There already are working plugins for that. When I @ a Lemmy community in a WordPress post it gets posted to that community. And comments from Lemmy or Mastodon are also visible on WordPress.

I’d say yes. If the volume becomes overwhelming new communities can easily be created.

Yeah, that remains to be seen. But they already have one mobile product and with the Frame that will soon be one and a half. And they definitely know the shady business practices that dominate mobile gaming, though I hope they manage to get away from that.

We have the semantic web now! Be better!

They are the only monopolist selling completely open devices and heavily investing into open source software. As it stands now the console, VR and phone market is dominated by locked down devices that depend on the benevolence of their manufacturers.

If they made a phone that was as open as the Steam Deck and then went power hungry and wanted to use their position to fuck everyone up you could still put another OS on the phone and use it without a single piece of Valve influence.

I want them to make more hardware because they can not dictate how I use it.

My Steam Deck is not running SteamOS but OpenSUSE. I am mainly playing games from other stores. This would not be possible with an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.

So yes, I can very much live with that kind of monopoly in the hardware space. And when they enshittify like every big corporations does I won’t cry but enjoy my awesome devices that will remain usable forever.

The thing is that it’s not totally baseless. The Steam Frame is already halfway there. Most of its components are repurposed phone parts. They’re only missing a 5g modem. And a “Small Screen” interface for Steam.

Give them five to ten years and they might actually pull it off.

So far their track record is pretty good in that regard.

Not quite. FSF (Free Software Foundation) announced the Librephone project. Its goal is to work towards having phone hardware with open firmware. They are still in the phase of finding out what that entails.

They are not making a phone. It’s more a campaign of nudging other manufacturers in that direction.

The script would place its own version of sudo in your $PATH and wait for you to enter the password. Then it has it and can do what it likes with the information.

Then it’d just tell you “wrong password” and forward you to the real sudo so that you can keep on working like nothing happened.

Edit: Or even better, pass your own commands to take over the whole system to the real sudo.

This is the way.

I mean, so say we all.

Of the Universe!

We’ll see ARM Steam before 64bit Steam.

I think they meant the Steam client.

Plus they already said that they would support game binaries built for ARM. Would be stupid not to.

Is this one of those dogs trained for internet points that pisses itself out of fear of doing something wrong?

Identifying wood.

They said they wanted to sell it at PC prices not console prices. Probably because this thing is literally a PC that can be used without ever downloading a single game. If it were too cheap companies could buy it as cheap office PCs.

I give it five to ten years.

Yeah, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed automatically creates a new snapshot before and after installing or removing any packages. It’s great. I currently have some weird dbus bug. With the snapshots I can easily go back and forth to analyse it.

I just put my configs and compose files on the same raided hdds as my data files. Add automatic snapshots and the problem is solved for me.

I’ve never seen anything beat Gentoo’s interactive diff and merge of config files. That’s the only thing I miss from Gentoo and I have no ideas why other distributions haven’t picked that up. It’s perfect.
