Haven’t seen this meme for a while.

I once spent $10 on a mobile game. You can get a special item by purchasing gems or by winning coins for which you have to grind for a year. After getting the item, i felt so disgusted that I gave up mobile gaming and shifted to PC.

Excuse me but I heard that the real problem with gamblers is that 99% of them quit before winning big.

Fair enough. What we desperately need is proper social media / modern internet education right from middle school level. Identifying dark patterns, echo chambers, bot/human impersonators, fake news. I feel like this awareness is missing in both youngsters and boomers.

I was a normie once. I too fell for misinformation in the past. If it wasn’t for the freely available information on the internet, I wouldn’t be here today.

enjoy the mainstream memes and discussion, but avoid the algorithmic content slop from them. That’s how I see the fediverse. It’s a win in my book.

I call it a layer 8 issue

There are 2 types of programming languages

• The type everyone keeps complaining about
• The type no one uses

Excellent, my dude!

There is a leg press machine at my gym which doesn’t go full depth (“for the safety of the clients”). I have to put a bunch of yoga mats behind my back to get any depth. Such a pain to setup.

I earliest I expect a Steam Deck 2 to come out would be in middle 2025

4000 hours on record

Review: I spent over $500 worth of DLC on this game but I hate it! They never implemented the features community asked for.

Devs: And we love you for that!

I am interested in knowing what’s the bandwidth to transmission power ratio of the device. If it’s low enough, it would be revolutionary for IoT devices.

• Take Steam Deck
• Wipe OS and install Bazzite/Nobara
• Install Heroic Launcher / Non Steam Launcher
• Install games from them

Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down

• Get ISOs of games in a USB drive
• Plug it into the deck and install

Hi there, just a small correction. Compared to existing linux distros, it’s slightly different. Steam OS is an immutable OS, which means you can’t edit the root partition (Like you can’t edit the C:\ drive in Windows). This is both good and bad.

Good -> Users can’t mess up their device while trying to mess around with it. Updates are smooth because Valve knows the previous state of the OS.

Bad -> It’s bad only for extreme power users as it’s not fully customizable. You can’t run your own kernel, install certain build packages to do some advanced stuff. But this is a tiny tiny bad.

Overall, Steam OS is great and I believe will be the gateway for the general PC crowd.

Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You’re done

You mean to say that my great-grandson can finally play Destiny 2 on Linux? Sweet!

The only pure-linux issues that I have faced in the last few years are due to Wayland. And it’s not an issue, it’s just the legacy application has not yet embraced Wayland yet. Otherwise it has been smooth sailing for me.

Congratulations. I can barely do 225 but 10 reps.

However, make sure to go full ROM.

Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder!
