I would piggyback on the people saying to get a PC, and think about building a home theater PC. You can use steam big picture mode to make it act like a console, but you can also use it for other things. You can even use steam’s streaming capabilities to stream to other devices on your network like your phone or laptop if you want to be elsewhere.

this looks pretty neat, definitely adding to my wishlist.

My wife has struggled with disordered eating, and it’s been a long journey for both of us. She is also tall and got to a really scary place. She’s doing much better now, but it continues to be a process. Keep up the great work and don’t give up!

Did anyone else ever play Airfix Dogfighter? You got to fly model planes all through a house and break glass and stuff. Super fun times 😁

Yeah, it wasn’t until my second time starting the game that I took in any of the combat tutorials

For me after some time away from PC gaming, getting a steam deck was one thing that got me back into it. The other thing though was definitely selecting relatively short games. I played a lot of open-ended games that I could never finish like rimworld or crusader kings, it was nice to get back into games with a beginning middle and end. And in the same vein it means I’ve been playing stuff that I was interested in playing back in the 2010s but didn’t really have the time/money/hardware for

Do you think that a significant number of people who would benefit from some amount of student loan forgiveness are in this situation? Do you believe that it would be good to do nothing so that some undeserving people aren’t helped as well?

If there were a progressive candidate in the general election I would’ve voted for them 🤷 Believe me I didn’t vote for Biden with much hope for anything changing for the better in the country.

I’m using it both for notes at work (software development) as well as a separate graph for my own thoughts, ideas, todos, pretty much everything. Using Syncthing to sync my graphs between devices works pretty well, though it’s had a bit of a learning curve in getting it set up.

I’ve been playing Dishonored 2 on my Steam Deck. Played the original for the first time and went through in a pretty non-stealthy high chaos way, so I’m trying to go for a low chaos playthrough here.

I also grabbed Cassette Beasts on sale, so I’ve put a few minutes into that and I’m enjoying the 3D with 2D sprites aesthetic that I loved so much in the NDS Pokemon game

Just finished Dishonored and now I’m on to Dishonored 2

I just played through Dishonored, which worked great! Also Assassin’s Creed 2 was a fun one to finally finish from the backlog. It was the first game I completed on the steam deck and enjoyed messing around with configuring the controls to take advantage of the touchpads (used the left one to select from the weapon wheel)

Currently stuck in the testing phase for an issue at work. The code changes were simple, but trying to test things across pods in Kubernetes is a real pain in the butt. Hoping I’ll eventually feel more comfortable with Kubernetes, but there is just so much to learn.

Outside of work I’ve gotten back into Rollerblading which I hadn’t done since middle school, and I have some fun vacation plans coming up.

I’ve started contributing to logseq, and I hope to start making contributions to castopod

Both are projects that I’m actively using, and I want to help them improve!

Greater Boston area here, and I love it! Lots of friends from school happen to live here, and the job market has been decent for me as a software engineer.

I’m pretty sure KDE neon is only meant for testing KDE applications and so isn’t guaranteed to be stable with anything but those packages. Other distros should be maintained with more general-purpose use in mind

Any other rabbit owners here? The REW is Phoebe and the brown one is Chester.

Glad to have another excuse to drop a walled-garden platform. After a few months my mastodon feed has become more engaging than my twitter ever was, and I’m looking forward to joining some communities of excellent people here!
