  • its a fairly niche thing, mostly used for fighting games.

    most fighting games are, at least to some extend, based on streetfighter 2, a game that released on arcade hardware, before analogue sticks were a thing.
    so most fighting games can be played just fine without analogue sticks.

    most enthusiasts played on arcade style controllers, where the stick works more like a dpad on modern controllers.
    but some players started switching from sticks to a 4 directional button “leverles” setup.
    some say that it is more ergonomic or more precise.

    there is a learning curve to using it, but that is imo verry dependent on what controller you used before, and how you think about it.


  • i remember these kinda discussions from a few years ago, when waterseer had a similar idea.

    how well these devices work is strongly related to how humid the air is.

    and the places where these kind of devices would actually be useful (like deserts) have very low humidity,

    to the point were there is almost no water in the air to be harvested.

    atmospheric water harvesting has only been somewhat feasible in environments that usually have better methods to get water,
    and even there they are ineficcient to the point where people consider it a scam



















  • sounds just a tad paranoid.

    the android situation is not really comparable to desktop linux.

    google has a monopoly over the distribution of all apps, android has never really been independent of the playstore.

    unlike desktop linux which has an established ecosystem already

    they can lockdown their steamdeck & steamos but there is no point in running steamos unless it comes preinstalled.

    and they cant really make the installation on other distros more “fidly”, because the package manager handles installing software.
