jonny_eh··on Baldur's Gate 3 Steam Deck – Native Version
I started playing Silksong on my Steam Deck using the linux build. Only to discover that it maxed out at 720p (docked), and wouldn't bind right/left trigger for my controller. Enabling proton (to play the windows build) worked great. Controller worked flawlessly and the game ran smoothly at 1080p.
jonny_eh··on Find SF parking cops
They gave me a $50 discount on the ~$600 fee for getting towed in SF due to it being a first time violation. Not quite free, but I'll take it?

It would have saved me $600 two weeks ago.
jonny_eh··on Shopify, pulling strings at Ruby Central, forces Bundler and RubyGems takeover
That sounds more like "unfair" or "theft", not malice. Malice implies some kind of intent to harm or injure.

Probably a good time to tell people that SF operates a "Text Before Tow Program" where you can get a warning that you're about to get towed: https://www.sfmta.com/text-tow-program

jonny_eh··on Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?
In 2025 it basically means you're likely a bot/scammer. LinkedIn provides the social proof that at least you're a real person, with real business connections. It's sadly not optional.
jonny_eh··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
That'll certainly make transfers much harder to get.
jonny_eh··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
Would they now have to also pay the $1k fee for a "transfer"? AFAIK, it's considered a new application, but as you stated, its excluded from the quota/lottery.

Those turn offs for specific terminals are very small and easy to miss.

They googled or generated a video with "sad workers making phones"?

Both?
jonny_eh··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
It's not React's fault that people either don't know what they're doing, or don't care enough to make their software performant. This is not a new phenomenon, bad/rushed software has always existed.
jonny_eh··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
