You need to go out more. Not every post about something that’d be neat if the world worked subtly, but radically different must’ve been made by a hexbear’an.

They actually nailed the phrasing, it’s not socialism, but it has the taste of it.

technology@hexbear.net•Qwen 3.8 27B is the DeepSeek moment for local models. It matches frontier intelligence from just a few months ago and outperforms Google’s current frontier model.English

Still impressive, just not a leap you’re selling here.

Games@hexbear.net•We really lost something when handhelds stopped being pocketable. (a rant)English
1·2 months agoSince around 2013 one can just stream in FullHD from your desktop to your phone, and all you needed is a 200g Sixaxis (and a video cable if you wanna dock). Since around 2018, one cna do that in 4K. On a rare occasion when you’re flying, you can run the weaker titles through GameNative/Winlator/etc. There isn’t even a debate on whether you need a crappy actively cooled half-a-kilo brick with a screen that’s strictly worse than your previous smartphone’s or a good controller for your phone. Just which one. And they come in all prices and sizes, starting from around $25/50g. You don’t have to plan your trip around tossing that in your bag.
Your rant sounds like one from a parallel reality where internet didn’t take off. USA?

Android@lemdro.id•Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes senseEnglish
1·9 months agoIf you actually tried to do anything useful on a 2004 machine, you wouldn’t post that.
I take it you’re not the one triaging the subsequent slop. I am.
Of course I am a lurker, your ability to accept criticism is so outstanding I get banned in every community after 1-2 comments.

Don’t worry, there are multiple layers of protection. So far they’re doing great, even Vector, even now: https://iris.who.int/server/api/core/bitstreams/50484602-5796-40de-9151-b41f1ffe83cd/content
