  • My personal and never-asked-for wish is fairly small - Backlit buttons. Id like the ABXY and Steam/start/select/Menu button to have a faint glow to them with a toggle on/off/dim in the menu. Maybe even the analog stick could glow where the current sticks are white.

    For the gen pop I think the low hanging fruit of upgrades people would actually be interested in would be:

    • Battery upgrade, or some kind of switch-like efficiency upgrade that makes the battery much more effective
    • Some kind of screen improvement, be it smaller bezels or an OLED option or even both.
    • A general change in the ergonomics based on user feedback. I personally like the deck as is but Ive been surprised by stuff I didnt notice before

    Beyond that its going to be niche improvements that some people may find interesting and others not so much:

    • SD and USB slot changes (additions, change in position)
    • Various internal changes with the hard drive or upgradability options


  • I wouldnt quite go that far, but reddit has the numbers and thus they have the content. There are sometimes post that I will see for 4-5 days in a row on my “home page”, whereas on reddit its not out of the question to back 6-8 hours later and have a totally new string of content. Certainly every day there is a full, new page of links on almost any well populated sub.

    Kind of hard to stick around when that is the case


  • I think more Lemmy users need to learn that the upvote and downvote buttons aren’t meant to be used to indicate agreement and disagreement respectively, it’s to indicate if a comment is valuable contribution to the discussion regardless of whether or not you agree.

    Not saying I disagree in any way, but this will never ever happen. Its the same idea on reddit and its basically been a lost fight, its the “I like/dont like this comment” button 99% of the time, and I just dont see widespread adoption of the “quality of content” idea ever taking hold on a site that is open to the gen public.

    The same kind of applies to your 3rd point… Why people feel the need to add a 4,600 “I like firefox” to a thread about Chrome I will never know, but they do and always will.
