24GB? My grandma’s desktop is still on 6 GB RAM (she only uses the browser and media player).

I would recommend the following commercial games with fair monetizaion (B2P, DLC only)

The Final Earth:

Both are well made tower builders in the vein of SimTower (they both have excellent PC versions as well).

The price is only worth it if you want a phone that stands out and is unique.

Otherwise it’s simply too expensive for what it is.

Smartphones are a mature market and outside of “status symbol” and brand considerations, it honestly makes no sense for the vast majority of people to spend more than USD $400 equivalent on a smartphone.

Even camera quality is increasingly becoming good enough on mid-range devices.

Considering Google’s failure to support the tablet form factor on Android (many 1st party Google apps have much better versions for the iPad), I am skeptical this will lead to anything good.

I guess we are sort of on the same page then. :)

I have no issues with LW (and most other instance). I mod/curate multiple communities on LW.

I definitely do not intend to “run down” LW (if I am understanding the meaning of “run down” correctly).

Definitely. I’ve been on the Threadiverse for a while now.

The problem is that ML is such a prominent instance and the lead devs are degenerate tankies.

And I don’t use the word degenerate lightly or as a generic insult.

Claiming (without irony) that North Korea is good place to live and their political system has been discredited by a vast capitalist conspiracy led by the BIA is a sign of true degeneracy. It doesn’t even matter if they are engaging in demagoguery or not.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B. Clients can directly play the media without any need for realtime transcoding. I could 4K transcoding being challenging for older Raspberry Pi SBCs.

You most definitely can.

But that doesn’t change the fact Lemmy’s devs are a bunch of degenerate tankies.

Very interesting.

Didn’t think such a “dirty” method of moving from Lemmy to Piefed would work

is something I’ve never seen in any other online platform

It’s not that common, but I’ve seen it in other forums. One example would be Somethingawful, it even has a comedic bent to it.

I am assuming the modlog concept for lemmy was taken from SA.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

I am Ukrainian. I hope the lemmy devs and all tankies get to experience russian genocidal imperialism firsthand.

Do you see why this is “literally” an issue?

I’ve been using DietPi on my SBC home servers (NAS, media service, pi-hope, etc.) since 2017 or so.

It’s an excellent distro for headless operation and makes CLI easy to use for somewhat casual users.

With a quote post, the post you are quoting is fully (text, avatar image) nested in your post.

It was commonly used on Twitter (I deleted my accounts some time ago).

This would be a really neat feature and would allow for the best of both worlds so to speak.

No idea, I do use Mastodon relatively regularly, but I am not on top of development discussions.

This was news for me so I decided to share. :)

I could see book-style foldables becoming more popular if the pride goes down, I thought they were useful in showroom testing.

But you are right, prices are still very high.

Findroid - a Jellyfin client for Android.

SimpleTextEditor - open source notepad type app for Android.

The larger book-style foldables are really the ones we should be questioning, considering their price, durability issues and lack of a clear reason to exist.

I am not sure I agree.

Back in 2014/2015, we still used the term “phablet”, fast-forward ~10 years and almost all smartphones have become “phablets” with compact devices (what would be a regular device in 2014) have become extremely niche.

I’ve only used the book-style foldables in a Samsung showroom, they seemed fine, just very expensive.

The price should eventually come down.

I’ve only used it as a search engine for finding public data sources and general business research.

The search result summaries and search results categorization style is helpful.

For this use case it works much better than ChatGPT and Le Chat.
