Very nice format, keep it going!

Please consider Ghost or Write.as, both are part of the fediverse, support markdown (meaning easy to import content from Lemmy) AND they both support public and paid-for content with ready to use payment gateways.

I don’t have much to give but I will donate to your crusade for great content.

Thank you for the write dot as recommendation, it looks quite nice! I don’t want to give anyone the wrong impression, I am not in this for any kind of money or rewards or views or metrics, nor ads or anything nefarious.

I have been looking at where and how to back these up, but as I say - I want these to be on Lemmy. I believe so strongly in the FOSS alternatives to social media, I had the worst experiences making Reddit and Discord my choices last year (and previously), but since this year, and only choosing places like Lemmy and Mastodon? It’s been such a stark contrast, and a much more positive experience.

Thank you though, as ever Warmaster! I notice you dropped off Matrix and the Revolt server and wondered why! Hope you’ve been well, taking care of you and your family and gaming happily too :)

fmstrat,

Ghost is what we use (self-hosted) and it supports ActivityPub along side Lemmy (activitypub.ghost.org). I dont believe it yet supports full-article posting, only links, though.

Decided to replay Prey 2017 after… 8 years? Good lord.

Anyway, going in with New Game+ makes things so much more interesting.

That could be what they’re waiting for.

However, I do not believe SteamOS is going to be the silver bullet people think it is. I’m somewhat of a fanboy of Valve but SteamOS is really only good for a console-like PC experience.

People who want to ditch Windows need to look at Linux as a whole, not just SteamOS.

Michael Horn talks about this in greater detail: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4g1dZfF5KA

DeathsEmbrace,

If people want to ditch Windows then the gaming industry needs to stop gating the community. Either get rid of the shitty anti Linux anticheat or tell them to turn on Linux support naturally. For fucks sake I can’t believe I find out most anticheat just needs a simple email to turn it on for Linux.

JakobFel,

I agree entirely. An argument could be made about native Linux releases being too much but most games run with Proton if the devs don’t intentionally cripple it through kernel anticheat or other arbitrary limitations.

CMLVI, do games w Will all these multiplayer games being released without support for LAN or hosting our own servers no longer be multiplayer when the company shuts down the servers?
@CMLVI@lemmy.world avatar

Unlikely to care, realistically. I play multiplayer games with friends; I cannot think of the last time I wanted to play Gears of War 2, or Forza Motorsport 3, or any number of other games I’ve played with friends in the past that I own copies of.

I get the sentiment behind this, and I do think there should be a backend set up for private lobbies through P2P connection for when the inevitable occurs. But on the scale of things I’m worried about daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, this doesn’t register at all.

Fun fact: you can drop your KKK guys in a pig farm, and they are hungry.

Reminder that supporting a single GPU is a lot simpler than supporting all of them…

mic_check_one_two,

Also, SteamOS would make a dogshit desktop OS. It’s designed specifically for Steam’s Big Picture Mode. It has Arch running in the background, but that’s not the primary focus of the OS.

It would be great for something like an arcade cabinet or a family TV, but not so great for a desktop.

JohnEdwa,

Yup.
I’ve spent a good while running Deck in desktop mode compared to my laptop running Manjaro, and so far the only thing I’ve noticed is that the Deck has that handy “add to steam” context menu item that automatically sets a 3rd party game to run in proton through steam.
And there’s an AUR package for that.

So unless there’s something major I’ve managed to miss, Manjaro + that package gets you the entire desktop SteamOS experience on any device.

They can make SteamOS Lite at any point.

mic_check_one_two,

My point is that it already basically exists… It’s called Arch.

SCmSTR, do gaming w Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year

Fuck. I would have to seriously consider that if they did. But imagine valve running kernel design and security support. There’s no way they would do that as a competitive alternative to Windows. None. No way. It would ruin them and so much of what makes them special and a positive influence to everything.

mic_check_one_two,

Valve wouldn’t be running kernel design. SteamOS is just a heavily modified version of Arch. Arch runs the kernel design and security, while Steam just runs on top of it.

Fuck me that is the most wholesome shit I’ve seen in a while.

Edit: OP, you should crosspost this to uplifting news community. I just saw a post from that community where members were complaining of the lack of actual uplifting news because there are so many posts like the one I saw this complaint in that are cinical in a kind of satirical way. For example, the post I saw the complaint in was about a boat filled with youtube influencers almost sank and everyone almost drowned.
