But people here don’t really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn’t matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I’m saying to achieve what you want.

I’m not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for “exposure” in hopes of finding new fans.

I’ve preferred firefox on Android, since it doesn’t refresh on me when I minimize it as often as other browsers.

I’ve had to block off entire instances too which I use the Connect app for.

I never found “all” browsable for any platform whether it be lemmy, YouTube, or reddit. It’s why subscribing has been so important to me, and filtering. Like on YouTube which I access through freetube I’ve disabled “trending” and “popular” since even the thumbnails were obnoxious for majority of the videos, and I blocked out channels to keep them from dominating search results. And on reddit what even made /r/all viewable was a reddit enhancement suite filter lists that was in the hundreds for blocking of communities, and even then was a wack a mole that required keyword filtering.

All of any platform will devolve into a shit show. As for niche subs. Yeah, not much that can be done about that if the user base is small.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

I’ve never watched game awards. I don’t even know if there is even a main one. Watches speeches is boring which is why I don’t watch award shows in general.

Only goty I care about is the goty edition where the game releases with all the DLCs bundled at a discount.

Nice. Sort of sets a low end standardized hardware baseline companies can try to get working knowing there’s that many units out there. Even if it doesn’t end up running great on the Steam Deck some attempts at optimization for it could help better hardware.

I have the steam deck. I’m asking about a dock.

I’ve wondered if it would be worth getting a dock to hook it up to my second monitor in desktop mode for just web browsing and watching videos.

But it’s $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.

It’s so weird that Google’s phone has been the most accessible for unlocking your phone. Oneplus used to be good too, but then they became bad in that area too and now custom rom scene seems dead for newer Oneplus phones.

Guess being so hostile and arrogant to customers thinking they’ll cave and buy from you doesn’t always work.

I’d go for high fps but same resolution. There’s some rhythm games that benefit from higher frames with it mostly being just scrolling notes so run on potatoes.

It pushed me more towards degoogling. Was already using newpipe on Android and ignoring the YouTube app, and now I’m on freetube on desktop. No need for Google account anymore to look at the feed I want.

Short attention span leading to doing gaming in short bursts. Sometimes I lose interest in games for months and get more into the mood to watch TV shows and movies. Then lose interest in that and move to reading then lose interest in that and going back to gaming. Rinse and repeat. Has helped me avoid the whole not having fun with games anymore threads that I’d see a lot, since my focus just naturally shifts back and forth to keep things feeling fresh.

That’s awesome news. I love these old games getting pc ports and quality of life features.

I feel safer with F-droid.

I stopped after season 2 and choose to only remember the first season, since ending to season 1 is a pretty satisfying wrap up the series. Season 1 is a fantastic standalone mini series.
