If Battlebit’s performance is good for the Steam Deck, I think I would get back into it easily

From Ebay it sure doesn’t. That’s like claiming Nintendo gets a cut of second hand cartridge sales.

Man VR team shooters are like the secret sauce to make this kind of thing accessible and fun lol.
In Pavlov VR, your opponents and teammates can hear you when you’re speaking, so you end up using hand gestures with your teammates or just holding your guns in goofy ways so you can point them in the direction you want your team to go.

Wonder if having the game dev for their category on the steam forum have moderator status would be a good medium (could promote staff or community members to mod status)

Steam workshop’s always awesome, I use that for bug reports. Modders tend to be chill people.

Their handheld? I think it’ll sell worse than the steamdeck clones.

Yes, but they are almost never exercised unless it involves legal requirements - Valve’s ideals are very much “We will not bother anyone unless we have to”, which is nice for people who want to forge spaces but sucks when people show up to be shitheads.

Valve’s hands-off philosophy with almost all of their social components is one of those massive double-edged swords, as anyone who trades steam items will tell you as well.
- Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month 1 week ago:
There is a rational reason for it - some types of software expect Ubuntu during their installation and usage (especially game server panels for some reason), and I’d imagine they wouldn’t work properly if Mint was closer to Debian than Ubuntu.
- Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month 1 week ago:
I’ve found Mint to be more stable compared to my Ubuntu installations because the Mint team doesn’t include the fluff and bad design decisions when making releases.

- Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month 1 week ago:
If you want my two cents, Mint’s default Desktop Environment (Cinnamon) is far more windows-like compared to Ubuntu, and Mint includes more quality of life applications for less tech savvy people compared to Ubuntu out of the box. (Mainly graphical apps for updates, backups, disk management, etc…)
I first tried Ubuntu when I was starting my Linux journey, but it didn’t really click until I used Mint. Save yourself some pain and go for Mint first :)
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 2 weeks ago:
A removable physical or electronic SIM on a system that has full control of inbound or outbound traffic (linux phone) would still be a whole lot better than nothing. Imagine having a switch to reliably sever any heartbeat signals between the tower and the device at any time.

I’ll do you one better. Murders have been committed using data purchased from brokers: wired.com/…/minnesota-lawmaker-shootings-people-s…
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 2 weeks ago:
GrapheneOS already runs google play services in a sandbox that doesn’t have core access to the device’s functionality (you can lie about giving apps storage access or location data, for example), and because you already have alternatives to ad-based services (CoMaps, Thunderbird, etc…) you should be safer from telemetry often hidden inside of popular apps like Google Maps.
Nothing’s bulletproof, of course, but the difference with GrapheneOS is that you can see what’s going on, grant permissions selectively to certain apps, or opt out entirely by only installing F-droid apps or using Graphene’s FOSS suite. You don’t have pre-baked telemetry at all, so nothing for them to harvest.

:rofl: why would they? All that is already for sale, pally. Find a data broker, fork over twenty bucks, and all that info is fair game. Hell, fire up a TOR client, find a data breach that contains your device’s MAC address or static IP, pay five or ten bucks, and same deal, but now I can drain your credit card.

I’ve been hooked on The Finals for my destruction shooter fix, since the development team (Embark Studios) is mostly composed of ex-DICE employees. They’re upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.

Fair, EA abandonware is pretty good. Anything currently actively developed (2010s onward) is not worth playing.
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 2 weeks ago:
It’s crossplay, so it’s harder to directly estimate, but using SteamDB (so not counting being matchmade with console players) roughly 15-20k playing at any given time.

Hop on the finals, my man, it’s made by ex-DICE employees.

I enjoy browsing the repositories and reading their patch notes in the README, but I know that’s not for everyone. It’s just usually annoying for an OP to write a summary when the source is right there (in the link).
In regards to LLM stuff, you probably could just skip over the posts, since it’s just version changes.

I wonder if an archivist-oriented Fediverse instance would gain traction - maybe it could be coordinated with an organization like Wikimedia
