They run on them, but its not that easy compared to a web app. Why isn’t everyone programming in machine code? Every other language literally runs on it. There is a reason we use abscractions.

Isnt that the “its not 100% confirmed, so please don’t sue us” word?

Here is a 1440p 120fps HEVC example over wifi. Left screen is my PC. Analyzing it frame by frame it would guess a added delay of 16-32ms on my Galaxy Tab S7, idk how much of that is the response time of the tablet screen. Note this is without the low latency mode which I disabled because I had some frame pacing over wifi with it.

Im streaming over wifi and it says average encode latency 4-7ms depending on the day, but thats just what the software reports. I haven’t had any issues with it.

You can still game stream with sunlight + moonlight. And the advantage is that it works with any brand GPU.

I have never see a tech illiterate person complain that Microsoft has a monopoly over computing.

Im not talking about the operating system switch. That is the trivial part. Getting software to run on wine can involve a tinkering. Sure you can run a VM, but then you have 2 operating systems you need to take care of. Also there are a lot of add on’s for proprietary programs that might not run well even if you got the bas program to run. And then if you go through the VM route you might need hardware Passthrough.

All these things are possible for people that want to put the time into it. But the majority of the population doesn’t want to spend time on stuff like this. They would rather pay for the convenience and put up with AD’s.

Take my father for example, he is completely incompetent when it comes to technology. His new PC has Windows 11 and he still plays Solitaire. Which is now plastered with AD’s, but he doesn’t care enough to do something about it.

The average end user just has his priorities somewhere else.

Yeah its called lemmy.

Yeah, but a lot of users want something that does exactly what they want without tinkering. Why does everyone in the Linux community project their readiness to tinker forever on the average user.

Just because there is a “alternative” doesn’t mean its nearly equal in functionality.

At these speeds it’s like asking a CPU to run cool under workload. Your options are:

Active cooling

Slower speeds

Transistor breakthrough

If your pc still boots.

For a lot of things I previously used a FPGA for im using the RP2040 now. Since its dirt cheap and the PIO capability is amazing. And the prototyping speed of thr RP2040 is amazing. I basically put python on it and build a working prototype and then port it to rust if I need more performance. It will not be able to replace FPGA’s for very complex tasks, but for a lot of the use cases it can.

But doesn’t that make it harder to get discovered? Im not into blogs, so I know nothing about tumblr or self hosted blogs.

It wouldn’t hurt forcing them to allow other app stores to be listed in the app store.
