It’s not centralized, it’s also not a federated network like AP. It’s just a different design.
Not quite true. You can host your own personal data store (PDS), run your own labelling service, and you can host your own feeds.
The big relays and app views are the only thing that aren’t really supported by the official app yet.
I swear that half the reason I want one of these is because the updates look so exciting for y’all. Really happy for steam deck owners.
I’d like to see them try if only to see what software they integrate into the device. Apple excels when they control hardware and software top to bottom and a controller would really benefit from that. One button game capture and share, or a special game specific UI when the controller connects? Or Siri language processing maybe? Some mag safe integrations? Multiplayer messaging and calling integrated into iMessage (don’t need a controller for that but whatever).
If Apple really wanted to make the iPhone a game console I’d be all in if they were, but I really can’t stand the half asses approach they are taking now. It can play RE8 natively? Cool! I’ll never touch it if the gameplay with an actual controller is an afterthought!
Having said all that… the BackBone looks dope as hell and I want one. It’s what I would expect Apple would develop in house
Not while every game in the store uses terrible touch controls.
Sell an official controller and maybe a TV dock and then we’ll talk.
That frosted glass looks neat but I get the feeling the photos aren’t doing it justice. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person.
Earn points through generating content and moderation? Okay, sure, why not?
Use those points to weigh votes in community governance? Suuuure, okay I can see how that could be cool.
The points are on the blockchain? Uh… so what’s stopping rich assholes from buying up points and using their capital to take over communities?
If the points are non-transferable then I can see the merit of a points system… but then why would you need a blockchain at all? It’s all still a closed off walled garden despite what they are pitching.
I don’t know the answer for Lemmy, but I know this is something a number of Mastodon clients have implemented. It should be possible?
