It's so expensive to upgrade...

Pick up a 980ti for like $50-80, play anything before like 2020 easily. There's no rules that you can't have an inexpensive rig but ancient integrated graphics are kinda terrible

What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
Karma. I feel like that will push Lemmy in a way that isn't healthy.

Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?

the worst part is you'd almost always end commenting in a thread that gets deleted due to rules etc if you tried to get ahead of the curve and comment in a brand new post. I'm way more active here because I'm trying to help build the community.

They would be completely ruined if they were doing any of these things and proven to be doing them. Nothing to worry about for now.

How can we help? I'm glad to share some knowledge if anything doesn't make sense.

That's the problem with how most things Lennart designs are. They are typically 70-80 percent excellent ideas brilliantly architected, 10-20 percent decisions that we can agree to disagree on but well designed still, and ~10 percent horrifically bad ideas that he is unable to receive criticism on because of his standing, terrible attitude and ~90 percent good and acceptable ideas.
Another problem is that they all seem to be designed in a way that they are the One True Way to do something and are designed to choke out any alternatives because Lennart Knows Best.
I'm still ambivalent about having this much extra logic and complexity attached to my init system but the ship sailed long ago and I'm well into making lemonade at this point.

Which phone to get? ROG Phone 6 vs. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

things have come a long way in the last 5 years or so. i have a lot of bad things to say about Samsung software but updates/support is good now. that being said, I'm on a pixel as a primary device at the moment so YMMV

Sometimes occasionally but they're probably never going to be cheap. Too hard/expensive to manufacture which is why folks like Samsung keep trying really hard with quantum dot LED panels.
That being said, I regret nothing about purchasing my LG C9 OLED TV a couple years ago. Works fantastic, looks fantastic and I pretty much never use the built in UI for anything by going to a Nvidia Shield for my content/streaming needs. I think the LG C series does an excellent job and it occasionally goes on sale during holidays/Black Friday.

Google Pixel phones (easily allows bootloader unlock and custom ROM if you need to but I can't be bothered until EOS most of the time)
Nothing Phone (same as above but with different light skin, interesting design and not Google if that bothers you)

I have fun like this with my M1 Mac Mini. They refuse to put HDMI 2.1 on anything other than their buy up options so 4k60 HDR just isn't happening well. There have been a couple of adapters that will allow you to do so on a Mac mini but they've been "revised" shortly after the discovery to prevent it. I'd buy an M2 mini for my entertainment center but I'm not spending 4 figures on a media center/emulation PC lol
