1. Slice both sides off the mango
2. Use the edge of a glass to separate the mango flesh from the skin
3. Take the chunk of mango in your hand and carefully cut it up with a blunt knife. Put the pieces of mango in a bowl.
4. Peel off the strip of skin left on the seed and eat the bit of mango that’s still attached to the seed.
5. Have a bath.
6. Eat the bowl of mango with a fork.

Valve have said they aren’t planning on a new Steam Deck until there’s substantial technology improvements, so I wouldn’t expect to see one for at least a couple of years yet.

Intel’s Linux support has always been pretty good. IIRC they even do open source video drivers, it’s just that nobody cared about drivers for their IGPs and they didn’t have real video cards until recently.

It was fully charged ten minutes ago, when the official Reddit app started opening.

During the official app beta, every beta tester complained about every problem they still have- poor battery life, shitty performance, unintuitive and space-inefficient UI, excessive ad placement. Reddit made exactly zero changes as a result of this feedback.

Ah, the Activision Blizzard playbook.

I’m running the Battle.net client on Linux with Wine instead of Deck and Proton, but I haven’t had any problems recently.

It last updated around two weeks ago and the previous update was two weeks before that. I’m running version 2.22.0.14235 and there’s no updates available.

There was an issue with some versions of Wine making Battle.net fail with a “This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform” message. Is that what you’re hitting, or something else?

Stadia really needed to be a monthly subscription model rather than asking people to buy games on Stadia.

Nobody wanted to buy in to a Google platform, but I might’ve signed up for a month and had a look.

He wasn’t optimistic on being able to make that work, last I heard.

He was initially talking about $3/month, but the issue is that most of the people willing to pay a monthly subscription for Reddit are the heaviest users. So instead of looking at the API usage for the average user, pricing needs to be aimed at the top 10% or 1% of users.

I’m still looking into it, gathering data etc. Unfortunately the average call rates when broken down to the top 2, 5, 10% etc of users is painting a much different picture. This is the cohort of users I would expect to possibly convert to a subscription model and the average rates for those users can be 3,4,5 even 600 hundred calls per day just by the shear amount they use the app. Some of the top users are well over 1000 per day and sometimes over 2000.

So I’m not sure yet. It would probably have to be a usage based subscription model if it was going to be anything and I’m not sure that’s worth doing. I am still looking into it but unfortunately I don’t think my earlier price points will work.

uBlock Origin doesn’t have a 30 day limit:

I’ve had to add something like #infinite_scroll_content > div:nth-of-type(1):others() for a few sites in uBlock Origin because every site wants you to just scroll the site forever now and attaches a bunch of other random articles to the bottom of any page you open.

I also block a lot of sidebars, sticky title bars that follow you as you scroll, widgets prompting me to chat with a salesweasel and so, so many cookie notice bars because sites still think they’re a get out of jail free card by EU law.

I’ve actually got quite a few Youtube lines in my filters file, because it’s my computer and it still does what I want despite the best efforts of big tech companies:

Why don’t titles sponsored by one company also do extra work for free to support a different company’s competing proprietary technology?

Gee, I wonder.

Article doesn’t say a single word about NVIDIA titles that don’t support FSR, either.

IIRC the two hardest problems in computer science are cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who don’t, and those who didn’t realise this joke is in base 3.

Your comment made me put down my phone and laugh out loud until someone came and checked that I was alright.

They’re apparently planning on hoovering up everyone else’s data while keeping theirs to themselves.

It’s Meta, after all.

There’s also the fact that Lemmy is an open source project, so people who want improved accessibility can do it themselves and send a pull request instead of duct-taping something together that sits on top of the platform or just hoping that improvements happen some day.

It makes me smile a little when I get ads for restaurants in the suburb in a completely different city where my ISP has its registered business address.

“This is a business decision, not like all those other times people protested companies.”

Nah man, this is 2023. We’ve reached new levels of enshitification. You can pay for a service and still be the product.
