  stract has same issue mentioned above where search engines are actually the only time i want data on me to be easily accessible. not being able to search “food near me” is frustrating, and no privacy-centered google alternative i’ve been happy with has had that feature. im fine with my location and other relevant metadata on me getting used in a search, as long as that metadata is in a black box restricted to me that doesn’t create a profile for advertising companies

  Would you mind sending it my way? I’d be curious to use it

  This is a good looking piece of hardware, but i hope they keep the price low. That’s the biggest thing that these sorts of systems have going for them is making a desktop ecosystem affordable, and if this is expensive I fear it’ll be fighting an uphill battle against the steamdeck bc it seems most steamdeck competitors tout their windows compatability as an upside.

  Either way, if this is good (and I can afford it when it hits the market), this might be the handheld pc i pick up. Great looking chassis, good feature suite, hall effect sticks out of the gate, and it helps get me back to tinkering with linux more. Seems like a win all around

  its one of the use-cases that AI truly makes sense in to me, because it feels like voice assistant technology has really plateau’d, and an LLM seems like a good way to process natural language

  Low-key, raid legendary armor is super easy to get (6 weeks of moderate investment, less if you have LI already, and you get a set of ascended armor halfway through for your troubles to gear a build of a diff armor weight since envoy1 isn’t a precursor set) and makes gearing a whole host of builds waaaaayyyyy easier. Def been a big qol increase

  I could, and have, write multiple essays about why I think willbender is a triumph of design and a blast to play in every mode and I will never shut up about it

  “It’s a tough relationship to land: a bond that’s years in the making, but we’re only witnessing that bond through how these characters interact with one another. It’s like going to meet your partner’s friends; they all have history, and while we’re (probably) welcome to listen in, we’re observing years of friendship and relationship development” i really like this bit. i like that they’re aware of how long it’s been since we’ve seen zojja and arent going to write her like we’re picking up from where we left off, i hope that the narrative team has a more concrete vision than the start-and-stop narrative we’ve had since ibs, its frustrating but i hope this is the end of it, but maybe that’s wishful thinking. we’ll see
