  I remember the flop, but since Proton and Steam Deck have been waiting for them to try again. In many ways it might be bad marketing and just adding a “2” to the name would probably help. But in other ways, it might just be them being transparent? Same with the controller. Like they’re owning their past and saying “we still want this, and the time is right this time”

  Yeah, the Steam Machine was the name. It came out before Linux gaming was really a thing if I recall. Before Proton. So I think they just expected game makers to make Linux ports?

  I was gonna buy one of those Lite phones, but it was expensive so I just deleted time-wasting apps and now my smartphone respects my time. Hardest part was getting people to just text me instead of various social media messenger apps. In the end, I deleted my accounts and now everyone from school thinks I’m dead, but those close to me can reach me easily. Sometimes I still binge YouTube via Firefox on my phone though, so I installed “Unhook” which blocks recommended videos, so I can only see what I search for.

  I guess just remember that your smartphone can be dumb too. And still a lot more convenient than a flip phone.

  I’m currently trying to figure out how to use RSS for this reason.

  Literally not about race. It’s about maga (who sometimes are trailer trashy). To be racist, there would need to be a racial component, or at least made by another race with some criticism of white people.

  Are we that degenerate already??

  Today I’m experimenting with Ansible. Wanna try setting up a Docker hosted RSS reader with it. Hopefully will write up controls for my whole Docker server with Ansible once I’m more familiar.

  The hot dogs I’ve been eating all my life didn’t even make the list…

  One time my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I went to pick up some condoms and then we decided to also get some ice cream and the cashier (older lady) gave us like a 3 second look and I thought she was gonna say something but then I said, “the ice cream’s for a friend” and it was the funniest thing I’ve ever said.

  Wife still hasn’t forgiven me. Cashier didn’t say anything. My eyes were watering like crazy as I held in my giggles.
