  • Streaming From Linux PC to Deck While Docked

    Jump

  • Just checking, but you are running this on the deck while docked to a TV, right? I can stream just fine to the deck while undocked. It is while it is docked to the TV that is the problem.

    I do have experience with using the moonlight/sunshine combo though, so if I have to go that route I can, I would just prefer a native steam solution.

  • But why!?

    "We are looking to use evidence-based teaching methods". Also: "There isn't a lot of research on this, but we're forging ahead anyway".

  • Why were early humans so fit if their diet pretty much only consisted of meat?

    Jump

  • The claim that was being refuted was that humans ate a diet that "pretty much only consisted of meat". That is not the case despite the fact that our crops today are bred to be larger and more calorie dense. Humans did eat vegetable and fruit alongside meat in our ancient past.

  • Why were early humans so fit if their diet pretty much only consisted of meat?

    Jump

  • Yes but there were and still are wild, edible fruit and vegetables. Humans were hunter gatherers. We have always eaten whatever we could get a hold of. We're omnivores for a reason.

  • What languages do you speak? What languages are you learning?

    Jump

  • I speak English natively, and Hebrew pretty well. I am learning Russian and can get by with a lot of context. I know enough French to get the gist of simple conversations and have studied a bit of Irish.

    Of note, I have also been studying Old English off and on for a few years.

  • That sucks. I am sorry that you can't do the simple thing that so many of us take for granted. My animal friends are real friends to me and I am so glad that I get to have them in my life.

    I'm sure that if you keep pushing, you will eventually find yourself in a position to make it real. In the meantime, here are two of mine. This is Dipper and Aang.

  • What are YOUR niche hobbies?

    Jump

  • Just takes a lot of boredom and lots of muscle memory. Not hard, per se, but unrewarding until you've put more time into than you'd think. A lot of skills within a week or so, you should have some sort of improvement to show for it. Not so much with contact juggling.

    But once you've gotten ok at it, it kinda looks like magic.

  • What are YOUR niche hobbies?

    Jump

  • I got into contact juggling a decade or two ago. It is basically a form of juggling in which a clear or solid-colored ball stays in contact with your body to interesting effect. Think the Goblin King from the movie "Labyrinth".

    It is rare enough that you don't meet many people that have seen it, and with enough of a learning curve that not many people that start ever really get anywhere with it.

  • Anyone here on Steamdeck?

  • What distros would you recommend for use on a (non-gaming) Laptop?

    Jump

  • Gotcha. For those that are happy with the upgrade process and stability of what they are on though, is there anything that makes it more enticing?

    I may end up giving it a go just to round out my experience with the various flavors and get some real experience with RPM.

  • The major corporations will come. what then?

    Jump

  • I will honestly have to look into it more. It seemed interesting, but I have not done a deep dive into how it works.

  • The major corporations will come. what then?

    Jump

  • Definitely. P2P is the way to go, but has its costs. It would be really good to see a semi-federated/P2P hybrid or some other architecture that allows some of the best of both worlds.

  • The major corporations will come. what then?

    Jump

  • It is a bit more complicated than that, but ultimately you are right. I am not really afraid of a ban but rather the soft legislation that simply disincentivizes it. Throwing cold water on a project before it is even off the ground is enough to kill something without ever coming out against it entirely.

  • What distros would you recommend for use on a (non-gaming) Laptop?

    Jump

  • So, I know I could just look this up and get answers off google, but for the sake of conversation, why do you prefer Fedora over something like say, Mint?

    I have bounced around through several distros (Mint, Ubuntu, Arch, Pop, a bit of Slack), and have always found something in each that could draw me in. What does it for you in Fedora?

  • The major corporations will come. what then?

    Jump

  • So, what I would guess is that they would take a similar tack to other decentralized services or FOSS initiatives. You find people that are using the technology to skirt an existing law, for instance sharing pirated media, circumventing encryption, or some other thing that shouldn't be a crime, but technically is. Then, you demonize the whole technology for that one set of infractions. Make an attempt to ban the whole the technology, but then walk it back to just a set of regulations that make it almost impossible to comply.

  • The major corporations will come. what then?

    Jump

  • What I would honestly fear happening more than corpos coming in to buy up communities is the possibility of them join forces to lobby congress or other governmental authorities into creating unfavorable legislation and regulation.

    It is nice to be in a free world, but freedom is a threat to those that want to make money off of peoples' attention.
