@vitriolix Just flip the Disconnection Switch and it's a non-issue. :)

This overview explains some of what makes Ubuntu Touch (for phones and tablets) different from Ubuntu for laptops and desktops. That includes a custom UI, a read-only file system (by default), containerized apps, and Halium (for working on hardware designed for Android). https://ubports.com/en/blog/ubports-news-1/post/how-ubuntu-touch-works-3896 #UbuntuTouch #MobileLinux #UBPorts

@bradlinder Sad to say: I had to set up a content blocker for your site to not be really sluggish and crash repeatedly while browsing it on my iPhone 12 Mini

I usually try to not use content blockers as I like for site owners to get paid for their work in the way they chooses, but I had to make an exception now.

Just wanted to let you know, fewer or less heavy ads would have worked better for me.

Something like eg: https://www.ethicalads.io/

@voxpelli Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, and totally understand your position.

We do our best to ensure the ads don't get in the way of content delivery, but everyone's use case & tolerance may be different (and of course, some people may not want to see any ads at all, which is why we also do accept donations to help keep the site sustainable).

@vitriolix If you shell out $3800 for one, you'll convince yourself that you like it! (Also, they usually come bundled with a Bluetooth keyboard that can sit atop the lower screen).

@bradlinder@fosstodon.org avatar

Valve reaffirms that there are no plans to offer a Steam Deck with a faster processor for the next few years. Instead the goals are is to offer developers a "fixed performance target," while also keeping power consumption low. In other words, don't expect a Steam Deck 2 until 2025 or later. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23884863/valve-steam-deck-2-refresh-upgrade-cpu-2025 #SteamDeck #Valve #HandheldGamingPC

Our recent article about the Librem 5 noted that its new $999 price tag after a $300 price cut is still... a lot. But it looks like there is a slightly cheaper option: Purism is selling refurbished models of the Linux phone for $799. https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-5-refurbished/

The GPD Win Mini reportedly has a great screen, touchpad, controllers, keyboard, and performance. But the controller area gets uncomfortably hot during long gaming sessions on pre-production models. GPD is said to be working on a fix though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA07EV6kdbE #GPDWinMini #HandheldPC #HandheldGamingPC #GPD
