Yep. I mean, better hardware specs are a really good thing, but that alone does not make me want to buy a device.

Me too :) I’m gaming exclusively on Linux for more than 5 years now. The Steam Deck was a blessing for this already amazing Linux gaming ecosystem, so I had to buy one (actually two now, I really wanted the OLED version 😁)

It’s really funny to see how out of touch those companies are with the portable consoles. They clearly don’t understand what makes the Steam Deck a good console. They focus on the hardware specs and that’s it, minimal work on the software side (ROG Ally is at least trying). Valve nailed it with the Steam Deck in various aspects: hardware is good, CAD files are available so it’s highly customizable, but the cherry on top is the software integration, it is amazing and it’s always improving. IMHO software is the real reason for Deck’s success (OS, Proton, compatibility badges, etc).

I’m using BorgBase with Vorta (desktop client for Borg Backup) and I’m pretty happy with it.

STOP USING JAVA

I hate .NET with a passion

I understand people not wanting to support Linux, that’s fine. But complaining like that guy did is just stupid. Complains about auto-generated bug reports from people that play the game and then complains about that same group of people of participating in the forums. 🤦

Well, that’s even worse. You are auto-generating bug reports and complaining about the users that send those reports 🤦

How fucking idiot would you have to be to complain about users sending bug reports. Linux users usually send very detailed bug reports, which can uncover bugs that might happen on all platforms.

Offset analog sticks was a mistake

I was getting really pissed seeing that Pointieststick had to explain the same fucking thing OVER AND OVER again. I don’t know if the gnome dev in question is stupid or just trolling.

Oh yes, the good ol’ disk destroyer!

Oh yeah. I would love to replace Python with Nim. The fact that you can generate self contained executables without effort is a huge selling point for me. And dependency management with Python is just awful.

People joke but when I started playing factorio, I was playing multiplayer with my brother and a friend. We played for almost 24hrs straight. I remember going to sleep afterwards and seeing transport belts when I closed my eyes. THE FACTORY MUST GROW.

Save money, buy an Apple computer. Choose one.

Holy shit, and this is from 2005/2006. It has only gotten worse.

Have you ever checked for hypothyroidism? I was feeling exactly like you described for 2 years. Then, with a blood test, I discovered I had hypothyroidism and started treating it. Feeling a lot better now.

THANKS OP, I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT

You should tell Theo that he will miss her :'(
