Google is trash. Next phone will absolutely be one of those upcoming graphene supporting Motorola phones. I’ll grab an old phone to test out postmarketos too

Hardware is just starting to hit it’s stride. This problem will resolve itself within a couple years of new hardware releases and time for people to upgrade

So many people let perfect be the enemy of good. Firefox is great. It’s the pillar of non-Chromium of browsers. Servo and Ladybird are not there yet and will take many years to surpass Firefox if ever. A Firefox fork has a better shot than those 2

GIMP is great software. Is it just Photoshop and Affinity better than it. Not seeing as much hate on Inkscape when it’s just Adobe and Affinity as better.

OpenOffice is outdated but was good for like ~2010

A bunch of y’all would have been ragging on Blender 10 years ago. Ragging on Krita. In 2012 acting like gaming in Linux was doomed. In 2015 acting like Kdenlive would never reduce crashes and improve functionality. Acted like Darktable would never be competitive with Lightroom. Godot would be no good for anything more than 2d sidescrollers and never compete with Unity 5. A bunch of do nothing fence sitters. Firefox and GIMP developers contribute more to the good of humanity than anyone crying about them in this thread

If you’re offered the job, take it I guess because no one expects you to succeed. If the internal expectations are to focus on the following: Minecraft, CoD, Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, Candy Crush, then maybe this person will excel in that direction. Also all those being video games that found success before Microsoft

Actually trying to make Xbox a success, it’s been nearly 13 years of trying to course correct and probably a good amount north of 100 billion dollars and still no strong consistent lineup of new releases. Fable can knock it out the park but that would just be one single player AAA game hit for Xbox after 13 years. So I imagine her expectations are going to be in managing what’s proven profitable and winding down what’s been proven to be outside of what they’re good at

The main thing I’ve seen are people having issues with tap to pay after a couple of years. I almost never use my phone for payments and I’ve only had the phone since early, December. I’m not super concerned. Phone has been good to me

There’s very little content being produced for 8k. It’ll be nice someday when it’s the only option for televisions so it’s available at the cheapest 30"+ panels to the most expensive large ones. Play some old PC games at 8k 120hz HDR on a 150" television for the novelty and then 90% of the time on a 3440x1440 monitor

Still waiting for FFIX pixel hd remake. Or update the regular FFIX with that faster combat animations mod so it’s pleasant out the box

Forza Motorsport being a flop was most upsetting to me. Probably the best funded simcade game next to Gran Turismo with a long development time and they fall flat and it still doesn’t even work on Linux. Forza Motorsport should be low hanging fruit with their experience and budget and they still managed to drop the ball

Just tried. Free version, no sub. Works well. I use GeForce Now like twice a year. Not something to sub to all the time. Something to sub like one month a year to when it’s the best option you got

Stopped buying Ubisoft games for years. Don’t even play the ones I already have. It’s been a crappy company since at least Assassin’s Creed 2 single player always online pioneering

Windows won’t turn around and go back to a simpler advertisement-free offline account model this decade. Core Windows developers may know that they’re making things worse. Leadership won’t care as long as they get temporary boosts in numbers for office, copilot, and OneDrive subscriptions

Amazing thing for open platform operating systems when Windows Phone failed (MS managed that like trash. It didn’t have a chance)

Good for me. It’s almost like how all the Switch Pro rumors became Switch 2 rumors and people being in denial it could be 2 because that’d be too weak in the year of release. Switch 2 is fine. Designs at this point are advanced. No sudden switching to 2030 GPU/CPU designs. You’ll get AMD 2027 designs in 2030 and budget gaming PCs in 2030+ will feast because of that

Me having spent zero dollars on this. Only interaction ever was installing that hangar thing back when it was the only thing. Maybe there was some demo when the space station first became available and some fps gameplay test.

Still looking forward to it. If the story is good, works on Linux, I’ll buy it. I remember a decade ago being worried the Haswell and Maxwell PC I was putting together wouldn’t be good enough when Star Citizen would drop. Not very concerned anymore

That is one of the first things I noticed when I’ve switched between ATI/AMD and Nvidia early in my Linux usage time. Now I’ve swapped between Nvidia, AMD, and Intel with problems in the past few years
