Whats your budget?
My go-to recommendation is the barebones CWWK N100 development board. Then you can add as much RAM and storage as you want. Up to 4xNVMe and 2x SATA drives are supported.
It also uses a normal PC fan jnstead of those whiny-ass laptop fans.
Thats what I use.
There’s plenty of room for creators who don’t want monetization or can monetize things themselves by utilizing product placements (if the platform were popular enough).
The biggest problem is federation (or lack thereof). I’ve looked at A LOT of instances, and most of them either don’t federate at all, or only federate with a handful of other instances, as opposed to Lemmy or Mastodon that federate with thousands of others…
This means it is deeply segregated and discoverability is virtually nada, not to mention the default algorithms are completely useless and uneditable.
…would you care to explain what this is?
Negative, Ghost Rider. But there are plenty of public ones. Try AdminForge.
My friends could not care less. I even offered to let them use it for free. They just mock me about it.
I hate it but it is a fair position.
Bruh we knew they were federating before we even knew the name of the platform. Pretty sure it was always intended that way.
Thank you for confirming that you think of me as your bitch
So, just to be clear, “I think you’re my bitch” for expecting you to back up your statements? This is the logic you’re going with?
This after all is why I left Reddit - to come here to do exactly the same.
If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe its time to check your shoes?
I never said I couldn’t back it up.
Actions speak louder than words. Or in this case, inaction.
Or I suppose you could try to goad me yet again into doing your homework for you
Your homework, not mine.
They are tied together, yet distinct entities.
Yes and no. You can run other software on Mac hardware, but not the other way around.
Your lack of recollection neither proves nor disproves anything at all.
I could say the same about your statement.
If you doubt me, look it up?
So…I should look up pricing of comparable hardware across the entirety of Apple history because you made a statement you can’t back up?
I mean… a Mac machine will run non-Mac OSX software.
Ah yes, the worst of both worlds! Wonderful!
I recall at various points in time, comparing equivalently-equipped machines, Apple ones were pound-for-pound actually cheaper than their Windows equivalents.
I don’t ever recall that…
Uhhhh I mean I’m pretty sure I did…
Well my point was that’s not a software problem, it’s a hardware problem.
Privacy and data collection-wise MacOS is fine
At best it’s “okay but not great”.
It’s their main selling point.
The millions of people who log into Facebook on their MacBooks prove that’s not true.
MacOSX is great, other than the fact that it only runs on insanely overpriced, un-upgradeable and irreparable hardware. And that you have what I would consider limited control over it.
I’m not misconstruing anything, you’re just making it sound like it was a trivial creation when it’s anything but.
This is just a huge injustice to what the Steam Deck is.
No one is demanding them full stop.
Weird, “fuck off” sounds a lot like a demand…
If you want to make us pay, we don’t want you.
Who is “we”?
I’m one voice of a community.
My point, exactly.
