The Steam Deck works really well, I've had no issue with it whatsoever. I fail to see how it's comparable to a niche product like the PlayDate.

But this lacks a nice and clean UI to watch Youtube, Netflix, etc. I wouldn't want to control a browser displayed on a TV with a wireless keyboard.

There are two letters currently being signed by people either for or against the removal of RMS from the FSF.

The against letter is here : https://github.com/rms-support-letter/rms-support-letter.git...

And the for is here : https://github.com/rms-open-letter/rms-open-letter.github.io

You can find the number of votes on the respective websites for each letter or by checking the number of merged pull requests.

You could also use [Protontricks](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks) as such :

  protontricks -s <search_term>

and it will return anything that matches the search query with its appid like :

  Found the following games:
  Grand Theft Auto V (271590)

It's great indeed and it's advancing quickly. I hope it'll reach 100% coverage at some point but I don't know whether that's achievable.

I guess you can code without auto-complete but that would mean having to check the documentation at every step instead of having it auto-completed on the go. Depends what people prefer, for me it's a step back.

One thing I'm missing in all these languages is 100% auto-completion like the one you have in Java or C#. I have yet to experience a single instance of Intellij not being able to auto-complete something or not do it completely.

I know Nim and Rust have good VS Code plugins that do that to some extent but it is not something I can rely upon.

Maybe I'm just spoiled.

There is history delivery on first connect on Matrix whenever I set-up a new device.

I don't think XMPP has any future. It's a hassle to set-up and I have yet to see a really modern looking client. Blabber does not fit that at all.

When you open a new tab, it is right above the search bar.

Well, one of the banking app that I use is really well done (the other one is garbage), it makes my life really easier and has QR code payments included which is how I pay everything online in my country (Belgium) instead of having to use the card reader and it's also how I reimburse my friends if I owe them money.

And it has NFC payments that does not use Google Pay which is also nice.

In this case, the app has its own keypad when logging in so I'm not sure what the added value is security-wise.

I'm just not able to launch the app while an F-Droid keyboard is set as default which is just annoying. There's many keyboards on the Play Store that I wouldn't trust to install and use.

Fun fact, one of my banking app prevents me from launching it if I do not use a "certified" keyboard app. I had bad luck with any keyboard from F-Droid.

In my experience, the predictions were atrocious and not very smart, at least in French. It also couldn't detect words that had personal pronouns or determiners with an apostrophe, I had to type the apostrophe manually which is a no-go for me.

And it does not support having multiple languages at once which is incredibly inconvenient when you frequently have to switch between 4 languages when typing and when you often mix some of them.

But if you type without the autocorrect and the predictions, it can be great, I guess.

Except Pi-Hole has some serious limitations as it only acts as a DNS server.

I haven't been able to block Youtube ads on my tv for example.

That is actually Beethoven's Für Elise, not Mozart.

Well, I never said I was concerned with security. I am to some extent but not to the point where I inspect every single update.

What I value most is having every software or library available through some form of package manager. Downloading static binaries off the internet without auto-update just doesn't make it which is why I like having Flatpak as a fallback.

It also makes it easier for the common user to have every piece of software available through one store. They don't need to know whether it's a .deb or a Flatpak underneath, it just needs to be there and work reasonably well.

There's really no other option: either distro maintainers include every single piece of software in the repositories (unlikely), or we need a common format that works on all distros (already the case with Flatpak).

You still need to distribute the static executables and there's no way to update them besides downloading them again unless the software has some auto-updater built-in. That definitely doesn't solve the issue.

That's the thing. Not every package is available on every distribution.

Snap/Flatpak were meant to solve that issue.

Edit: There's also the fact that practically most packages on Ubuntu or Debian, for example, are outdated.

Just a heads up, you can actually use !m or !gm to access Google Maps directly.

There's also !osm for OpenStreetMaps.

There are no web clients for Murmur that supports voice to my knowledge. What makes you think it will be possible to integrate both?

I do not use Discord but I'm under the impression that it has voice channels like Mumble and Teamspeak whereas Matrix does not (yet) have them. This is a big deal-breaker for many teams and I'm definitely waiting until it has that feature before I deploy my own server.

For a chat-only replacement, it's definitely perfect.

There is plenty of things that can make your life easier on Github/Gitlab, especially when working in a team:

- Issue tracker

- Merge requests that are easy to analyze

- Ability to put comments during a code review on specific lines of code and discuss it from there

- Embedded wiki for a project

- Managing different access rights to different repos

I couldn't see myself using pure git without any additional tooling for anything more that personal projects that I work on alone.

They are currently on Phabricator if I'm not mistaken.

https://phabricator.kde.org/

While it has plenty of features, it's not as user-friendly to use as Github or Gitlab. It can also be confusing at times.

I'm glad they're moving to Gitlab and I hope it'll bring some new contributors.

We still have data caps in Belgium. One of the most popular ISP has lower tier internet subscriptions which have a 150GB and 200GB data cap per month.

Even though most are "unlimited" nowadays, they're still under a fair usage policy which means that if you download too much (usually 1TB+), you will get a call to explain why you download so much or you'll have your internet speed reduced.

Only the northern part of Belgium though (Flanders). The rest of the country has quite poor infrastructure for cycling, especially when compared to the Netherlands.

I would love to cycle to work in Brussels but I do not feel comfortable doing so.

Paradox games are notoriously difficult. I remember, when I bought Europa Universalis 4, I went through 6-7 hours of tutorials on YouTube only to get started. It's still really difficult and I don't understand everything.

Vulkan is on the roadmap for 4.0 which should arrive in approximately one year.

As for languages, you could try https://github.com/touilleMan/godot-python Godot makes it easy to write modules in various different languages such as Rust, D, C++, etc.

You can only use the Protonmail mobile app.

Or just !s :)

On the other hand, the $300,000 bounty for cracking Telegram encryption has yet to be claimed.
