Best estimate that I’ve been about to find on Steam Deck sales is somewhere between 4-6 million, which considering everything is astounding. I’m on my second Deck (upgraded to OLED).

I actually decided to sit out the Switch 2 launch because I’m so satisfied with the Deck (and a lack of groundbreaking Nintendo games at launch).

I have friends everywhere

There’s about to be a pipe wrench fight

In the books at least, I believe he resisted the temptation of the Ring better

Dead processes make no log entries

I totally haven’t renewed them year after year without any movement on that project

Thank you. It’s been three months, and although it hasn’t gotten much easier yet, I’ve been thinking about adopting another rescue. My last dog saved my life in multiple ways.

I’m sorry, friend. I lost my beloved dog on New Year’s unexpectedly. It’s the worst.

I have an NES that just needs a simple fix. I keep saying that I’m going to get to it too.

I damaged the laser on a PS2 by using a DVD-RW. They’re harder to read than a normal disc apparently, so it wore the laser down pretty quick

Wow that’s crazy. One sick day should not require a doctor’s note. I question the legality of that requirement.

I think a large portion of it comes from an intolerance for troubleshooting issues with their hardware drivers. Nvidia has definitely been a huge part of this over the years with their limited Linux support, but other hardware manufacturers are also sometimes hostile towards anything but Windows support.

I think there is a vocal population of Nvidia GPU users who see their very expensive graphics card working well under Windows but having some crippling problems with whatever drivers are available on Linux, so they blame Linux. They don’t take the time to understand the complexity of the situation, and I’m not sure that it matters that they do at the end of the day.

People should just use what works for them. Nobody should try to be a purist about tools or entertainment. I’ve been a professional system admin for both Linux and Windows, and while I have an unshakable preference for Linux and open source software in general, I will use whatever tool I need to use. Fusion 360 is a piece of software that has been great for my CAD needs, but I’ve had trouble making it work reliably through WINE, so I just boot to a Windows installation on a SFF PC I keep around specifically for 3D printing stuff. No big deal.

I’ve seen the same thing. I remember thinking to myself a couple of times, “This isn’t the dunk you think it is.”

There’s clearly a fundamental misunderstanding there about how Linux development happens when the majority of the terrible memes treat the thousands of open source projects that go into the myriad of different distributions as a single monolithic effort run by some central authority. Or that there’s some coordinated effort to obscure the truth about switching from Windows because evangelizing the gospel of Linux is more important than everything else. And that’s beside the fact that so many of the memes aren’t even grounded in fact or are just badly outdated.

I’ve never bothered to interact with anyone there, and everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I legitimately think that there are issues at play here that go beyond mere preferences in operating systems. I won’t antagonize the situation because of that.

Yeah, I’m Linux-only and have been for the last 17 years, but we are not a significant percentage of the gaming market. Still less than 3% last time I checked.

Otherwise, yeah fuck kernel anticheats that don’t even stop cheating.

You are someone I most often agree with on Lemmy, but you are simply mistaken here. Plug-ins get restored if you login to a Firefox account, so perhaps that’s why you think that it’s default for UBO to be installed, but it simply isn’t.

The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station.

Quick to anger, quick to Ho Ho Ho-ing
