To me business and economics sounds like the more flexible one, but that’s not always a good thing cause being less “specialized” can mean lower value, at least for some job positions…

Depends on what skills you’re leveraging. You mentioned knowing 3 different languages, which might be rare depending on where you live. You could possibly go into organizing imports and exports. I know someone who went into that with a bachelors in business

Then the owners can cash out

Personally, I’m hoping they release a B380. I’d love to put one in my media server for transcoding

We can now make our own Team Fortress 3! With lootboxes blackjack, and bots hookers!

Not a community, but I recommend logicalincrements.com if you’re starting with a build. Pick a budget and it gives 3 different, balanced builds that match that budget. Use that as a starting point and modify from there

Doesn’t most of Element route through Matrix.org?

Petulant counterpoint: SteamOS 3.0 is based on Arch and is a good newbie distro

I like Jerboa because of how similar it is to RIF Is Fun

Asking for low barrier to the largest instances

And what defines a low barrier for entry? I just checked the sign-up process for Lemmy.world, and it’s just email > password > agree to ToS > complete a Recapcha. All on one page. How is that any different to any corporate social media site?

The big hassle for signing up for Lemmy is finding an instance that matches your preferences, but I don’t see how that’s possible to get around. The only thing I can think of is streamlining join-lemmy.org to better direct people to a fitting server.

I know I’m being combatative here, but the thing that bugs me people keep parrotting the same complaints of “there’s too much friction” when that problem has pretty much been fixed. Please focus on the currently existing problems instead

Unfortunately, nerdy =/= tech literate, and it’s mainly tech literate people here at the moment. While there’s likely a higher concentration of nerds here, many fringe interests still haven’t hit critical mass

What friction is there compared to besides picking an instance that works for the user?

Too often people say “There’s too much friction every step of the way” when it’s literally 1 extra step. That extra step might be a big pain itself, but don’t exaggerate and make it out like there’s more steps and pain than there really is

I wonder if PocketPair (Palworld devs) could flip a giant middle finger to Japan’s entire system by refunding all Japanese customers for the game and refusing to sell it in Japan anymore. Japan is the only country where Nintendo could get their way in a patent lawsuit, so fuck 'em

Except anything they try to patent was already done by the GTA V Pokémon mod several years before any 3D Pokémon game

Even if it was, is higher union membershop so bad? If you treat your employees right you should have nothing to fear from unions

Keep in mind that there’s 2 new justices that were instated by Trump during his first term and 4+ years have passed

Eh, there’s Horseshoe Theory at play there. While some people rail against the idea, I think they’re forgetting that political stances should mostly be modeled along 3 axes, not just the one. It’s just that the ‘average’ range of political stances tend to follow a horseshoe-shaped pattern within those 3 dimensions

seeing someone’s karma count seems to sway people’s opinions before even reading what that person says

Wait, people actually look that up on individual profiles? I only check that when someone has an extremely shit troll-level comment or is ‘karma whoring’ particularly egregiously.

feel like the lack of karma adds in to the civility,

I largely agree, but my stance is that it removes the point of ‘karma whoring’, since that really only exists on Reddit to later sell the account or inflate someone’s ego

Dude, no. A Raspberry Pi 5 is less powerful than a Steam Deck across the board. The only reason it could run DOOM at 4k in that video is because the guy hooked it up to an external GPU, and that external GPU costs several times more that a new Raspberry Pi.

Also, the Raspberry Pi 5 doesn’t come with an SSD. If you’re going to build your own boxed similar to what you’re proposing, you’d need to buy a Raspberry Pi + SSD + case + interface cards between the parts that’ll cost an addition $50-60. You’re looking at around $300 for parts. Any commercial product would also have to factor in labor and some margin for profits.

At this point you’re looking at a product that costs about the same as a base-model Steam Deck that isn’t portable and has less computing power for playing games. Virtually no one would buy that.

If Valve did release a non-portable PC, they might use a higher-power version of the Steam Deck’s APU at similar price points to the Steam Deck, filling the space that used to be occupied by Intel NUCs. But whatever they do, a non-portable system from them cannot be weaker than a Steam Deck. It would be completely rejected by most customers on that alone. And it cannot be dependent on an external GPU since those are a waste of money compared to just building a PC.

IE: 140€

Dude, you can’t even build a Raspberry Pi 5 based Retropie for that price. And the most you could run is emulated Gamecube games
