I love the trackpads on my steam deck, but I think the best part is steam input. Having so much control on their behavior and being able to map various kinds of menus make them so powerful!
The same trackpads with shitty software wouldn’t be half as useful.
TBH I’m not sure wider adoption would worsen things ? Gaming distros would probably ship bullshit anticheat modules by default while the others would not, or at most provide some documentation on how to opt in.
I think it’s quite similar to the situation with NVIDIA proprietary drivers? (I don’t own a graphics card so I’m not super aware on this topic)
I’ve just installed kopia on my home server. The web interface is super simple and it has exactly all the features I want (encryption, differential & retention tweaking).
It works with S3, so I pay less than a cent per GB for a cloud provider from my country. This pricing works best for me because I only backup about 20GB of data.
while we work on making improvements
🤣
The fact that he tried to make it like there is a reasonable reason is delightful.
Back in ~2010, my first dual boot was an Ubuntu. It was fairly easy to run WoW from Linux and it gave me a solid >15fps while Windows ran at less than 10fps.
I was very young at the time but still aware that this was super impressive with extra compatibility layers. That definitely took part in selling Linux to me.
Yeah, I think there was some efforts, until we found out that adding billions of parameters to a model would allow both to write the useless part in emails that nobody reads and to strip out the useless part in emails that nobody reads.
I love how even this flagship feature is just one more lazy shortcut to another app that bloats the context menu 😅
I think it’s worse at conveying the intention and should be a compile-time simplification (I’m too lazy to check if compilers would do it though).
Ah oh I would have never got it X)
Thanks for the explanation!
😮💨
AI assistant tools probably won’t push us on the right direction for this one. (Or maybe they will by encouraging people not to import a different library for any 6-lines function they need?)
I opened the topic while knowing there will be a ton of super enthusiastic and well-constructed answers. I’m not disappointed 🍿
Did zuck say anything relevant to the market in the past 10+years?
It’s a provocation but I’m also kinda curious, with the level of information and consulting he has access to he must be choosing the topics he is relevant about?
I like the vanilla experience with no fear of breaking with an update.
Although as I’m still nerdy I do a lot of per-game tweaking for steam input and a few launch scripts for non-steam games. The desktop utility from steamgriddb is also awesome if you manually setup non-steam games.
My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing …).
Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.
I don’t think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn’t pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.

C’mon, it’s 2025!
no reason to believe it violates “democratic values”
In my country the law is one of the pillars of democracy, but you do you 👍
And I think “vibe” means that they have no experience with programming so they can’t read the code they copy.
So mythical that it’s the first time I hear of this BS 🤷
