I’m surprised nobody has taken on bringing compatible hardware to market. I feel like there would (still) be crowdfunding interest.

I hadn’t heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.

I found this interesting in the comments:

Hmm, Raspberry Pi Ltd. joins RISC-V group (Jan 2019). Raspberry Pi Ltd. releases Rpi5 with a unified Rpi1 I/O chip (Oct 2023) freeing them from being tied to a particular SoC family. ARM Ltd. invests in Raspberry Pi Ltd. (Nov 2023). Hmmm… Really seems like a “here’s some cash, stay ARM.”

Can you imagine the marketing impact of a RISC-V RPi board after all these years of it being ARM based? Sure, the number of boards effected isn’t huge, but it’s the marketing impact of losing a flagship product that needs to be considered.

I prefer uBlock Origin myself.

I’m not the person you were replying to, but the source linked on the wiki for that statement actually refers to them as being distinct.

Impressive!

Well that’s disappointing. Also noticed this review: https://www.gamesradar.com/cities-skylines-2-review/

Thanks!

Picking up a console means locking yourself down to (and supporting) a platform designed around creating exclusives. PC games aren't locked down and can work on a much wider range of hardware and even operating systems.

I use my PC almost exclusively from the couch with my OLED TV. Sometimes from bed with a tablet on a flexible arm via Sunshine/Moonlight.

I'm not into consoles so as long as there's PC support, I'm good. I wouldn't call something exclusive if it's on PC… As long as there isn't a crippling anti-cheat, that means it can be played on Linux!

Great news! I'm normally not a fan of mergers but hope Microsoft will do a better job with the Blizzard IP.

Interesting… thanks for flagging!

I wish we had universal links to specific posts! Glad you were able to find it. Link for others: https://lemdro.id/post/2022094 - seems to be a few updates since my last visit.

Some folks on the !android@lemdro.id post about this the other day cautioned about a tracker present in the app.

The challenge is in elevating outright paid sponsorship and affiliate material above actual reviews.

Reviews that don't involve affiliate links or products provided by the company.

I think it's appropriate in terms of product review searches.

Which plan are you on?
