As a builder, would you say there’s a somewhat budget pre-built option that’s decent that lazy and curious people like me can look at?
I’m not having a lot of trouble with my body with the regular keyboards, but they do force.me into specific positions when I have to do actual work, because I need both sides of it rather than just the gaming one when I play.
I don’t know when they introduced it, but at some point, in some servers, I noticed a new channel type: forum. The fact that this is a thing is the greatest proof that Discord is not the end all, be all solution to communication.
Nothing is, really. One thing I really enjoyed about the 00s web was its diversity, because different things had different places and different formats, and the ever-lasting stakeholder grasp wasn’t as successful at trying to put people in one place to show them ads and drive engagement to please the statistics gazers.
I’d love it. I don’t hate the UI as it currently is, but I’d definitely appreciate some features, like the hotkeys RES has, or a tighter UI in general, with less padding and space between elements.
To be fair, tweaking the UI is surely in my power and skillset, but UI is surely my least favorite part of development as a whole.
“We’re right, you’re wrong, cope and cry about, thanks for coming” type of AMA incoming, along with the fan favorite nothing burger with lame ass excuses on the side
I was actually trying to call out basically every smartphone out there because they have to be packing multicore CPUs with at least 3 GB of RAM in order to be functional.
My current phone has 2 GB, and almost all of it is dedicated to the Android system itself, even without any shells (i.e. not MiUI or anything like that, which is basically Android OS plus something on top, eating up even more resources), and can be really painful to use at times. I seem to have won some performance back by switching to Via browser instead of the native Google Chrome, YMusic instead of the native YouTube app, and RedReader for Reddit (might kiss goodbye to that some time soon, as we all know) - the rest of the applications I use either lack a proper mobile version of the website (viewing some with the desktop option on is horrible), a lightweight alternative, or both. I also don’t have the memory to download every single app for the websites I use as they keep suggesting - more importantly, I don’t want to.
When I’m on PC, I use the web applications available for nearly every single thing I use - but oh no, I can’t do that on mobile, I need an app, which I’d have to update frequently, wasting even more space with the piss-poor solutions they go for in the name of profits.
Damn I’m getting worked up talking software and especially the mobile world.
Exactly! Screens are so big now, they should pack so much real estate, but they just don’t most of the time, and it’s not even because of human eyesight limitations.
Man, this whole API thing really makes me think of how much of a shithole the web is, still after all those years.
I basically have to buy a keyboardless laptop with an awkward resolution if I have to buy a smartphone, all because the software for it is less than optimized crap that mostly just spies on you for the sake of ad revenue, and then leaves garbage all over the system it barely ever cleans up. A wonderful package for a multi-core, multi-threaded CPU paired with at least 3 GB RAM (if that’s even enough today) that you almost certainly can’t use with any comfort to browse the web because almost no one who pays big money to their devs cares that these devs build a proper mobile version of the website - which is part of nearly every webdev interview anyway, and for what, just to make me download the app anyway? What a fucking joke, honestly.
Web on desktop is just as much of a disgrace for all the bloat.
I don’t want to sound like an elitist, but I guess I will regardless: the most important number of people simply don’t care.
I think it’s safe to say that the people who will be affected by the new API pricing and other decisions, as well as the people who want to protest at least some of it at least somehow (be it boycotting for a few days or migrating to fediverse in any capacity) are simply not the demographic that the Reddit board really cares about. Not necessarily because they’re evil, anti-privacy, Machiavellian moneybags (they still are), but because Reddit is a business, a big one, and big businesses care about money more than anything else.
I’m not really optimistic about the boycott and any other aftermath. I think the best we’ll see is influx of users on lemmy and other instances, which is good, but that’s about it, and I’m fine with it.
This.
Most of my friends aren’t Linux/tech enthusiasts at all, but they do build their PCs because it’s cheaper, and they’re all over intel and nvidia. One even asked me for an advice on what GPU to get under a certain budget, and the fucker wouldn’t listen to my AMD recommendations, despite the very obvious advantage to his wallet and performance he was looking for.
Intel + Nvidia pretty much dominate the pre-built market, too. I was in a tech store recently and, as usual, gazed at some PCs and laptops they had over there just for the sake of it, and nearly every single one of them was intel+nvidia, for the very exception of a full AMD laptop.
