Ah yes… Pre-crime… Just like all those utopian sci-fi novels.

As I approach 40 I’ve been trying to make fashion choices that are something like ‘stylish aloof professor’ but I’m always worried that I end up in the ‘douchebag psuedointellectual buffoon’ category like this chode of a human being.

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years…

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.

I really like using the PopShell extension on Gnome. I’m hoping it doesn’t die out when Pop moves to their new Cosmic DE. So far I still prefer Gnome.

Thank you. It looks like this is sort of working in that I can get the additional buttons to show up in Steam now but I’m hitting what I think is a bug where the ‘Enable Extended Buttons’ toggle doesn’t stay enabled. After searching a bit it seems like I’m not the only one but maybe that will get worked out soon.

I want the Ubiquiti Doorbell Pro (wired Ethernet) but it’s always sold out. Plus I’ve been hesitant to spend ion a Cloud Gateway or Dream Machine. I just wish I could use my own storage.

I need to just bite the bullet though.

Won’t longer key lengths increase the overhead for everything?

Bazzite is great.

I have an Ultimate 2 and I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that so I can’t remap the back buttons with Steam input.

What’s the trick?

Their controllers are amazing but the naming convention is so bad.

Definitely do not do tapes.

I’d also recommend Backblaze. Their S3 compatible storage is pretty affordable. I backup to a Kopia repo and then replicate to Backblaze nightly.

Tapes require so much more work to keep up to date and mght not even be cheaper over time.

Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I’m always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It’s not something I worry about very much.

I had one of these in translucent purple to match the Gameboy and it was dope.

I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. https://github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

Yeah that’s a pretty important distinction. I can buy Rimworld from the Steam store, or I can buy a Rimworld Steam key straight from the Ludeon website for the same price or I can buy a DRM copy for less I just won’t get Steam features like automatic updates, cloud saves, or the mod workshop.

Seems reasonable they don’t want you using the platform for distribution while undercutting the storefront price.

So can developers just ‘create’ steam keys out of thin air that can be used to activate their game on steam? Does Valve get paid when the keys are created or activated? Or not at all?

Seems fair maybe if it’s using all of Steams infrastructure, considering developers can distribute the game themselves without steam keys.

Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.

Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn’t use it as a primary workstation.

No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance’s massive hate-filled titties.

On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.

On a desktop? No. It’s not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.

This way when I walk in I can find an open urinal between two people, pull my pants down to my ankles, put my arms around each of them and piss without touching my dick at all.
