looks like crypto bullshit

What? You need to give us context before you criticize something. I have no clue what you’re on about.

He stated that the company was in the “early stages” of creating the device, which is still years away from a possible launch.

Sounds like it’s not a real thing yet, in my opinion. Companies as big as Sony are always “exploring” new products, that doesn’t mean they’ll be real. For the record, I love my Steam Deck, and I hope the portable market expands. But this isn’t real news, IMO.

Oops, didn’t notice which community we were in 😂

BeyondTrust and SimpleHelp both support this functionality. You can invite a second technician to join the session. I suspect all they’re really doing is opening up a second session at the same time, but the end result is that you can have two people remotely controlling a single computer.

But those are both “tech support” focused tools, so I don’t know if they quite fit your use case. Parsec is another option that specifically advertises collaborative work like pair programming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA21BnUsBJI

I like to keep one of these tucked away: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-k400-plus-tkl-wireless-membrane-keyboard-for-pc-tv-laptop-tablet-with-built-in-touchpad-black/7575039.p

I haven’t tried it out, but this is a thing: https://github.com/Merrit/nyrna

Ah I see, that’s probably what confused me.

Wasn’t the Glorious Eggroll guy supposed to stop developing GE Proton in favor of a different, better way of doing it? I forget the specifics but I remember seeing that posted several months ago.

EDIT: found it, it’s ULGWL, since renamed to “umu”. Anybody know if that’s still happening? I was under the impression that the guy was going to eventually drop Proton GE completely for umu. But maybe I misunderstood.

I’ve been experiencing some right wrist pain from too much mousing (at work and while gaming). So I find myself playing on the Deck more than my desktop PC nowadays.

They could definitely treat developers better, but they’re an example of treating customers right. That’s why they’re the biggest platform, and that’s why they admittedly have something debatably close to a monopoly.

Valve is an excellent example of a company that is privately owned, so they don’t have to satisfy shareholders with constant growth for growth’s sake. And yet they’re still growing and making a profit, because they make a good product.

Phil and Xbox don’t have that luxury because their masters sold out decades ago.

Ooohhhhh thanks for explaining, that makes perfect sense. I’ve always wondered why my filament is brittle in the extruder but not on the roll.

No, filament dries much faster than hot glue, it’s solid within a second after coming out of the nozzle.

Use tile adhesive, it’s the proper tool for the task.

Yeah it’s a data broker broker. Totally legit.

Patreon?

Looks like it’s not really designed to be self hosted yet. So, if you’re self hosting, Immich is still probably the way.

What features do you specifically want? You mentioned sandboxing. Anything else?

I’d say just keep it simple. If you’re comfortable with Debian then stick with that, study up and learn how to harden it. Kali, ParrotOS, Mint, Ubuntu…they’re all just based on Debian with different preinstalled apps and desktop environments. Fedora and Arch are kinda weird and unique, I’m not sure if I’d recommend those for anyone, unless you KNOW that’s what you need. Qubes seems interesting, I’m not familiar with that.

But I’ll point out that ALL of these distros are miles ahead of Windows in terms of privacy. So just by using Mint for a while, you were already ahead of the curve.

Looks like the normal price to me?

Why is it not mainlined into Proton, you mean? It uses proprietary (not open source) components. Proton is a fully open source project, and therefore cannot incorporate GE’s tweaks. But GE is free to continue making his special fork, and it’s a great option for most users that don’t mind using closed source software.
