If something killed XMPP for me - it was Matrix. On open source replacement that is not only more popular, but has more active development and it’s easier to use. No big company required. And since XMPP is still alive for its niche user base and EU is probably the reason for Threads federation - I don’t think this is the right hill to die on.
It’s apparently independent again - announced in July 2023. here’s the announcement
I am on lemmy.zip and had no problems so far. I really don’t have anything more to say.
+1 for Repainter. I bought it when it didn’t use a subscription yet. It’s really great for theming your device!
If you want just a good file manager with the FTP server option - I use Material Files, which is free and open source app. here’s the link
I expected that, so I don’t rush to buy it and use either Deck or the GuliKit, which is great.
I think the Xbox form factor is fine. I’ve used DualShock 3 and 4 a lot, also Joycons and Steam Deck, but I don’t mind the different layout. The ergonomics are good. Better than Joycons and maybe even the DualShock. I haven’t used DualSense though. The Steam Deck is superior for me, because I always use the right track pad, since it’s much better for controlling the view than a joystick is. Maybe I’ll try to get a Steam Controller sometime, but till then I am completely satisfied with KingKong 2 Pro.
I use it wirelessly with my Linux PC and Nintendo Switch. The latency is completely fine - I don’t have any problems with it. Yes, the buttons are dampened, the loudness never bothered me. Overall, I am satisfied with my choice.
+1 from me. Fedora is a nice middle ground - stable, polished, yet adopting new things fast.
Nice! I am liking your GuliKit controller - I use the KingKong 2 Pro often and it’s great.
There is one big reason why they would care - antitrust and EU regulation protection. They have no intention to destroy the platform Rather they want to please the regulators as they are leveraging the open standards. The EEE strategy is a conspiracy theory. Government regulations are the most probable reason for this change.
