Ah yes, the four horse-controllers of the apocalypse — Xbox, PlayStation, Gamecube, and Mountain Dew

The 'd' stands for drama.

And also dick.

Singular.

After all that, no ^S to save 🥲

Now, can we please fix the bookmarks drop-down next? Every time I try to open a nested folder and it just closes because I was too slow and imprecise in moving my mouse I die a little inside 🥲

🤡

A match made in hell

I didn't expect Rentals to be as infuriating as they are. But I'd take them over an even smaller hand any day...

I want to marry KDE Join the polycule 😘

This thing really does have everything 🥲

Thank you very much for the Linux coverage for it. Does the stylus still work in external display mode? That would be the dream...

With cooldowns for abuse prevention now on the table, I wish Valve will consider adding something like a "day pass" for Steam friends where they can share their libraries—or perhaps specific games—for a short duration to someone they know without having to adopt them.

With cooldowns they would find appropriate, of course. And I hope that isn't a whole year...

PC to phone: works perfectly (regular desktop and Steam Deck used regularly).

Phone to PC: only works by clicking the share clipboard action within the KDE connect app each time. But I recently discovered the quick settings tile and now it's almost as convenient as before if not more secure.

That, or Magisk ofc.

Every single one of my friends are on Linux. Only one of them is in "IT". Most of my family is on Linux, because they didn't want to deal with viruses and ads. (I don't even "IT" for any of them, so I wasn't consulted. At best I introduced them to the fact that Linux is at least as usable as Windows many years ago). A lot of my colleagues are on Linux; now, most of them are devs, but some of them are on macs and until Apples's Proton-clone becomes a viable option running Linux on them is just cleaner.

Obviously, we're less than a rounding error all summed together. Obviously, most of that number is from government issue systems. But it's not as bleak and impersonal as it seems.

But so what?

Why do these numbers matter at all? Is it inherently virtuous for a country to have a high number of willing Linux users? Or is it because at least these machines waste fewer resources, run cooler, and more secure? Then does it matter who and why installed Linux on them?

If their users are fine with using a browser for all their work, and the offices can buy these PCs for cheaper than Chromebooks after our infamous taxes, not to mention avoid being ewaste for much longer, this is a win-win situation whichever way we look at it.

P.S. that I also own a Steam Deck (and use as my only PC) probably doesn't help my everyman-credibility much 😅

In my defence, I could afford/justify it only because a good friend volunteered to buy it for me and bring it over. I wish things were different. But I'm happy I have one, at least.
