This is fucking awesome!

(Steam Beta now gives us options for transferring game files over your local network if they're already installed on another PC).

@killyourfm That feature has been in stable SteamOS for a few weeks already.

this cursed bug that seemingly will never get fixed. closing a non-steam app is black magic for this neat little thing.

SteamOS's task switcher showing the YouTube logo and a list of links/buttons for the app including "Exiting game...", which is a result of clicking the "Exit game" button. The app is stuck in this state and refuses to exit properly.

@irfanhakim I wonder if you need to reflash or something. I used to have similar issues with Discord in particular but haven't had the problem even once since reflashing.

Are you on stable or have you switched to one of the other unstable versions of SteamOS?

I keep getting quite a lot of positive feedback about my . Even @Gargron liked my post where I explained the design choices made. Thank you everyone so much about the input. I'm kinda surprised so many prefer mine over the default. I lost count in how many instances enabled it for all their users.

I've been thinking about rewriting the Mastodon base SCSS. I'm a CSS/SCSS guy after all. The new base framework would have

  • CSS variables instead of SCSS variables with SCSS function modifications: Easier to manage
  • Simpler style base: Less nesting, less hacks, less everything: Cleaner code
  • Better and more efficient modularization
  • Accessible and flexible SVG graphics instead of icon fonts like Font Awesome

However, it would be a lot of work. I created my version of the UI in a couple of weeks, then been improving it daily.

Worth noting is that not everyone prefers this choice of design as it's way too close to a site we all hate. That's why I'm afraid if I do all the work and send a PR, it would go in vain. It could still be a good start though.

I have high hopes for to improve the UI themselves and look forward to it to get better over time. I just have ideas. Will keep the choices open here.

I don't need to explain why stonetoss is a bad sign to people who follow fediblock I think.

They obscure their timelines, probably to avoid looking obviously bad.

The World 2 music is one the GameBoy's best tracks. Period. And that Pause sound triggers the deepest nostalgia... :)

@retronianne That track in particular feels really nostalgic for me for some reason. Love it so much.

    @jeff @jan Are you planning to commercialize this relay in the future?

    I'm fine with promising not to sue over doing what a relay is supposed to do, I just don't understand why "commercial and non-commercial" is part of the language being used here. Thanks.

    Given Valve mentioned the would be a stepping stone to VR and we now have news about z1 extreme chips which are projected to be about 25% slower than a PS5.

    It seems like Valve will be in a great position to release a standalone headset with enough performance to drive games with lowered settings, which would still look miles better than the games on current standalone headsets.

    Does anyone know what is going on with @nova on ? First there was a “we will persevere through this” comment with no context, and now she’s leaving, and again the context seems to be missing.

    Is she ok?

    What happened?

    Could we have done something to make this a better experience for her?

    Can we learn something from this so we can improve in the future?

    @christian @anders I had not seen any of this before. My initial reaction to seeing the start of her thread last night (did it ever continue beyond one or two toots?) was "oh boy, what dumb shit did you get called out for?"

    Saw someone wondering why the isn’t a bigger deal (it’s sold less than 2% of the lifetime). I think it’s because:

    -Hardware isn’t Valve’s main thing. Consider the similar situation of how Microsoft never really dislodged the iPad with the Surface.
    -Most of its games weren’t designed with it in mind, at least not as the main device.
    -Steam is a very dated UX and its limitations are more obvious when you leave gaming PC land.

    jay,
    @jay@toot.zerojay.com avatar

    @eARCwelder Can't really expect the Steam Deck to sell as much in a single year as the Switch's 6 year lifetime. Doesn't mean it isn't a big deal in its own right. Selling over a million in a year when the supply was as hard to come by as it was and without retail presence is impressive.

    Reddit just hired the guy who brought ads to your Facebook and Instagram feeds!

    Former Meta exec Jim Squires will be tasked with getting engineers to make more ad products for Reddit.

    You wanna know why every Big Social service ends up becoming more and more alike?

    Because one Big Social firm hires executives from another to do what they did at their previous company.
