This is absolutely the case. Say what you will about China but at least it’s not totally random in its decision making, self destructive, and openly hostile (it does that in secret). On all counts it’s a better partner than the USA right now.
Yeah I’ve spent considerably more time on BG3 than any other game I’ve played on this console generation, but still haven’t finished it. I could have gone for something shorter, but it’s kinda nice to come back to it every few months and put a few more hours in.
Who’s the hot one?
Also auto updating block lists and topic filter lists powered by crowdsourced tagging are very important features these day.
And customized feeds are nice for when you want to add an algorithm (or many different ones) rather than just the usual default list of all skeets sorted in order with no algorithm behind it.
You get what you pay for. Pretty much every Zwave device I’ve tried has worked as advertised and even had a surprising amount of extra useful features I had never considered.
When we talk about FOSS, we talk about Free, Open Source Software. Plex is free but not open source, and it’s free price is not enshrined in it’s license as with other FOSS software, which means that there could be a rug pull at any time. But I think that’s unlikely due to its business model.
Jellyfin is FOSS software meaning it will stay free and open source due to its license.
Mine isn’t any slower than the AppleTV I used before. No issues there either. My only wishes would be for it to have parental controls and let me change the screensaver.
Maybe I got lucky with my Philips oled running Android TV, but it’s pretty quick, no ads other than recommended shows from networks, and I can choose which ones. I don’t recall it asking about data collection, but whatever the streaming services are doing it already. I like having all the streaming apps built in, then I don’t have to manage another device for this. Overall I’m surprisingly happy with it.
Would be hilarious if they tried. I wouldn’t put it past them.
I’m with you man, I’m all in favor of the idea. It’s just that I’m pretty sure that Nintendo looked at that market and decided that the risk to their core business was too great to take the plunge.
If anything, I think they’d just release their first party titles on other platforms before releasing a first party emulator (though I’d welcome either).
I don’t think I’d buy a Switch either if I could get the games easily and reliably elsewhere, like on the steamdeck.
You are clearly not in this target market, and that’s okay. You will be able to emulate most of this on your handheld of choice anyway.
The whole point of consoles is to have an easy to use out of the box experience. As soon as 3rd party hardware gets involved, that goes out the window. Look at the epic failure of steam boxes. Rumors are that the next iteration will be first party hardware for exactly this reason.
Bluesky also has no algorithm in its “followed” feed. Any algorithm is opt-in.
Looking and doing are two different things, but I’m sure this will increase too. I left under Bush after the 2000 financial crisis and have no regrets.
It’s more like a better Twitter
Mastodon and Xitter are missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.
These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.
Yes, its federation is more or less bullshit, but for most users, that feature is a distant priority when compared to the rest.
It just gives you a checkmark, nothing else AFAIK.
You put a snippet of code on your website.
Bluesky has some very powerful features here like auto updating block lists which you can subscribe to and which will automatically remove trolls for you. And they are policing hate speech and harassment.
I run Zwave and love it. Advantages:
