Lemmy users: no, it’s everyone else who is out of touch

Right… So what was your point again?

This makes no sense. Anything you can build Linux into, you can do the same to android

It doesn’t matter, you fork into something else entirely. It’s a hell of a lot easier to leverage the android ecosystems in a diverging fork than it is to build a whole new niche platform

Yeah when are Linux phones going to be compatible

Try reading what I said

AOSP makes a lot more sense to me. We just need to adopt Graphene or Lineage en masse and start contributing to support more devices, grow that out into a real alternative with support for the already existing android app ecosystem, and real alternatives to Google Play services

I mean, that was the goal of the original steam machines from 2012 or whatever

See it was the lack of dpad for me. The touchpads+gyro finally made high fidelity controller aim possible and fun, but no dpad meant I still needed a regular controller for 2d games

Do you have an issue with graphene?

Or guessing it wrong, but now my train of thought is derailed and I forgot where I was going so now nobody gets to know

Unironically this isn’t far off. Wii Us are somewhat rare and sought after these days. It’s one of the better ways to play Wii games on HDTVs iirc

We have a winner

Used before is way different than heard of. If I’ve used it before and liked it, sure I will favor that brand based on personal exp. If I didn’t like it, of course I avoid it.

If I’ve only heard of it, that means absolutely nothing to me and I’m immediately skeptical. If someone has told me a brand is good, I’d consider it an informal review and it holds a small amount of weight.

Functionally, the brand is only useful for identifying and matching the products to the reviews and research I’d done on it, it’s just a label.

Price to ‘value’, weight/size, performance, reviews, etc.

How else would you do it?

I just spent 2 hrs last night in my Kali vm, trying to find an exploit on a web server. It was running Laravel 11.30 and vulnerable to a URL query to change the env to dev. So yeah peak of mt stupid is accurate

Everytime I go back to IRC every channel is either dead, or one guy is there to yell at you for chatting ‘wrong’. I wish it was as good as it used to be
