Yea your not alone, I bought a Steam Deck bc of fomo, and resold my unit shortly after receiving it because I didn’t like it. I’ll continue to hold out for a future portable PC handheld. And I only had to watch one youtube review to tell I wasn’t down for the ROG Ally, d-pad seems quite crappy.

Glad to hear about the Miyoo, was thinking about getting one of those for work, now you got me excited about it.

Been tempted to try to replace my RP2+ with a newer gen model, but dunno if I could ever give Abernic another shot with how bad I hated the one I had, but I’m sure all their devices are different so maybe I should. Also considering the Odin Lite.

I play the shit out of my rp2+, but wonder if it’s worth upgrading… some of these look pretty interesting

let me in

Oh yea I don’t mind paying, I’m not on fiverr to be cheap lol. Maybe I need to take a deeper look, most people on fiverr I had trouble with if what I wanted them to make me was more complicated than like a one sentence description lol. So I’ve never successfully had web design done off it.

However for things that require little to no explaining like getting a portrait made it’s been awesome.

A stand-alone media file renamer/organizer with a nice webui that supports hard links.

Since I automate my torrent downloads I basically use the arr suite for just renaming and organizing which kinda over complicates things.

Rofl, it’s a hobby, you do it for fun, you shouldn’t need to get paid. I also play tennis as a hobby and I love to talk to people about it without charging them money believe it or not. The fetishization with internet fame, views, and money is making gaming weird.

I mean back when I was more into gaming I would contribute. I didn’t expect money, I just did it because I was fun. I feel like there’s a big disconnect between the current generation and my generation that wrote 300 page guides on gamefaqs for the hell of it rofl.

The difference is the decreasing availability of alternatives.

I mean I would argue it’s related, the reason behind it is $$$. Corporate interests have homogenized content and de-normalized diversity and community.

People who use to just post their excel sheets and research on some bb forum for free somewhere starting getting paid by icy veins or maxroll. Overtime they establish a monopoly on the content and can do whatever the hell they want.

Why make a platform that depends on the community and you get the ad views when you can adopt a business strategy that also gets you youtube and social media views while eliminating your competition.

And the youtube trend is just people trying to emulate the handful of people who managed to make it big off the twitch/youtube bag.

As someone who’s not an auditory/visual learner I feel personally attacked by this. I skipped class and stayed home and read the book/notes for a reason.

Cause you gotta get dem “views”. Don’t forget to smash that subscribe button.

The format makes no sense for the information being consumed, it’s like this for their benefit not the viewers.

Even the Maxroll build guides are like, oh yea go view our youtube video to get all the info.

I just use an external wiki/pastebin and put links to it on my community sidebar and one pinned post.

Oh I get it, and I wasn’t even blaming kbin, for all we know the issue is on lemmy’s side, they have an open github issue for non-lemmy federation. I’m just saying the ecosystem as is relies on two separately developed platforms maintaining interoperability with each other.

I agree, I wouldn’t use the always on feature, would just be for a specific project.

Nice, I might just do that plus the Grammarly free, just want to do some technical writing for my community wiki and wanted it to sound good lol

That’s honestly a really strong theory.

I mean I wouldn’t bc I hate being wasteful, but chances are those switches and keycaps were cheap as hell so not necessarily a bad financial deicion, like you said it was cheaper than keychron without swiches and caps.

Plus you can always use the switches for a side project like a macropad or something.

Funny story, I spilt coke all over my first mechanical keyboard. I tried everything to fix it, water, rice, alcohol. After all that it still felt horrible so I ended up just buying a new one. But I didn’t throw it away, I just stuck it in my closet where it remained for years.

Then approximately 8 years later, I take it out, randomly decide to try typing on it… its perfect. Felt just like it did when it was new, I dunno if the sugar just broke down or degraded over time or what, but it was fixed.

So if nothing else, just put it into storage for a decade and then try it out again lol.

I use this until they implement it as a built in option

I’m on kbin.social and I can see this ;)
