The SPI is awesome, I wish it were easier to donate internationally too.

With that budget I find it hard to imagine you could beat the Raspberry Pi, but please post what you do find!

Splitters!

They weren’t distributed directly by Valve though, there wasn’t a standard hardware configuration, and SteamOS 3 and Proton didn’t exist then.

I think with the strength of the Steam Deck now it’d really help to solidify the Valve ecosystem. Why buy a PlayStation and re-buy your games when you can just use Steam?

EDIT: That reminds me I really want a Steam Controller 2.0 too!

I hope Valve release a home console with SteamOS like this.

Because it’s a lot of work to check that repos contain no confidential information, and to sync internal and external repos if there is a need for some internal-specific stuff. Especially when most software is very specific - e.g. I work in data pipelines for accounting and our logic is specific to our accounting processes.

I think some industries like video games should absolutely do it though, where the turn-around time on products is much faster. The main objection is that it just helps competition (and asset-swap scammers, etc.) but I think that’s missing the bigger picture of more tooling and assets helping to grow the industry and labour pool as a whole.

I won’t go back. This is the final step in a long journey of enshittification - the Conde Nast sale, proliferation of power mods, the new UI redesign, subreddit ban waves, the Ellen Pao and Aimee Knight incidents etc.

It’s not even the first issue - remember when they hired and defended that British paedophile too - even when he was covering up news stories about his own family?
