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.

Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.

The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ and use the official .deb

We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.

If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.

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.

#dota2 #linux is now shipping on the 'sniper' runtime. Big changes behind the scenes ..

It's the first #Valve game to upgrade, with newer compiler and runtime libraries for improved performance and compatibility.

CS2 Linux is .. OUT!

Like Dota 2 a few months back, this release is using the 'sniper' linux runtime.

I pushed what I have for Quake 2 remastered support in GtkRadiant and wrote a short blurb about it: https://ttimo.typepad.com/blog/2023/08/quake-2-remastered-support-in-gtkradiant.html

Default OOM killer behavior on Linux: I start a build, and it kills slack and discord. Technically correct.

It's been 0 days since I last compiled on one branch while testing on the other.

#flatpak end user experience is pretty solid overall, but the experience as a dev wanting to bring an app to it is rather bare.

Very minimalistic documentation, poor support for dev and debug workflows.

If the goal is to get more folks contributing packages, it would need a solution that compares favorably with toolbox/distrobox.

It never will cease to amaze that there’s a maker of smartphones emphasizing privacy and pushing end-to-end encryption and features like device lockdown, running on an open source OS…

…and open source tech people keep dunking on Apple and dissing it and then turn around and praise Google, the shadiest advertising company in the world that would sell their grandmother for a quick profit (they probably do).

#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. 😈

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.
