I think the stuff about "experimenting" with limited editions is because they're trying to find ways to make it hard for scalpers to buy them. That's why they've got stuff about having a Steam Account in good standing etc.. Maybe it's actually working!

It absolutely discusses phone size - in some detail both in the intro and as part of the reviews.

GeForce Now is Nvidia's game streaming service.

I've been playing more single player games. My PC has mostly been for multiplayer stuff with friends - Siege, Deep Rock etc. My Deck has opened up time to a load of Single Player things - AAA things like Spiderman, Control, Mad Max and indie stuff like Black Skylands.

Plus I had a load of work travel in the first part of this year. The Deck made hotel rooms much more pleasant!

Desktop Linux had been a bit behind the others on display features due to the legacy of X. As everybody moves more to Wayland that better enables these sorts of things, they're catching up.

I think you're close - someone well travelled is someone who has a broader view of how the world works than just the one country they were brought up in.

That happens when they go to countries and actually experience them. I've just been to the Canary Islands for a week - I went airport to hotel, sat beside the pool for a week and then went home again. This was lovely and relaxing (which I needed) but did nothing for expanding my cultural horizons.

Great article. Similar to "NASA's booster size is the result of the size of a horse's ass": https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/4-feet-85-inches-space-shuttle-horses-ass-william-batch-batchelder

I don't know, Sam Darnold had some positive traits and needed a fresh start. Maybe in Shanahan's system he'll look awesome if (when?) Purdy goes down.

It's a core capability, but it's a lot of work due to all the different types of thing you can post.

An app that can read posts and write comments is still useful without submitting posts, but an app that can submit posts but not read them is pretty useless. So, when you're making stuff you do reading posts first, then you do writing comments, then you do submitting posts. That makes sense, right?

Let's say it takes a few weeks to do each, and you've got to the stage where you've done reading and comments, but not submitting. That's useful already! You're not done, but what you've got is still useful for people and people want it, so why not release it at that point? Then carry on working and release the remaining features after.

Releasing as early as you can is good for everyone - the developer starts getting income for the work they're doing, they learn about bugs and issues earlier in the development process and we get to start using it sooner. For me Sync without submitting is still better than the other apps, so I want to use it.

Which he is now also doing - one time payment to remove ads permanently.

I think we lose sight of why "powermods" gained power: they built the big successful communities. Reddit was largely successful due to some fantastic communities being built up, and that takes work. We need that work on Lemmy just as much as we needed it on Reddit.

Yeah, it's not ideal if a small number of people control a large number of communities but we should understand why they got there, and I think the structure of Lemmy is likely to make it a bit less prevalent.

I've got it installed as a PWA (Firefox Android). It's great but is there any way to get it to open links in my proper browser rather than the web view type thing?
