I'm serious when I say that I am among David O'Doherty's first fans. Many years ago he came out to Australia to perform in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He was evidently struggling to bring in audiences and get laughs. A friend of mine working at the festival gave me a couple of complimentary tickets. At that point I didn't realise that she was using me, because I'm a big laugher and good for warming up an audience. I didn't know I had a super-power! (an incredibly minor one, but it gets me free tickets!) Anyway, this bit is for all us techies!

"Under the Calculative Gaze" by Sanela Jahić explores the socio-political implications of AI, not only directly interwoven with unresolved injustices of the prevailing socio-economic system, but actually enables a transition to authoritarianism, which can be observed in the technology industry itself, in the politics of different countries and institutions and in the rise of right-wing extremist political movements.

Hello Nextcloud Team, thanks for the amazing work !

I'm sorry but what we need is not AI. We don't need an AI assistant to sort out our mess. We need well-coded solutions that don't allow mess to appear in the first place.

We need a decent maps app that can sync favorites with a smartphone app, and make trip building as easy as in Rome2Rio, with a focus on public transportation and bike.

This should be top priority.

Steam / Steam Deck stable client update released fixing lots of bugs, including a CSS change to "reduce package size and reduce feature leaks" 🤨 🤨 gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/stea…

#Steam #SteamDeck

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Gotta wonder how big the CSS class names were if they had a material impact on the package size. Maybe autogenerated names like class="big_hero_unit_for_game_id_858588333_aka_half_life_3_oops_we_cannot_put_this_here"
in reply to Brick Duck

@woltiv heh, probably a mixture of all sorts of things, renaming, minifying properly and so on

whaaa still no 8 direction mapping option for old dos games that use the numpad

Maybe next time.




Spoiler alert: My book #GovernableSpaces ends with this image by Darija Medić, borrowing from the wonderful native-land.ca—a reminder from Indigenous legacies that sovereignty need not depend on monopolies over land and militarized borders.

Start reading at the end, if you do that: luminosoa.org/site/books/10.15…



PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (`~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf` where <steamid> is your id).

See github.com/ValveSoftware/steam… for details.

it looks really interesting and I may check it out. Puzzle games have never been my strong-suit, and can lead to frustration if they're too difficult or obtuse for me, but I still enjoy playing some of them.

For a publisher struggling to release good games and hoping to finally find success in Japan, shutting down Tango (who just had a big hit) seems like an especially dumb move.

I had no clue this was a distro specific issue! Ever since switching to Linux I had to retire my VR headset since I couldn’t get it to work.

Seeing that Valve is working on this makes me hopeful to try it out again soon!

> What does Playtron have to do with Crypto?

FFFFuuuuu.... I hope the answer would be less than nothing.

> Is PlaytronOS open source?
> At first, only the operating system code will be open source. We have plans to open source more...

Yeah, I really hope they mean that seriously. I want gaming to happen on Linux, but I'd really like everything that does not strictly have to be proprietary for business sustainability to be Open Source, and preferrably Free as in Freedom.
