Are we going to get one of these threads every few days?

Bro you’re the one who made the system slow paced by defunding it during a pandemic.

Get the fuck out of here. I’m so sick of the cons. Buck a beer is not going to help me when I’m in dire need of medical assistance.

Well, the problem is honestly just Windows. It’s not designed for mobile or touch interfaces at all, and all the telemetry and crap bloatware degrades the battery performance. If you get rid of all of that stuff it’s actually on par with the Linux equivalent.

I dual boot my Ally and I actually spent time messing around with different OSes. ChimeraOS was not ready when I had initially given it a shot (around March) and it crashed constantly and didn’t have full support for things like RGB. I also tried Bazzite at that time and it was a similarly strange experience. It’s gotten much better in the last few months. I’ve been running Bazzlite on my Ally since early July. HHD has progressed immensely and offers a lot of good control over the device.

If you start off with the IoT version of Windows, it comes with essentially nothing. The store app isn’t installed, but neither is Teams or Paint. You don’t actually have to spend time “debloating” it, since it comes more or less bloat-free. You actually have to spend more time installing dependencies and drivers than removing things. Run the telemetry disabling script and then you have a version of Windows that still sucks to use in general, but is much less awful on battery life.

Bazzite is fine. It’s serviceable enough to get the job done. The hardware is supported through a bunch of different emulation tools and bespoke applications like HandHeld Daemon for hooking into power draw and managing extra buttons.

Bazzite is based on the Holographic base that SteamOS uses, but opts for a Fedora-based immutable back-end over Arch. Running SteamOS itself is going to be better once Valve implements native support for all of these things that are covered by HandHeld Daemon, at least in theory.

Due to the non-optimal nature of both Windows and Linux at this stage, they tend to perform about equally.

I get that the Fediverse is disproportionately made up of Linux users, but the reality right now is just that no operating system is fine-tuned for the hardware its running on besides SteamOS and the Deck itself. It’s not better yet, but it’s getting better at a massive clip - which is above and beyond whatever Microsoft is doing (looks like nothing) to improve their software for the form factor.

You calling somebody out publicly is entirely to illicit a reaction from the crowd. Surely, a direct message would have been more appropriate for a disagreement over a series of downvotes?

By doing this publicly you’ve definitely made the situation way, way worse than it had to be.

I disagree with bringing in more redditors to this site. I think the community ambassador system is a quick way of creating a bunch of powermoderators on a system that’s supposed to be designed to resist that kind of behavior and centralization.

If you hate being downvoted because of disagreement, why would you want to bring more users who default to that behavior?

I also do not believe you should have any more power or capacity in the fediverse. It’s clear to me by your behavior in this thread that even basic things like being downvoted can set you off and make you decide to try to start a witch hunt.

Reddit promoted “downvote to disagree” and this is a consequence of the userbase having migrated from there.

You can say whatever you want about how it should work, but the bottom line is that most people using vote-based systems are voting up and down based on if they agree with what’s posted. It hasn’t been “downvote for off-topic” for over a decade.

This guy wants to bring more redditors to the site, the people actively perpetuating downvote to disagree.

Well, you are resorting to actively aggressive behavior in response to internet points.

Can you please explain why it matters?

It’s so weird to keep track of that, and petty on both sides if it has been happening for months like you say.

I also think you are placing way too high importance on vote counts, and specifically pinging people is not the way to handle your disapproval.

I am not catloaf but I have a problem with people literally combing vote logs to call users out in comments. That’s toxic verging on obsessive.

Absolutely not the way to act as the face of a project. It accomplishes nothing besides making you look incredibly petty and dissuades people from supporting your work.

It also helps that nutomic and Dessalines are both certifiable.

It’s kind of a shame. I really like the platform and the concepts inherent to federated social media, but it really sucks that the maintainers of the codebase are hostile to any ideology but their own.

That’s also fair, because I think Lemmy has a massive sourcing problem in general.

People straight up post propaganda. I get that every news source is biased but when the url is like therealtruth.xyz, it starts to get increasingly suspect.

Nobody wants to read articles, they just want to read headlines and react.

You could post an archive.is version of whatever you wanted to discuss and 85% of the comments will still not have actually read the article. It has nothing to do with availability of information and more to do with the laziness of internet users in general.

Fearsome wizard powers.

I like “Product Degradation” way better than “enshittification”.

Yep! Sure is!

They remastered Star Trek as well as The Next Generation, but claimed that the physical sales did not cover the costs which were purportedly around 10 million for each series.

They opted to not to continue to remaster any of the shows that came afterward, namely Voyager and Deep Space Nine. That’s where the fan community picked up the slack and made the AI upscales.

AI upscaling is probably just much cheaper and easier to do. I mean I do AI upscaling myself. The older Star Trek series that will never get a full Blu-Ray remaster/re-release has copies that have been upscaled from SD to HD and they are pretty flawless, especially considering it’s a fan project.

That being said I’ve also seen the other side of the spectrum, where they AI upscaled King of the Hill and there was a lot of really weird artifacting and stuff going on.

Really sad to see studios just cheap out on high resolution releases. It just makes them look bad in the long run and makes me less likely to buy physical media.

Wow this is an excellent tool, thanks for sharing!
