PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf where <steamid> is your id).

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10846 for details.

Shutting down (rebooting) my Linux box and I see it wait for more than two minutes on an "OOM Killer stop job" ..

Not being able to run your CI locally seems like a bit of a pain in the ass. I always end up with these N commit chains to fix simple problems in github actions because I can't just launch it locally and fix things the easy way.

#Ingress is currently ‘celebrating Earth Day’ by giving double XM for recycling items in the games. This means that recycling power cubes is twice as effective than just using them, which is a strangely mixed message.

It’s just a bit of fun, but if they wanted to make a difference, they should make playing Ingress by car more difficult: reduce the speed at which the game locks down from 40mph to 20mph, for instance. 😈

really upsetting to see former Wikimedia Foundation director and CEO Katherine Maher getting targeted by the rightwing outrage machine in her new role as NPR CEO. she's wonderful, and NPR is lucky to have her. i hope they stand behind her.

“How can you listen to a kid who wants to change sex? My kid wants to be a dinosaur!”

Because unlike wanting to be a dinosaur, there's decades of science showing kids with persistent gender dysphoria:

1. Rarely grow out of it
2. Continue to suffer if not treated
3. Suffer lifelong pain if they go through the wrong puberty
4. Are at significant risk of suicide/self-harm if untreated
5. Thrive as well as cis kids if they are supported by family/friends and given gender-affirming care

Random realization while hacking on dhewm3 (Doom3 source port), which so far sticks to C++98: When the Doom3 source was released in 2011, the C++98 standard was about as old as the C++11 standard is now.

So say - if I was going to try and de-google my email hosting (custom domain), what would you recommend I look at?

I see some people mention "it passed QA checks" in reference to the xv backdoor .. You have no idea how the sausage is made, do you?

Even if someone casually looked at the particular commit (I doubt anyone did), that one line edit in the build script looks just like any od the other autotools garbage.

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.

If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

One thing that is annoying about dev tools like Tiled or Aseprite is that they don't warning you if you open a read-only file. Version control uses this flag to say the file is locked. You accidentally open a locked file and make a bunch of changes, get a save warning, then unlock the file and it pulls down new changes and you overwrite them.
