Other responses here are pretty great advice. I just want to add that feeling this way is pretty normal in our modern world.

Our society evolved much faster than our biology. This world isn't very satisfying with respect to the kinds of things our ancestors had to do I order to survive and be part of a group of other people. Most jobs feel unsatisfying because they are.

For example: it feels good to work a physically hard job in the same way exercise feels good, and yet physical work is often looked down upon as though there is no value in it (which is crap), and people who spend lots of time in a gym don't face that same stigma about sweating.

Install Emu Deck and it handles the rest for you in an intuitive GUI

Are you getting the music up there?

I would personally be inclined to take the meeting to better know how to counter their efforts.

I've been experiencing this on my comments too. I specifically kept my account open for now because I figured this might happen, and I want to be able to keep editing and deleting them.

The quality of the test environment isn't guaranteed though. I ran a production system that had a shell of a "test" environment with no data from prod. I repeatedly told the vendor testing in their "test" environment was worthless because without the prod data I had no real way to recreate so many of the situations that naturally came up for my users in the production software. The vendor refused to correct the problem, so I told them - with all the relevant managers present - to stop asking me to waste my time testing new releases when doing so was effectively useless.

I'd say it's kinda like having a "10-second" car that everyone loves and wants, but then you start ripping out some of the best performance parts and installing inferior parts in their place.

Does the car still run? It does. Is it slowly imploding because you've upset the engine's balance to the point where it's becoming dysfunctional? Also yes.

It's only a matter of time before the pretty paint job no longer hides the garbage under the hood.

Wow. That's especially pathetic of the admins.

I recently read the first Foundation novel as well as most of the second. Asimov was clearly not envisioning a more egalitarian future when he wrote about housewives destabilizing society when their appliances break and they can't get them fixed or replaced.

I honestly lost a lot of interest in continuing the series just because of that, but I also couldn't get attached to any of the characters since it zips around in history so quickly. I get that civilization itself is supposed to be a "character" of sorts, but that just doesn't appeal to me.

I did like the first season of the show, however.

You can get a sheet of PEI without the metal sheet. Maybe get a piece of glass and that PEI, and stick them together?

IIRC it's a bug not specific to the Steam Deck, but something to do with the way Linux is handling audio. So the fix then is harder to get implemented since it isn't confined to code that Valve controls. Valve has to wait for the problem to be fixed in the greater Linuxosphere first, but I'm sure they're assisting with it.

So one can tell you that the other is costing you too much.
