Bought a Pocophone F1 when that had insane value per dollar. Had to “wait” for a cooldown period to unlock the bootloader. I had never bought phones made for a Chinese market before. I have never felt more disrespected by a phone company, forcing me to use their launcher for 2 weeks, so condescending. I am a functioning human adult, thank you very much, I’ll chose my own software. Never interested in made for Chinese market phones again.

With shorts specifically, on my old now non existant account, which had a scary good profile of me, I got washed with right wing bullshit and transphobia when it shoehorned shorts in my life. It knew very very well who I was and that I would not enjoy any of that. I notified YT through don’t show me this again buttons, and when it wouldn’t stop I informed them they had 7 days to get this out of my recommendations or I would close my activity at their website. They did not react, they did not make shorts an option, they did not get the right wing garbage out of the 3 shorts they managed to throw in my face somehow every day when using YouTube. This account was over 10yo. Seeing how good their normal recommendations were, I can only conclude it was broken or bought for shorts, and thus you should be extremely reticent/reluctant blaming it on the users when they get wierd stuff.

My goal is to inform you that your N=1 is unrepresentative, I came in to say: “shorts algorithm suggestions were completely out of wack to my YouTube account(too!)” so now we have at least n=3, and if we can trust each other to say the truth, your ‘its a you problem’ is false. That’s important, because you accused someone of having certain interests, based on their experiences with that algorithm. I think that’s pulling the gun and putting too much ‘trust’ in a commercial YT algorithm, that worked for some (you I guess) but not for all.

So what you’re saying is you trust YouTube to do it right? With shorts? I got bombarded with bullshit in shorts, the 50 times they got it in front of my eyes somehow, I never watched any of that in my normal yt rounds. That algorithm is made to brainwash, not to serve you what you want.

Advance Wars (1) for GBA, playing on the go in the forest!

You can even load custom music in, I used my old TA (Total Annihilation) mp3 files and now it’s just like old times. Very intense multiplayer gaming though, phew!

Most of desktop users don’t care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.

I care! But I’m a power user. Most aren’t.

Welcome! I have noticed the last week or two that there has been a real influx of activity, and it’s now basically the same experience for larger subreddits/lemmy communities. All we need is some niche community and better cross/instance community combining and we’re golden. Enjoy!

No not really. I said it a bit vague because I think because of EU mandates more phones will be repairable(Soon TM hopefully). I wholly agree with you about the price of, for example, Fairphones. On the other hand my usage has changed radically from 10y ago, and consequently my phone is holding on much longer, so I’m saving up in the extra years this phone is surviving for a more expensive and arguably worse phone except for the repairability. Every day, it becomes worth more and more to me to be as independent from (large) corpo’s as possible, so effectively it’s becoming a better and better deal 😊. Same story for laptops, except it’s Framework instead of Fairphone

I’m riding this 6a all the way to bricktown, then I’m switching to a repairable alternative. Also never buying Google hardware or registering for Google services ever again.

Hahahaha 🤣

dozens of dozens!

Classic Game Room? Most Atari videos are bound to be 5-10 y old, but who cares, CGR is great and the vids too :-)

I think there are like 7 names and it depends on your mobo manufacturer with AMD XMP, even though normally CPUs have such easy to read making schemes 🤣

Correct, thanks, I always forget the AMD equivalent name (even though I only ever build AMD rigs)

Maybe your ram is not XMP-ed or DOCM-ed or whatever, so it’s running lower then max advertised speeds?

Thanks for informing me about Radical Red!

Battletoads for Gameboy. I just wanted to hear more of that slamming soundtrack, but the flying level beat me…

EDIT Oh snipes I misread the post, I thought they were asking for games that were too hard

I would have loved for Pokemon Red/Blue to have had some infinite endgame. It was already a big game so no harm done, bu I would have loved to have more use for my overpowered pokemon

The 00s Doom reboot shares a similar story, but for the 360!

This looks amazing, but doing a bit of digging around about it’s creator, Palmer Luckey, turned me off :-( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Luckey#Personal_views . Gameboy on the Steamdeck is pretty awesome already anyway :-)
