@SylvieLorxu @fdroidorg ahh, thank you so much for the very thorough explanation on this. and yea i did expect at least a part of the reasoning behind it to be just the matter of convenience and saving time. have a pleasant day!

My mastodon instance is shutting down soon this year, so i'll be migrating to my new account on calckey sometime today/soon!

@irfan

Well that's kind of concerning. Wonder what's the reason behind it.

@Jae in my exp w NVIDIA gpu, as long as ure not using Wayland (at least on KDE), all's good. I don't think i'm missing out on anything either being on X11 since it's a lot more mature, n from my observation, Wayland while it is the future, seems more beneficial to laptops than it is on desktops. that being said i am using a newer gpu (3080 Ti).

my partner's PC has also been migrated from Win 11 to EndeavourOS + KDE (on 1650 Super) n it works great!

@Jae ive moved to EndeavourOS (KDE Plasma desktop) from Windows full time on both my work/game machine + HTPC (connected to TV purely for Plex/YouTube/light gaming) for almost a year now and it really has been awesome. I use an Nvidia graphics card too which people keep saying is problematic on Linux, but frankly I've never had any trouble with it.

Apparently, there are people who are happy that they won’t be able to install optional third party stores on iOS because they don’t live in the EU.

Like, why?! “Oh I’m sure glad this option to get more apps that Apple might have not allowed doesn’t come to MY phone!”

@popey wow dats a really neat console

@pezhore @boilingsteam same here. just finished Nier Automata recently, and bought Nier Replicant. I'm also currently playing Elden Ring and RE2 Remake, both of which I enjoy but could not play for as long as I want to, to make progress cos they stress me out lol.

@pezhore @boilingsteam ahh i look forward to get that game some day, and also Rift of the NecroDancer that's coming, both of them look *really* good. will get them as soon as they get on sale.

@rakyat i agree 100% haha, idk what snapchat does but yes AI is everywhere at the moment even in questionable places lol. IceCubes got *some* loud noises when it first implemented the "auto hashtag" thing using ChatGPT but fortunately the dev didn't mind it bcos it is a good (experimental) feature. I also think building it in the OS or application is the logical next step, instead of having to do these neat things on our own. dk how soon would that come tho.

@rakyat yea it's defo possible, tho not sure if its implementation would be close to trivial. i'd honestly be happy even if it would only work w images. So far, AI is a big win for accessibility since it enables people/businesses to do stuffs they previously had no resources to (eg. transcribing/translating videos). This is a reversed situation, but similar, is GrabFood (Singapore?) experimenting the use of AI to visualise product listings with no included picture.

@alyssa @lina what cap card did u end up getting?

Ever since i started including alt texts to all media posted on #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, i've never stopped doing it, but i'd be lying if i didn't say it had added quite a huge friction to me posting here *if* a photo/video is involved. It'd be great if there was a local/client-based feature that uses #AI to draft alt texts for u which u then simply need to adjust/improve, that'd be really cool. sort of like @IceCubesApp's feature of hashtagging keywords on ur post automatically.

@lizmeyer All web browsers on iOS are required to be Apple's browser under the covers by Apple; you're not allowed to use your own browser engine, so DDG can't choose to do that. There are also certain things that Safari itself can do that other browsers (even though they have to be Safari) cannot. https://open-web-advocacy.org/walled-gardens-report/ has lots more info on this from us at @owa, if you fancy a long read :-)

@dansup ❤️❤️❤️

@dansup ive deleted it anyway, i hope thats okay. thank u so much for being open to feedback, and others' opinion. take care! :)

@dansup i know, i did understand ur original meaning of the post, i just think the comparison didn't fully capture what ure trying to convey but it's fine, i dont think anyones at fault here. i'm really sorry if i might have offended u, do know it's never my intention. i will delete my "quote" post too 😔 have a good day/evening. (and keep up the good work, my partner n i are very much looking fwd to stories on pixelfed!)

@dansup dude, im sure ive been civilised thruout this short "argument". i like ur work and im an avid supporter of pixelfed. i dont think ure doing any bad at all from just this one post, i, just like one more reply to ur post, think ur comparison of samsung-apple (two competing companies) and ivory-mastodon (3P vs FOSS mastodon app) might not make the most sense. regardless, i agree w ur actual intention of the post. fediverse is great, n our diverse selection of apps is our best strength.

@dansup i honestly wouldve included just jack in that example lol cos yes, elons one of the rare idiots that wld think such an app to be a competition. which i guess explains ur comparison, but i still think it isn't a fair one, since elon's a rare exception. to the public, people like me, wld see no reason whatsoever for there to be competition betwn twitter/masto app A and app B. + ur comparison using samsung ad published on an iphone is totally different n unrelated w ivory vs mastodon, no?

I'm thinking that this controller layout (or whatever other layout really), can be repurposed to exit "regular" #Flatpak apps that have been added to the #SteamDeck interface. Except instead of utilising `Control + W`, we use `Alt + F4`. So far though, idk if i'm adding this shortcut wrongly to my controller layout, but my `Alt + F4` shortcut does not work on these regular apps such as Signal or Spotify/Plex (app version), despite Alt + F4 working on desktop mode. Any ideas?
