Sony made some significant changes between the PS4 and PS5 controllers. I don't know the details beyond the dynamic resistance triggers, but if you buy a controller board to make your own fightstick, it'll work with everything up through PS4 and then you need an additional daughter-board to make it work with the PS5.

I don't really grok products like this.

If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through a condom, is still perpetuating it. It's maintaining that platform as still important and integral, and a place that others should continue to engage with. It's telling advertisers that it's still a place that's worth their money to maintain a presence on. It stymies the momentum in shifting to an alternative; why put the effort into a new service if people are still seeing your posts?

It's like pirating Windows instead of moving to a different OS. You're still perpetuating the MS hegemony and telling software developers that Windows is the platform they need to develop for.

Seeing a game is Ubisoft makes it a total nonstarter. I refuse to have to have a separate account and be forced to log into it just to play a goddamn game.

When I need to focus, I have an entire playlist of Weather Channel type jazz. It's energetic enough to give me baseline stimulation but not so much to turn on party mode, and being instrumental means it doesn't steal the attention of the words part of my brain and wreck my ability to actually do work.

Can't speak on the rest, but I am so glad skinny jeans are finally going out of fashion. That couldn't happen soon enough.

I've never heard the term "threadiverse". Where are you coming across it?

Buddy had one. Second-hand, it seemed like a tremendous pain in the ass, didn't allow him to do most things, and in the end it seemed a moot point. The radios are all closed source/proprietary, it connects to closed source/proprietary/corporate-controlled towers, and you're sending data to people running totally insecure devices. Ultimately his use case was to just establish a VPN connection to his home computer and route everything through that.

I can see getting into a Linux phone for the interest of the operating system and trying to push the technology, but if it's a security/privacy issue, I think you're much better off either using a dumbphone or a burner.

I think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:

• why you want to get away from Fedora
• what you liked about Fedora that kept you there until now
• what you hope you'd get from a new distro
• any nonstarters that would keep you away from a distro

Without knowing those things, it's just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you're looking for.

Depends on your definition of "eat".

If you mean "Can be chewed and swallowed without causing undue harm", then, yeah, you can eat wood. Well, most wood, I'm sure there's some out there that are some level of toxic to humans.

If you mean, "can be consumed as a source of nutrition", then, no, you can't eat wood. Humans lack the capability to digest it.

I think at best it will be gradual, and it won't be Kbin that takes over, but the combination of Kbin, Lemmy, and whatever other applications that pop up that handle the same Fediverse link aggregation.

Even then, there seems to be a resistance to Federated services by the bulk of the population, so if someone can make another centralized, capital-funded link aggregator, I'd guess that it would pick up more of the Reddit exodus than here.

In OP's situation where they're downloading a car, I think it's a safe assumption that the car has already been designed/engineered and OP is just printing it out and assembling it. This would be akin to a kit car, and modern kit cars certainly don't require specialized engineering skills to assemble.

Six does look great. I really appreciate the Zangief redesign and how it takes him looking like a bodybuilder to looking like a strongman competitor. Hopefully they'll be an analogue to Champion Edition so I can pick it up for a bit less and not have to pay extra for half the roster.
