American culture warriors have decided that their ideology is more important - you see this a lot where their ideology’s goal becomes the “greater cause” worth sacrificing the mission: e.g. in journalism.

To bully those who don’t share their American liberal politics.

The SPI is awesome, I wish it were easier to donate internationally too.

This is crazy guilt by association.

It’ll be fine, I’d argue Arch is actually more “stable” in the ordinary sense since it is simpler - in that partial upgrades are not allowed. So you never end up in a complicated mess like aptitude can be.

I’ve used Arch for over a decade now, and have only had issues 3 or 4 times (usually from the nvidia driver).

This stops them releasing a more powerful home version though. As SteamOS/Linux will not be able to support modern HDMI2.1 features.

But I don’t think that can manage 4k 60Hz HDR + Dolby Atmos, etc. that modern games consoles have?

The DRM is so stupid - now in the era of streaming you can get literally anything webripped day1.

DRM is obsolete (and it never really wasn’t tbh).

Tell Samsung that for my TV…

This destroys any chance of Valve making an Xbox-competitive home console with SteamOS :(

Check out the Nand2Tetris course on Coursera for building your own Java too.

With that budget I find it hard to imagine you could beat the Raspberry Pi, but please post what you do find!

Splitters!

Pacman (and paru and the AUR) and chezmoi works fine, I don’t see any reason to switch.

The regulators are on their side… government is not your friend.

Reminds me of Microsoft with the ActivePlatform / Blackbird stuff in the 90s.

Awful to see Google turn into that.

Any of them I think.

One of my friends had the newer one and Calibre still worked fine.

I’ve had the 2 earlier models (original and paperwhite) and both worked fine.

Just make sure to download epub or mobi files as they’ll have decent formatting compared to PDF, txt, etc.

With the epub support on the new model you can even email epubs to it IIRC, but I never tried it, Calibre is the best.

The Asus Vivobook is a good deal.

But as an American you might be able to afford the Framework.

They weren’t distributed directly by Valve though, there wasn’t a standard hardware configuration, and SteamOS 3 and Proton didn’t exist then.

I think with the strength of the Steam Deck now it’d really help to solidify the Valve ecosystem. Why buy a PlayStation and re-buy your games when you can just use Steam?

EDIT: That reminds me I really want a Steam Controller 2.0 too!

I hope Valve release a home console with SteamOS like this.
