I also don’t think Apple was ever good.

Well, it’s not a phone replacement yet.

Probably have better luck if you try yay -Syu instead

Valve brought gaming to Linux, I’m confident they could bring banking to Linux too.

Why use the word rape at all there? Lack of imagination?

However, their decision-making skills are less thrilling.

Be pretty fucking cool though

Only if the phone hardware is closed and locked. If not for chip manufacturer patents, stock Debian would run no problem on every new phone a week or two after it hit the shelves (if not sooner, like when friendly vendors send early hardware out to developers).
Instead, every revision of every model phone has a bunch of unique black-box bullshit that must be reverse-engineered, all of which expressly exists to keep you from using your hardware the way you want.

You know all of this.
The point (that you made, that) I want to emphasize is: Valve is a hardware manufacturer now.
And I would absolutely buy an AARCH64 Steam Deck that could replace my Android.

Dogs are not allowed in the dog park.
Humans are not allowed in the dog park.

Wait, that was real?

Hmm. This thread is making me want to watch it. What’s the pitch?
I’m sure I could look it up and get a bland general description, but I’d be more likely to trust the opinion of another person in a Linux memes community on Lemmy.

I’m bi, do I straddle them both?

Everyone out there has to compete against stability and comfort and deep rich connection. Standards too high? Hardly! Standards are just high enough.

WELL WELL WELL

I’m currently living in Canada and we’ve seen two snowflakes this entire winter (they fell in October)

Huh. I don’t know enough about Flatpak, I guess repo owners get to make that call? Do Flatpaks have a preinst equivalent? Could you theoretically have an empty Flatpak that installs snaps at a system level? I guess it would need explicit permission to write to the filesystem, which kinda seems to be the opposite of the purpose of Flatpak.
And like, even if that is possible, the Flathub maintainers would probably reject it on principle. So I’m imagining CanHub with an extra step in the installation instructions that gets you to pipe a curl’d script into sh, at which point, what’s the point?

Just Gupta. First name Chandra, the first.

There’s nothing in the frame to give a sense of scale. These are actually thirty feet long.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it already exists

Well yeah. That’s where they’re stored.
