This is so true. The state of gaming on the Steam Deck is great right now. Even the foreboding unsupported status is only ever really a problem with asinine anti-cheat, and that’s just like a handful of games that aren’t worth playing in the first place.

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

I know a bunch of people that own Steam Decks, know nothing about Linux, and have no idea that their games are running on it. I’d say it’s pretty easy now

“Karen compiler” is almost perfect, except unlike Karens, the compiler is delightfully helpful with the error messages it gives you (usually). It usually gives a straightforward error, an error code, and sometimes, an easy fix.

As someone that started with Rust, but just yesterday had to fix some C++ code, working with any other compiled language makes me shudder. I have nothing but respect for devs that have to wade through stuff like that.

Ah… yep. Turning off autoplay allows me to open the post on 0.2.1. If there’s a publicly-available CI download link that has the nightly builds, I’d be happy to test it with autoplay enabled with the nightly.

Either way, thanks so much for Eternity :D

This is the only post I’ve encountered that causes crashing for me, but perhaps it’s just the first. I haven’t had an issue with anything else so far.

Thanks. I haven’t had issues loading posts that use videos hosted at that domain before, no.

Weird. I am also on 0.2.1, but it consistently crashes for me.

Just don’t ls /dev/loop* 🫣

I just pre-ordered five of these. lol. Thanks for the rec. Wendell from Level1Techs always has his eye on the coolest stuff.

I’d love some suggestions. I have a 1440p 32:9 monitor that can act as separate displays, but since Synergy, input-leap, and the other software KVMs don’t work on Wayland, I’m having a bad time :(

It’s missing trackpads, which is a pretty big oversight for a device like that.

Okay, you gotta share the image files and how you applied the custom logo to your coreboot config.

I agree with your sentiment. Just one small thing: .c files are usually C source code, and are meant to be compiled into binaries.

It doesn’t change OP’s situation at all though.

Okay, so it’s just like Yubikey-type stuff? I’ve thought about that before but it seems very risky - they recommend you get two and set both of them up so you have a backup, but that would require all websites to support that, right?

Pretty much. I suppose that’s a very real disadvantage to using physical passkeys. If you lose it, unless you have multiple passkeys configured, or have access to an account recovery method, you lose that account.

But, like you mentioned, using Bitwarden would sidestep that issue, and they do support passkey emulation.

I’m not an expert, so this is an oversimplification, but:

Passkeys are essentially like authenticating the same way you do via SSH, but with websites. The site will use a public key for your account. Your passkey holds the private key. That’s it, as I understand it.

The advantages are that your accounts secured by passkeys will be inherently more difficult to crack than even the most complex, random passwords and it can’t be phished (if you’re using a physical passkey).

The disadvantage is that the standard is still being worked on, and bad actors (MS, Apple, Google, etc.) are eager and willing to sucker people in to using their vendor lock-in software implementations of them. If you want to avoid this, either use real, physical FIDO-capable hardware authentication keys, or use a FOSS password manager that is capable of emulating them.

This isn’t inherent to passkeys or the standard that they use. This has to do with the configuration of the service being attacked and the fact that once you’ve achieved MiTM, the sky is the limit for what you can do.

Passkeys use the same underlying protocol as hardware authentication keys (FIDO, not the YubiKey auth protocol) and should be roughly as secure and vulnerable as that type of MFA method.

It’s almost everything. You can play most games on Linux. You can’t bolt-on the quality of life features that Valve has on Windows.

There’s a reason most Steam Deck users don’t install Windows on it, even though you can.

Good. You don’t get to invade another country and expect that they won’t hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don’t belong in.
