I can't speak on multiplayer experiences, but i have several emulators set up on my OLED deck. GameCube, N64, switch, ps2. They work well, and i have a 3DO pro2 i use while it's docked to my 4k tv, sound through a surround sound bar with woofer - amazing sound. I mostly run skyrim and Balder's Gate 3 at the moment, but i enjoyed BotW and my son likes sonic.

All I can say is that it is kinda cathartic that someone other than me is experiencing this nightmare.

Also, this pages where it is impossible to select any text at all.

This is one reason why I will never pay for a phone I cannot root if a rootable option exists.

Strangers on the internet constantly tell me I am a fool to root "'cause security", and I just shake my head.

If I pay $700 for a phone, I own it. If I'm paying for X gigabytes of cellular data, I will not be told I cannot use it "for that".

I almost never see advertisements, am blocking tracking and malware at the device level, and impriving sound output quality. I use kernels that are patched up way better than the device default, and have superior battery life, and cpy over-clocking.

I'd go insane if I had to deal with all those restrictions, invasion of privacy, and monetization of my life at my expense.

Remember that to stay in business, they must sell something. Since they are selling something designed to last a very long time, they need to expand their customers and sell other products, or both.

Some consumers want to get new product regularly. There is reason to stop them. As long as they continue to make their products to last, the rest of us get what we want, and the company is more profitable, sounds like a win-win.

This appears to be an effort to convince people to try their products - good for them! My answer to your last question is yes. Capitalism is not bad - amoral or unregulated capitalism is bad.

One where Republicans block all Democrat court appointments, then push through their candidates at high speed when Republicans are in control.

What I can't figure out is why the Democrats can't use similar tactics successfully. This is how we got a Republican Supreme Court.

Somehow they were able to stonewall Obama's nominees for over a year, then pushed through conservative appointees fast enough to give us whiplash - legal problems be damned.

Okay everybody - this is one of those good things that the Biden Administration and Democrats are doing to properly run government.

It is also something that most people will not know about. Why? Because it's not a simple sound bite.

So my homework to all of us is to make sure our friends and Neighbors who are complaining about government not doing anything for us to point this and similar things out to them.

Real benefits, real work is almost never easily described in sound bites. So many people believe the Democrats don't do what they say they're going to do because getting s*** done is too complicated for most people.

I don't know the backstory to this. My view in General on open source projects is that the people who initiate those projects and manage those projects generally have final say. If enough people disagree a fork will naturally occur.

However I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of claiming that they should not curate and control how their own project is managed. I'm here labor of love should not be forcefully taken from them. They have reasons for their decisions and it is their baby.

If you believe that a large number of users want the features that you want, then by all means Fork it. We will find out over time if you are right. And that is how it works. There should be no animosity.

... Until all the sites you absolutely need to use in order to *function in society *require approved devices with proper tracking.

You assume too much, yourself. I think the point is the U.S. finally realized they were giving away critical technology to a nation that not so secretly plans to replace them.

Unfortunately, I think they were asleep too long, and China has enough knowledge to press forward without stealing from Americans.

Now, America must accept the fact they fucked up and have to compete as equals, which is much more difficult.

I've read an awful lot of comments yelling at EFF for supporting very bad people. I think you all do not understand the point being made.

It is not the isp's job to police the network. The proper route is to raise the complaint to the proper authorities and let them police the problem. Specifically, So they can do it in a transparent auditable and citizen visible fashion.

What happens when the ISP decides to block a person or organization because they think what they're doing is unacceptable, but they're wrong? How do we police that?

Nobody sees anything because they're blocked before anything can be shown. That is instant hidden censorship that nobody can stop because nobody knows about it.

Even the ACLU went to bat for a Nazi organization on a free speech topic because letting it pass would set a precident that would not be reversed, and thus eventually would be used to silence just causes.

Edit: if that's still too complex to parse, replace the target with the sermons of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Lots of mentions of OpenBoard here. There is a fork that is under development now, and I am writing this with it now. It is not on F-Droid yet.

FlorisBoard and AnySoft are good, but each has enough annoyances that I come back to OpenBoard, which has its own annoyances, but for me are a bit less annoying.

I'm somewhat amused that they're hyping the color options in a breathless excited way as if it was a great new feature that changed the world.

Free speech does not include subversion of the constitutional right to vote or seditious speech. The judges are clearly partisans. I'll wager they are Republican appointees.

I've been unemployed for 7 months. Every online job I see that's been posted for at least 6 hours has over 200 applications. I'm a senior Dev with 30 years experience, and I can't find work.

I'd say generative AI is an existential threat as bad as offshoring was for steel in the early 80s. I'm now left with the prospect of spending the last 20 years of my work life at or near minimum wage.

After all, I can't afford to spend $250,000 on a new bachelor's degree, and a community college degree might get me to $25/hr, and still costs thousands. This is causing impoverishment on a massive scale.

Ignore this threat at your peril.

And that is the goal - make it such a pain in the ass to go with something that won't track your every decision that we all give up because it is easier.

At least LineageOS with or without MicroG is fairly simple, with auto-updates in many cases. Once you get past Knox and install twrp, it's easier.

GSI builds are generally easy, too, if it's well maintained. I like Andy Yan's ROMs.

Matrix has too much metadata, i read, and XMPP so far does everything Matrix claims to do. I am sticking with XMPP (Jabber) for as long as i can, especially because it has proven itself over 20 years.

