The 1986 Transformers movie. I've been watching it since I was like 5. Sometimes I just work my way through the dialogue in my head when I'm bored.

Your mangled brain would like you to know that there is a boxer called Contact Mike.

He's actively anti-MAGA. Dude knows first-hand what fascism does to people.

Will Biden be doing the lip-syncing in this situation or is he the actual band?

"With great power, there must come great responsibility." Spider-Man comes up in a lot of my political arguments and it's an incredibly useful tool to get to some people.

I mean, they stole an election in 2000 and we just let that happen with no consequences. Nixon tried to cheat and was caught, and we let that happen with no consequences. They haven't liked democracy for a while now.

Your comment made me laugh aloud, and then be sad. Bravo.

Huh. Might be hardware and I got lucky. I do agree that hibernate on Linux is mostly terrible, though I have had plenty of issues with it in Windows too. I think hibernate mostly just sucks

Yes, this is my go to nowadays for all my family and friends. Atomic makes it harder for them to break it and everything just works out of the box.

I run Bazzite, which is Fedora Atomic, that hibernates just fine. In fact, so far it's the only one that does. Arch and Mint both would never come back from sleep.

Most of this already exists and they haven't taken that tack, though. SteamOS is just Arch and KDE, with access to anything Arch has access to. If you don't like that, Valve made it trivial to put another OS on the Deck, like Bazzite.

Steam Play is already a streaming technology, which works great and is free to use and has been for like at least a decade.

Steam Store is already gigantic, despite having some well funded competition who has to resort to exclusives and free game giveaways to entice users. It's already the de facto default game store for PC, and provides lots of extra features beyond just game delivery.

Most of the technology Steam uses (like Proton or GameScope or Arch) are open-source. We can (and do) fork their work for our own purposes regularly.

I don't think Valve is perfect, but I do think they value their open approach to technology. I think as long as the company is never publicly traded, I would imagine anyone who currently works at Valve would share that attitude with GabeN, otherwise I imagine they wouldn't work there long.

If they go public and have to report to shareholders, then I completely agree that the enshittification will be swift and merciless. I hope Gabe makes Valve an employee-owned co-op or something when he decides to retire. I can only imagine he has strong plans for the transition of power.

I'd work on my car and my computer/gamedev stuff, and teach others to do the same. Also more gardening.
