AI: “This is definitely a fake review because I wrote it.”

Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

I’ve been playing it a lot more since I got the OLED. It turns out that I disliked the LCD on the original Deck more than I realized. And not just the difference from OLED itself, but the screen size and 90hz refresh also. Those chunky bezels really did suck, and now the screen feels more like it “fits” the device size.

The larger battery capacity has sure helped too.

Capitalism: “No.”

How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?

Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.

Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.

Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.

The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.

It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.

YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

It’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.

I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

Apple Maps + CarPlay is so much better than Google Maps + Android Auto that the latter is embarrassing.

I say this as someone that has owned Android phones since the very beginning (HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1).

Game devs: “No thanks, we’re waiving the fees by using a different engine.”

Debian: “I’m a Docker container”

For the last X number of years, I’ve listened to people proclaim how Microsoft has changed, they’re not the '90s Microsoft anymore. They make things open source! They’re putting Linux in Windows now instead of trying to murder Linux! They’re not doing Internet Explorer things anymore! You old Slashdot readers are stuck in the past!

'90s Microsoft sends their regards.

Linus criticizing Steve on “proper journalistic practices” shows an incredible lack of self-awareness.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

Isn’t like all of Lemmy already there?

When a Steam Deck feels heavy, it’s time to start exercising.

Does Slashdot still have value? I read Slashdot way back in the '90s and early '00s.

Facebook collects all this data, yet Threads still thinks someone like me (who listens to extremely harsh underground music) wants to read posts from J-Lo.
