There is a Mastodon frontend with a Tinder-like interface: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/fedimatch/id6503460577

What an episode, my friends. I have no words to describe how I'm feeling.

Oh, for sure!

I did see lots of youtube videos using theese handhelds as "gaming pcs", or from someone whose main workflow is office work... I'm having a hard time find any article about general development. At max, I did find some reddit comments saying they use a Steam Deck for gaming dev, which makes a lot of sense if the Deck is the target.

To really succeed as a developer, I’ve sometimes needed to be willing to make risky changes to my development machine, that I’m not willing to do to my gaming machine.

My plan is to install BazziteOS (Fedora Silverblue derivative) on the device to have a "stable" OS with all the dev environment on distrobox containers or something like that.

I'm not sure if it's going to work, though.

I’d strongly recommend against it. Nothing to do with specs or viability but psychologically you’ll want to play games - they’re enjoyable.

This is my main concern, if I'm being completely honest.

But that also applies the other way arround. I'm a bit of a workaholic, so most of the time I open my current notebook on the sofa I start to code. Having a device without a physical keyboard may stop me from on working outside my workroom or coding during vacations, for example.

It is 24GB of RAM (12 GB x 2), but from my research, 8GB are dedicated to video memory. So it leaves 16GB "usefull" for development.

Also, display is not a concern as my monitor is 1080p.

Finally a character teaser that's not all about sorrow, pain and suffering!

Now I'm wanting to play we her

A few things I really liked about this episode:

First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the "Fediverse is not only Mastodon", but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our "bubble".

Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @emilyyoung@tech.lgbt go follow her). But Emily always was the "weird person that uses Linux" in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using "alternative social media". Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn't get the "Fediverse vibe" from him. Which is good. Very good.

Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.

Jakob, I have a feeling you're reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.

Well... I did, it was fun to see the IT support team of my work shaking every time they access my machine to some maintenance:

I'm just waiting for the president of my country to start federating, then I can follow him from Mastodon and delete my Threads account.

I see it as a positive thing

I'd suggest "No Game No Life", but it is a controversial title (especially about its fan service), so I also advise caution.
