this is a premium device

Paired with…

Doesn’t support SteamOS

Hmm…

Because buyers of premium devices famously have time to screw around with installers and OSes that aren’t their first choice…

I assume the logic is “every game runs on Windows”, but I feel like they understimated how sticky SteamOS is for folks who have tried it.

I experience so much more playing, and less fucking around, on my SteamDeck, than I did on my Windows gaming PC.

What language is the CLI written in?

Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.

I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.

@retrolemmy username…hm…

I’ll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.

I’ll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.

This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:

If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.

Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.

2. what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?

Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.

What about stocks?

Better sell some.

Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?

Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.

But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.

they say it’s worth it

Narrator: They did not.

YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.

I’ve heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it’s wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.

Nebula is great.

It’s pretty funny to watch a quick “check out our extended content on Nebula” video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)

It makes me feel like a fancy rich person.

Nebula is terrific!

It does take some time to find everything. It’s not (much of) an algorithm, so I just had to explore and start subscribing to things.

What? No! Thus could be anyone’s party for any occasion.

My spouse said it was fine, and not to talk about it anymore.

because you probably don’t know how software is built.

Oh shit. Nevermind then.

What I’m hearing is: I can replace saying “I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads” with "I host a part of the ‘Deep Net’.

Sweet.

I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can’t go under water.

This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.

We’re not demanding submersible cars, we’re just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.

I’m confident that there’s going to be a great deal of broken… everything…built with AI “assistance” during the next decade.

People forgetting that when you ran out of lives you used to have to go back to the start of the whole game.

We remember. It was bullshit back then. It’s still bullshit now.

Edit: I beat those games on three lives. It was still some bullshit.

I can accept stupid decisions. I don’t have to respect them.

you’ll just have to built your own apps too

We are well on our way.

I was confused before I made the switch. So many of the most useful kinds of apps weren’t maintained anymore by anyone on the Google Play store. I had this surreal feeling that the app ecosystem was getting worse every year.

And then I installed F-Droid and figured out where ally favorite app developers went. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

A college class introduced me to “The Birth of a Nation” aka The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan

Did you enjoy it?

Fuck no. It is a deeply messed up racist pile of shit.

It certainly opened my eyes to it’s place in history.

Since the film itself is best left to the trash heap of forgotten awfulness, here’s two points from Wikipedia that feel worth remembering:

• “the most reprehensibly racist film in Hollywood history”
• was the first motion picture to be screened inside the White House (for President Woodrow Wilson)

If I recall correctly, it has been released for moile on and off as experimental builds. Last time I grabbed an APK, it wasn’t ready (as an editor - as a document reader it works fine).
