That’s modern CEOs in a nutshell. Damage the company long term to get those good short term returns for shareholders.

They have a survey right now asking people if they would be willing to alpha test and what they would be willing to pay, and there are only one-time payments on the survey. They’re somewhat high payments though, $30-60.

The dev is looking at a one time payment afaik.

The old Decky extension for Junk Store required a one time payment of $6 for GoG early access, and anytime the extension would come up a lot of people would complain about that.

There’s a lot of pushback against junk store for switching to a paid model, but I’m fine with it. Obviously FOSS is great, but we don’t have any issues with games requiring payment and being closed source.

Heroic and the original Junk Store plugin will still exist, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the stand alone version of junk store is like. The plugin is already a big step towards having epic/gog games feel like they’re natively supported on the deck, and I’m hoping the standalone version can take that even farther.

because it was more popular

Meanwhile the Deck is outselling all other handheld PCs combined

I’ve heard the opposite, people having lots of issues with official dock while 3rd party docks will work fine.

I’ve got a $20 3rd party dock, and it’s been doing fantastic for me.

Definitely agree. Most printers are sold at a loss with the plan to milk the buyer long term through ink and other services. EcoTank printers are more expensive, but Epson makes their money at the time of purchase. The ink is extremely cheap, and there’s no way for them to tell if you use 3rd party ink at all. We’ve been printing out textbooks with ours, which would be financially disastrous with a traditional inkjet printer.

Overall I’ve bought two, one for home and one for the office at work. The cheaper ink has paid for the printers several times over now.

It still might be worth trying another DE/WM for a bit to see if the issue is KDE exclusive. It might help you narrow down the cause.

Probably not it, but what DE/WM are you using? I had a very similar issue on KDE, but it would go away if I switched DEs.

You won’t see much about protests until we’re closer to the next election.

Honestly, the best part of the OLED model is that it gets at least 2.5 hours of battery life on the more demanding games. The LCD Deck’s 1.5 hours minimum just isn’t enough time in my opinion.

I know SDHQ has a pretty large recommended sale list.

It’s not focused on indie games, but it does include a decent number of them thanks to how many games it includes.

It works on Linux which already a step in the right direction imo

Fantastic game, glad it’s finally getting updated and getting the cliffhanger ending resolved.

That said, the original XBX still looks extremely good (at least when emulated at modern resolutions). For an HD remaster I haven’t actually noticed any real visual improvements other than the character models being better.

Let me put on my tin foil hat:

Microsoft copilot was tell people how to use powershell scripts to activate windows and office, and now they’ve “accidentally” removed it. This conspiracy is big boys, I bet it goes all the way to the top.

If you agree that morals are relative and culturally constructed, then you shouldn’t reject differences in morals of others as immoral.

That’s basically just taking a position where you want to be able to change your mind on what’s “moral”, and expect everyone else to follow your opinion on it.

I wasn’t sure from the title if it was “Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than [the US adults] are.” or “Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than [the LLMs actually] are.” It’s the former, although you could probably argue the latter is true too.

Either way, I’m not surprised that people rate LLMs intelligence highly. They obviously have limited scope in what they can do, and hallucinating false info is a serious issue, but you can ask them a lot of questions that your typical person couldn’t answer and get a decent answer. I feel like they’re generally good at meeting what people’s expectations are of a “smart person”, even if they have major shortcomings in other areas.

Check the discover store on the deck, there’s a program called “clicker” and another called “xclicker”, either one sounds like it should do what you’re wanting.

Huh yeah that’s weird, I didn’t know that either.

In addition to fixing Firefox, you may need to change the URL to tv.youtube.com

I don’t have YouTube TV anymore, but YouTube.com/tv now redirects me to standard YouTube, while tv.youtube.com takes me to the TV web app.
