Shortly after 9/11 I was flying to Munich for a small con. Of course I had my lightsaber in my carry-on. My homemade lightsaber. My homemade lightsaber that looked more like a pipe bomb than a lightsaber. It took some convincing to let me take it aboard. The flight back was harder.

Hmm, but the velvet pouch is overloaded as it is.

NTFS can’t handle Linux file permissions. It is not suited as a system drive.

And supposedly it can give you problems if you use it to store your Steam games. I never cared to test that, though.

Just go with whatever is the default of your distribution.

That said I’ve come to love the automatic snapshots OpenSUSE gives me with BTRFS. I think they use snapper to automate that. It does a snapshot before and after every packet install, update or removal. And it has some system to delete snapshots that aren’t needed anymore but it always keeps enough to give you peace of mind, especially when you’re experimenting.

I should look into keeping some snapshots of my ~ as well. And I should implement that especially for my family.

The popular opinion is that it was easier for them to get up-to-date packages that way.

My opinion: It’s just what the people working on the Deck were using at the time themselves.

Other reason might be that they had SteamOS 2 based on Debian and probably had some problems with it that they could solve on Arch more easily.

Wasn’t Volvo the company where some exec got run over when they wanted to demonstrate the automatic emergency stop feature? And all this after they gifted seatbelts to the world.

I think it's interesting seeing people in the restroom. Like if it's just some number 1, conversation time. But if it's number 2, no eye contact, no words to be had. Like you're ashamed of your own poo baby. Be proud of that loaf bro... You made that with your own body.

Dude, leave me alone when I’m peeing.

Strange, I can see some downvotes. That’s usually not the case with other instances that have downvotes disabled.

Trouble is that I’m the only user on my instance. And I don’t remember downvoting it 15 times.

You could append the chmod command with && but that’s probably not what you wanted.

Die werden aber auch immer besser. Wir probieren uns da nach und nach durch und sind inzwischen begeistert.

Wollte mich letztens bei der lieben Köchin beschweren, dass bei meinen Köfte mit Reis keine Gemüsebeilage war. Bis mir einfiel, dass das Fleisch schon das Gemüse war.

At this point F-Droid works better than the Play Store in that regard.

why cant we connect 2 computers using USB

So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it...

bjoern_tantau,

You actually can connect a Steam Deck to another PC. Look for the DeckMTP plugin on Decky Loader.

MTP is the thing Android uses when you connect your phone to a PC. It should be possible to install on any PC. Don’t know about Windows but there’s probably a solution for that as well.

Don’t know what happens when both devices have it. I’d suspect that they would both be able to access each other’s drive.

Yeah, that’s why I don’t have it installed. Sftp is more than enough. But that’s not what OP was asking.

Restarting Firefox usually fixes everything for me.

Because that only works in Dutch and is just a coincidence anyways, since originally Anakin and Vader were two different people.

Honestly, happened to me as well the other day.
