Huh. Whats that?

What are you not talking about then?

?

Mine was an attempt at meta humor based on the op’s negative inference sentence structure.

TropicalDingdong ,

Maybe its all an attempt at meta humor and all of us are talking past one another?

Decentralized Systems Will Be Necessary To Stop Google From Putting The Web Into Managed Decline (www.techdirt.com)

Is Google signaling the end of the open web? That’s some of the concern raised by its new embrace of AI. While most of the fears about AI may be overblown, this one could be legit. But it doesn’t mean that we need to accept it....

TropicalDingdong ,

Just want to thank everyone here, reading this, on the decentralized unbought future of the web. We all collectively made the content, be it posting, commenting, making the yt videos or writing the articles…

Big tech didn’t make the world of the Internet or the data within, we did; all big tech did was steal it from us. They erected walls to exclude us from the gardens we built and planted.

Just by being here and participating, you are making the difference. Keep making content because if your passions and because you like to. Keep commenting, shit posting, debating, arguing, and being debaucherous. The future is ours, not theirs.

thank you

TropicalDingdong ,

Yep.

TropicalDingdong ,

We’re in the ‘weird’ phase of a new form factor.

There are a few designs that have been interesting. I like weird, but as a steamdeck daily driver, its a pretty good starting point. Hard to improve upon.

TropicalDingdong ,

Yes, they were elected. Quite a long time ago.

However, Israel (arguably) through the PLO, has blocked every opportunity for new elections since then. The last most recent attempt was in 2021, where Israel directly intervened to prevent Palestinians in East Jerusalem from voting.

So like, yes its true that Hamas is an elected government. Its also true that they haven’t had elections in 2 decades. Its also true that both Hamas and Fatah in agreement have tried several times to hold elections, and have either been foibled via the PLO (which by some is considered an influence puppet of Israel), or directly prevented by Israel.

TropicalDingdong ,

because they love Hamas being in power in Gaza

MMm. I disagree. I think they love Hamas being viewed as an illegitimate government, and have been consistently concerned that Hamas will legitimately win any election when called. Hence their effectively trying to block Hamas from the ballot or preventing elections from happening. They want Hamas as an ‘illegitimate partner’, but not to be recognized as a ‘legitimate partner’.

Wild af. Not really a ton of profit for that much of an operation. Only earning a total of $4.2 mil for that level of risk?

What an enterprising young chap though.

No he only made 4 million.

ITs just so much risk to take on. Also, he made some comically stupid errors like registering the domain under his personal name.

Sanders is doing right now, exactly the right thing. Its the thing Biden should be doing but is seemingly incapable of. Its being on the right side of history as history is happening and not accepting some fatalistic inevitability about the future.

Oh man. If the TV news said its not a genocide, it must not be! Right?

Bidens a fucking disgrace.

I just could NOT do windows.

The steamdeck experience is amazing because of how just… clean it all is.

I’ve seen the handhelds running windows. I can’t plug my nose hard enough to stomach that.

TropicalDingdong ,

I mean its more than Windows just ‘being rough’. Its windows being a toxic bane, and its the unique smoothness that the steamdeck native experience allows for.

Honesty, if Valve can focus on their driver game, I’d way rather have a the ROC hardware: its objectively far superior.

There just isn’t a planet on which I would run Windows on… on frankly anything at this point. I really hope valve goes this way because I truly think they’ve solved maybe the #1 issue of linux which is ‘it just works’.

If they can extend that to other hardware; it just makes so much sense. Its not like they are really making money on the deck. Their business is still selling games. Its a loss leader to sell more game and grow the PC gaming market. Why not set people up to put it on other hardware?

I look forward to a day where a handheld is basically a drop in form factor replacement for a laptop. Maybe we can get some ARM chips similar to the M series that can really pump the performance. The future just seems so bright.

TropicalDingdong , (edited )

For SteamOS to become the defacto OS for this form factor, they’ll need much more driver support across hardware configurations is my thinking. SteamOS has focused explicitly on the deck and they’ve done a great job with it. If they can extend this to other hardware configurations and convince other hardware manufacturers to go with SteamOS, I see an opportunity here for Valve, which frankly the size of which hasn’t existed since the earliest days of smart phones*. The windows experience that I’ve seen in this form factor is a joke (on top of how bad windows is just out of the box). Its night and day with SteamOS. However, what windows does have going for it is the driver support for all the wacky and wild hardware combinations companies are sticking in these handhelds. Its very much the wild west, which maybe puts Valve in a weaker position.

I would be interested to know how/if people are trying SteamOS on these other handhelds.

*In terms of the opportunity, I’m looking at ARM based chips like the M4, and seeing a direct path towards an actual, top tier or at least upper mid tier / next gen gaming experience coming from a handheld. The steamdeck sure AF ain’t that. But I see a technical path towards ‘something’ like that, where you have one of these hyper efficient ARM based chipsets in a handheld, and its performance competitive with some of the current (as in the meme this post is about) hardware like the mid to high tier (comparable to say a 4080). Like, before the deck, the only meaningful handheld with any market penetration was the switch, and that things so anemic, I think my toaster has a higher FPS. And the deck really isn’t even that great. The ROG ally is way better in terms of raw horse power, but the problem comes back to Windows. If you have to run windows on these things, its basically a non-starter, at least in terms of penetrability.

Sticky trick: new glue spray kills plant pests without chemicals (www.theguardian.com)

The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...

TropicalDingdong ,

I mean, the el Camino caught a lot of flak when I was young. I remember my “surfer/ stoner/ slacker/ loser” gen x cousin who was a pool guy used his as a work vehicle and I guarantee that guy was SMASHING with that ride. I’m not saying a cyber truck truck is on that level and but some things take time to catch on.

TropicalDingdong ,

You make the assumption that Democrats (the politicians, not the voters) actually see this as a legislative priority.

TropicalDingdong ,

Any day now then…

it’s projection bro. It’s you.

If you support fascism because it’s Democrats doing it, you are no ally.

And that’s what you are arguing for.

Your argument , you entire refusal to hold Democrats accountable by being critical of them and withholding your support to force them to come to you, it’s why we’re in this mess.

YOU are the white moderate MLK warned us about.
