  • Its used in a lot of places. I’d say its about as essential as FTP, maybe a bit less. Take of that as you will.
    I’m thinking of other problems BT could help solve, but I can’t think of any. Maybe decentralized syncing of data across a global CDN network?
    Would be great if we could utilize it for video sharing since bandwidth is always a problem there, but its not really designed for it. Though I think there’s a lot of things we could solve with p2p, bittorrent may not be the correct protocol to use. A decentralized p2p marketplace was mentioned a few years back, but I can’t recall any detail or even name now…



  • Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
    I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
    To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt.



  • My first PlayStation was the PS3, I had Nintendo consoles and was used to Xbox by that time. First game I played on PS3 was heavy rain. A game heavily littered with QTE’s. Big mistake. I was looking at the controller half the time figuring out which button to press, missed half of them. I’m sure it came natural to some, but my muscle memory learned on ABXY… So its generally me preferred way to play.



  • I’ve lived on the internet before youtube, I can go back. I’ve even noticed I’ve been forcing myself to check out whats on youtube more and more over the past 5 years instead of wanting to check it out. So I kinda feel like I can drop it as a website I visit on its own and only consume it when specific posts link to it (like from lemmy). Next step after that is dropping it completely as video creators naturally move to different hosts.

    Every company want to be a platform… I just them to host videos I can watch embedded on lemmy or some other site.



  • supplier guaranteeing all the hardware is supported

    This is really harder said than done. Its implications are often quite deep and misunderstood.
    The simplest example I can give is razer backlit keyboards and mice, which gamers seem to love. Razer’s software makes them truly shine and that software just isn’t available on linux. Open source alternatives exist and they do the job, just not as well as official software does. I do hope windows gaming refugees wont be swayed back when they discover not all hardware will “just work”, or at least work just as well as on windows. With Bazzite being a “gamer” distro, I wonder if they made any strides here, though I highly doubt it, else we’d see it propagate to other distros.

    In my own experience, I was sad to see no software support from canon, which meant I couldn’t transfer files from my camera to my PC via wifi. Its a small price to pay, but it needs to be payed non the less.
