They actually sell a service where you can buy a domain name and have it set as your username.

It’s not centralized, it’s also not a federated network like AP. It’s just a different design.

Not quite true. You can host your own personal data store (PDS), run your own labelling service, and you can host your own feeds.

The big relays and app views are the only thing that aren’t really supported by the official app yet.

.... this might just be in Firefox, I have no idea.

 

I just noticed two finger scrolling with my touchpad now has momentum... I haven't noticed this in other distros and I forgot how much I missed it since moving from macOS. Hell yeah, amazing work folks!

I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about it! I was shocked to see the logo on that page!

I forget the author, but The Immortal Game is both. It discusses chess history, but also tells the story of a famous game that took place in a pub after hours during a major chess tournament. Probably a little more on the informative side but I really liked it.

I swear that half the reason I want one of these is because the updates look so exciting for y’all. Really happy for steam deck owners.

If the next console is backwards compatible it will be a day one purchase from me. All I want is a Super Switch.

I remember playing the GBC Dragon Warrior Monsters game and being totally enthralled by it.

I had no fucking idea what was going on, and I didn’t come close to beating it, but it was fun.

I really need audio mixers to understand most people are broke as fuck.

I’d like to see them try if only to see what software they integrate into the device. Apple excels when they control hardware and software top to bottom and a controller would really benefit from that. One button game capture and share, or a special game specific UI when the controller connects? Or Siri language processing maybe? Some mag safe integrations? Multiplayer messaging and calling integrated into iMessage (don’t need a controller for that but whatever).

If Apple really wanted to make the iPhone a game console I’d be all in if they were, but I really can’t stand the half asses approach they are taking now. It can play RE8 natively? Cool! I’ll never touch it if the gameplay with an actual controller is an afterthought!

Having said all that… the BackBone looks dope as hell and I want one. It’s what I would expect Apple would develop in house
