Quoting: pleasereadthemanualWhat is ownership?

Private property.

Like your organs for example.

What is a crime against the super organism is good for you.

What is a crime against you is good for the super organism.

You cannot optimize one without hurting the other.

Quoting: Leahi84I guess in addition I prefer the high end graphics and resolution my PC and 1440 monitor gives me, so it's just not interesting to me to play that stuff in a smaller screen with graphics turned down. To each their own.

I have some pretty expensive Linux Gaming rigs 6900 XT, 7900 XT -- Threadripper and I gotta say that I play my Steam Deck OLED practically every day.

Lately I use my Steam Deck in conjunction with my Desktop - 4k @ 50" and 4k @ 75" and for me it makes Steam Controller v2 unnecessary because it literally is v2 with twin joysticks for like Halo MCC and other FPS.

I pre-ordered it out of obligation where mouth meets money, and since then I've probably ordered at least 7 or 8 mostly as gifts -- Valve and the Community have done an amazing job.

Liam is on point in the article the OLED 90hz version is lighter, easier to hold in odd positions and noticeably better.

But if the problem is that who has the extra budget these days, I totally get it, I just wanted to assure you that the grapes are not "sour" as in the "sour grapes" fable by aesop.

Lets goooo!!!!

I seriously hope this gets the Caesar 3 treatment where they got Julius and Augustus

The opportunity for ray-tracing like lighting updates and texture and model swap ins would be insane.

I know a lot of people have a lot of feelings about AI too but I can't help but think it would be fascinating to generate some replacements like those lights in the header and so forth -- it could get really interesting really fast.

RIP Halo.

They couldn't even be bothered to use the Halo font from the last quarter century.





It really underscores how little they understand about Halo. It was a good run 117. RIP.

I'm beginning to think all beloved franchise are being destroyed intentionally to justify removing them from the culture pool forever and ostracizing the golden version of each franchise.

For example,: RIP Lord of the Rings -- Amazon & The Rings of Power are doing their best to kill Tolkein's legacy forevermore.

This really is basically a Proton Space-Suit, allowing containerizing the whole Game and Proton to be used elsewhere.

Did I get that right?

I agree with the sentiments above ^^^ I will always love Valve and Steam but we need to be able to play our purchases offline and without Steam. We can still do all our purchasing, friends, community, discussion, achievements and searching on Steam but just have the freedom to be offline.

Another banger by Penguin tanks and madlads, much respect, much props.

I think you guys are on the money.

A future Steam Deck and even Deckard (Standalone VR Index) would logically target ARM, RISC-V or something else as (1) better battery efficiency (2) less heat produced

Who wants to have a GPU strapped to their face outputting 66 C

I use my Steam Deck OLED every day and it's a great product, I don't personally need any better battery life than what I get but I could understand on a backpacking trip or long travel how it would be nice to get a boost.

Here are my notes from watching the video:

[1] automated build service -- currently this is done manually by antiz, ( thank you for your service good sir)

[2] secure signing enclave -- secure signing of packages -- centralized -- (people who use arch occasionally have to reinstall `archlinux-keyring` prior to large multi-month updates) -- this singular signing key would make it unneeded to have all these updated keys to allow software installation.

[3] This is a valve freelance contract, it simply boosts team members to spend more time doing what they are already doing to reach their goals sooner and to create better versions of these build systems that are envisioned.

[4] Speculation, that architectures that may be considered, could include: x86_64v2 x86_64v3 dram risc-v, arm

[5] I was unaware but Proton is alleged as tested on ARM processors already, I would love to see/read more on this.

--

Valve is logically looking to cross the next proton-esk bridge by making sure that game libraries are not limited to x86 or x86_64. (Who knows how long x86 will even be defacto.)

The timing of this is very smart as other countries are pushing competing architectures and there will no doubt be growth in the future that benefits us (the consumer).

--

I was unaware of the claims made above that there are fully open source arm processors? If anyone has any good links please fill the rest of us in who don't get out of anticancer much :P

Quoting: Cato-the-youngerI am not offended. But you dont see me calling America by AmeriKKKa, because its respectful to call countries by their names.

Unless youre a racist of course, arent very smart and fall for propaganda easily 🙂

Please stop race-baiting race-baiter,

Notice how doing so creates the Streisand Effect:

https://wikiless.org/wiki/Streisand_effect?lang=en

Also notice the First Law of Physics. I'll let you look it up.

I am disappointed by the shame you bring to China and the billions of Chinese cosmopolitans part of "the brotherhood of man" and the "one human race" around the world through your poor behavior.

Of course not

I'm sorry, I really don't see what distinction are you trying to make here. I was simply referring to the ruling party in China. You know, the one and only.

Whats the distinction between "America" and "AmeriKKKa"? Its the same here.

Also there are about 25 parties in China

Actually there's a song about that, it's pretty good: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Rr8ljRgcJNM

Notice how I wasn't offended, I suggest others try it sometime.

Quoting: mphuZNot for long. In the next 1-2 years, the Chinese will significantly completely abandon Windows (even pirated versions will be cut) and switch to HarmonyOS.

They write that its microkernel is 3 times more efficient than Linux.

If China claimed that in the next 5 years they will land on the sun would you believe it? Talk is cheap.

Quoting: MayeulCPretty sure it's CCP for Chinese Communist Party in English

Of course not

Notice how he used the words "In English". You can call it whatever you want. In any case it's the same entity it's been for the last century and changing the name is an act of censorship to expunge the events of the last 100 years from history.

But hey, we saw Chinese SARS/Influenza changed to "The Spanish Flu" in the early 1900s and Wuhan Penumonia in the 2020s quietly changed to COVID and we certainly made sure that after Greek Alphabet Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gama variants that we didn't have a Xi (She) variant even though Ebola is named after a river, and Lymes are named after a geographical location as well. I guess naming convention rules don't apply and English can be subjected to walk on eggshells of people who don't even speak it.

If you want to refer to North Korea in English as the proper name "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" -- go ahead.

Cuba refers to itself as a "People's Democracy" https://wikiless.org/wiki/Politics_of_Cuba?lang=en#Legislature

You can call things Democracies and Republics if you want.

Many of us will not participate.
