  • How would it be legally challengeable? No one can be legally forced to host someone else’s data against their will, that sounds ludicrous, otherwise people could sue YouTube for removing their videos before they were legally required to.

    The TOS are essentially a way to let you know what they will consider, but legally they can remove your repo without any reason, they’re not legally required to host your data.











  • Cool, that looks like a beefy system for that price, glad to see options, but:

    • It doesn’t list sizes, mini ITX is usually significantly larger than the Steam Machine.
    • Are they shipping it with SteamOS and will they support it? The page seems to imply it’s coming bare and pointing you to a tutorial on how to install it yourself and marking that as a positive.
    • Will it have CEC? I see no mention of it anywhere.
    • Will it support low power standby and fast resume? Especially during games? I know that’s mostly a software thing, but are they making sure it’s supported here?
    • Can it be woken from that state with a controller?
    • Does it have an internal steam controller antenna?
    • Or a wifi one?
    • Or a Bluetooth one?

    Looks like a good build considering current pricing, but realistically it’s missing a bunch of the core features of the Steam Machine that seems to fly over people’s heads

    I would have to go with either the Steam Deck or the Oculus Quest. But realistically I’ve spent orders of magnitude more time on the Steam Deck so I’ll go with that. But both were revolutionary in a way that no other console approached. Sure, the PS2 was great, but it was just a PlayStation with better graphics, and the PlayStation was AMAZING, but in my mind it was a Nintendo with better graphics.


  • Glad you solved it yourself, but I’m still struggling to understand what happened, how did you have them all in a single folder if the filename for docker compose has to be one of a few predetermined things? I mean, you could have them all in a single file, which makes some things easier, but then you wouldn’t have been able to move them into individual folders. Would you mind explaining what happened there so that if someone else in the future has the same issue they might find the solution here?

    Also, note that even if someone had given you an example of a working docker file you would still have to configure the service. For future reference, this site is great and has working examples of docker compose files for a lot of services, e.g. https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/radarr

    Finally, welcome to the club, sorry you had a bad experience the first time, it’s hard for us to know what’s obvious and what isn’t: https://xkcd.com/2501/








  • I mean, no one ever doubted Valve was a for profit company.

    They aren’t going to sell a product if they don’t make a profit.

    Obvious

    They want to make more profit.

    O don’t think that’s what’s happening here, RAM prices are ridiculously high, and the Deck has RAM and SSD. We also know they’re selling it close to cost so they wouldn’t have been able to take the hit on those increases, and the price increase seems to be exactly what the components have increased in price.

    They have the potential to enshitify at any moment.

    That’s also true, and something we should be weary of, but I don’t think it’s warranted on this case.

    how is it different than Apple locking its customers in a walled garden?

    Because their hardware is not locked. You can do whatever you want with your Deck. Wanna pirate games? Go ahead, wanna install windows in it? Be my guest. That’s part of the reason why Valve can’t sell these cheaper than manufacturing cost like most consoles are, because it’s an open architecture people would just buy it in bulk to do servers and shit like they did with the PS3 before it was locked down for this exact reason.

    What happens if they decide to make all the games you bought unavailable for licensing reasons? What happens if they shut down and suddenly all your games are gone What happens if they lock their hardware?

    What happens if the government starts abducting children for their secret brainwashing institution? What happens if they shut down all personal own property? What happens if they lock all of the frontier?.. Don’t you think you’re overreacting a little bit to RAM being more expensive and a product that has RAM becoming more expensive too?
