This is called a “folk etymology”. Great story, but completely false.

“But what we’re not for is putting our finger on the scale.”

The absolute gall.

“It’s heavy because it’s so full of mercy.”

While this would be great, it’s also a little unfortunate, since the general desktop experience on Steam Deck is IIRC currently a bit below other comparable distros, and I’d hate for people to get an incomplete picture of what the Linux desktop experience can be like. Hopefully the time that’s led up to the wider release of SteamOS has been spent on getting that desktop experience up to snuff.

Gamesir seems to be vying for that crown of late - their price to feature ratio is impressive.

Edit: Yes, they’ll face the same tariff pressures - I’m just noting that 8BitDo isn’t the clear market leader the way they were 3-5 years ago.

I love these updates so much! Thanks for all of the time and effort!

That did occur to me, so I only gave them my old number.

Yes, I’m aware of that, but being irrational alone is not sufficient. There are an infinite number of irrational base-10 numbers that only contain combinations of 0 and 1, for example, and none of them will contain my phone number, credit card, etc.

Not all irrational numbers are normal numbers, and only normal numbers are guaranteed to behave as described in the OP.

I thought pi hadn’t been proven to be normal, only conjectured to. My phone number isn’t in the digits of pi that we’ve discovered so far, for example: https://www.angio.net/pi/

The Lemmy devs are outspoken tankies, so I’d understand why people would be reluctant to work directly with them.

That’s fair. More 9070 XTs for me!

I agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.

What’s your point?

“Get VR working and it will be.”

“It is!”

“No, it is for your specific hardware and use case.”

That microsoft didn’t enable the necessary software components to run windows mixed reality HMDs on linux?

No - that’s a given. It’s that nobody has working third party software for my hardware yet, hence the “VR isn’t ready on Linux yet” statement.

The reverbs never natively supported any open standards like SteamVR or OpenXR.

I know.

WMR headsets are the ones that have been the hardest to get going with open VR systems like Monado, but that doesn’t mean that hardware that implemented sane standards isn’t already working great, which it is.

I know.

That said, WMR is partially working at this time.

I know.

Bottom line, if you use something that is actually supposed to work, it does. If you don’t, then yeah, the volunteer-created hacks to get things to work are still in progress.

I know.

My VR hardware is still not working, and Linux is clearly not “VR ready”.

My HP Reverb G2 V2 isn’t.

Lol, not that controversial - Dalton is my favorite Bond after Brosnan, and both of his movies are in my top 5 (actually I think The Living Daylights might be number 6 on my list - can’t remember exactly).

I think Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough are hugely underrated. TND is way ahead of its time and almost prescient on a modern rewatch, and TWINE does a fantastic job with its twist Bond girl villain (even if it was the start of the absolutely horrible trend of forcing M into the middle of every plot going forward). Die Another Day is pretty bad though, which is unfortunate, as it gets off to a great start.

But I agree with you - the Craig films are just not Bond movies, and other than Casino Royale, I basically never rewatch them.

Ehh, Bond hasn’t been worth watching for 20 years now anyway. At least now I have a reason to start completely ignoring the series.

You’re thinking of gobbledygook. She’s the name Frodo went by when he was in Bree.

This is asklemmy, not unpopular opinion.
