Good, I guess. Better than X or Threads.

But Mastodon would be even better. It’s the only one I use anymore, I just wish it was a more active platform.

I keep looking at the white steam deck thinking how great it’d look if I replaced the buttons with an aftermarket set resembling the European SNES

The insecure parts of Linux is mostly on the DE side opposed to the core OS part that servers use. We absolutely will see more vulnerabilities in the future as Linux grows.

There should be the mandatory inclusion of a set of open APIs that pass info like:

• display and audio signal (duh)

• microphone audio (to pass voice commands)

• whether the headlights are on (to offer auto dark mode switching on the display)

• whether the handbrake is engaged (so things like video playback can be a parked-only feature)

• crash sensor activation (so that a phone could, if the user desires, automatically alert emergency services)

• For EVs, battery SoC (so that navigation software can include charging stops seamlessly)

• whether the car is left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive (so on-screen buttons can always be close to the driver, not on the wrong side)

From there on, there can be actual competition in the space. You’re not just limited to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Any app would be able to use this API data.

I know they aren’t equivelant. Yet you treat them like they are.

I’m not.

Yikes.

Thank fuck you don’t have kids.

Oh look, a tankie.

Sorry, I don’t subscribe to your misguided arsekissing of China – a genocidal dictatorship that openly wants to invade Taiwan.

Same goes for Russia who you also seem to be fond of.

I hate this saying because a large amount of the time it really is malice.

Heroic Games Launcher has been improving a lot, now having install scripts like Lutris, more platforms available, and a lot less janky than it used to be.

Bottles I don’t have much experience with for games, but it’s a really good program a lot of people use, and if you like Libadwaita apps it’s pretty amazing.

If you only need Lutris as a game launcher (rather than the install scripts, WINE/Proton-GE, and such), Cartridge is a nice little GTK4/Libadwaita launcher too. But it is just that - a launcher, nothing more.

Whoa settle down there, Charles Benedict Davenport

Ngl a 90s PC beige steam deck would be amazing to run emudeck on

I tried this but even permanent marker kept rubbing off

You can compare equatable things…

Now I know you’re trolling. But that’s better than someone who genuinely does think child rape is fine, so that’s good.

You did equate them.

I hope you are never around children.

Idk where you live, but a number of countries give you a 14 day cool-off period where you can return purchases for any reason.

Yeah I get that SteamOS wouldn’t, but Valve themselves have explicitly stated people should use Flatpaks, not distro repos or Snaps (perhaps with an exception for Arch repos if what you say is correct).

Seems very weird to me.

I assumed this was already the case but regardless this is a great change!

I hope more developers get their apps verified. It boggles my mind that the Steam flatpak isn’t verified, for example (even more bizarre is that Valve encourage people to use the Steam flatpak despite it being unofficial!)

Hopefully the Flathub website, Gnome, Cinnamon, and now Plasma showing verified app status will be the kick up the arse devs need.

Honestly, this is a no-brainer from Taiwan’s POV. The second our economies can get by without Taiwan is the second various governments start questioning whether it’s worth it to ally with them, especially with China trying to undermine Taiwan and anybody who supports them all they can.

In a bizarre way, semiconductor manufacturing for Taiwan has become like nuclear weapons are for other countries.

They’ve made themselves effectively uninvadable because doing so would be an absolute catastrophe for everyone else, including the aggressor.

It’s shocking how much it lines up with MAD doctrine, yet in a completely non-lethal way.

I want advanced semiconductor manufacturing to be less centralised, but Taiwan would be foolish to give up this leverage and security.

You’ve done it every comment where you compared them, as if they’re equal.

You’re either a troll or someone I would not be comfortable having my kids around.

That’s what the lyrics say though.

On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.

The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.
