- Comment on What are your technology mispredictions? 1 week ago:
I never thought game subscription would take of. The entire concept is stupid to me. Pay per month to *acces selected games but not own them? Take into accoumt 90% of people will play at most 25% of the catalogue. Let’s do some math if PS Plus Essentials, where you get 2-4 random titles per month is taken, which costs 9€ per month which if you play down to 25% of the catalogue goes up to 36€ per month. For that ammount of money I can buy a REAL game I OWN or 5 good games on Steam Sale or GOG.
Still I guess if it sounds good people will smoke it.
To be clear these statistics are purly “Trust me bro” but I doubt someone will play Core Keeper, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and NFS: Unbound all in one month enough that it makes sense, and if you can more power to you, but I know those are not most people. Most people play Minecraft or Elder Scrolls or COD or GT etc.
Still feel free to express yours opinion.
- Comment on Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships 2 months ago:
In my honest opinion Sony Xperia (1 or 5) lineup is best Android has to offer, especially with LineageOS.
Nothing is good if you like the design, but it is expiriencing enshitification at a rapid pace.
Samsung is a no go (at least flagships) for their size, AI bullshit and forcing Samsung garbage on you (Samsung account, Samsung appstore, Samsung pay, etc.) .
Motorola is ok imo, just not much support from Lenovo.
Pixel is huge, underpowered and google is ruining it day by day.

LineageOS has the biggest library for supported devices afaik, and if you have a supported device you can try PostmarketOS which is Gnu/Linux based without any Android base, again afaik.

I just use RSS feeds for everything that interests me. some of them are hackernews, serveTheHome and opensource.com, but there are plenty more. RSS is so underated imo.
- Comment on I need feedback to my video! 9 months ago:
Watched it all the way trough and these are my honest critics:
- ai voice + music makes it feel like someone is talking a bedtime story to me
- first two sfx were a bit loud on my headphones so try and normalize the sound
- ai voice made all jokes feel dull. You can make that work as a character. For example Fireship makes good videos without raising his voice.
- Lastly you could skin the video and put all important stuff into a short under 1 min and if views are what you want that is your best bet imo.
- Comment on I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) 9 months ago:
I at least switched to Floorp for more customization options and funny name, but back then Floorp also had vertical tabs and side-dock before any other Firefox fork (afaik).
