I’m not sure a Steam Deck 2 or 3 or 4, etc… mini, with efficient battery will be launched some day.

Lithium batteries are about as good as it gets and everyone is using pretty much the same tech at this point. More improvements are being made every day in processor efficiency but the Steam Deck is about as good as it gets. The 800p display helps.

With the SteamOS I was starting to think if maybe I should try to build my own handheld.

Yeah but…

Too bulky

You’re not getting any slimmer. Many have made DIY Steam Decks and they’re MUCH more bulky.

Well primarily because this is the wrong tool for the job. Compared to something like a LilyGo T-Deck, this thing is way bigger and way less efficient. Lasts a few hours vs. several days. But also because this guy charges a fat premium to put it in a 3D-printed case.

Brave also offers a few additional, very valuable things:

• the only app that reflects fingerprinting protection in PrivacyBadger, in my experience
• works on most webpages
• selective use of first-party cookies, per site.

That’s helpful, thank you. This is something I have deliberately looked for and been unable to find, which is disappointing. I’m happy to admit I was wrong.

which isn’t blank, and describes what it is.

But nothing about what to do with it. What is a prospective user supposed to do with this?

All of these links just lead to blank pages.

If you actually click those links there’s nothing there.

PieFed is much newer, has many many MANY fewer users, and seems to already have many more instances.

I cant even see this text without agreeing to a ToS and I’m simply not doing that.

I’m not at all an expert on the subject, but I would ask: if it’s so easy and cheap, why aren’t more people hosting them? As far as I can tell there are only a handful in existence.

Yeah, I’m seeing a lot of misdirection and reframing of the situation here. Should we be “cool” and “respectful”, yes, absolutely. Should we all agree ATP is a good idea and worth adopting? Absolutely not. It should be rejected until they figure out how to properly decentralize. As of now the protocol itself seems to fundamentally require so many resources that it disqualifies it from any sort of meaningful discussion. I hope to be wrong. Maybe as they inevitably grow to become excessively shittier, some other hosts will step in.

I was wrong.

Is it “open” sure, but not in any meaningful way as long as 99.99% of users are hosted by the same server.

The former

My parents absolutely do not make informed decisions and did not raise me to.

Okay but why

Must not be important to them then.

Harder to monetize a page of text

You haven’t provided any evidence. Only an anecdote.

Okay so you don’t have any evidence.

Even if they are, like I mentioned elsewhere, just get a VoIP number.
