Streamlining and optimizing work, fixing technical debt and killing bugs. Yup, looks good

To expand on the translation metaphor:

Trying to run a window program on Linux (without proton) is like trying to read a completely alien text. Your have basically 0 in common and no way to understand it

Proton is doing the translator job of helping. And it’s doing a great job for a lot of the alien language. Which is why so many programs and games work on Linux with proton

But even it can’t always be perfect, and if the language is using some weird dialect, it might not understand or misinterpret things, which causes games to be buggy or unplayable on Linux

similarly: I bought anti-snore bite guard to help with sleep apnea.

Feeling actually refreshed after waking up feels unreal

I’m just here for the innevitable 10 year search for this lost media

just like life

It’s easier to source a screen with a particular size that has standard resolution.

The steamdeck has a super awkward resolution that doesn’t fit into any standard aspect ratio. Which creates problems with some games.

If you want to play games on a lower resolution for performance reasons, you can always just to that. Games don’t need to run on the native resolution.

Playing a lower resolution on a screen that has a higher one will generally also make the image look nicer, as the DPI is higher. (just be careful and don’t scale to some weird fractional scales)

I was about to say “look interesting, but I’m going to wait for reviews”, but it seems that I need to do that anyway:

[…] for the initial launch, CE compliance will not be pursued and DeckSight will not be available in EU countries that conform to CE

meh

You can’t just replace the licence with a new, more restrictive, one. Unless each and every contributor to the codebase agrees

Stop putting the nerds from accounting into lockers

as long as you’re not breaking the law or anything like that

unless it’s against the law to be atheist. Then fuck the law (but better be not so vocal about it)

it was a little bit intended as the joke (although a true one)

After finally upgrading to a 1TB ssd yesterday, I can finally splurge on some bigger games.

So right now I’m mostly playing vampire survivors

Note that these switches mainly trigger a magnetic sensor to switch the power to the camera

It’s not physically disconnecting it.

And in theory you can move the bezel away from the display a bit to activate the camera, if you have physical access (although you’d probably notice if something bulges the bezel)

luckily people can do both if they want to

Creators get a lot more money per view than ad based views

Tesla will buy them next week

transparent custom shells already exist. the problem is, that transparent plastics tend to be more brittle than solid colors

iirc it’s what they did in central park. Don’t create paths and later pave the desire paths that show up

Last Week Tonight will have more material than they know what to do with it

You say it like it’s a bad thing
