Regarding the distro, definitely not the case. Steam Deck runs on Arch for example. Years ago I played on Fedora just fine.

If you don’t mind elaborating, what are the issues you’re seeing? I absolutely get your frustration, but I think many of us would be happy to help you and hopefully it’s a quick solution!

Do you have Proton installed, and did you tell Steam to run games using it? Go to Steam -> Settings -> Compatibility. Make sure Enable Steam Play is checked for both Supported and “Other” titles, and the drop down has a Proton version in it. I personally use Proton Experimental for everything.

I can’t help but notice that Civ VI, F1 2015 and Broforce which all work for you are all native Linux titles, and all of the ones that don’t work don’t have Linux versions and would therefore need to be run through Proton. ProtonDB lists all of them as Gold tier titles, so they should generally work okay with only minor issues. Steam doesn’t do great messaging and prompt players to do this from what I remember.

As long as it’s not “spammy” and there’s actual engagement or discussion on the posts I don’t see an issue. But if the community being posted to isn’t engaging with the posts, or it’s crowding out the more interesting posts, yeah that’s not great and shouldn’t be allowed.

how’s the current state of controller support? i played a bit during EA but had been planning on waiting til the PS5 release cuz I figure the layout options would be in a better state by then.

Haven’t played it myself, but this article on PCGamer seems to imply that it’s good support since they switched to using controller completely: https://www.pcgamer.com/baldurs-gate-3-controller-playthrough/

It’s even worse apparently. Apparently someone looked at where the coins are going, and the coins are going to the 1337x admins, and the uploader is just getting a cut of those coins. Which explains why the admins are unlikely to really care because they’re profiting off their users.

I have severe trust issues with any kind of pirated software so I basically never download it as a result, and shit like this is why. Even private trackers and “trusted” groups aren’t enough for me to download most software.

Open a crack so the cat doesn’t wake me up at 4am.

Ordered! I love reading his books.

There was this quote they gave when asked about impact to the surrounding ocean.

Natick uses raw sea water for cooling, with the water returned to the ocean a fraction of a degree warmer than ambient. Due to rapid mixing in ocean currents, the temperature impact just a few meters downstream of the datacenter is undetectable. We used cameras on the exterior of the vessel to observe wildlife during deployment. We found that the datacenter provided an attractive location for sea life, and was quickly colonized by multiple species of fish and other sea life.

At a huge scale, that maybe could be an issue if you extrapolate. But as others have pointed out, data centers today already require air and water cooling which isn’t likely as efficient so net gain on the environment is probably worse with land data centers in terms of cooling. And they noted the hardware inside had a higher reliability, potentially due to its pure nitrogen atmosphere in the capsule, so that’s less need for buying replacement servers and performing maintenance.

No clue if this thing is actually feasible beyond small scale due to the very high deploy and retrieval costs. But in my opinion this isn’t like some environmentally oblivious solution.

https://lemmy.fmhy.net is up and running!

A vote was held on Mastodon and the majority elected to start fresh versus waiting longer to work out how to do the migration. A bit of a bummer, but still happy to be back.

In short, the Mali government took back the domain apparently. It’s now running under lemmy.fmhy.net but it started from scratch.

The admins originally tried to set up a script to move all users and posts to the new domain, but it was taking too long and users voted to just start over. Admins have a post saying they will try to move some community / mod posts over, but all users and communities are a clean slate.
