Technology@lemmy.world•Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... adsEnglish
9·4 days agoJust get the older APK form one of the mirror sites.
Too bad it’s not available via RSS.
It’s not a podcast then. Podcast is a type of media delivery mechanism, not any recorded conversation.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Are Trader Joe’s tote bags the last vestige of American soft power?English
5·7 days agoAlso Trader Joe’s is a brand of Aldi
Specifically Aldi Nord which is a different company from the Aldi (Süd), the one with that orange-blue logo.

In case anybody’s looking for inspiration:

Games@sh.itjust.works•The new owner of GOG discusses taking on Steam, the devil of DRM, and following in Nightdive's footstepsEnglish
3·10 days agoConveniently forgeting the part where valve creates a gambling system for kids, as usual.
Do you mean loot boxes in Counter-Strike? A) It’s not a game for kids. B) And no, I’m not getting involved with parenting of other people’s children, so I actually do not care.
But I get it, the only things that mathers is you.
I matter to me, yes.

Games@sh.itjust.works•The new owner of GOG discusses taking on Steam, the devil of DRM, and following in Nightdive's footstepsEnglish
2·11 days agoThere has actually been a case going around about Valve forcing price parity despite their official ToS not saying so, with emails from employees to devs as evidence.
They’re doing a shitty job at enforcement if your claim is true.

12·11 days agoI can’t understand the amount of energy people spend defending Valve.
Valve uses my money to make the Linux FOSS stack better for everyone, including me. GOG doesn’t.
Buying on Steam instead of GOG serves my personal interests.

11·11 days agoWhat’s wrong Heroic?
Not officially supported. Using the GUI with a controller is wonky.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work
2·11 days agoYou can install an Arch image as well. Distrobox should work fine with these OCI images: https://github.com/archlinux/archlinux-docker?tab=readme-ov-file#arch-linux-oci-images

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work
7·11 days agoThe only time you might “tinker” with gaming is when you want to install, say, an emulator or Heroic from the Discover
ystore (flatpak) to play your non-Steam games, all of which is optional.Playing games from outside Steam is less tinkering in Bazzite than SteamOS because Bazzite supports those out of the box. I don’t have a Bazzite install in front of me right now but IIRC it comes with Lutris preinstalled. On SteamOS that’s an additional installation step.

1·11 days agotbh i havent bothered to attempt gaming on anything other than the steam deck.
At worst you need to install Steam on other distributions and then compatibility is no different than on SteamOS (on equal hardware, of course) because Steam runs its games inside standardized containers since some time.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work
4·11 days agoSteamOS ships both podman and distrobox.
distrobox create --image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/leap:16.0 --name opensuseto install openSUSE, for example, thendistrobox enter opensuseto use it. If you like rolling releases, install and then executeopensuse-migration-toolto upgrade to Tumbleweed or Slowroll.



















Luckily I bought the prime version in 2018 or so for a few cents. Means I only have to configure Lawnchair when I get a new phone. Win for laziness.
