- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 1 week ago:
A steamos device should be very much plug and play. I don’t know how good this would be in practice, but with a few clicks, non-steamos linux in can be set to boot straight into steam’s tv interface, which has the necessary ui for power off, system updates, etc.
- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 1 week ago:
This is all subjective, but because of nintendo’s bs, switch 2 is their first console I have almost zero interest getting. If your kids specifically really want the switch, they’ll be disappointed by anything else, but if not, I recommend looking into steam deck or other linux handhelds.

It’s not enough to make it available as an option somewhere so it’s there when you need it, they need accidental clicks to inflate metrics.

At that price point, something used and not particularly recent. Even an old laptop will be good performance-wise, but not necessarily storage-wise.
However, buying a laptop to run at home might not be the most reliable or economical way to host Lemmy: you can rent a virtual server for not much, provided that you have access to a computer to remotely access the server with.
I have zero experience with YunoHost, so I don’t know how that may or may not limit the options. Probably the most common way is to use Lemmy-Ansible. It’s easy (well, relatively speaking) and is maintained by the actual lemmy devs themselves. Managed services (ones where you don’t have to deal with the server) should also exist for lemmy, but I’ve never used them.

- Comment on What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down? 3 weeks ago:
When instances federate, they don’t send old content. Old content will be fetched if a user tries to open it, for example by clicking a link to an old post (on some apps) or pasting its url into the search box.
The data copied to the other instance will stay on the other instance, unless manually deleted for some reason.

This sounded off, so I checked the docs.
…downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

It promotes downvoted posts?

- Comment on Voting in the threadiverse 3 weeks ago:
As much as I wish votes could be private, obfuscating them would make troll instances harder to notice. I think I hate it the most that the current model gives the illusion of being private, when it isn’t.
- Comment on Voting in the threadiverse 3 weeks ago:
They aren’t shown to users, no, but because votes are federated, they’re freely accessible to anyone willing to put in some effort.

- Comment on Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no? 4 weeks ago:
You’d have a hard time finding company that would just give you access to vps for free. Running a server always costs someone money.
- Comment on Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam 4 weeks ago:
Not very likely. Translating cpu architectures is completely different from from what wine/proton does. A compatibility layer for arm would be even more difficult and expensive, and have a performance penalty. They might plan that for further into future, if arm takes off for PC though.

- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been using obsidian notes for a lot of things. I have a kanban board there that goes buy->bought->in progress->finished->100%
The last step is pretty useless because I never even want to 100% a game. I should remove it.

Your site says “no confusion”, “no fluff”, “zero BS”, etc. but the entire page is just incoherent fluff bullshit. I read the page and I have no clue what your product does.
