“After several days of tests, I have been diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, which is a serious but curable form of cancer. I am about to embark on a course of chemo-immunotherapy on an outpatient basis at Med Star Georgetown University Hospital and Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prognosis for most people in my situation is excellent after four months of treatment.” — statement from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland)

Absolutely the most important impact the Steam Deck has had and continues to have is basically forcing AAA studios to compile games to run natively on Linux. If nothing else, that's it.

As a full time, no apologies, zero Apple or Microsoft products in my house kind of guy, I am utterly smitten by this development trend.

I don't own a deck and not sure when I will. But my mantra is "if it doesn't run on Linux, I guess I can live without it" and the concept of FOSS-FIRST is really lovely to me.

Doing my usual weekly skating, this time, in the evening. The foot traffic is a lot heavier, but I still have fun, especially with my own skates, and Link socks.

There is a downside of the huge influx from birdsite over the past weeks:

Before the influx started, I had about 50 moderation requests the past 4 years.

The newest moderation request is #377.

Remember that you as a user can:
- mute a user
- block a user
- mute a whole server

... and most important:
- you can think twice if you really need to report a user to the admins or just relax and call it an idiot and ignore that user.

Screw it. We're playing Dreamcast with a Wii Classic Controller!
Bonus points to whoever recognises the game.

i have a design replacement idea for those who say that #mastodon is difficult to use

PCGamesN: "The Steam Deck is missing an important element – exclusives"

Me: With much respect: no.

Exclusives suck. The Steam Deck is a PC. It runs games made for Linux and Windows. It would mean making a game only for Linux and locking it to Steam Deck - just no. Can we please not entertain that idea?

Only console fanboy zealots like exclusives.

An fascinating interview with #Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko. The platform's current success isn't just the result of Elon Musk's purchase, but it's also down to years of hard work on the business and the app itself. Looking forward to seeing Mastodon's growth.
