the steam controller 2026 suffers from being a steam deck with the touchscreen and the computer removed

the steam controller 2015 suffers from most customization support having been removed from the steam client

valve kneecapped two of their own pieces of hardware in one glorious fell swoop

sincerely i cannot understand people who think the steam controller 2026 is an upgrade over the steam controller 2015

the build quality is nicer and the trackpad haptics have better hardware which are almost not used by the software and that's about it

it feels like every single thing we try to do on the steam controller 2026 that we used to be able to with the steam controller 2015 is worse or completely gone

did the steam controller 2026 really drop the split keyboard functionality from steam controller 2015 entirely or are we doing something wrong

RE: todon.eu/@redjives/11722331776

This is absolutely right, and I think a big part of the problem is that tech has utterly refused to standardise on *anything*.

Oh, you want a web server? You can get a cheap managed one but it'll only run certain languages and databases. Or you can rent a computer somewhere and install everything up to and including your favourite Linux distribution, and maybe you'll even set it all up securely. That's ridiculous. We've had the internet for decades now, you should just be able to download a zip file with an app in it in a standard format and put it on a standard server and expect it to work securely.

In practice, the nearest thing we ever had to that is that Lamp stack. This is, I think, a big part of why Wordpress is so popular — it's easier to find a hosting service that runs Wordpress and configure it with plugins to be what you need than it is to set up and install a second server stack.

Obviously we'll always want to be able to just connect computers running arbitrary code to the internet, but we should have *something* that's easy and standardised by now (but then, when have software developers every tried to make this stuff *more* accessible to regular people?)

Do you like terminals? Do you have too many terminals? Do you like things that go zoop zoop and move around? Check out my wideboi here.

(I'm screwing around with building a terminal multiplexer because I'm a masochist)

@selectric it's abandonware but honestly the best non-itunes experience we've had managing an ipod library

@selectric we use foo_dop and it converts it for us when we add them to the ipod

why can't we sort artists without articles? why can't the screen turn off and go into low power mode without a hard shut down of the system? why can't i make menu go up a level instead of previous track?

the answer to most of these is because someone in 2007 said so

rockbox is infuriating not in a way that makes me want to fork it and fix it but rather in a way that makes me want to just use the stock ipod os instead
