Of course it does. This particular change may seem innocuous in itself, but the idea of compliance with ridiculous laws like this one, in one jurisdiction, being implemented in a project used globally will result in compromising everyone's privacy/security, regardless of whether they are even subject to that law or not.

If anything, it's more troubling for those outside the relevant jurisdiction, since we get 0 say on the laws, and have no actual reason to comply.

They don't really have to support the controller, though. Steam input lets you map controller inputs to kb/m inputs, so no degree of controller support is required. If there are any programmes that don't work (which is possible, there are weird quirks in any system), I've certainly never encountered them.

That kind of case makes sense, actually.

Wow, that's wild. I guess that's what you get from being such a young/niche project, they haven't had the time/demand to come up against the problems that all the other distros had to solve years ago.

Am I looking at the wrong device? Beelink EQ15 looks like it has an N150 and looks like 16GB of ram? That's plenty for quite few VMs. I run an N100 minipc with only 8GB of RAM and about half a dozen VMs and a similar number of LXC containers. As long as you're careful about only provisioning what each VM actually needs, it can be plenty.

But then for that you have distrobox, which is great. If that's not enough, running another OS is also trivial, so that downside really is only 'kinda', as you say!

They're referring (I believe) to the screenshot right at the top of the article, which includes this absurd calculation:

border-radius: max (0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );

My guess (hope!) is that this is not 'serious' code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it's possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).

Don't even need to remote in to anything, just store your working code on a network share

Not sure why people here are all arguing about why you would want to use discs, rather than the fact that the Steam Deck is a PC, of course you can absolutely used discs. All you need to do is plug in a USB disc drive, and it's ready to go. I've installed a bunch of my older PC games from CD/DVD that way, and it works great. Even under Linux, applications like Lutris make installing Windows game discs pretty easy, and once they're installed, you're ready to go.

Yes, CUPS is what I'm talking about there being no good way of setting it up. (Obviously can't be a flatpak, and no dice installing it with distrobox -- trivially, at least -- too tied to the system, I think)

To say I'm annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:

currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses $ for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.
