“perfect emulation”
With a setup like this, you can keep moving the goal post until you win all your little internet arguments. Personally, I’m not a fanboy for neither Nintendo nor Valve, so I really don’t care to get into this kind of atgument.
My point is that there’s no reason to think the Switch 2 can’t be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.
I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions)
The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.

Lol sure destroy all the trust with your users THEN launch an email service. Hard pass fro me.
I guarantee you they’re already planning to train an LLM on everybody’s emails, or at least sell them to AI companies doing training.

The steam deck just barely emulates the switch
Wdym? Last I tried it, Switch emulation on the Deck was nearly perfect. I played the entirety of Metroid Dread on it with zero issues, and a couple of other games (Breath of the Wild, Smash, and Odyssey)

Why not? Just because the Switch 2 can do 4k60 doesn’t mean it’s super powerful. Thd Switch 1 was obsolete when it launched, so a hardware upgrade over that could be literally anything. For reference, even the Raspberry Pi can do 4k60 nowadays.
Afaik, Switch 2 specs haven’t been revealed (have they?) so we don’t know yet what to expect, but considering it’s a handheld it will likely have similar power constraints to the Deck, possibly even more to achieve longer battery life. (But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade). As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.
The trailer mentions that the Switch 2 can do 4k60 when docked only on some games. Just knowing Nintendo’s cheap asses, I doubt you’ll get that from any significant 3D title. It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles. I doubt you’ll see that in the new Bloodborne, possibly not even 120 while in handheld either.

That’s a gimmick that doesn’t justify the costs of switching from Git (IMO)
If you want decentralized collaboration features in git without using forge software, you can use mailing lists like the Linux kernel does.
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 1 week ago:
Anyone have the story behind this? Fuck Microsoft and all that, but Github has historically been pretty good when it comes to not banning people for stupid reasons. Usually, it’s a DMCA thing or a valid security threat.
Recently, there was some controversy about closed source code powering a component of the project (github.com/orgs/organicmaps/discussions/9837) but I didn’t keep up with that. Could this ban be related to that?

For the past like decade the only “updates” OpenOffice has been getting are questionable code comment changes from one dude. These changes literally do nothing, and people have suggested that the only reason he does it is to make OpenOffice seem like it’s still being developed, even though it was abandoned long ago.
Why? IDK, but I think it’s just some stubborn asshole with an axe to grind with the LibreOffice project. OpenOffice still has stronger name recognition than LibreOffice, so a lot of people still use it.

I want to celebrate this, but it’s hard not to see it as an attempt at authoritarianism. I think the right way to do a Facebook ban is to ensure people have access to a good alternative (like Mastodon) before pulling the plug.

Huskies are great. Mine loses her shit if I even look at the leash, but she will not run out the door by herself. At worst, she’ll take a few steps out with her ears down (which is the sign that she knows she’s being bad), but then run back in as soon as I call her.
I didn’t train her at all, she’s just an unnaturally good girl for some reason.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 2 weeks ago:
Not true. This lawsuit has been in the works for a long time. IIRC the investigation started towards the end up the first Trump admin, was completed, brought to trial, and won by the Biden admin, and now is being completed under Trump again.
Don’t believe the MAGA lies about government agencies being partisan hacks. They’re generally staffed by people who believe in the mission and put that ahead of politics. Under Trump, a lot of good people are leaving, but the ones playing the loyalty game can stay and keep working.
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 2 weeks ago:
Apple seems like the best option due to their business goals (privacy).
Lol. Lmao, even.
Sorry for the flippant comment, but it’s so incredibly wrong that I need to highlight the ridiculousness. TBF to you, it’s a common misconception due to Apple marketing’s lies, and our regulatory agencies unable/unwilling to do anything about companies that lie like Apple does.
Microsoft would be even worse.
The best outcome IMO is to kill Chrome, Edge, AND Safari, and force users to scatter and find an alternative on their own. There will need to be some way to prevent all big tech from trying to compete here too (Facebook, Amazon, etc), as those are incentivized to monopolize exactly like Google did, and we shouldn’t have to wait another 2 decades for the government to do something about it.
There will be some growing pains as people initially end up on shitty/scammy browsers, but eventually the market will do its thing and browser devs will compete for marketshare.
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 2 weeks ago:
Are you a software engineer? Without doxxing yourself, do you think you could share some more info or guidance? I’ve personally been trying to integrate AI code gen into my own work, but haven’t had much success.
I’ve been able to ask ChatGPT to generate some simple but tedious code that would normally require me read through a bunch of documentation. Usually, that’s a third party library or a part of the standard library I’m not familiar with. My work is mostly Python and C++, and I’ve found that ChatGPT is terrible at C++ and more often than not generates code that doesn’t even compile. It is very good at generating Python by comparison, but unfortunately for me, that’s only like 10% of my work.
For C++, I’ve found it helpful to ask misc questions about the design of the STL or new language features while I’m studying them myself. It’s not actually generating any code, but it definitely saves me some time. It’s very useful for translating C++'s “standardese” into english, for example. It still struggles generating valid code using C++20 or newer though.
I also tried a few local models on my GPU, but haven’t had good results. I assume it’s a problem with the models I used not being optimized for code, or maybe the inference tools I tried weren’t using them right (oobabooga, kobold, and some others I don’t remember). If you have any recommendations for good coding models I can run locally on a 4090, I’d love to hear them!
I tried using a few of those AI code editors (mostly VS Code plugins) years ago, and they really sucked. I’m sure things have improved since then, so maybe that’s the way to go?

I didn’t know that, but tbh not surprising. Dotcom-era tech bro billionaires are all the same.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 5 weeks ago:
I don’t get your point, are you saying that using LibreWolf will still send your personal data to Mozilla? A privacy hardened config should be enough to disable all data collection, unless there’s some kind of hidden telemetry in Firefox. That’d be hard to hide considering the open source nature of Firefox.
Also, looking at the source repo, it seems like LibreWolf is not just a config file, it’s also a bunch of patches to the source code, plus they do build from source and publish their own binaries. So if Mozilla does try to sneak telemetry in, the LibreWolf maintainers are well positioned to patch it out.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 5 weeks ago:
Anyone still using Firefox after this probably hasn’t been keeping up with Mozilla’s many controversies. If this is your first time here, I can see why you’d decide to overlook it. I did for a long time, but this is the final straw for me. Luckily, instead of building anything useful over the past decades, Mozilla leadership has been instead focused on enriching themselves. That means deleting my Mozilla account right now was easy.
I’ve now moved to LibreWolf, because I don’t want to support Chromium’s dominance, but if that project dies out I’ll jump ship. It’ll be a real shame if the world gets stuck with Chromium as the only viable browser, but it won’t be my fault. It will be Mozilla leadership’s fault.

I use MXRoute, which is a similar tiny/one-person email service. Also great so far. I use it for personal stuff + a client’s professional business emails, and haven’t had any issues with either.
Supporting small businesses like these feels great!
