Also people seem to completely ignore the amount of re-learning I'd need to do to switch. I'm not really a power user of Windows, but part of the reason it runs pretty smoothly for me is that I have a decade plus of knowledge of common failure points. You sort of get an intuition about things after awhile that I don't have on a different OS. Little issues the might result in a couple of days of troubleshooting are just solved immediately because I have hunches on what the issue is.

Meanwhile I'm struggling on my steamdeck to deal with minor problems because I'm very unfamiliar with the setup. It's not insurmountable, but it's a barrier to entry that I'm not willing to undertake just yet.

Same. Also all those tldr bots too

You could at least stick to young adults and older instead of high schoolers

I still check in to certain niche subreddits that don't exist on lemmy. Those feel pretty close to how they used to. The other day I took a look at /r/all and.... ooof. It's very apparent quality has completely nosedived. Lemmy /c/all is a much better representation of pre-blackout reddit /r/all right now.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot

No, I use both YouTube and YouTube music and they need different UIs and ways of navigating. While you could cram all of YouTube musics UI into a subsection of YouTube, it really doesn't make sense to do so. I'm not just shitting on Google just because, I'm saying that the needs of music listening and YouTube video watching are different for many people.

Honestly sounds like you don't even need youtube, just YouTube music if all you ever use it for is listening.

The UI and use case for a video platform and a music app are very, very different

I played a dumbed down version of Arizona Sunshine at mine, which was much less satisfying than the real game

Beat saber is fun, but you definitely don't need anything fancy to play that game

I feel like all I see in the VR space is endless articles on new hardware and basically nothing on quality VR games. I always thought I'd upgrade my Vive to an Index or something better one day, but so far the only compelling reason is HL: Alyx and I'm not spending that kind of money on a single game.

Having gone to a VR gaming business (the kind where you book a time slot, not an open arcade) I wasn't impressed. The hardware isn't really rugged enough for that kind of commercial use, so it was clear they were struggling to keep the gear in decent condition.

But besides that, the limited time nature of the setup meant that the game options needed to be significantly dumbed down so that anyone could pick it up in a few minutes. And there isn't enough of a demand to create any interesting experiences, most of what was on offer was neutered VR games I'd already tried on my personal VR setup.

Well so far my Google Smart speakers have two functions:

• Voice activated timer
• Wi-Fi speaker that I only ever cast to with my phone, never actually talk to them.

Don't think I'll miss that if they decide to charge for it.
