There’s a project that persists non-flatpack software, though it might screw up if it changes something that Valve updates: https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs

A more reliable method would be installing them in distrobox. It’s kinda like a VM, but it uses the same kernel so it’s not much slower.

Server-side anti-cheat is the best solution, and doesn’t require any malware on the user’s machine. It’s harder though, and might need beefier servers, so…

Steam Deck is held back by the perception of mobile gaming. Many don’t know how powerful it is, so it competes with the Switch more than PS5.

When I first got into linux, I was having trouble with sound issues, and my track pad had pointer acceleration and was always the wrong speed.

Wayland apparently had a fix for the trackpad settings not taking, so I switched to logging in with Wayland before it was the distro default, and almost all of my problems disappeared instantly. The only real issue I had then was screen sharing, which is fixed now.

X11 has only given me problems. I’m sure it was great at one point, but it certainly did not back me up.

Does Vibrant Visuals not use Ray Tracing, or do you mean the RTX mode specifically? If you need specifically the windows 10 version, you could try WinApps or WinBoat, but I’d be surprised if you don’t take a significant performance hit. If graphics in a voxel game are what’s holding you back, I guess the meme is relevant.

You can play the android version in desktop mode with the Unofficial *nix Launcher.

A lot of people are afraid of non-standard letters.

It’s not that the program you’re running is malicious, but that it has an exploitable flaw. Because it’s a GUI app, a lot of things can touch it, which might be something malicious or something with another exploitable flaw.

Martial - Having to do with a military. Marital - Having to do with a marriage.

Strangely enough, Bedrock is har to use on Linux. Java is so much better though.

Well there you go, you got it.

This was more like leaving all your valuables in a cardboard box on your front lawn. Anyone can just take it, if they care to look inside the complete unsecured box.

Someone just drove up and tossed the box in their truck. No lock involved.

Interesting that the dagger shares it origin with the division symbol (÷).

The topic is sharing culture, where lots of very patriotic US things have their origins in other cultures. How so much of the US identity is a mish mash of other cultures. The US is even known as a cultural melting pot!

The hypocrisy is being ok with other cultures if you’re familiar with them, but hating ‘new’ culture. The comic is criticizing xenophobia by pointing out the (somewhat) xenophilic history of US culture.

The fact that One Trillion is as easy to say as One Million is a travesty. It’s great for coming to terms with astronomic scales, but it really hampers the average person in understanding just how much wealth a single plane of people hold.

This is my favorite attempt to show just how much wealth they’re actually talking about. It’s a bit biased towards phones, and it dates itself a bit, but it certainly makes an impression.

Also from Yeshua we get Josh. And Christ is a title meaning Christened or Anointed (often with oil). Thus Oily Josh, my favorite light-hearted nickname for that brown guy.

It also argues that municipalities create far too much parking space, reducing the amount of useable area in cities. This is one big reason why most US and Canadian city centers are dying, as more downtown plots are dedicated to parking, and new plots need a crazy amount parking.

New constructions all have huge parking lots like big box stores and fast food islands, surrounded by a sea of pavement. The lower density reduces propery taxes (as they’re usually calculated by the number of properties, not the used land area), and increases the need for a vehicle to reach locations.

Free parking in general may help to keep things accessible to everyone (with a car), but the amount of parking is choking everyone out and increasing reliance on car manufacturers and roadwork companies.

I quite like this one.

Moonbase Alpha has DECTalk as text to speech, and so in-game chat is spoken out by DECTalk. Anything stupid is immediately 10x funnier when a robot says it earnestly, especially when that robot has to interpret it.

It’s 14 years old now, dang

AEIOU repeating is the famous example, and spawned Moonbase Alpha covers of songs and similar text to speech implementations (like in R.E.P.O.).

It doesn’t pay taxes.
