Anyone who is reading this plays #Linux games on their TV in the living room? What's your setup? Do you just have #SteamDeck hooked-up with a dock or do you use Steam Link software on your TV to stream #VideoGames from your gaming PC or do you have a "Steam Machine" type of a dedicated device just for TV #gaming? I wish to hear about it.

@darth I build a Steam Machine and did my own install of SteamOS 1 and 2. I used that set up for a couple of years before getting back into consoles. These days it's just a Steam Deck hooked up through the official Dock.

@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@darth I don't think Valve has an official installation image for SteamOS 3 because it was designed specifically with the Deck's hardware in mind... That being said, there is "ChimeraOS" which is an Arch-based distro with the Gnome desktop which aims to be feature compatible with SteamOS 3, might be worth looking into.

@darth If you have a Deck, I'd say a dock is worth it. Mine sits right next to my Switch.

Google's doing it to themselves. I predict that eventually (or even fairly soon) YouTube searches will be full of only AI-generated news and other things and will be completely unusable. Just tried looking up something and got only weird videos with AI characters badly speaking news. This is gonna be a mess

@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@jake4480
YouTube has been full of AI videos for a while. I had a friend recommend an anime recap video to me. It was immediately obvious, and I couldn't listen for more than a minute or two, but my friend was completely content to sit and listen to that garbage for an hour or more. Anecdotally speaking, unfortunately, I don't think the general public cares. It's also super prevalent on TikTok. My wife is fine with it too. Doesn't seem to bother her like it does me.

@jake4480 Unusable for us! 🤣 . I can't do it either, the cadence and delivery combined with what sounds like intentional ignorance (when the script is clearly meant to be read and not spoken verbatim) causes me to be irrationally angry. I'm still polite to Chat and CoPilot just in case they decide to go full Skynet, but I'm not happy about it.

@repeatro The first time I learned about this was playing arcade roms of Turtles in Time back in the late 90s or early aughts. Originally I thought it was a hacked version of the game with tweaks or something, found out later that it was just the PAL version.

@cassidy@blaede.family avatar

TIL Fedora is packaging a web browser app I developed for elementary OS, stopped updating over three years ago, and marked as end-of-life two years ago—yet it happily shows up in Fedora 40 if you search my name. It crashes on launch, so it doesn’t even work…

WHY??

Edit: I guess the package is being EOL'd in Fedora due to it no longer building and this thread, huzzah! My recommendation to distros: don’t package random apps and then not maintain them/communicate with upstream.

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@cassidy Maybe someone likes the program and wants to use it? Or, thinks they might be able to.

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@cassidy Nothing wrong with that. That's the nature of open source. As long as everyone is aware that it's not a maintained piece of software, all's fair in love and code.

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@BrodieOnLinux @cassidy Disclaimers don't have to be SCARY, they can simply state when the source code was last updated, and that the older a piece of software is, the less likely it is to work as intended, or at all.

My boyfriend got a very expensive education and knows multiple people who were “inconvenient” enough for their families that they were INSTITUTIONALIZED AGAINST THEIR WILL. Is this a thing rich people are still doing? And there’s no recourse? He basically shrugged like this is normal. Is this normal??

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@ryanhoulihan I guess it depends on what the institution was. Are we talking like "rehab" or a religious retreat or something??

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@ryanhoulihan That's interesting. Does your boyfriend know the names of any of these places? Might be worth reading into. I'm sure there is information online about these places.

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@ryanhoulihan 🤣 if they're expensive, there's probably a fancy website somewhere, a mission statement or an about us page or something.

kotnik, to retrogaming

Continuing #retrogaming universe I finished #Metroid Fusion last night on GameBoy Advance!

It's not an easy nor simple game, there are many bosses and beating the final SA-X was one of the hardest things I did.

The main adversary is called X, and I couldn't keep out Twitter reference out of my head - weirdly it fitted just fine.

Anyways, onto new adventures!

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@kotnik I had no idea you could finish the game in less than ten hours. I've never beaten it. Thinking back, I probably just never put enough time into it. I was probably turned off by the difficulty.

Do you listen to music while you work?

If I'm just doing research or compiling docs for a file I'll listen to podcasts. If I'm writing or doing something that requires a little more of my attention, I'll listen to music.

@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

So, @darth got me thinking... I have an old Phenom II X4 965 Black lying around. And I do have an old AM3 socket mobo, I also have an old case that is missing some screws. I might dig through my junk pile and build something. Use what I already have and only buy the parts I absolutely need.

I'm imagining maybe a #Slackware #linux server that is basically a hypervisor using #KVM and #Qemu that will run #BSD, #Arch, #RockyLinux, etc. basically all the POISX OSs I want to play around with.

berkough,
@berkough@mastodon.social avatar

@darth Yeah I think so. 8GBs. They'll all be single core headless instances. I'm not going to be using Remmina to remote into a GUI or anything like that.

    Debian is my daily driver as well. Still running Bullseye, was thinking about finally upgrading to Bookworm this weekend. It works fine for gaming for me. Though most of the games I play are all on Steam which makes it easier.

    @toddalstrom If both companies are serious about building the next version of the web, I think they do... I'm not sure to what extent traditional business politics plays a role though. For it to work properly would probably require some contracts and basic understandings between the two companies first, even if they are both contributing to the same codebase. As far as I'm aware, atproto is heavily documented, but it isn't open source.

    berkough,
    @berkough@mastodon.social avatar

    @toddalstrom What would be the incentive to adopt atproto if you're not actively contributing to it and shaping the future of the protocol, though? At least with Activity Pub Meta can push stuff upstream and influence how other people are using it as well.

    Looks like if you go with an ASRock board, that is a possibility. I don't know how many watts the 7000 series chips draw though.
