I use safari with an adblocker extension (AdGuard) on ios

youtube works just fine in a browser, the youtube app sucks anyway

does the switch pro controller use different joysticks than the joycons?

my joycons have drift but the pro controller, which I’ve used more often, is perfectly fine

operation switched to HYPE mode

a million times this, so many young people overwork themselves and burn out quickly

I cringe whenever a see someone has checked in code at 1am on a weekend, and these people are also working normal business hours so it’s not like they are only working at night

sadly it’s usually the same people who never take PTO either

that sounds very interesting! I’m gonna go lookup FPGA emulation now

It’s pretty easy assuming both of your devices are on the same network:

• install a game on your desktop PC via steam
• from your steam deck browse to the game in your library
• instead of Play/Install you click a little arrow next to the button and then select the name of your desktop PC
• the Play/Install button changes to say Stream, click that and it launches the game on your desktop and streams the video to your steam deck

if you have a good home network it is pretty much indistinguishable from playing it directly on the deck
I can play Elden Ring with no video artifacts or noticeable input lag

here is a guide which has some screenshots

yes the game does run on the remote desktop pc and essentially streams the video to the steam deck

I’ll admit the use cases can be limited, but if you want the ability to offload processing for graphically intense games it works well

my desktop is hard-wired into my network so I don’t have any lag when using remote play on my steam deck

I’m not sure if both machines were wireless how the performance might be impacted

if you happen to have a desktop PC and you play while at home, sometimes remote play on the deck is better than installing a game on the deck

I can remote play Elden Ring from my desktop at 60fps with longer battery life vs 40fps if installed on the deck with worse battery life

also make sure you try out reduced TDP and GPU rates on games with simpler graphics, you can get an extra 1-2 hours of battery life and not impact performance in certain cases

I bought the Hanson CD

but you know what, I ain’t ashamed! MMMbop was catchy and I’ll listen to whatever gets my body groovin’

KoRn was my favorite band as a teen!

still enjoy their music even though I don’t seek out nu-metal as much as I used to

ARE YOU READY??!!

it’s funny because I was able to get a standup desk in my home office

I’m in better shape now than when I was sitting at the office (plus zero distractions from the cOlAbErAtIvE oPeN fLoOr pLaN)

I was going to come in here and praise SDF but I see I’m too late

Damn you Dark Souls Remastered for taking me away from Lemmy for a bit!

I guess I’ll link the FAQ for SDF here for anyone interested in learning more

and also mention that SDF runs a Mastodon and Pixelfed instance for all your federation needs

didn’t realize people had issues with .webp

MacOS must have native support, I don’t recall installing anything but they work fine in Preview and Quick Look

Dark Souls 1-3

been waiting for these to go on sale for what feels like forever!

oh yeah, I actually do for local food/grocery deliveries

$5 or $10 depending on how much crap I order, not sure what the expectations are though for this type of service??

I only tip for sit-down restaurants where an actual servers brings me my food

everywhere else I preemptively give the stank face as I mash the ‘no tip’ button on their payment system

I usually just round up to the next $5 amount to make the numbers clean, don’t really care what the % is

so a $16.83 bill gets a $3.17 tip

this makes it easier to plan a meal budget, like “ok I’m spending $20 on a burger and fries today”

yep, and I am too timid to ever end the conversation

so now I have to hear Larry’s entire life story, or about how Wanda’s cousin has bowel cancer

I use Mozilla VPN, which I believe is just a rebranded Mullvad

never had any issues!

yeah I downloaded tiktok to see what the deal was

I am immediately bombarded with some stupid auto play video I didn’t ask for, so I swipe it away

which just sends me another stupid video in an endless stream of garbage

I’ll never understand this type of social media, it truly felt like idiocracy

I know peertube already exists, but I wonder if a federated app specifically for short videos (to reduce data storage costs) could find some success?

would probably also need to use some intense video compression technology before upload to further reduce file sizes
