Yellow, has been since I was a kid.

If this week's stock prices mean anything that train ran out of rails. The two big AI companies are out of time and the money isn't flowing in. NVIDIA and AMD will be fine but the buyers of warehouses of hardware can't keep doing that much longer.

Mobile or desktop, my preferred interface is mlmym (aka old.lemmy). Unfortunately .ml doesn't host it, I left .ml partially for that reason (and partially for others) to move to lemmy.today which has old.lemmy.today. As a 10+ year old.reddit user I find the old Reddit interface ideal, and mlmym is very faithful at recreating it (and actually fits it better on mobile than real old.reddit).

Lemmy isn't one big place like Reddit is, it's a bunch of different services that connect with each other. The rules of what are and are not allowed varies instance to instance, and some instances block others entirely ("defederate") so if your instance does not allow porn, they likely defederated with instances that do. Either way, if you use the subscribed feed you shouldn't see things outside of the communities you've subscribed to, and communities also have their own rules (usually more specific than the overall instance rules, same as a subreddit's rules vs. reddit's sitewide rules).

Is this some sort of cheat code? If I press these at the Google homepage does a secret menu come up?

I've tested two different forks of DroidDeck that add Mali support, one using the system's blob Vulkan driver and the other using an Android kernel compatible PanVK fork. Both methods got into games, I'm excited that a mesa (PanVK) fork that can run on Android exists now as that was the breakthrough that made Snapdragon chips the preferred option for Android gaming.

I did my part first day of early voting!

For the most part I think this is a good thing. They are right, Discord has largely replaced public forums for community spaces. The old forums were searchable and indexed by Google and other search engines so why not Discord? I have a Discord community for my open source project OpenRGB. I started it off of someone's suggestion on a GitLab issue bacl when the project was just getting started and it's grown to 20K+ users. While I'm not the biggest fan of relying on a proprietary platform like Discord, my attempts to set up alternate spaces on Matrix and Discord-like Spacebar did not get any traction. There's now 6+ years of project history locked up in Discord conversations. I feel like Google being able to index that will ultimately help reduce seeing repeat questions. While I'm not the biggest fan of AI training on my data, for informative and instructional content I'd prefer the AI overview be giving out accurate and up-to-date information than outdated or inaccurate information. Discord is where questions get answered these days for a lot of communities so it's where the accurate information is.

I bought a used Pixel Fold at the beginning of the year because it was cheap. It was clearly used, needed a good cleaning and has some scratches when I got it. I've been using it heavily since, opening and closing it daily. There are a few dead pixels but I think those were there when I got it, otherwise it still works fine.

Hopefully it involves outdated datacenter GPUs flooding the open market to try and recoup what they can, selling for pennies on the dollar to anyone who will buy them, and thus people figuring out how to adapt these cards to work in consumer systems.

If you can't unlock the bootloader and put a real gaming OS on it, it's not a gaming tablet.

The worse part is requiring secure boot, as if I wanted to have a dual kernel set up (my nornal, unsigned, I own my hardware and do what I want with it kernel and my locked down, M$ approved and signed, we own you epic games kernel) I can't just switch between them with a bootloader like rEFInd or GRUB, I have to go and enable secure boot each time in the BIOS. You don't need secure boot to play Fortnite on Windows. This is worse somehow.

That's what I plan to do, at least with ArmadaOS. I don't think you can put actual SteamOS from Valve on it, it needs to be an ARM Linux OS tailored to the hardware that runs the SteamOS components. ArmadaOS seems to be a Fedora spin similar to Bazzite.

DroidDeck looks great but at the moment only really seems good for Qualcomm devices. I tested a fork that is adding other GPU support on my Pixel Fold yesterday and got a few games to run but most did not. Balatro ran but was missing text, Half Life 1 worked pretty much fine, a lot of games did not boot at all. I am impressed at DroidDeck's desktop mode though, they have a Wayland KDE session and Flatpak running, something Termux doesn't seem to have working yet.

e I just ordered an Ayn Thor recently but I'm going to put proper Linux on it with ArmadaOS or something.

Instead of putting it on even more platforms they won't keep the version consistent across, maybe fix the release schedule for the platforms it already supports? I bought it on the Steam Sale partly to play cross-play with my girlfriend who has it on Switch 2, but we can't actually cross-play despite it advertising it because Hello Games can't synchronize the publish dates for patches like literally every other major cross-play game. Why is version mismatch an issue on the released builds? It's ridiculous.

RIP Minecraft happened when Notch sold out to Microsoft in the first place.

Mine is all electronics, gaming, and 3D printing, which absolutely checks out given my purchase history and reviews. Also something like "prefers high resolution display connectivity" because I bought some cables? WHY WOULD I PREFER LOW RESOLUTION DISPLAY CONNECTIVITY ALEXA? WHY?

I just set up my HTC Vive with the Steam Machine (doesn't work on SteamOS unfortunately even in desktop mode, but it works in Arch Linux/KDE Plasma) and was in Skyrim VR and I got my Steam Frame 1TB reservation email! There's a bunch of VR games on sale and I didn't want to wait for the Frame to play them.

• Oblivion Remastered (Linux PC, Machine)
• Hades 2 (Linux PC, Machine, Deck)
• Vampire Survivors (Machine, Deck)
• Overwatch (Linux PC, Machine)
• Marvel Rivals (Linux PC)

Still waitlisted on Frame, can't wait to get back into VR with it. I've contemplated setting up my old Vive in the meantime and seeing if it works on the Steam Machine.

Steam Machine has been awesome for me as a TV PC and couch gaming machine. Cloud gaming is anti-consumer and being able to get away from subscription-based nonsense would be a serious advantage if you do choose to buy it. Owning your own hardware puts you in control, not NVIDIA. SteamOS is great but the Steam Machine is just a PC at the end of the day, you can put SteamOS on another PC and you can install other OSes on the Steam Machine. I have my Machine triple booting SteamOS, Arch, and Windows.
