There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • You can probably encase a Raspberry PI with a battery and a touch screen, micro SD cards can go much higher than 16, and install Linux. Keep in mind that the Linux touch UIs aren't really great imo, the best experience I've had so far is the steam deck.

    Simple and de-facto way to encrypt files and directories in Linux
  • I've been using gocryptfs now for a few years and it works fine as you describe.

    You initiate the encrypted folder, set up automatic backups for it. Then whenever you want to access it you mount it into another folder.

    There is a distinction here between the permanently encrypted folder that you can upload backup whatever, and your temporary mount, unencrypted folder.

    If you're alright with the rare conflicts to fix yourself something like syncthing works well for this setup even across computers.

  • Is it possible to generate this kind of funny image with your own face already? I know that there's all the deepfake type stuff people do but I assume with an image generator you get better quality.

    This might be obvious but I'm very out of the loop on image generation

    Opinion | Don’t Get Fooled Again by Crypto
  • Cryptocurrencies are not like stocks, stock is partial ownership of an enterprise which has the ultimate goal of generating more revenue, stocks are not a trading currency.

    Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?
  • Yes I have setup recurring donations for some projects that really do ease up and save me so much time, although I don't think that this should be the way to keep OSS projects alive at the end of day.

    If we let it companies will outsource this responsibility to us, even when often in the current economy they are the biggest profiteers from OSS and adjacent projects.

    I donate to neovim and endeavour os, I would also donate to awesome / whatever tiling manager I currently use as it just saves me so much time (and literal pain in my case by reducing the use of the mouse).

    These people are doing great job in maintaining systems that are easy to use, fast and very customizable, making actually using my computer enjoyable as opposed to the slow, non accessible, bloated UIs from other OSs

  • There are solutions to it. For example in Scala I've had to use Class tags a couple of times before and they were ergonomic and functioned well

    A use of Vim keybindings you might not have expected!
  • As someone that has also spent an unnecessary amount of time doing things like setting up developer envs, ricing and encryption on the steam deck I appreciate this post 👍

    That's LTT in the bottom
  • I agreee with you on the side of the concept, but the way it is organised and the potential values seem to make no intuitive sense (if they make any)

  • I play StarCraft II regularly, have played Diablo IV and just started WarCraft 3 recently, all without any issues. All you need is proton or install steam and add a non-steam game.

    Rust from a Scala perspective
  • For sure, this has been something I learned from working in Scala that has made my code in other projects much more readable and easier to reason about. For performance reasons I may need to use mutables, but often I can keep it in the context of the function and just encapsulate it.

    Do you sometimes buy things that are unhealthy for you? (Most people do.) Do you feel guilty for it? or have you accepted it's a normal & kinda necessary part of your life?
  • Man I was going to agree with you until you brought up that you can be healthy eating McDonalds as long as you can control the portions. Eating hyper processed food WILL lead to worse health outcomes, just filter out industry sponsored studies and look at the results.

    Younger users of Lemmy: Did you ever love a game that you just really sucked at?
  • Yea StarCraft 2 was this game for me. I first saw some beta gameplay from TotalBiscuit and just got hooked into it and I was so ridiculously bad. I still play every year around Christmas for some reason

    Rust from a Scala perspective
  • Iam curious what features do you find missing in rust that the scala ecosystem has? Is it FP specific systems like cats? I know I've already seen what seemed like a decent actor system

    Linux holds a market share of approximately 14% in India.
  • Do you have any interest in relocating outside India? You seem to have a good domain of English and softskills on top of some Linux. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the personal projects you mention

    Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly
  • Also adding to other people, they "poached" games from other platforms.

    eg they wanted Rocket League, which I have on Steam and am happy to continue using there, to be completely removed from my account and available through the epic launcher some 3(?) years after I first bought it. Eventually they backpedaled, only due to community backlash, people that owned it on steam can still play it there.

    If you're serious about not knowing about all this stuff take a look at https://steamcommunity.com/groups/EpicGamesSucks/discussions/0/1796278072844560561/ Obviously Steam biased, but a very good index
