I think a peer to peer model could work for social media, but if you’re trying to sell it using a pepe meme, I’m not interested…

But fundamentally… Why not implement what you’re thinking ontop of ActivityPub or ATProto than rolling your own thing? None of the issues you’ve described facing them are particularly insurmountable. They just need a bit of devwork.

I think convention is for files served by the server to go in /srv or even /usr/lib.

I’d be very surprised if this is true. Adding a D pad and extra button at the last minute and redesigning the controller entirely feels a bit of a stretch. And it looks a bit strange having a dedicated “arm” just for a single button, especially if it’s the start button (rather than a hypothetical “D” button.

Edit: I didn’t realize there was an actual real photo of one linked as the post, rather than the blurry one in the description thingie. I don’t know what to think.

Now we just need to find a way to integrate systemd into wayland and watch people lose their mind.

A lot of people are saying to just “run steam in a command line”, but for 100% clarity, to do that you search for an application like “terminal” or “console”, then into that just type “steam” and press enter. It should launch steam whilst also writing debug info to the terminal. If you’re lucky, it’ll show some things that are googleable, just don’t worry too much about things marked as “warning”.

Another thing to check is that you have enough free disk space. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been trying to figure stuff out only for it to be broken because I ran out of space.

If your Distro provides Steam in its software centre and isn’t Ubuntu, prefer installing it from there. The Flatpak version of Steam is also fairly serviceable. Both of these will take care of installing dependencies and getting everything set up correctly.

I’ve not really needed it myself, but some people swear by Steam’s “verify integrity of game files” thing. But if you find yourself needing to do that frequently, back everything up since it can indicate hardware failure.

That’s why I always line my pipes with lead.

Nonono, imagine a house. But instead of doors it had no doors.

That’s why Windows is so insecure. Since viruses can use the windows as doors.

Closed source is more secure because the viruses can’t see where to get in.

I know it’s difficult, but I’d like for a terminal to have copy-paste work correctly, even over SSH. Most of my shell config fiddling has been trying to get copy-paste working through tmux+emacs+ssh in a way that doesn’t require xsel.

Other than that, one thing I’m missing from Alacritty is tabs. I know I can/should use tmux, but oftentimes I’ve launched a long-running command and then realized I want to do something else in another terminal.

Thing is, unlike other vendor lockins, it’s on GOG and Epic for not providing a launcher. It’s super easy to install alternate launchers on the Steam Deck, it’s just Epic and GOG haven’t released official ones yet…

Nothing says “Linux” more than paying a megacorp to steal the hard work of artists…

I’m of the opinion that a lot of the “problems” with autism come from societal issues and lack of education rather than an innate thing.

Everyone has problems they need to work through. It’s just that autistic people don’t get the support they need.

… It really is a shame that they still make it seem that being autistic is a problem…

If they found that it increases your chances of being gay or something, I’m sure their language would be much more respectful (if they published it at all).

I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was “⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐” due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.

So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.
