I agree for existing products. But for new products before reviews are there. It’s very very hard to make your product stand out. Or to convince buyers to try it out.
As someone who had designed and attempted to sell things. On of my key takeaways has always been the lack of awareness or knowledge of my things exists.
Granted if I put a 50ft build board in the sky it wouldn’t change much. But if I did more than I did… or am doing it would help.
I saw a metaphor in this thread comparing advertising to Smoking. But I think Sugar is a better comparison. Is it needed? No. But a little will go a long way, and some dishes wouldn’t exists without it. Add to much and it ruins the flavour of the dish and isn’t healthy for the consumer.
What is needed is balance and where everything has hyper sugar in it isn’t good for anyone. So I do we need a rethink, but eliminating it outright isn’t the solution.

I developed a Unity Plugin to utilize this. Was really good to see if another one of your own apps was installed

-
KDE is missing a lot of features which still only works in Gnome. Like the taskbar Calendar app syncing events with services like Google Calendar
-
cinnamon is extremely stable and doesn’t move your icons around when you connect to an external display with your laptop and the display has a different resolution.

You loose out on automatic updates and not all packages are easy to build. I am not personally familiar with building Gimp. But I’ve tried to build other projects from GitHub only to get errors I couldn’t decipher.
It’s a skill which not many have.
the16bitgamerto Games@lemmy.world•Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!English1·27 days agoWith endless replay. Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2. Shout out to Open RCT (sim city 3000 is a close second)
Console favourite- The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening
Sound track - Chrono Trigger
That long play (where you forget what you were doing if you put the game down) - Metroid Fusion/Prime
Pokemon - Emerald or Soul Silver depending on my mood.
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint packages are always older and only get updated once everything is stable.
If you are looking for more up to date packages I would recommend using FlatPaks or AppImages since they are usually maintained by the devs and kept up to date.
the16bitgamerto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Question about playing all the mainline Pokemon games on original hardware.English2·1 month agoI made a video a while ago going over the DS line if you want to watch my opinion: https://youtu.be/LAzUY1L0yOE
If you want to go into the nitty gritty 3DBrew has a wiki for it: https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Hardware
However to directly answer your question. 3DS, 2DS and 3DS XL do have minor differences between the versions, at their core are the same machines with an ARM 9 Processor.
3DS was the original release, and while it’s hardware hasn’t aged well. The system sold well enough.
2DS was a budget friendly option, going as low as $99 USD with game bundles. The system only had a single display pretending to be a dual screen.
3DS XL was for those who wanted a bigger screen. Bigger didn’t mean more pixels. Just physically larger.
The New Nintendo 3DS line N3DS, N3DSXL, and N2DSXL were the ones with hardware upgrades and are worth a pretty penny. If you were looking to emulate more than what Nintendo offered this is the one to get.
However if you want more details I’d watch some videos going over them. It’s hard to understand their differences without seeing it.
the16bitgamerto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Question about playing all the mainline Pokemon games on original hardware.English2·1 month agoThen you’ll definitely want an DS or DS Lite and the R4 since you can backup your cart and make your own ROM with it.
The GBxCart is also another good value backup tool.
3DS and DS games are best backed up on a modded 3DS
the16bitgamerto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Question about playing all the mainline Pokemon games on original hardware.English1·1 month agoSince doing things legit is off the table. All you need is a modded 3DS.
With a GBA injector you can play emerald and leaf green/fire red on your 3DS.
With an R4 you can play the DS games, but the Twilight menu++ you can play the DS games on system, and with cia installers you can get the 3DS games too.
If you want to keep things…… authentic. A DSLite plus 3DS is all you need since Everdrive for gba and R4 for DS works. Plus you can transition early and keep playing the same saves on 3ds.
Only considerate is if you need the IR from Heart Gold or Black 1 or 2. Twilight Menu I think allows you to use non Pokemon games with IR as a substitute… can’t remember what game. But I think it works.
If you live in Southern Ontario. Another Canadian Brand is Reid’s Dairy.

the16bitgamerOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Wanted to make my own charger for my Garmin Watch.English2·1 month agoNormally I would, but the models is partially corrupt, it doesn’t print right, and it only works with larger Garmin. So I am not uploading it

My story is a simple one.
I turned on my computer I logged in, did some work, played some games then I turned it off.
No one tried to murder me (force updates), or put me in a potato (notification ads), or feed me to birds (change my defaults). I had a pretty good life.
the16bitgamerto Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Ploopy mice are designed and made in Canada, repairable, and open source4·1 month agoDepends the part, depends on the quality.
3D printing is great for small scale manufacturing and is production ready. But the QC needs to be top notch. Plus not everyone has or can use a 3d printer.
That said, if you sell 3d prints it needs to be disclosed, and you need to offer a decent warranty.
I make 3d printed e-reader cases. I designed it to be repairable and these parts have a very long warranty for the 3d printed parts since I know they won’t be as durable as injection molded.
Nope, dasie chaining multiple link cables. Apparently 4 player adapters only work with 4