You missed the sarcasm. Sometimes hard to get in text. Both of those artists are long dead.

However, their heirs could still be getting royalties if the artists were savvy.

I'm old enough to remember when none of this stuff existed. I have a threshold Beyond which I simply stop using the service.

I'm actually pretty close to my lifestyle from before 1995. I don't have any cable I have basic internet I don't do any of the Music Services. Video-wise I only have Prime and any free services I can get on Chromecast for TV. I'm getting close to my threshold with prime, as the annual fee is getting real high.

I'm already starting to lose interest in most YouTube channels. It's not so bad here, really. I get to experience reality more.

Pixel Dungeon is a good option.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Give that man a cigar!

Control plus the ones who own the office space really, really need to make sure it's being used or it looks bad on the quarterly finances.

Also, I have to admit there is validity to the benefits of in-person social interaction on certain aspects of productivity when teams are involved.

I'm using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can't decide which is better, so I'm interested in others people love.

Well, my first criteria is an unlockable bootloader, followed by rootability.

Those alone usually pare the options down to 2 to 4 phones, so I really don't have to think too much about the cool features.

I expect to use my phone from 2 to 5 years, so compatibility with certain ROM producers is Aldo high on the list.

Nobody is advocating tolerance, at least I didn't see it. This is about ensuring free speech cannot be subverted silently.

Note I pointed out that the issue is the arbiter of "tolerable". Citizens need to make that decision with accurate information. In our case, that would be done through some department of the justice system combined with awareness and involvement by civil rights organizations.

Also, if you saw The Blues Brothers, you saw that Skokie Nazi march from the ACLU case, and the derision of them portrayed. Counter protests were equally allowed. This airs the issues in the light, where the unacceptable ideas can be countered.

The alternative is that those ideas spread quietly like a virus, unimpeded by facts that expose the flaws in those beliefs. Once people identify with the movement, it is very difficult to change their minds.

This is my view, too. I still have my 2XL with fully updated LineageOS with MicroG, and it still feels "fast enough". I got the P6 because the camera stopped working after 4 years and the battery and USB charging port got flakey.

However, after I went with a custom ROM, the USB/battery problems went away. I still use it.

If I can't flash, I won't buy.

Any word on where lemmy.one stands on this? For the moment, I'm still getting this, but I'll create another account elsewhere if necessary.

Yes. The FCC is part of the Executive branch, which is lead by the President, who appoints the leadership of the institutions that carry out the executive branch's assigned job: enforce and execute the law.

I suppose the question is whether Rust is worth the extra work. I know nothing of rust. I know C#, JavaScript, and some other web app tools. Is Rust significantly better than those? Are there enough developers interested in Rust to encouage robust participation?

Can Lemmy handle plugins in a language agnostic way? If so, that might be a better route. Again,I am not advocating anything, just raising questions that can lead to an informed decision.

We aren't third-world yet, but if we can't excise the political cancer soon, we will be.

At least Chromecast for TV basically does this. I can search for something and it will tell me all the ways I can watch for any installed app even unsubscribed.

Still, the issue of paying multiple monthly fees to see what you want is ludicrous. It's as if the media companies maliciously complied with consumers' desire to pick and choose what they watch rather than pay $200 a month for 1000 stations they don't watch.

Now, you have to pay $200 to get all the services that have what you want to watch - and you still have to sift through the drek.

Much better, that. /s

However you use heat energy to generate other energy, it will not solve the problem of heat being increased in cities. Heat is an end State energy form.

This is why you may have heard the phrase the heat death of the universe. Entropy can be thought of as all energy being converted to heat, evenly distributed in the universe. The best you can do is move the heat elsewhere.

Heat death of the Universe happens when the heat is evenly distributed and there's no way to move it to produce other forms of energy, like electricity.

Theoretically, heat can be turned into matter per Einstein, but we haven't figured that out yet.

It got clunky precisely because they want you to pay for a subscription. Why pay if it works well without paying? It's the capitalist way. Make it a pain, then offer a "cure" for a price.

Translation: unethical or uninformed developers are building cheep homes in flood zones and making bank.

So many people - some I know - are moving or want to move to Florida. They shrug when I remind them it will be under water within 50 years, and above 110 degrees Fahrenheit the majority of the year even sooner. Then there are the expanding diseases and parasites.

Can't fix stupid.

Only if it earns a profit.

Humanity as tools.

Well, I use KDE connect and it does not lose pairing. It might be your environment. I had to open certain ports to get pairing at all, so maybe there's something going on with your firewall?

I started Reddit almost 2 years ago, and used Infinity. I avoided all social media since MyPage but finally gave in for Reddit. It was Toxic, then it went to hell in a handbasket like Twitter.

Find someone in your community who has professional map tech skills. That person can get detailed map data from your municipality and upload it into openstreetmaps, and you will then have the best maps :) if you are so inclined, you can learn yourself from their site.

Um....

These just came out like 2 months ago. Are you talking about the old nexus 7, which is 11 years old? Or maybe the most recent releases in 2014?

Anybody who bought one of those in 2020 was a moron and deserved to have them die "unexpectedly".

I use ocrmypdf, after being a bit frustrated with gscan2pdf. There is a simple ui available, but I just created a tiny script that does the ocr , deskew, etc. In one operation with wildcard file selection.

I also installed a jbig compressor that really shrinks images. My processed docs are generally 40% to 80% smaller, and it seems to get better tesseract output than gscan does.

A fellow old-schooler, I see! Me too!
