Are you going to actually tell us what they took down or just give links to a cesspool?

Does apt remove remove apt?

Think? I have one, and I’ve had it for just over two years.

It’s a portable PC with joysticks for it’s primary input.

Even the sales page refers to it being a portable PC and only “console-like”.

https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

Powerful, portable PC gaming, designed for comfort and a console-like user experience.

It provides a KDE desktop out of the box. It’s not locked down, there is nothing console about it except in vague appearance because it comes with joysticks. If it lets my write my own code (which it does) and run them (which it does) then it is a general purpose computer.

Ergonomically I would plug in a keyboard rather than write Python on the touchscreen, but I would do that with a desktop too.

It’s okay that your wrong. It’s obvious that you’ve never used one, or really understand what it is. Which is a general purpose computing device.

I can, but you seem to be confused as to what a Steam Deck is.

You do know it is one click to the desktop, right?

It just starts the machine in big picture mode but is doesn’t require you to crash steam to access the rest of the OS. It’s just starting with a controller friendly interface because the primary purpose is gaming but they don’t hide Linux from you.

You can use general purpose one to only run one app 99% of the time, but it’s a general purpose personal computer you’re using.

So they are running Linux? Because you don’t need to hack/root/magic keypress to access other applications.

That sounds like the majority of users. I’m trying to think of how many times I needed to “use Linux”.

I interact with Firefox, IntelliJ, and a few other applications and IntelliJ hides all of the CLI so I don’t have to know git, and I don’t have to know where my files are.

My mother wouldn’t know how to install a driver in Windows, or even how to navigate to a file in Explorer. Does that mean she isn’t a Windows user?

I think you are being overly pessimistic about what counts as a user.

I’ve used MacOS for about 20 years, and it’s a shit show. But…

Where are your files?

They are in my user folder, same as every other OS. I can see them all in Finder. Root is hidden, but that’s options “tick box to display disks”.

What is happening at full screen

So what you would consider maximise is “move to new dedicated virtual desktop”, but you can also cmd+click maximise, drag to the top to traditional maximise or left/right for half screen.

I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.

I’d say the opposite. How do I move this window to the next desktop using shortcut keys? You have to display desktops and then drag or to the desktop you want. No real shortcut for a basic feature.

Emoji picker also seems to be broken, so when adding something on a chat I have to navigate with keyboard because clicking on the emoji I want works about 50% of the time, they rest of the time it just closes the window.

They don’t run Windows they run Explorer.

Linux is a kernel. They run Linux.

Or do you mean “they don’t run KDE/Gnome/LXDE”?

And we have that too.

We are talking about standard sockets, they all have off switches on the socket.

You have a switch for your electrical sockets by your door? What a weird place to put them all.

We have our light switches by the door. Much more useful.

I would kill for an all in one, “single pane of glass” way to browse

We used to have one, and it was great.

RIP Boxee.

[Edit] Most countries have pretty bad surveillance. America is unique in projecting bad things on other countries without having any self reflection.

The UK isn’t great, but its not really an outlier compared to anywhere else.

China has at least 200 million cameras installed in the country. … other countries such as the United States and Germany have 50 million and 5.2 million CCTV Cameras each. The list goes on with other countries with more than 1 million cameras. The United Kingdom has 5 million CCTV cameras installed

In fact

The United States has 15.28 CCTV cameras every 100 individuals, followed by China with 14.36 and the United Kingdom with 7.5.

queue criticism

It’s cue.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cue

a signal (such as a word, phrase, or bit of stage business) to a performer to begin a specific speech or action

That last line is your cue to exit the stage.

I assume you were requesting a critique on your comment.

Weird. I haven’t.

Don’t get me wrong, banning words is stupid and gives us the Scunthorpe problem and I am very glad that we have an alternative to Reddit because its just a cesspit.

The subreddit “r/unpopularOpinions” was not full of unpopular opinions, and the words banned were obviously popular opinions because everyone talked about them until the API change and the regime cracked down.

I don’t know about that. People post obviously popular opinions repeatedly if they aren’t banned.

Unpopular opinion, but I dislike the top ten Christmas songs

Yeah, no shit. Even though they are the “top ten”.

Or maybe, its not actually an unpopular opinion!

That’s weird that there are several ways to get access to the Quick Guides, and some seem to want an email.

However it doesn’t use it and takes junk (I just used [email protected] which was accepted), but sad that the form you found needed it.

But to answer your question, no I missed that link and went to “downloads” which also has the guide but doesn’t appear to require any email.
