Yeah but with Steam Deck you’re not forced to use it. It’s an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.

No, it’s great. It means you can make it do anything. You misconstrue my meaning.
You don’t even have it game on it if you don’t want to. Use it as a server 😂
Other portable console makers: proprietary shit, locked down OSes, DRM embedded in the device at boot, custom/strange architectural choices, walled gardens
Valve: eh, put a fuckin’ normal ass gaming PC in a tiny box with joysticks and call it a day.
It kinda does matter if you want updated drivers and packages and stuff. I use Debian because I love its bare bones, generic approach and I’m used to it, but I’d never recommend it for anyone playing the latest games unless they like cruising five years in the past.
I’m not sure that word means what you think it means, Elon. Regulating scam sites is a pretty typical government thing.
Exactly, that means it hasn’t infected my entire system and is constantly connected and phoning home about my computer usage and browsing habits all day. I can just play Skifree and Minesweeper and not worry about a damn thing.
It’s hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I’m sure there’s more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.
Windows 3.11 that is. The last pure Windows there was.
I mean it’s also socialist, with how it’s developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It’s one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.
1960s style punch cards. Made of concrete.
Article says they are using a number of AI technologies stitched together with regular programming, so object recognition, language, etc.
As long as the head gasket is still good, oil seals are good, and piston rings are good, everything around them can be replaced at home with a Haynes manual, except maybe the transmission and any welding work on the exhaust.
Just did a timing belt replacement in the driveway on mine, good for another ten years now.
So, is the Internet caring about copyright now? Decades of Napster, Limewire, BitTorrent, Piratebay, bootleg ebooks, movies, music, etc, but we care now because it’s a big corporation doing it?
Just trying to get it straight.
Debian isn’t a meme but it’s a good thing that you now have a lot of work to do.
“We aren’t a monopoly because we don’t just control web search, we also control all this other tech…”
Some people just don’t like their OS being used for that purpose and want it to be just a tool that shuts up and does exactly as it’s told and no more. I can see that point of view. Our computers aren’t free billboards. It’s like when car dealers stick their own custom logo on the cars they sell to people.
I don’t weigh 600 pounds nor do I have a beard so that can only mean one thing…
From one of the comments:
Security settings, for them to have any power at all to block malware, have to be default on and unable to be bypassed by the end user (because the end user will bypass them if they get in the way of whatever task/job they have to do right now).
Emphasis mine.
Are people that cucked now that they’re like “yes, please daddy, lock me out of my own machine”?
If I did that half my neighbors would own my devices in a week because they like transmitting open access points for setup purposes. I just connect them anyway and then just block them from outbound access at the router if I want to restrict them. That way I can be sure. Then I can use my Homeassistant server to control them from behind the firewall locally if they have that capability.
