Can confirm the LTE models are totally worth it especially if you have AirPods and some music streaming service (or get a model with enough storage for your local songs). It’s amazing being able to just walk out of the house, still have music, notifications, the ability to call emergency services, directions, and even my 2FA unlocks when needed all on my wrist, all day. And unlimited data is only a $10 addon to my existing provider line.

Hearing it from real people running the real companies we’re used to hearing about in reviews or even being a patron of, really helps bring the reality of what’s happening front and center. Its also fascinating seeing the insulation of the larger companies like Corsair and how different but also alike they speak about the uncertainty of the future.

If your app doesn’t respond to SIGTERM gracefully, you need to fix your app. The system did its job as documented.

714·1 year agoWhy is adding a button a problem for those who don’t want to pay for it? It’s not like the button is in the way or used in any game for anything else… why do we have to complain about a harmless button that isn’t even branded??

There’s a more comprehensive breakdown from yachtclub themselves here I was off a bit in my specific examples but overall they do a good job breaking down why their game fits and breaks the mold with lots of examples. The game is a lot more faithful to NES than the vast majority of indie pixel art games. There were a few late-gen NES titles that are relatively unknown but look way more detailed and complex than the typical NES game too.
This is why shovel knight looks and feels like the old classics it’s imitating. They artificially limited themselves to color pallets and some technical limits that old systems had. I think they ended up using 18 colors instead of 16, and double the sprites on screen, among some of them. Indie games usually just go with what looks good and use modern limits because they can. Most the time it’s not a choice, they just do what works and that’s ok too.

1·1 year agoThe US has no official language because it is supposed to be the land of the free, where anyone can come to escape tyranny. This is another dog whistle (siren really) that will be used by the racists, bigots, and fascists to continue a campaign against minorities and promote greater deportation.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck (upcoming SteamOS beta for other devices)
1·2 years agoThis explains why the huge delay from their promise to release steamOS installer for generic PC systems. It’s probably taken a lot of behind the scenes work to make it device agnostic as well as supporting specific hardware from 3rd parties. This is a huge win though, most deck competitors running windows are hamstringing themselves so having more options in the market will accelerate the support and adoption of more open standards.
