256GB ought to be enough for anyone!
I run most of my games off an SD card and it’s been fine.
(It seems people have not heard of the Bill Gates 640KB quote and/or my delivery is off)
Touchpads on the Deck are really great for on screen menus for things like ability bars and whatnot.


I’ve started using Disroot recently and I’m satisfied so far.


Megaman or X?


I run Sunshine on Arch-KDE-Wayland with a 4070Ti and stream at 1440 to another PC running the same thing. I haven’t checked frame rates in a while but it seems to be running fine for me.
Does the Thor run Linux with the standard Moonlight client? If you haven’t looked yet, double check Moonlight’s settings and make sure the frame rate, resolution, and other settings look ok.
If you’re streaming a Steam game, also make sure Steam doesn’t have it’s recording enabled. I think Valve enabled it by default some time ago and that tanked my frame rate at the time. There’s a “Game Recording” section in Steam’s settings where you can turn it off.
Sunshine also has logs in the Troubleshooting section on its web client. Maybe see if there’s anything fishy in there too.


Typical conservative MO. When things are going my way it’s all about how great I am and everyone else is useless. When things aren’t going my way, it’s all about how everyone is getting in the way and we all need to work together to achieve my goals.
Alberta separatism is even stupider. If they think getting a pipeline is hard now, imagine having to cross international borders. Even if they went south through the USA there will still be complications.
Good on Chrétien for calling this out publicly.


“Agentic Engineering”. No, it’s called vibe coding. AI bros are so desperate for legitimacy they make up fancy sounding titles for themselves.
But this isn’t engineering. Engineering takes rigor and discipline and process and understanding… A lot of it is extremely boring too. The code itself is probably the easiest (and I’d argue least important) part of software engineering. These guys are burning down forests to poorly automate the easy part.
I’m not saying that coding is easy in an absolute sense, but only relative to the rest of the discipline. A good engineer knows how to design/architect a system, understand tradeoffs, balance customer/user requirements with business needs, set up proper testing and releases, properly document everything, etc.


Good point. Laws are useless. Case closed.


I hope this goes to court. The UCP needs to be taught a lesson.


Pretty much! Crazies like Smith being in favour of something is a pretty good indication that it’s probably awful.


Have you tried ALVR? It works pretty well for me at least. Supposedly the latest Steam Link VR beta works with several headsets too.


This movie is worth watching. I really enjoyed it!


Fucking disgusting. I really hope they get their asses handed to them in the next election. I’ve heard there are some rural communities that are dissatisfied with the UCP, but not sure if there are enough of them.


I don’t use Discord very much. Why do they have ID photos?
Yes. I’m sure there are many reasons why, but one I’ve been thinking about recently is the idea of ownership. When capital is the only idea of ownership, that’s a problem. Labour is just as, or more important, and people doing the work should have a say in things. We still need capital (ie. things) but just because you own a building doesn’t mean you should get to dictate everything that happens with a venture. Collective ownership of capital and labour seems a good system. I don’t necessarily mean that the government owns things, but rather groups of people owning the buildings, machines, etc. More of a cooperative structure. Just something to prevent a single person owning everything, dictating to the workers, and using the resulting capital + labour to buy and own even more things… Leading to what we are all living through now.


And the UCP can’t afford to pay teachers…
Yes, one of those many jobs that the job creators are creating from their reduced taxes that they’re definitely not using for their own benefit after mass layoffs.
