For the record, you don't have to take "everything else" out first. It's actually quite accessible once removing the Steam Deck back plate, which is easily done with a Phillips head screwdriver. The bulk of the 2-4 hour estimate on iFixit is dealing with the battery adhesive. (source: I've opened my Steam Deck to swap the SSD, and I just opened it to attempt a band-aid fix to the right bumper after dropping the Deck directly on it while waiting for the part to restock)
Realistically, going down to 12GB System RAM from 15GB is not very noticeable compared to going from 1GB to 4GB VRAM and so I think it should be preferred. If you ran into issues with a very RAM heavy game (unlikely), you could change it to 14GB + 2GB, or go all the way back to 15GB + 1GB. If you are using the Steam Deck on an external display that is higher resolution than its native 1280x800 display, you should probably do 12GB + 4GB to make room for higher resolution textures. Haven't tested this, but if there were noticable differences, I would think these are the most likely scenarios for them to crop up.
Or the technology could just share the information it needs to share and not everything and anonymise the data ;)
~~It does. If it "anonymized" the data before broadcasting it to the federation, usernames would not be valid across federated instances.~~
~~If I post on instance A as "John" but my username gets anonymized as "UserA893SAJ", any instance other than A has no idea that that is John, and therefore it is just some anonymous user.~~
~~It's totally possible, but that's not what Lemmy wants to be~~
Edit: Yeah no, in cases where attribution is not necessary, like upvote/downvote, they really should be anonymized between Lemmy instances.
I wonder why it isn't at the moment. Possibly just didn't have the foresight. I could look into contributing that possibly if someone isn't working on it already
Still not a feature users care about.
What planet are you on? What "users"? Lemmy users? Obviously they do!
Twitter users? Who cares!? Privacy, data ownership, apps that don't fucking implode and DDOS themselves because the owner is an absolute moron, etc. may not be features most Twitter users care about.
But, why should anyone here care? Fediverse projects are not in a market competition to make money. These projects exist to add value to the lives of its users without perverse corporate incentives ruining everything.
I don't think I will find myself asking, "What app would Twitter users want me to design?", ever. Why would you want to recreate something as awful as Twitter?
Yeah, if you copy Twitter's UI users will expect it to behave like twitter.
Again, breaking from that expectation is not an inherently bad thing. Fediverse projects are not looking for some stupid IPO pump and dump exit strategy.
Decentralization is not a feature, it's an implementation detail.
Decentralization is an implementation detail to achieve the feature that is "an online service that doesn't treat you like cattle and owns all of your fucking data". Clear?
This is not a matter of good vs bad, or right vs wrong. It is about expected vs unexpected. The users expected a similar experience to Twitter but the goal of Mastodon is not to emulate Twitter.
A lot of the UI/UX may resemble Twitter, but the high level decision making, design, and stakeholders of the project are completely different.
Do you mean to say that Mastodon and similar projects have to adopt an entirely different UI/UX that is unintuitive in order to produce something different just because Twitter is what they expect? Are you aware that big tech pours in inordinate amounts of money into psychology and UI/UX research to ensure they provide experiences with the lowest amount of friction possible?
This feels rather unreasonable, uninformed, and confused in motivation.
Yeah. They don't really mind Israel killing non-white people and also concentrating Jewish people under a single state https://youtu.be/N3Taq2bekjQ
