I love the fact that the Steam Deck has made desktop Linux a viable gaming platform.
I've been running Linux Mint for the last few months to escape the enshittification of Windows and I've had no problems with my Steam library at all.
but Linux has always had the must play game native, xbill

The condition of fabrics from pile dwelling and wetland settlements is amazing. This charred ball of thread was found at the site of Marin-Epagnier/Prรฉfargier. It was made of hemp or lime fibres, and dates about 3900 to 3300 BC. The thread measures a total of about 10 m in length.

New Steam Controller 2 and VR controller designs got leaked
Valve did a bit of a woops here, as they recently accidentally leaked the designs for what looks like their upcoming Steam Controller 2 and a new VR controller that is likely to come with the long leaked Deckard VR headset.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Weโll have to wait for the size and thickness, and the angle of the grips, but this will probably not work for me. Symmetrical sticks placed in the middle of the controller, with touchpads on the way where my fat hands will likely activate them all the timeโฆ
Sounds like a recipe for thumb and wrist pain for me personally :/
On that controller, it seems like the opposite
@BrodieOnLinux Haha yeah, weโll see. Ergonomics isnโt an exact science; and doesnโt always work for everyone: AirPods fall out the ears of a fair few people, the PS4 controller was a nightmare for some, and some think the Xbox one controller isnโt good, the Duke managed to get into production, etc..
It can be an awesome controller for a bunch of people, and a nightmare for others ๐
Thereโs also the issue that my thumbs often bump into one another with symmetrical sticks on a PS controller, because the sticks are too close

Quick read for morning train ride. Poor methods leading to higher false positives, and selecting for number of output leads to poor methods.
Makes sense, but how would this apply to independent/amateur research? IMHO we need good methods beyond tools.

X's legal filing in the InfoWars bankruptcy case is both batshit crazy and also what you'd expect. It asserts that X owns every account, can do whatever it wants with them, and can inject itself into legal proceedings that have nothing to do with it.
This is why it's incredibly important that people invest in platforms that they own, and move toward federated/decentralized/portable, noncorporate social media as rapidly as possible
Measured and well thought out.
