EA and Ubisoft, some kernel level anti cheat, and typically speaking, i dont enjoy games that have tower defense mechanics (and i hate when its shoehorned in, e.g Monster Hunter Rise). Korean MMOs. Mobas in general

employment potential and learning are generally problems if you are young. if you are old, the time investment to learn a new language is generally not self beneficial as your time of employability starts to dwindle.

Linux ultimately will have to run into the situation of if the people want the newer language to become the mainstream, they need to be more proactive at the development of the kernel itself instead of relying on yhe older generation, who does ot the way they only know how, as relearning and rewriting everything ultimately to them, a waste of time at their point in life.

think like proton was for gaming. you dont(and will not) convince all devs to make linux compatible games using a vulkan branch. the solution in that front was to create a translation layer to offload most of that work off because its nonsensical to expect every dev to learn vulkan. this would be applied moreso to the linux kernel, so the only realistic option (imo) is that the ones who are working in rust need to make the rust based kernel and hope that it takes off in a few years to actually gain traction.

i believe my neopets account is older than my youtube account, so that. actually went to playing neopets again fairly recently to see how its changed

id imagine it would work till google force deprecates it due to not being updated in a recent time window, which them it would be delisted on the play store

i mean, id be happy returning to subsidizing education, space exploration, and taxing the rich 84%+

the portability was the implied aspect of the original post, as I didn’t just say iPad, but went out of my way to specifically say ipad mini/smaller iPad, as these two devices are mainly used by people on the go, as they fit well. It’s the primary reason why the iPad mini in particular is advertised to women, as they often carry the one bag that can carry it (their purse) which may possibly not carry the larger ipads (11 or 13" ones). The target audience has primarily been those doing this stuff on the go.

It doesn’t solve any problem with at-home media consumption because there is no problem.

so why bring it up as a usecase for folding phones, the point is getting that screen space on the go.

It sounds like you have massively fallen for the marketing here.

I don’t even have a folding phone, and only recently got a tablet strictly for reading purposes, but i don’t throw out the people who do consume content away from home. Like I said, the purpose of the device brings the new ability to not bring something else with you. the product addresses a niche, and by using an example that doesnt cover the niche doesn’t invalidate the one major usecase it has in the first place. I’m like on the extremely far end of the folding phones target audience (prefers small phones, uses desktop PC, no personal TV) so thinking that i’ve fallen for marketing is a laughing statement. I just acknowlege there are people who actually use larger screens away from home, and this product is directed towards them. Folding phones stay a niche because the target audience is a niche. It’s not meant to cover the general market unless it also competes in cost. It was my kind of people (people who prefer smaller phones) who were secrificed for larger screens (e.g iphone mini being canceled in favor of a iphone plus model) so I know damn well there is a market out there where people prefer watching stuff on a larger screen. it’s one of the main reasons why average screen size has gotten bigger and bigger.

it’s to give an example, some people may not have a tv all over their house, which to go into other rooms, they have other options. if it’s not a phone, it can potentially be other devices like a laptop and not just necessarily a tablet. The problem is using such a very specific usecase (someone who uses a tablet to watch things, ONLY at home, prefers to not use a TV, prefers to not use a desktop computer connected to a monitor and does NOT have a laptop, or chooses to not use the size of said laptop) is a very very super specfic usecase. Especially in a world now with WFM, the number of people with laptops is likely a lot higher too. The folding phone solves the problem as I stated before, those who choose to not want to carry something extra on the go, but get the extra screen real estate. At home use has to compete with several alternatives, and if you are considering using a tablet at home a lot, the novelty of a folding phone was never even in your market.

why bring up an argument for sole home use for an object that is more often used on the go? Especially in context of a tablet, when if you were at home and wanted a large form factor screen, the TV becomes an option.

but you have to carry 2x the items, which is the main thing. only one of the choices you can functionally do without a bag at all. You’re more or less making the DSLR argument where you could claim there’s no point on having good cameras on phones because you can carry a DSLR on you and take significantly better photos. Sometimes a choice is made for the ability to not carry something.

i means cops exist to protect and serve, whether they actually do that is a different story

be a windows based machine protected by crowdstrike as a security service, and received said botched update

generally speaking, id imagine youre a person why often watches content on a ipad mini/small ipad, its neat to have all the screen space in your pocket. if you arent that kind of user then there really isnt a purpose for it.

as a person who has it installed and has an OLED monitor, am not pictured. Of the few things why I haven’t bothered connecting my laptop to my monitor ever yet, though it happened recently for KDE plasma

whose throwing away stuff every six months, hardware cycles arent even remotely that short, hell, moores law was never that short in the existence of said law. and its not like I dont have my fair share of preventing hardware waste (my litteral job is the refurbishing and resell of computer hardware, im legitimately doing more than the averge person and trying to maintain older hardware several fold). But its not my job to dictate what is fun and whats not. whats fun for you isnt exactly everyone elses definition of fun.

less on general software but more in the gaming side, why target the igpu then. although its common, even something near a decade old would be an instant uplift gaming performance wise. the ones that typically run into performamce problems mostly are laptop users, the industry that is the most wasteful with old hardware as unless you own a laptop like a framework, the user constantly replaces the entire device.

I for one always behind lengthening the lifetime of old hardware (hell i just replaced a decade old laptop recently) but there is an extent of explectations to have. e.g dont expect to be catered igpu wise if you willingly picked a pre tiger lake igpu. the user intentionally picked the worse graphics hardware, and catering the market to bad decisions is a bad move.

some pci-e device. but the main chips are probably on the other side of the board.

ofc the cosplays have an effect as well, but theyre typically the minority at a convention vs those playing TCGs or Video games, who are often the majority.

the triple threat funny moment was San Jose 2016. Genesis 3 (Super smash bros tournament) took place at the same time and venue as Furcon, as well as a female volleyball tournament, all 3 generating sweat differently.

i mean it doesnt have to be anime conventions its usually any kind of gathering where said yopic. of convention has a gathering of introverts, in particular, ones that have 0 sense of self awareness.

in terms of worst to less worse:

Card game tournament(sweaty, generally lack of AC, small venue cause cheap) < Video Game tournament (similar but in a room full of electronics, usually helped out by that their venue is larger) < anime conventions

yes, but the key difference is how its. typically used. reddit/lemmy is generally following specific topics while other forms of social media tend to follow specific people or organizations

so yes, both imo are forms of social media, but brcause of how you interact more with it is different, it feels like it’s not the same.
