Matrix is so bad though. Slow, sometimes just doesn’t load, bridges are crap… Why would I want to switch to it?

Not interested in any fledgeling platform that doesn’t have a fart app, sorry
I said that the privacy concerns being worth the cost of a “smart”-free TV means nothing to the majority of people.
You said that this isn’t true, and that their main customer is commercial places.
I suggested, in response to this, that the majority of people don’t own such commercial places.
What part are you not understanding?
Yes because the majority own/buy TV’s commercial places like offices and stadiums.
Because words have consequences. It’s not just about “snowflakes”, it’s also misinformation. Do you not remember what happened during the Covid lockdowns? Do you not remember how Trump gained power?
You are of course free to ignore everything anyone says, unfortunately many people hang onto their every word and before you know it, being trans is now considered a mental illness by a load of people who get to make decisions about what happens to trans people when they need medical care.
Which is an entirely fair compromise for people who use Lemmy, but means precisely nothing to the majority.
At only double the price of an equivalently priced smart one! Bargain /s
And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?
You’ll not have to download anything then, AMD drivers are baked in. You’ll literally be able to boot your OS for the first time, install a game and it’ll get full performance off the bat
Waiting for the army of MS shills coming to tell you that they can’t possibly use Linux because of the myriad high end professional-grade software they use which means absolutely no one could ever go near Linux either. Because that’s really important when it comes to getting more life out of your shitty 2gb Atom netbook
If you just install Linux on your Mac and have a dark Qt theme set, Qbittorrent will also be dark.
I thought we’d blocked ads already?
Dark Reader extension turns all websites into dark mode whether they like it or not.
Checkmate!
I’m really curious to see what their regular mouse is like purely so I can recommend it to others (The amount of people I show my Classic to and they’re immediately put off because it’s a ball not a rodent is crazy). Wish there were more to choose from as well but I’m glad at least someone is doing it!
Ploopy mice are a real thing and run QMK. I have their Classic trackball and it’s an absolute beast
You can do that with a Pinecil too, there is a web-bluetooth frontend available for the V2 (the V1 doesn’t have Bluetooth).
In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.
Well, I have to either attach it to my phone with a clip of some kind (which makes for sometimes questionable ergonomics or for a very wobbly, insecure setup that makes me fear I’ll drop my phone) Or I have to put my phone down on something, which for the sort of thing I use devices like this for just isn’t doable.
I’ve found clip-on ones to be very insecure and wobbly generally. I have an 8bitdo controller with their phone mount clip thing and the setup just feels way too top-heavy like I’m going to drop my phone at any moment.
Besides aren’t you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you
Which is exactly the point I’m making. I want to split that battery life up between devices, so my phone is less likely to die on me. I can deal without a handheld game console but if my phone taps out it’s more of a problem.
Another unsung nicety related to this one is that you can fully update your system but only start using it once you reboot. Too many times I updated the kernel on Arch only to find everything stopped working until I rebooted, hence why routine updates can just be done automatically with no issues to the user.
ARM boards are just a pain to use right now. There’s always some stupid quirk or driver problem and that’s if you even manage to find an up to date image for your chosen OS that works (because I can just about guarantee the ‘generic ARM’ one won’t). Feels like every few months someone announces something that’ll make all these problems go away yet here we are.
External Bluetooth controllers are always a pain and those clip-on ones are always awful. Plus it’s splitting the battery life between two devices, nothing bugs me more than using my phone for everything only to be shocked that the battery dies twice a day.
Honestly if Discord went away I’d switch to posting notes on a cork board on the wall before I switched to Matrix in its current state.
