  • I’ve said this for a while, but I’ll say it again.

    I’m 98% certain a Steam Deck 2 would be ARM based and steam will be working towards getting proton or something similar to work for x86-64 -> ARM. Mainly for battery life gains. I think they’ve realised that the biggest complaint that people have of the steam deck is that it just does not last long enough when playing higher end games. Getting both a good ARM chipset and an efficient translator will make massive gains.

    This news to me almost confirms this theory of mine and they’re just also trying to see if the same strategy can work with getting them on people’s phones and tablets too.

















  • I use a lot of Google products. I still rate their phones as the best, recently I use a Jelly Star instead purely because i was due a new phone from my pixel 3 but every current phone from Google and it’s competitors that fit my needs are way too big.

    I stopped using Google search because in the last few months I’ve started realising it’s harder to find stuff that i want/need, so i now use ddg, which isn’t better than old Google but better than current.

    Outside of those though I still use my Google account as my main federated account. Still use gmail (wish inbox was still around for it though), still use chrome, and drive is my cloud storage of choice. On top of that I have 3 Google nest minis and a Chromecast with Google tv.

    I may be drifting away slowly but Google still has is teeth in me and at the moment where I’m being bitten I’m fine with it. Doesn’t hurt at all



  • I would say enshitification is more specifically about a product or service getting worse itself, whereas they were talking more about the audience. The enshitification had very much likely caused the “facebookification” of Reddit but i would say by their definition they are not one and the same. They can happen independently as well as because of one another.
