that's it, there's no need to be concerned about which individual post goes on which individual community for a topic, it will federate and others will read it just fine.

  • Free Software Foundation Turns 40, Unveils LibrePhone

  • Let's make Debian or Arch just work

    Wonder why that's extremely rare on ARM devices, especially those with modems, and rarely works beyond proof of concepts on some very specific devices? Its not like you're the first to have this idea.

  • How many months away are we from Windows requiring a subscription to use, with a cheaper version for the OS + Office and a more expensive that also bundles AI?

  • Here in Brazil there's a famous brand of chocolate called Baton. The chocolate sells well in general, but lots of kids ask for their eggs during Easter, and they usually come with toy cars or action figures or a water gun or whatever.

    In one particular Easter, the eggs came with a toy that was a long cylinder with a smaller, rounded tip at one end.

    This cylinder had just one feature: it vibrated a lot when you turn it on.

    It also came with a minuscule pen, with almost no ink, you could attach to the device. Their explanation was that it was a fun vibrating pen toy. When asked how's a pen that vibrates any fun or useful, they had no answer, and why the device was significantly larger than the actual pen, also no answer.

    So for Easter that year, kids got a penis-shaped vibrating toy... And a pen.

  • Fairphone CEO says it’s a ‘myth’ that sustainable tech has to cost more and be of lower quality: ‘Neither is needed’

  • Now, though? I find wireless earbuds vastly nicer and more convenient for phones

    Love the fact their tiny, non-replaceable lithium batteries means they're quite literally disposable products you'll have to keep buying and throwing away.

  • While I agree older generations are always complaining about the habits of newers ones, always dooming everything, and that progress is good and unavoidable...

    ...I honestly do think we should sometimes sit down and re-evaluate if older habits have a place and if their criticism can bring some truth. I've been moving away from the hyper-connected and convenient modernity we live in and adopting older habits like writing my notes with paper and pen, under a candle light, and it's honestly been fantastic for me, just as an example.

    It's midnight and you're hungry. You go to Wendy's for a Dave's Double combo. You sip your diet coke and a genie pops out that asks you "How old would you like to be forever?". What's your answer?

  • Monkey's paw curls. Wish granted: you will live for 10 to the power of 107 years, you'll outlive every living and non living being, you'll transcend mortal understanding, you'll play with the flow of entropy - to see birth and death, hot and cold, to feel the final, guttering pulse of the last black hole as it surrenders its hoarded information to the void.

    And you'll have a little popcorn kernel stuck between your gum and a tooth during this entire time.

  • It's weird how unreasonably mad I get at the LinkedIn writing style. The pauses, the paragraphs, the "The lesson?" "The meaning?" "The result?" questions, always ending with "Here's the truth:"

    It hits some part of my primitive brain and makes me wanna smash some rocks

  • Halo is long dead. The brand name is the one thing left.

  • I don't care if Nintendo wins, I just need AI to lose.

    Jump

  • Nintendo is quite clearly transitioning towards being a "Disney-style" media company.

    They sell Mario, the character, not a Mario game. They want licensed plushies, water bottles, clock faces, theme parks, movies. And yes, a few games, so long as they have the characters in the safest most streamlined way possible.

    Generative AI is profoundly dangerous to this type of company. ChatGPT won't generate Super Mario 64 part 2 for you... But it can generate infinite amounts of shirts, mugs, funny videos, paintings, etc.
