As someone who did swap theor steam deck’s M.2, I really wish it were a 2280 instead since those drives can hold much more. The largest 2230 I could find was only 2 TB.

Would you like an eli5 for some stuff you’ll see in the linux community/forums/etc?

I’d personally be happy to give you a quick rundown of some stuff.

Really? I swore I’ve been told that the regular mint uses snaps since ubuntu loves them. I haven’t used mint since snaps were a thing eitherway.

I’m also going to recommend Linux Mint, its a really friendly beginner distro. I’ll presonally recommend you do Linux Mint Debian instead of normal linux mint since regular linux mint is Ubuntu based and really loves snaps.

The default user env is cinnimon which is going to look a lot like Windows 10 making the transition easier. If you want to install steam its literally a command line away from installing and then its ready to go. That and Steam personally pushing for Linux as a viable gaming platform there are a lot more games now that work out of the box now on steam.

I’ve had calyxOS on this phone now for about 2 uears now. Its pretty good. It comes with microG to simulate the google apis.

Yo, same. The mitten makes it easy.

Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.

I always hate seeing that, then i remember i’ve used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything

This is fairly common for tech jobs, asking for more experience than is phisically possible. Theres a whole sub about shit like this on the old site.

I know you already have your answer but for anyone else: side scrolling anti-capitalist beatem-up

Yeah, even the “playable” tag i have to check what they mean by that. Psychonauts 1 and 2 are “playable” but both need you to manually pull up the keyboard and show xbox controls… Like okay? That’s all? They play perfectly.

I also downloaded an indie game “tonight we riot” and its not even tested. Want to geuss how well it plays? Spoiler, perfectly fine.

I’m genuinely greatful for steam personally pushing for more games to work well in linux even if the game needs a compatibility layer like Wine or proton.

Seriously, I don’t understand tgat person’s point. Before elon the check ment “yes this really is Billy West, voice actor for a lot of things”. It wasn’t a hard concept.

Yeah good plan, I’ll drive or take a plane across the ocean for my next vacation. Not every trip can be taken by land and many that can are extremely long and or slow.

Okay, heres the thing. You’re stuck in a giant tube in the sky for hours. I get people will be bored from lack of anything to do. Hell this post isn’t even about that. Its about how we keep clinging to old standards that made sense at the time that are honestly just kinda dumb now.

Yeah so, we have a way of making chat bots that have safe gaurds to not sell overly discounted tickets or whatever. Its the normal dumb chatbots we’ve used for years. They aren’t smart, they can’t tell you a story, they can’t pull random law out of their ass. No its the ones with a handful of canned responses with a handful of questions it can answer because that’s all it’s programmed to do. Using an LLM for this is not only overkill but fucking stupid. LLM’s are only able to say what they think is the next thing in a conversation. If you ask it for a discount it’ll probably say “sure here’s 15% off” then not actually apply it.

Yeah, its not like we could store that energy in say a battery and then use it another time when demand is higher for actually useful things instead of jerking off techbros/cryptobros.

Dude. It’s 2.3% of a massive industrialized nation where most citizens have access to some luxury goods. A nation with nearly 350 million people being the 3rd most populous country.

It does NOT fucking matter if it’s “”“”““waste””“”“” energy. And no, we don’t fucking make that arguement about things like ac because you know why? Someone is getting comfort out of it instead of burning seals to make a line go up.

I was just listening to the episode of “cool people who did cool stuff” where Margret mentioned that “this is not a pipe” picture.

Though i think the samsungs ex’s arguement is a bit more nihilistic

In the first episode the discription said it was an adaptation of this rolling stone article in case you weren’t aware.

See the calculator some guy made run doom or a barcode scanner at my job.

Android is a fairly good target development platform, it’s still getting updates, apps built for older versions of android still work on newer versions, large active tallent pool both perfessionally and hobbyist, absolute metric fuck ton of tutorials. Yeah, if you’re making a new product it isn’t hard to just make it an android computer and throw am app on there that you make that does the thing.

Yeah, theres shit like the battle of blair mountain that everyone should look into.

Hey, my fellow 'Muricans, we actually took up arms here for our right to have a living wage
