The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs. by ejl in c/gaming@beehaw.org

I'm glad that somebody said it. Lemmy is becoming quite a shit show in this regard. These FOSS enthusiasts and Linux master race people are really starting to deter me from the platform.

I love FOSS software! I love Linux! I hate people telling other people how to think or what to spend their time with. Most of the people in this thread can fuck right off.

Windows 11 is my favorite Windows release ever. They finally focused their efforts on modern, forward thinking design.

Fight me.

I've been on my own instance since I started using Lemmy a few months ago and it's amazing to just... do whatever I want.

Just thought I'd share something I thought was pretty interesting. I have a mother in law who is... well let's just say she's a stereotypical older mom who doesn't own a computer, just an iPad. During the pandemic, she started getting into Nintendo games and bought herself a Switch. Fast forward a few years later and she's interested in getting a Steam Deck, since one of her "mom groups" told her about some pandemic inspired games, similar to Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing that are only available on Steam.

When it comes down to it, she doesn't care about her computer, she just wants to play computer games in a way that's easy and accessible for her. We'll be getting her a Steam Deck for her birthday, which in my opinion is just super neat. Even PC gaming is becoming extremely accessible, and it's a fantastic time to be a gamer.

The issue isn't that Apple made the lightning port. The issue is that USB C has been standard on THEIR OWN DEVICES since 2012. I understand not wanting to switch immediately after introducing a new port, but I would argue that USB has been the clear winner ever since the Switch came out in 2017, which was still 6 YEARS ago.

Apple would not have changed to an objectively better port if it weren't for the EU regulations.

Also, lightning better than USB-C? A USB 2.0 port that transfers at 1/100th the speed? You're insane.

You probably can recite 2 birthday songs from memory, but only 2. by ejl in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

For anybody who would like to have a 3rd song, this one is the best of them all.

Happy birthday, Dick!
