I'd say the D-Pad's positioning seems fine to me—that said, I've mostly played 3D games on it so I'm probably the wrong one to ask, hah.
The trackpads are super cool for using desktop mode though!
When there's a subreddit about something you're interested in, but it's run by mods who enforce a extensive collection of esoteric posting rules.
We're sorry, but you've posted about Topic C on a Wednesday, which is strictly prohibited. Discussion of Topic C is only allowed in the megathread which is only open for comments on the first Saturday of odd numbered months. Didn't you read our rules?
Not sure if it's sacrilege, but the Steam Deck has finally fulfilled my UMPC dream. It's amazing to just have a portable Linux workstation where everything works out of the box.
That said, my ancient dream device of yore would have to be those Windows CE powered palmtops of the 90s. I'd love to see that form factor make a comeback.
Let's consider your email example -- I don't like a lot of stuff Google has done. By your proposed rules, should, say, ProtonMail block all emails from Gmail to prove a point?
I remember it well, and I was annoyed by it!
But in the end, I'd argue Google dropping XMPP simply restored the status quo: XMPP went back to being the same niche thing it was before Google started supporting it.
The Fediverse is just a term for “social networks that use ActivityPub”
Imagine if Facebook offered RSS feeds. That’d be nice right? It wouldn’t ruin anyone’s experience if they started supporting an open standard like that.
Supporting ActivityPub is no different. It will let people on third party clients connect to Facebook properties. Don’t want to do that? You don’t have to!
Completely agree on all points.
An additional one I’d argue is a huge part of HN’s success is their employment of a full-time moderator, dang, who does a great job.
Right, but when you try on glasses you don’t need lenses pre-made, you can get away with just blanks.
For the Vision Pro, the lenses are required to even try the headset, so there’s a chicken and egg problem: people aren’t going to want to pay for lenses just for a try-on.
This is actually why I’m excited for ActivityPub in Threads. I’m hoping that it can function as a gateway drug to the Fediverse.
“Like Threads? Then continue to follow all your friends there while moving to an ad-free Mastodon client!”
I love the idea of this, but the only reason I check Instagram is to see what my friends are posting, which I couldn’t do on an alternative, sadly.
I’m really wondering how the prescription lens part will work. At WWDC, they custom made lenses based on your glasses prescription, but the cost of them doing that for anyone who makes an appointment seems excessive.
I'm glad you mentioned this, because this seems like the most important point that seems to often get lost. This is primary a potential issue for Mastodon servers, not Lemmy/Kbin/etc.
