Hopefully this normalises devs providing old versions of their games as branches.

How long is the video that it doesn’t make sense to just watch it and extract the figures by hand? Ensures that the bullshitting machine doesn’t just make stuff to.

I’d check myself, but https://xkcd.com/1237/ and you haven’t posted a link.

Huh, I assumed that scrollwheel up/down counted as button presses. Guess not.

Just have replaceable Li-ion batteries.

If you’re currently running on LMDE and are enjoying it, why not just switch to the “vanilla” non-debian Mint? It should be similar enough to what you’re used to, but with more up to date software.

As I understand it, Steam has a report feature on their store page for reporting games. Presumably that goes to a person that looks at it.

I think to upload games to Steam you also need to prove your identity. Which means if you do upload malware, then it’s easy to track you down.

Of course, that takes time and things can slip through the cracks. Steam games are still full programs that run on your computer and can do anything a regular program can do, there’s no sandboxing.

Treat them like you would apps on the Google Play store; assume that they’re mostly safe but also give additional scrutiny to ones with low review counts or AI generated images.

… I don’t have any trust that the US government will do anything pro-lgbt, pro-freedom-of-expression or pro-women.

If adult content moves to crypto, won’t that result in Collective Shout and friends targeting the big crypto marketplaces?

… Which will result in prices for games fluctuating wildly, and their entire storefront having to tell people how to by crypto from shady places.

Stuff like FedNOW and Wero are a better solution which bypass payment processors entirely.

Wine/Proton isn’t designed to be a sandbox. A motivated enough attacker could make an exploit that checks if it’s running in wine and do some wine specific stuff.

Even if you do manage to sandbox it from your root filesystem, it still needs access to your Steam account, which an attacker could compromise.

So I got curious about this, and had a look into it.

Firstly, the entire conversation was scrubbed from the chat, and it was done so before the lemmy.ml callout post was discovered/made. So claiming that they’re “okay with it” is a bit of a stretch.

The entire discussion seemed to have spawned from this article: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2025/06/23/h3h3-ethan-klein-sues-three-reaction-streamers/ . I don’t know or care enough to say who is right or wrong, but here you go in case anyone wants to look into it.

Apparently, according to a quick search, Asmongold did make some choice comments about Palestine.

What I assumed happened is that people were talking about the lawsuit and someone offhandedly mentioned Asmongold. Then GlacialTurtle decided to go on a long rant about genocide and then was told to cool it. Because obviously anyone that doesn’t want to talk about genocide in a server about Linux software is in fact tactily supporting genocide, Turtle doubled down and ended up getting banned. Then they went to their next platform to complain about it, Lemmy, and now here we are two degrees removed from the discussion with no actual receipts.

Somewhat fittingly, earlier yesterday, they were talking about the tragic death/murder of Mikayla Raines.

Should I play this even though I’ve not played the first 63 Zeldas?

I’m curious, would running the Flatpak version of Steam “fix” this by providing its own glibc?

You know, for the people that want to stay on an old glibc yet are also comfortable with using Flatpak.

In the Steam settings there’s an option for “Enable Steam Play for incompatible games”, is that turned on? I think it’s a seperate option to just enabling Proton.
