The differentiation of the Steam Deck is the game ecosystem, ability to play your existing PC game library on the go, and low game costs compared to consoles during the frequent sales. I don't think Linux is a differentiator for the St

I'd actually prefer to communicate to ChatGPT via Microsoft Paint. Much more efficient than typing.

I think most people who buy Steam Decks don’t care whatsoever about Linux and would be perfectly fine with not having control over it as long as all their games worked.

But then they wouldn’t work in the browser. There’s certainly a place for truly native apps, but there are also a lot of reasons companies keep picking Electron. Efficiency is just one consideration.

Targeting ads better. Better sentiment analysis. Custom ads written for each user based on their preferences. Features for their AR glasses. Probably try to take a piece of the Google search pie. Use this AI search to serve ads. Ads are the

Some applications benefit from the host integration. VSCode in particular, since it interacts with the terminal and other applications. I'm also assuming 1Password benefits from it as well for full OS integration.

One nice thing about targeting a web engine is that your application could potentially run in browsers too. Lots of Electron applications do this. Also you get to take advantage of the massive amount of effort that goes into web engines for

Yeah, multiple Tauri apps could theoretically share a Servo library. Though I’d also be interested to see how slim it could be with static linking. Presumably a lot of code could be compiled out with dead code analysis? Or compile flags cou

It’s still a ways off, but I’m excited for the possibility of something like Tauri using Servo natively instead of needing host browsers. A pure Rust desktop app stack with only a single browser to target sounds fantastic.

Plenty of people must find this worthwhile, otherwise sellers wouldn’t be able to find buyers and they’d be forced to reduce price if they want to sell. Plus, the listed price is often aspirational. Savvy buyers will typically negotiate the

With Apple Silicon? Yes, that is very low for typical dev usage. Gaming is another story though, or any other uses that put a lot of stress the GPU.

The situation is way more complicated for every city you’ve mentioned than you let on. I’m not going to keep on arguing with you on this because what would be the point? I attempted to have a reasonable conversation and you repeatedly showe

Nah, I’m not convinced. All I’m convinced of is that you don’t like density, not that it isn’t part of the solution. You don’t get to tell everybody else what the options are.

You raise reasonable points. It seems like a common trend is that housing prices go up anyway due to outside investors buying up property, high income workers moving in and wanting luxury apartments, etc. Seems like we need to solve the dem

Can you list some examples where a city has tried this and it failed? The only example I can think of is Minneapolis, and they have seen lower rent increases than similar cities, so it seems successful. But outside of that, I just don’t thi

So basically you want to reap all the benefits from living in a big city without any of the downsides. California has been trying this for decades and it really isn’t working out, except maybe for people with very high salaries. Increasing

I wish Microsoft would have never changed the business model of Windows away from paid upgrades. Now they have no incentive to make good upgrades. Instead, they are only incentivized to add privacy-compromising services that nobody wants or

Not really. The fact that it came out on top in an iPhone when all the others use large heat sinks and fans makes this result even more impressive.

Sure, under a heavy sustained multithreaded load it’ll throttle. But the average user will never encounter this. Typical web browsing and office tasks are bursty and mostly single threaded. Gaming is the only area where it may be more of a

That’s brutal.. I wonder why the Apple Silicon transition seemed so much smoother in comparison.

That’s just the thing. Your definition of an “objective metric” can be totally different than somebody else’s. Biden’s definition of the objective truth is very different than Trump’s. It doesn’t matter what the actual truth is. Whoever’s i

Not really. The Switch 2 has many of the most popular games available on other platforms. Plus a lot of Nintendo exclusives. They are not the same for sure, and YMMV for specific titles.

May as well get a Switch 2 at this point. Then at least it’s something new.

Who gets to decide who’s naughty? One day it’s the Biden admin, and the next it’s the Trump admin. That’s the tough part about censorship. You can leave it up to companies, but what happens when Trump allies like Elon Musk and Larry Ellison
