Video yes. Text-only no, you would need an account on another platform for that.

You could post a picture of text (with ALT text) from Pixelfed, though.

All Pixelfed content is discoverable and followable up on Mastodon and has the benefit of allowing more attachments per post than Mastodon. So I would think for OPs use case of pushing media-focused content, without really needing the account to consume other peoples’ content, Pixelfed is a decent choice.

2036 Could Be The Year of Linux!

I have a PSVR2 and I don’t consider the capability of VR to be its failure. I have to assume it’s just that much harder and more expensive to develop for VR. Like the FPS genre is hugely successful, and that’s such a natural fit for VR.

Right, that’s what I’m saying. Make a v2 Deck with upgraded CPU/memory, and put the GPU in the dock so it can do 4k on a big screen. I’m sure “Deck v2 is 4x more powerful than v1 and you can dock it for 4k @ 60fps on the big screen” would be just as good a marketing line as “Machine is 6x more powerful than a Deck”.

At this point, you would think that if they wanted to go with an Occulink/Thunderbolt thing… they’d make it in the Steam Machine, the thing that doesn’t move around as much.

I hadn’t heard of OCuLink before, apparently it’s an external PCIe connector! Eh, that would seem like a waste of engineering team to build that into a stationary desktop PC. They can just build the PC case to whatever size is needed to house the GPU and related cooling, which they did. This is the second desktop PC they’ve released, no? They had one like 10 years ago that was a commercial failure? My impression as a console gamer is that the Deck is very successful and popular, but it’s under-powered for playing on a big screen.

They… the Valve video says the Steam Machine is 6 times as powerful as a Steam Deck.

Right, my point was just bumping the chipset/CPU/memory would give a nice marketing tagline like that without designing a whole new desktop PC. Obviously, you can’t put a giant modern CPU and heat sinks and fans in a handheld. So spend that engineering R&D money on giving the dock a GPU so now the Deck performs as well as the Machine would have, and you have it using a successful branding rather than reviving a brand that already failed once.

It seems like more news about the Deck 2 or whatever is coming,

Hope so.

I mean like a v2 Steam Deck and Dock. Give the Deck a bump in CPU/RAM/storage specs and new external ports to facilitate having the GPU in the dock. It could technically even be an externalized PCIe connector instead of Thunderbolt/USB. In handheld mode you get the iCPU limited to 1080, but dock it on the big screen and now you get full 4k @ 60 FPS. Add an HDMI port so you do 1080 on a big screen without a dock.

Hm, guess I missed that part, my bad.

The Frame isn’t playing the games on its ARM chip. It’s just streaming audio/visual data from the PC and relaying the controller inputs back to the PC.

Agree it has be price competitive with consoles. Though I wonder if making a docked Deck be on equal footing with the Machine would have been a better use of R&D. Maybe simply improving having the dock house an eGPU and bumping the Deck specs.

Intriguing. Eager to see the price of the Steam Machine.

Because we can feel even the most minor movement of our facial muscles away from our natural resting position, in much greater precision than what other people can see of the same.

Shame. He has a great reaction one of your options with a spider in the Guantlet of Shar.

Aside from the hashtag hypothesis, there are multiple timelines on Mastodon: trending, local, and global for example. I’m assuming you didn’t suddenly accidentally start looking at a different timeline but still worth mentioning.

Are you looking at the drop-down for your comment? I’m taking about your account settings. Go to https://lemmy.zip/settings and there should be a list view for Languages that you can multi-select.

Posts and comments where the author doesn’t select a language use undetermined. So you need to also select that to see all those posts.

The language selection on a post/comment doesn’t alter how the content of the post or comment is published. It works in conjunction with the user-level language setting to filter what content other people see. So if you set the language to on your post to Spanish, then the only users who will see it are those who have added either Spanish or Undetermined to the Languages list in their user settings. For everyone who doesn’t have one of those two languages enabled in their settings your post/comment will simply not be displayed.

Just by keeping at it. Lots of posts don’t get a lot of comments, seems like a lot of lurkers. My front page only has one post with >10 comments and the rest are at 3 or fewer. But Reddit is still in the top ten more-visited web sites in the world. So can’t expect the same number of comments compared to the bigger subs there.

This is the one thing I really think Fediverse needs. I shouldn’t have to have a separate identity for each of Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed/Mbin/Piefed/blahblahblah. In theory, ATproto has the PDS which holds your identity and posts and you can host independent from the rest of the platform. In practice, shenanigans on Bluesky over the last few days are showing that even with Blacksky, they are still centrally dependent on the main instance. There’s been quite a few Bsky users picking up on Mastodon, either new accounts or reviving old ones.

Training with weights combined with diet is the best way to lose fat. Cardio exercise is good for cardio respiratory health and helps with calories in/out calculations but adding muscle increases your bodies caloric demand, meaning more fat burn.

As a complete beginner a simple routine of hitting weights twice a week with cardio (30 minutes 2-3 times per week) in between will be plenty. You want to hit each muscle group with 3 hard sets twice a week. A hard set is when you get near (within 2 reps) failure (which means you can’t complete another reporting with good form) with a range of repititions anywhere from 5 to 30.

For a basic full body routine, you want to think about pushing and pulling with arms, legs, and chest/back/shoulders. So bicep curls (pull) and tricep extensions (push), for example. Chest press/fly (push) and rows (pull). Leg curls (pull) and extensions/presses (push). If the gym has a set of circuit machines, use those to start with so you get a feel for the movements.

Look at the Hevy app, which has a free version and has a library of workout routines broken down by beginner/intermediate/advanced and location/equipment (at home, at gym, travel, bodyweight only, dumbbells only, etc). It also has a bunch of community-shated routines.

Diet is going to determine if you lose fat or both fat and muscle. Target about 1 g of protein per pound of bodyweight per day to maintain/gain muscle Split the rest of your calories between unsaturated fats and carbs in whatever way you can maintain. Avoid added sugars. Switch to drinking mostly water, or at least diet soda or carbonated water. Fruit juices, even without added sugars, are loaded with sugar but lack the fiber that is in the raw whole fruit to mitigate the sugar. So don’t switch from soda to an equal volume of fruit juice.

There’s also a metric butt load of good content on YouTube. Channels I like are:
