I’d like to point out that after Linux first hit the 1% mark back in 2021, it took three years to reach 2%. Now, just a year later, it’s already climbed another full percentage point — a clear sign of how quickly it’s growing as a gaming platform.

This is rad

That’s a really weirdly passive aggressive way to respond. I don’t want either of these devices, but you posted a shit article about nothing.

two gaming handhelds both released in 2025 have comparable performance? The hell you say

maybe more like when they took away social media in nepal and they burned that fucker down

This comic is routinely terrible trash.

Yeah I’ve had my mom several times go “nope that’s not dark enough”. There’s a wide line between having the right darkness and not burning it

Sure it has every color but does it have our specific color?

I’ve got my changes saved in an offline version; I’ll merge my changes in if you give me permission.

I’ve worked with so many people like this, they are afraid of code (I used to be afraid of code too)

Yes, because I was talking to the other person who’s been all over this thread talking about their specific experience.

Are you the person (alt) I was asking this of?

That’s not what I’m asking. You designed or built something for some users. They didn’t like it, or didn’t use it as you expected. Was your response to change the software or blame the users for not using it correctly?

In all your software deployments did you blame the users for not getting it or did you redesign the software because it sucked (according to your users)?

Maybe you should read a book friend.

You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period? Did you even go to school dude?

After being out of being a direct practitioner, I will say all my direct reports are “faster” in programs we use at work than I am, but I’m still waaaaaaaaaay more efficient than all of them (their inefficiencies drive me crazy actually), but I’ve also taken up a lot of development to keep my mind sharp. If I only had my team to manage and not my own personal projects, I could really see regressing a lot.

Worry that the US will become a North Korea-like Kim-ocracy with his shit offspring carrying on for him while he stays “eternal president”. Kim Il Sung has been dead for 30 years and we’re still dealing with his horrible crotch spawn.

and retire gracefully, where the device becomes open source and available to the community of owners who have invested in it.

The two things are related is what I am saying. The SEO web resulted in inflating pages with nonsense content that is needed to better appeal for advertisement revenue. This results in the results of web searches being clogged with in-genuine content that is meant to appeal to google’s algorithm and not to/by/from actual people.

The idea of “the web is dying” would mean that the internet has gotten so clogged with this kind of junk that no one even bothers to use it anymore. That’s not what’s happening. Instead, for better or worseª, people are getting parsed LLM search results at the top of their query which is summarizing the “content-rich” articles that are built for google, and getting people to the answers they want faster.

What that’s doing is making the idea of putting together this elaborate peacock of a website to appeal to Google a lot of wasted effort, since no one is going to those pages if they can get the answer more quickly. Whether this sounds like a bad thing to you I suppose depends on how much you value the pre-AI but post-SEO period of the internet, which I guess I don’t have much nostalgia for.

FWIW I’ve gotten some fantastic help from search engine LLMs with respect to some broad coding tasks but i have always said i don’t think it’s taken any longer than it would have for me to go to StackOverflow and parse through answers on my own, especially after tweaking and working with the LLM to refine its answer. I don’t think LLMs are magic, I think they’re often slapped into poorly designed products and overly applied but can have some limited use.

ª (Often worse. I got an unasked-for LLM search result on DDG today for ‘What is my IP address’, a question an LLM could not possibly help or answer without being hooked into a lot of other things, and is just a colossal waste of time and energy, and is really bad design)

Because this is what recipe sites used to look like, which was a person, posting recipes they had, in their words, so that you could get the information. Could the site look a bit better? Sure, there are accessibility issues, but it’s honest, to the point and gives you what you’re looking for.

This is the first result on Duckduckgo for “Garlic bread recipe”, which contains umpteen paragraphs of irrelevant information about Tony, a ton of great pictures of garlic bread, but holy fucking shit, they’re both the same content, one is just insufferable and ridiculous and the other one gives you what you’re looking for.

I’ve been in web design for as long as the web’s been around, basically. Obviously what would be nice is a better laid out site that gives access to some of the beautiful pictures that are in the 2nd article with the content of the 1st. But you can’t write an article with as few words in the first and ever hope to be ranked above another with “more content”. SEO has driven the web to extrude out content for attention that can be better dragged across advertisements.

For someone just looking to quickly understand how to make a good garlic bread, I miss the old web dearly.

re: enshittification of social media, social media isn’t the world wide web, so I am not understanding how that relates, but that said, I dearly also miss the forum-based internet and IRC as primary ways of communicating with each other. You were a lot less likely to run into all the giant personality conflicts that happen on Reddit/Lemmy because you weren’t aggregated in with literally everyone to comment on literally everything, you were organized around niche interests.

So I guess my question back to you would be, how many of us are on Lemmy/Reddit because that’s all that’s practically left for us?
