Games•Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards SupportEnglish
22·2 days agoOn the one hand, I don’t give a fuck about anti-cheat, because games using the kernel-level version tend to be giant multiplayer cesspools of little value.
On the other hand, I want Windows to lose the war.
I hope Valve can find the balance between these two extremes.

politics •Republican lawmakers grow alarmed over signs of 2026 election wipeout
44·2 days agoThe US system is so horrendously and completely biased towards the GOP, I don’t think polls mean much. Most of the country can not want a Republican and they’ll still be “fairly” elected.
I know we’re talking about midterms, but this is especially true of the Electoral College, where states with lower populations end up with higher representation per capita. Empty land doesn’t vote, but it does change elections in favor of the GOP.

18·6 days agoThis sounds like more of a “well I can’t control it anyway, and they already know everything, so fine” kind of cop-out as opposed to an actual argument in favor of digital ID.
What benefit would it provide?

Uplifting News•With new ordinance, Santa Fe becomes first city to tie minimum wage to rental costsEnglish
111·6 days agoThis will, unfortunately, inflate rents even further – as much as I love the idea.
One of the only real ways to bring down rents and thereby leave more money in workers’ pockets in a meaningful way is to tax vacancies. Without doing something like that, these extra wages go right to the landlords.
It was for me as well. Proton has been mostly there for years. I’m about to hit year 4 of gaming only on Linux.
I think the last hold out is kernel-level anti-cheat. Hoping it just goes away and consumers stop supporting it. One can dream.
I’m not going to dwell on how annoying it is that it took people THIS LONG to get off the Windows train. I’m just happy to see the world changing for the better.
Welcome to civilization, new Linux users!

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have gamesEnglish
4·14 days agoAnd given the history of BIOS as a concept, I guess that isn’t too surprising.
I wonder how much of that kind of thing stems from the fact that many of the really hardcore PC tinkerers aren’t using ARM (yet).

3·14 days agoGot it, yeah I misunderstood your comment as meaning there was no translation layer at all.
For me it’s just something to keep an eye on. I think ARM holds a lot of promise as x86 has started to feel a bit stagnant. Things like FEX could minimally be a good way to ensure backwards compatibility if devs start embracing ARM in any major way, but I suspect it is years out, if it happens at all.
But if I get a Frame, it would 100% be for the streaming.
