Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.
I’d argue it’s one of their core beliefs. Almost a requirement to be a MAGA is to be a hypocrite.
Why have one device or why desktop mode?
One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.
Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.
I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.
I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.
How is this supposed to work? What about identical twins? What about people who look alike (more common than you’d think)?
You’re assuming spiteful billionaire will willingly part with them.
You’re missing a critical part of the apples analogy. When apples start to rot, they release ethylene gas which is a plant hormone that accelerates aging in nearby fruits.
So by the time you found the rotten apple, it has already spoiled the bunch.
Analogies aren’t perfect, but they usually get the point across. Maybe the “one bad apples spoils the bunch” sits better? Apples are indivisible like people.
They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.
The asset store obviously isn’t, so I feel these concerns are valid. I don’t want Godot to end up like Unity 5-10+ years out.
I’m not sure why you’re beating up a strawman so hard. I never said anything remotely close to that.
Seems I struck a nerve. See my other response in this thread for my concerns.
Thank you, kind stranger!
Monetization Strategies: If Godot’s asset store adopts aggressive monetization strategies similar to those seen in other platforms, it could alienate developers and users. This includes high fees for asset sales or restrictive policies that limit creators’ earnings.
Quality Control: A decline in the quality of assets available, either through a lack of curation or an influx of low-quality submissions, can diminish the value of the asset store. This could lead to frustration among users seeking reliable resources.
Community Trust: The perception of a platform’s integrity is crucial. If developers feel that the asset store prioritizes profit over community support, it could lead to a loss of trust and engagement.
Comparison with Other Platforms: Observing the trajectory of other game engines, like Unity, can provide insights. If Godot’s asset store begins to mirror the negative aspects of those platforms, it could signal a shift in its community dynamics.
Feedback and Adaptation: The response of the Godot community to the new asset store will be critical. If the developers are responsive to feedback and prioritize the needs of their users, it may mitigate concerns about enshittification.
Glad to see Texas doing some good here.
Begun, the enshittification has.
How difficult is it for an adversary to get in the middle of the TPM releasing the keys to LUKS? That’s why I would want attestation of some sort, but that makes it more complicated and thinking about how that would work in practice makes my head spin…
Can we apply some of both of those to narrow down to a few recommendations? 😁
If I remember correctly, Leta search proxy is the anonymized search proxy from Mullvad. Users connect and do internet searches, Leta will search various engines and cache the results, anonymized, for some time (days I think?) and any users who perform the same search will receive the cached results from the other users previous searches.
I could be wrong on some or all of that.
Have there been any studies showing if that is due to biological/hormonal differences or just societal norms?
