The point is; he wants a Framework-like approach to modularity and feature set. That means a phone that's good enough to actually holds its own without retreating to being "ethical" or "modular."

Fairphone is just the worst deal you can get even if you consider the ethical side of it. This is because rescuing an old phone gives you a much better experience for less than half the cost and keeping tech from the landfill is a lot more ecologically friendly as the work and sourcing was already done regardless of you purchasing the device.

back-to-back lying to the public

What?

sexual harassment debacles

... that none of which ended up in the court let alone confirmed. That's an allegation, not something proven.

They've been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.

Straight up one of the points GN made. Which they really did improve upon. They don't pump out as much content now, as well as generally higher quality content again.

salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour

:D

coming out the other side a multimillionaire.

Guy created and ran a YouTube channel, expanded it to be a media company. Hosts a forum, sells high quality merchandise (you can look up the coverage of their bag or screwdrivers from places like project farm). Also runs a premium video hosting and live streaming service for creators. That's what we call "earned it."

This comment just reeks of toxicity, rather than criticism.

Venn diagram of people who understand this specific technicality and people who don't want to deal with the shitty TV software is almost a circle though.

I'd rather get a Android box at the very least.., or just HTPC.

Still, the seamlessness should be there, I don't care how they mask it, but it should be there somewhat, again, this is 2023. It doesn't even do simple fade to blacks, but full blown loading screens everywhere.

Also, travelling with the ship mechanic is incredibly, frustratingly cumbersome. For example, let's say you wanted to jump to Sol for the first time, in Starfield, you'd do:

• Select and mark your destination through map screen.

• Somehow exit the map screen (either mash B or hold B and tap B again to exit the menu, cumbersome)

• Highlight your weapons with the D-Pad and mash down button.

• Highlight GRAV and mash the up button.

• Enjoy game stripping controls away from you.

• Go back into map screen to mark surface spot you want to go to.

• Hold X.

• Voilà, you're there, insantly.

Why have an entire space mechanic, if you're just gonna make it frustrating to interact with? Game is okay with teleporting you around at times, but not others as well. It literally disrespects your time, but not in a good way. Speaking of a game that disrespects your time well, it's Elite, which the flow of events would be:

• Open Galaxy Map with Y+Left D-Pad and select a destination.

• Exit with tapping B, once.

• Align your ship with the destination and throttle up.

• Tap Y to initiate jump.

• Enjoy being able to look around or (albeit barely) interact with your screens.

• Open System Map with Y+Right D-Pad and select your destination.

• Align the ship with destination.

• Open Navigation Panel via X+Left D-Pad, select your target and enable Supercruise Assist.

• Enjoy ship taking you there, feel free to interact with panels, photo mode, chat, etc.

Sure, it's a lot more complicated as it is a sim, but see that you don't really do redundant actions and you're in control most of the time. Also, no loading screens as the jumping effect will mask the system change, and the "dropping from Supercruise" screen will mask the second loading screen. Funnily enough, you'll wait more but feel like it took less.

I don't want Starfield to be be Elite or Star Citizen, but it doesn't even have the rudimentary systems in place. For example, I thought you were able to fly anywhere with your ship in the atmosphere and outside it. Just not seamlessly transition between those. That'd be "possible" to have as the game already does this technically. It just isn't there for whatever reason.

Also this basically breaks exploration as the wast majority of travelling you'll do is via the menus and loading screens due to the exact same issues. I remind you this game was marketed as an exploration game with 1000 and whatnot.

This is also the case for game play as well. There are just way too many loading screens. Especially weird when they already have airlocks which would mask vast majority of those perfectly.

This is a reaaaaly specific thing to think about, you okay?

Funnily enough Chromium actually consumes less RAM and is safer due to better sandboxing.

But neither of these concern the average user. However, the main difference between the browsers user may notice is how pages that are still loading behave. Firefox has the correct behavior. Aka waiting for vast majority of the elements to finish loading versus Chromium just going "if it's rendered it's intractable." This unfortunately means that Firefox feels slower even though it's actually faster.

Also, on behalf of the dark mode enjoyers, flashing white for a moment while launching, loading web pages or updating contents of a webpage is incredibly annoying. None of the Chromium browsers flash white on dark mode.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

I don't know what happened but I also see less politics and more interesting topics, which is making me want to vote more let alone to comment more.

Please add regional pricing. It's currently ₺650 to remove ads. Considering Forza Horizon 5, a triple A title that costs $60 normally is priced at ₺600, the current pricing is just too much for anything but the NA and EU.

Connect for now. It isn't perfect but pretty good. Feed isn't as smooth (images load in later kicks your scrolling up) and you can't open links in it automatically.

As an alternative, you could consider KDE Connect. It does a lot more than just keyboard and touchpad. You can even send files both ways extremely quickly.

Connect is by far the most polished but the bar isn't that high unfortunately. I'm waiting for Sync, it was the best Reddit client in my opinion. At least when it came to UX, it was really good. I have high expectations for Sync for Lemmy.
