I’d argue they’re the most vocal about it, but no. They release a half lobotomized set of tools, they keep making modder unfriendly changes to the games (recompiling the exe for no reason every time a new cc mod was released for Skyrim, which meant you needed to wait for skse to update too) including having load order broken at launch in Starfield. Also the many ways and attempts they’ve made at monetising mods with them getting a cut. Not to mention this new Oblivion game needs new tools to work with it and once again like with Skyrim VR, “modding is unsupported”, though that could just be a decision made by the Devs since they’re developed by third party studios.

I’d say Larian is actually pulling their weight tho, with bg3 modding going quite well and them frequently highlighting mods on their twitter. Also CDPR who looked at the most popular mods and added them to the base game as polished features.

Yeah that’s partly what I meant by debugging

This is why even though English is my second language I will set software to be in English, I know any translations into my primary language will use weird and uncommon phrases (also makes debugging harder)

Does China actually import anything from the US?

Did you like, not read any of the comment you’re replying to? Click any of the picture links?

Had me until the vr point. Vr has so many great uses from manufacturing and engineering to teaching and practicing medicine in a way that gives you a 3D presentation of schematics or human bodies.

Commercially vr is doing ok, but many of the issues have come from Meta bottlenecking the vr world by buying up all the big studios then having them make cheap mobile phone game-level experiences instead of really expanding the scope of things.

Nope, look into Bazzite for an easy Linux distro to set up

Eh can’t really blame it for not being more open I think to customisation, it is an issue but not really a UX one I think. Any UI could be faulted for that then, not being customisable enough. As for apps not written for it again, not something they have control over. Could say the same about any DE, or even Mac or windows when they use non standard blocks

I disagree, they’ve got a consistent UX framework across the board, inputs are clear, navigation is the same across gdk apps. Is it consistent with other DEs? Not quite. But all gnome apps are easy to use, have pleasing UIs and generally share patterns that make it easy to see them as part of the same family even if an app is third party.

Not necessarily, but humans are creatures of habit. If your app doesn’t follow existing patterns, you better have a good reason for it.

It is true however that UX research is pretty poor on Linux, outside of say Gnome, but I think Linux apps could also take notes from market leaders and see what works from them and why.

It’s not always just a spreadsheet comparison of features, it’s considering the UX for different screens and user journeys and comparing them to one another.

The problem is even if a designer contributes (say they open an issue with design feedback or even wireframes and such) developers seldom see as much value in a redesign as there is in working on features they care about, because open source is driven by developers making apps that they would use firstly.

The year of GOG lmao

Less time on it means less chance to get addicted. It becomes less standard to have it out around friends

Kids shouldn’t be stressing about the shit that comes up in social media feeds or the insecurities social media preys on. It’s also not a choice, because if some kids use it and others can’t the others will feel excluded.

While I agree, it’s also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don’t make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work

Here’s some thoughts I posted on a different post https://lemmy.world/comment/15822959 I was running jellyfin off the same server and hardware as Plex, yet it’s less efficient and performant.

Cool then buy at least one copy of a book instead of pirating them.

What’s wrong with just using tidal in a browser? Zen just added a media player widget too so it’s almost like having a native app that’s always controllable on screen

Honestly I’ve tried jellyfin and I have a hard time agreeing with this for a few reasons:

• UI generally more unresponsive than Plex;
• changes to correct a show/movie being assigned the wrong show/movie metadata very slow to propagate if at all, same for changing other library options like title language preference;
• generally slower to buffer and get into videos;
• very rough android lollipop UI;
• not as easy to set up tech illiterate friends for play together.

I’ll give you that morally jellyfin is less customer-adverse than Plex management is at the moment and it is more open in some ways so you can have more plugins and add-ons that Plex lacks, and sure it’s a free product so it should be given some leeway.

… but if I just listened to all of the people saying jellyfin is just so much better I’d think it was an objectively better offering, but it’s not. When it comes to what I care about, it fell short, so just giving my 2 cents. Still worth trying, considering you can just point it to the same media folders, but yeah not god’s gift on earth.
