This is great, I've been increasingly using Boost over other apps, but the lack of moderation features was a problem.
The mod features look good so far, will we get notifications of reports?
I thought this was a pretty good write up, and made some good points. For anyone wanting a short version, the most important part to me was this:
There's absolutely a future where these silly-looking headsets could replace a laptop or a tablet for some people, while giving you more screen space than either of those devices.
There's one big problem, though: the Vision Pro and Meta's Quest headsets are incredibly locked down. They are more restrictive in the software they can run and less interoperable with other hardware than almost any other modern productivity device. I understand we're still in the early days for these devices—the first Quest headset was released in 2019 and the Vision Pro is brand new—but Meta and Apple have been historically reluctant to open up their other platforms.
Meta's Quest headsets are more like video game consoles than productivity tools, which makes some sense when gaming is the primary use case and work is an afterthought. The Vision Pro is a more general-purpose device, with much better apps and productivity features than the Quest, but it's even more locked down. I can't really use my iPad for work without serious compromises, and the $3,500 Vision Pro is somehow even further away from that.
Hopefully they'll optimize it for performance before a full release.
It became popular online in the mid 2000s, although some accounts say it started in the 90s.
This isn't my kind of game, but it sounds exactly like the kind of game my son would love. Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to show it to him after work.
That's a pretty good writeup honestly. The point about the performance settings on the deck making it easy simulate potato hardware to see how the game handles it seems like a very coinvent testing feature.
That's fine, I was just curious because Your previous answer sounded like you had a lot of experience in the game.
How good is the performance/controls for playing on Steam Deck?
I've spent a lot of time in Dead Cells on other platforms, but have held off on rebuying it on steam. Didn't really want to lose my progress or rebuy all the dlc. So the idea of a comparable quality Dead-Cells-like is very appealing.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has been taking all my time since it came out. I'm not very far into the game yet, I just unlocked the Pokemon parody and have been spending my recent time going between that and the crazy taxi-like mini game.
The game looks like something I would enjoy, but the reviews give me pause.
It has insane 3rd party DRM that requires you to call the publisher on a landline if you want to reinstall
This sounds pretty wild if true, but this review is also from 7 years ago so hopefully things have changed.
I use Gnome as my main DE, so I use the Pop shell for automatic window tiling. It's not being actively maintained anymore while Pop works on their new DE, but it still works pretty great. I have my eye on Veshell which is an upcoming DE from the guy who made the Material Shell overhaul for Gnome. It's a significant change to the UX compared to any other DEs I've tried.
My main productivity work is making vector files for a laser cutter, so I use a combination of Inkscape and Lightburn (not FOSS) for that. I also use Openscad and Prusa Slicer for making various repair parts, but that's not usually paying work.
On the terminal side I prefer fish and kakoune. Kakoune's changes to the vim/neovim keybinds are a lot more intuitive and easier to learn imo, but come with the obvious downside of learning something less universally useful than the vim keybinds.
