Honestly, this is the question people should be asking in response. I totally get the gut reaction against censorship, but I don’t think anyone would agree that Facebook, Xitter, etm. are innocent, neutral parties in all of this.

Part of the issue (as the article points out) is that those companies have been allowed to essentially craft people’s internal narrative, often amplifying our worst impulses and inclinations—all in service of making the black line go up for investors.

So is banning social media for teens the correct path forward? Maybe in the short term, but until we direct the governance to the companies creating the problems in the first place, we’re almost certainly going to have this conversation again in the future.

And D&D

It’s still an ad, intentional or not, mainly because of the unrestrained, almost hyperbolic positivity. It sounds almost exactly like a pitch to investors, assuring them that they can invest in this totally-not-a-fad tech scheme. Also, it’s a wall of text…

Which is exactly what I’d expect from a LLM that doesn’t actually comprehend what it’s writing but instead plagiarizes and amalgamates businesses pitches and internet fanboy screed.

It’s not a copyright suit, it’s a patent suit. So it’s indeed just like the Apple suit, though what patents were infringed upon is still unknown as of now.

Eat shit, Nintendo. I hope you lose and experience the Streisand effect.

If it happens, do post to !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz. I know lots of people would be interested.

That’s cool. I agree that it’s not as portable as some other options, but it wouldn’t be able to do what it does if it was.

That’s why there’s still good options out there for everyone! It’s a great time for gaming.

I would actually recommend Spiral Linux if somebody new wanted to go with Debian. It’s the Debian analog to Endeavor.

Hey, that’s good to know!

No, I just thought they were vaguely similar enough words to make a dumb internet joke.

Oh, the artificial humanity!

Ah! I actually meant to do that (saw that on another post), but the second to last Deck update broke Decky Loader’s injection sequence, so I forgot about it in the meantime.

ETA: the latest Deck update corrected that issue, and Decky works fine, now.

And you’re entitled to your opinion. I also have small hands, and I don’t find its size or weight to be a problem for me.

I got a 1st Gen 3DS second hand some time ago. What I like:

• Pokemon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing.
• The 3D effect and dual cameras are neat, though a little gimmicky.

What I don’t like:

• The heavy reliance upon internet connectivity. I can’t change the details of the account on it without losing access to the downloaded games. I can’t even change it anyway, because the online store is closed.
• The control stick sucks. It’s good for a very flat control stick, but it doesn’t feel nice to use.
• Proprietary power connector.
• The viewing angle on the screen is pretty shallow.

I have a Steam Deck, and it’s just better in all respects. I get that it’s comparing a very new device against an old device, but I don’t really see a reason to pull out the 3DS when I could have a better experience on the SD.

This is a very good point, and it’s one of the reasons I don’t use my old laptop as an always-on server.

There’s still some crackling audio on resume from suspend, occasionally. Would love to see that bug ironed out completely.

I had heard that. Maybe I’ll get my hands on one someday. I hear Commodore makes one.

(I do wonder now if whatever variable is being used to denote time is signed or unsigned, because that would make a big difference, too.)

Doh! You are absolutely right.

Plasma has a Win 11 menu clone as well, iirc. I forget what it’s called.
