Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.

I use mine just about every day, I've been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I'm excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I've gotten out of it. But, that doesn't really help anybody else, I know.

It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I've played start-to-finish more than once.

Plus you can plug the mac into itself for free charging.

Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.

I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)

Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.

Man, I don't understand this sentiment at all. I don't know what would be different from my setups, but KDE has always been rock solid for me. Back when I used it on Mandrake Linux and today.

OP, might you be an Arch user?

It doesn't read sarcastic to me; the joke is more presenting a fantasy as though it were practical dating advice.

Just following in the footsteps of the Silk Road's creator on Stack Overflow. The FBI mentioned the post specifically.

Fountain pen writing may look nicer in most scenarios, but in terms of practicality they're awful compared to ballpoints.

LFS doesn't give you a usable system in practice though. A distribution is nothing without package management.

Gentoo gives you a thorough course in Linux fundamentals, and has lots of other benefits. Forget the mild gains of compiling for your specific CPU, it's really all about the incredible flexibility of Portage.

I just saw an OwO scrawled in a cargo bin on a commercial flight last week myself.

Cheap cars definitely are more reliable if you pick the right brands. On all the other points it just doesn't make enough of a difference to me to justify the enormous cost increase.

Our $10k used Camry is still kicking ass over ten years later and hasn't ever needed work more extensive than replacing leaking struts. The reliability truly is astounding.

EDIT: But, let's not talk about my camera-buying habits lol

Whether they need it to federate or not, it's still reasonable to not want an entity as large and powerful as Meta to consume this data. Fuck Meta because it's Meta, which has a history of being particularly heinous with user data.

The Sun's not going to explode, either. I'm beginning to think this dog is full of shit!

And the whole human body, brain and all, can run on ~100 watts. Truly astounding.

They did as a side product, but that's not at all the same thing as dropping the concept entirely.

Don't give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it's a much cooler concept than that

Plus creators get paid more per premium view than per ad-supported view.

The subtlety that people fall into with the YT hate wagon is that yes, Google is shitty and needs to be held accountable for it, but running a video site on that scale like some loving small community simply is not possible.

I love Nebula, the online video ecosystem is much richer for it, but every time I hear people hoping it can materially compete with YT I have to laugh. Not only do their quality controls not scale at all, but YT having such a low barrier to entry for anyone makes it inclusive in a way no curated community can be, especially over the long term. Nebula is literally an offshoot of YT, it won't be the last, and that's part of what's great about YT.

Now, if only we could convince some other conglomerate to light piles of cash on fire for over a decade to bootstrap a proper direct competitor, then Google would be forced to be somewhat less shitty.

One thing I haven't heard others mention is fun. The better I get with vim, the more fun I have applying my skills to work efficiently.

I also love that I can use it with a phone keyboard and still remain highly efficient. Being able to SSH into my server on the go and not be terribly hampered in my admin and editing is pretty amazing.

Ubiquitous, powerful, flexible, lightweight, fun: it's a pretty good mix of positives in the tradeoff for vim.

Have you heard the good news about our lord and savior Ruby?

Turns out massively parallel computation has applications beyond video rendering.

Nope and yep. It's an incredible tool, but it's got a vim-sized learning curve to really leverage it plus other significant drawbacks. Still my beloved one-and-only when I can get away with it, but its a bit of a masochistic acquired taste for sure.

Template tweaking, as I imagine academia heavily relies on, is really the closest to practical it gets. You do still get beautiful results, it's just hard to express yourself arbitrarily without really committing to the bit.

He's absolutely right! He'd be violating a trademark, not copyright.

I feel like part of the impetus for the name change, and perhaps the extreme hype to some extent, came from trying to distance themselves from the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

The Titanic expert diver seemed to act as a tour guide, based on video of a previous excursion.

Entitlement seems to be a fundamemtal human condition. Look at how much traditional women's work is looked down upon. Society is simply not possible without child rearing, yet it is seen as incomparable to wage-generating work.

Sign language is speech, it's just non-verbal speech.

RedReader, love me some barebones functionality.

The rap is the best part!

Just because they can un-burn you at the end doesn't mean your body isn't destroyed when you leave. Even if the atoms were just re-arranged and not converted to energy, you're still getting pureed and then reconstituted. Hard to argue you're not dead when your brain has been completely disassembled.

It may be terrible for some people. If both partners are committed to a union based on undivided devotion, it's a powerful thing indeed.

The repair cost is ultimately the most significant, that's true.

We'll have to see how statistics play out in the long run: that's where the non-anecdotal evidence for Toyota's supremacy comes from.

Them titties are properly low-poly.

Humanity survived ice ages, it's plausible any climate catastrophe will just be a bottlenecking event.

The only meaning is the meaning we forge for ourselves.

There's a bit more subtlety to it than that. The PC architecture that dominates today is a direct descendant of the 1981 IBM Personal Computer, which was made to run DOS and later Wondows. The cultural association makes sense in that context.

Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.

For podcasts and audiobooks and even incidental music listening $10 panasonic buds go the distance for me.

When I'm sitting down to enjoy music at home, then it's the $80 sony studio monitors. Still excellent value.

Give me my headphone socket back, phone makers :(

I adore Fossil as well. Having simple tools like a wiki and tickets built into each repo is rad.
