Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the past month, sorted by playtime.
Worth noting that Steam doesn't track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn't include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.

in a word, intersectionality. you're getting people who were already looking for an excuse to ditch reddit and twitter, and of that group, you're selecting the ones with the most tech literacy. That tends to overlap people with progressive politics.

Aaron is no longer considered as cofounder by reddit. He fought for free speech.

If I were him I'd stand by that defense. It's a carefully worded and sane defense. He's not defending child abuse, he's saying, extremely clearly and plainly, that possession of evidence is not the same as committing abuse, and that the law shouldn't use possession as a scapegoat. Which, given that every attempt to censor the internet in the last 10 years has started with "protect the children", I'd say he was trying to cut that tactic off at the head.

Seeing how good Lemmy is makes me frustrated with Mastodon
Hear hear! I thought I didn't like the fediverse because Mastodon did such an awful job selling it to me. "Oh, I can't view other instances' local timelines without making accounts on them? What's even the point of federation then?" But on Lemmy you can easily browse communities outside your own instance. So it's not the fediverse's fault, Mastodon just doesn't have a clear audience.
And yeah, I can see how a lot of Mastodon's features are "privacy-focused", but I think it does TOO good a job, it's so private that you can't find anything!

Elon Musk supports eliminating voting rights for people without children
I feel like "has children" probably correlates with "has stable income", which makes this classism by another name.

Bedrock Minecraft on the SteamDeck?
There's an unofficial Bedrock launcher in Discover, it usually works for me! That being said I've had better luck running Java with a controller mod like Controllable. I run Geyser on my server so both clients work!

Basically, repeat the experiment under a wide range of conditions, and show that the conditions for success, if any, are far beyond the original claim. I always loved the 'mythbusters' approach: if one bible can't stop a bullet, how about two bibles? ten? where is the cutoff between true and false?

Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

That doesn't answer the question, they asked if it's open source. I agree, I don't want to replace one sketchy data-harvesting service with another, I'd be a lot more comfortable giving shutup10 control of my system if it was on github or gitlab.

How is Everyone Managing secrets in a Compose File Repo
I add .env to my .gitignore, then I can safely put secrets in my .env. If you have a big .env file, make a sample.env with the secrets removed.

POLL - Will you stay on lemmy?
Only if I can search it somehow. Google doesn't seem to index it.

Some old features I would like to see in Mc today
if you like the in-world smelting system, try NodeCore! It's open source, low system requirements, and is very "back to basics".

True... the trouble with open source is that nobody's getting paid to add features you want, huh.

Need help understanding a back-up script

I just looked up the man page, and actually head -n -2 means "everything up to but not including the last two lines", so this should always leave two files remaining.

Reddit/Twitter alternatives with working search?

Right, which defeats the purpose of the "fediverse" imo.

I don't mind waiting a bit. If the system works, the users will come eventually.

If iFixit starts selling steamdeck motherboards, can you buy just a motherboard and make a console-only version? Same motherboard, just no screen, battery, buttons.
Can't you basically do this already by installing SteamOS on a normal PC?

Won't this delete the two newest files, as opposed to everything except the two newest files?

[Request] Server-side plugin that prevents mobs spawning above ground at night but allows mobs to spawn in caves?

I didn't know that! I'd prever to use server-only mods though, for Geyser compatibility, but thanks for the suggestion!

[Question] Switch and Deck users, which games do you still prefer to play on switch?
I have an older switch vulnerable to fusee-gelee, so I've been using yuzu's tutorial for how to legally rip my purchased games from it.
I only use my Switch now for 1) Nintendo exclusives, that 2) I've already purchased, and 3) don't run well on Yuzu. So... Super Beat Sports, mostly. (Harmonix please make a PC port!)
