Dude, seriously!! I really do hope this becomes a thing. I would LOVE to have a controller that mimicks the steam deck’s controls, but without a screen… That SteamVR leak looks like that’s basically exactly what it is!! 😭 PLEASE, valve!

Imagine the chads at valve actually respond to the gimp 3 release by announcing HL3.
bonus points if they use gimp 3 to make the thumbnail
Ah shit, seriously? Congrats!
If you haven’t already, you should really play half life Alyx now! It’s an unforgettable experience in VR, so if you can hold out to play it in a headset you should!
If not though, there are mods out there to switch it to a standard flat-screen FPS. But I don’t think the experience would be nearly as cool!

Nah as much as i love doing stuff via terminal, I am extra paranoid specifically about writing to the wrong device and losing data; I prefer as many confirmations as possible that I’m writing to the correct drive, and graphical installers tend to give me just a few more reassurances. A few examples would be stuff like
- a graphical representation of partitions (the general layout of a drive tends to offer an easy ‘fingerprint’ in my mind; like the pattern of partitions help me confirm I’m looking at, say, a Debian install USB compared to a single-partition general purpose storage disk)
- icons for different types of devices, like an SD card, USB, or hard disk icon
- confirmation dialogues summarizing what device is targeted, and what all will be performed
I’m also the kind of person who stares at a written email worrying about every last nuance of my phrasing, so 🤷♂️😂 definitely a me problem, I think!
xttweaponttx@sh.itjust.worksto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Tails no longer recommending balenaEtcher13·2 months agoBalenaetcher has, for me at least, failed to write to USBs for the last 3 years or so that I’ve tried to use it - meanwhile random iso writers from flatpak have been more reliable for me. Very obnoxious that so many iso related sites recommend it. Rufus kicks tons of ass, if for whatever reason you’re still on windows.
Also on most distros I’ve tried, the disk utility has some sort of right click or context menu that gets you a ‘restore disk image’ button that works great as well.
Edit= I used Popsicle USB writer from flatpak on steam deck with no issue today! Made by system76 (makers of popOS) and found on flatpak. It is absolutely no frills, but works well enough to write an SD card image for a raspberry pi! 🙂
What the shit - this is how I learn ‘cd’ without parameters takes you home?!?!
The amount of times my dumb ass has typed “cd ~/.” Or something stupid instead of a simple cd… Gaht dang

“This victory against Google is an historic win for the American people,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “No company — no matter how large or influential — is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws.”
Only to be followed a few paragraphs down by

Sigh.

Speed run strats. Give me the half hour in 5 minutes.
I just found this!
https://github.com/steam-deck-controller/steam-deck-controller
Looks like a project to basically cram the steam Deck components into a 3dprinted shell - but it isn’t finished yet!
There’s a proof of concept video in there where it’s shown connected to a PC with a standard USB ribbon pinned to a 2.0 A head… Might have to give it a go someday!
