There really should be another level to it:

Tinker: runs fine with some in-game config or with Steam OS tools like Steam Input

It would exclude any lower level tweaks like changing launch args or using a special Proton version, those can stay unsupported. Basically, if you can get it working well intuitively without looking stuff up online, it should have some level of support.

I’ve played several “unsupported” games that work fine, so something should be done here.

Switch between left and right and you’ve got a party!

What, and add to the climate crisis with more single use plastics?

Well, some of the outfits are pretty close already, and they definitely have some jiggle, haven’t yet played it so I can’t say whether it’s realistic.

Learn to use a mouse left handed, it’s worth it. ;)

There are some 7-8" tablets that could probably fit in a pocket, but finding the perfect mix of Linux compatibility and cell chip is going to be difficult.

However, I see a few Linux tablets out there that have to be all runs, because Linux tablets are a pretty small niche, so it might not be that expensive to build one yourself.

Domain registration and renewal is at cost, and DNS is free. I’m not sure what’s detrimental to the internet about that…

My paid hosting is elsewhere, so they’re not making any money off me.

I use it for DNS and domain hosting, but that’s it, none of their proxying stuff.

Sounds like a tablet, and that very well could be easier for someone to build than a phone.

Force them to jump in the tutorial, and solve the main boss thing through normal storytelling, whichever way makes sense for your game. If the only time you need to know something is late game and there’s nothing to remind you mid-game, that’s poor design.

Why eSim? Does your carrier not support physical sim?

Yeah, I’d totally buy a phone running one of those provided it does all the phone things properly: SMS/MMS, reliable calls, all day battery, etc. I don’t need fancy apps, I just need a working phone.

If I can get that, I could probably donate some time porting apps.

If you’re comparing them, as in you don’t have a strong preference for one vs the other, the Steam Deck wins hands down. You get access to a much larger library of games, repairability is awesome, and you can use it like a PC, because it is one.

The only reasonable reasons to get a Switch 2 are:

• play first party titles - even when emulators come out, the performance probably won’t be there on the Steam Deck
• it’s for someone who wants a very simple experience, and they’re willing to pay more
• the Steam Deck is too big for you - if you have smaller hands, it could be uncomfortable

But I don’t think most people will really be deciding between the two, they target very different markets.

I’ll probably end up getting the Switch 2, and I have a n OG Switch and a Steam Deck.

some article summaries can be quite dense

Well yeah, that’s the point of a summary. If I want something in long form, I’ll read the article.

Yeah, it’s frustrating. We need to end Qualified Immunity pronto.

This already largely works, at least on Android. I use RethinkDNS, which allows me to filter stuff already, and comes included with a host of DNS filters out of the box.

I don’t need MS, Google, or Apple to do it, just make it possible to install a third-party app that does it. That way I get to decide which tool I think works best instead of whatever the OEM decides.

Yeah, who knows. But it’s the first step toward a larger exploit.

Huh, I forgot cake days were a thing. Thanks!

As a parent, I’m with you.

If you want it, that should be your right, but the government shouldn’t be forcing it on you.

Huh, according to the logs, the population of Belgium increased by ~10x, and most people seem to be moving to this area with loss lots of data centers. Checks out.
