Comment on A Steam Deck Was Turned Into a Game Boy
FoxAlive@lemmy.zip 1 week agoYeah that’s amazing thats another translation layer thats vital for Linux phones.
Thats what im getting excited about. If someone makes use of all this progress we could have decent capable smart phones that at the very least have all the attractive software and apps which is the hardest part.
Sure getting the actual phone elements to work is still hard but we have a few options already and the main issue with those, is that no ones going to adopt it because they can’t use messenger or play candy crush anymore. They’re just boring phones again, and unless you find it fun writting code or playing in the terminal, it gets boring fast. Being able to play skyrim on your phone makes it sound like a fair trade off in some regards. People might be more willing to change their other habits and apps they used if there was at least one solid source of dopamine. I don’t know if you guys noticed but every app is basicially made to hijack your reward center, and switching to a privacy phone is like quiting smoking cold turkey.

And people joke Valve does nothing and wins. How on earth are they doing nothing? :D BTW I’m using FreeTube and its annoying how often I have to change IP too (thank god VPNs). And the buffering issues and so on on top of it, I have to copy the link to separate video player an watch it there… YouTube got unbearable!
