It’s possible they want to support Steam Deck without supporting the rest of linux desktop, which would just be… dumb. The Steam Deck, in Valve’s own words, is “just a PC” anyway.

Considering they unbanned all most of the linux users last time though, this is likely just another mistake.

We’re up to 12 linux users banned in the past ~day

sp6,

*Cross-posted. Yes, I think it is relevant to all of those communities and deserves attention

sp6,

Apex is listed as Steam Deck Verified. Since Steam Deck and desktop linux use the same compatibility tool, Proton, that means both should be supported.

Additionally, the last time this happened, Apex unbanned all of the desktop linux users, which is at least a soft-confirmation that it’s supported.

sp6,

How would you have phrased it? I figured if I left “falsely” out, it would come off like the bans were intentional. But to be fair, I guess we don’t know if it’s intentional or a bug yet… but I imagine, and hope, it’s a bug.

It’s currently at 10% positive reviews. I think once this chart updates in ~11.5 hrs, it will officially be the worst-reviewed steam game of all time: steam250.com/bottom100

sp6,

Individual stocks is probably a bad idea (since that’s basically gambling), but investing in something like broad-market index funds in a retirement account is better sooner rather than later. Since the stock market roughly doubles every 10yrs, your money is worth a lot more when you’re young, hence “I wish I did this in my 20s”

Don't you find it disappointing that people apply Herd Mentality for upvoting top comments, even if it's not the best one out there?

It doesn’t matter if the most upvoted comment is pro or against subject in discussion. All that matters is bolstering a comment that is minimally compatible with participant’s thinking and making it win against the opposite argument (competing and most voted one)....

sp6,

Thankfully Lemmy somewhat negates this with their ranking algorithm. “Hot” is the default for comments and “active” is the default for posts, which according to the Lemmy docs, both “Counterbalance the snowballing effect of votes over time with a logarithmic scale.”

Basically, if a newer comments gets some upvotes, but still has fewer upvotes than older comments, that new comment will still be shown near the top at first. Then after some time passes, the algorithm slowly shifts to sorting more by “raw” number of votes instead of taking time into account.

How do I block an entire instance from showing up in New?

So I browse New to try and find new and interesting communities, but New is already flooded by bots. I’ve managed to block a few of these bots as “a person”, but one of them (Lemmit.OnlineBot), I can’t pull up their profile to block them. It just times out, every time. They are also running on their own instance, so if I...

sp6,

If you use lemmy in a web browser, you can sort of do this using uBlock Origin’s advanced filters. I made a YSK post about it: lemmy.world/post/435133

sp6,

That’s nice, although somewhat different than what OP linked. I think the filter you linked will completely remove shorts, where the extension OP linked (Youtube Shorts Block) will instead convert shorts into a normal video, despite the misleading name. Although I think the extension has an option to completely block shorts too

sp6,

There was a big Lemmy discussion about that article 2 weeks ago too: lemmy.world/post/467454
