I was talking about the custom profiles with Steam Input layout created by the community. Not sure if any game has this by default made by the game developers. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/steam_controller/browse_configs (the link talks about the Steam Controller, but the concept is the same on Steam Deck)

Steam itself has remapping functionality to extend any gamepad with customization. You can remap (and much more than just rempap) all keys and elements of a gamepad through the Steam Controller setup. People have uploaded their configurations, so you can download them. But this extended custom functionality is only for Steam.

I don’t care about rumble vibration, but the missing trackpads is huge. The trackpads from the Steam Deck are game changing. At least one would be good to have, so I can program it with additional functionalities or custom menus in Steam. I probably still end up buying it to replace the Xbox Series S controller, as the Hori has gyro integrated, has touch sensors on the sticks and has back pedals.

My hope is, this controller will be sold through Steam, as it is officially licensed.

“I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Rus/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Russian Federation plus GNU plus Linux minus Linus.”

Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.

Also for people its often an embarrassment to ask certain questions, because they think its a stupid question. In a forum, everyone can see it and comeback years later (which is a good thing btw, but for some embarrassing). A chat is forgets much quicker and better.

I think asking niche questions in a forum is very helpful too, otherwise you will only find common questions. Actually the niche questions answered and maybe corrected over time is very useful in forums. Because in a chat often niche questions requires the right person to be in the right group at the right time.

Especially Discord is bad, because it cannot be indexed by web search engines. And the entire structure is not really good for long term, compared to dedicated posts in forums.

I don’t think I make it to 2080, but otherwise agreed. :D

Plans change and evolve. After the experiments looked good, more and more people got interested. Maybe the one guy who was successfull with previous hardware got involved and they started to see something bigger than anticipated. Its an organic growth. I mean I don’t have any internal knowledge or anything, just trying to think how it could have went.

You would be surprised how much companies experiment behind the scenes, that you never see. Prototypes aren’t actually the most expensive thing, so its totally doable, especially if you have lot of engineers hyped for that. Given that the teams at Valve produced hardware before, its only normal to get money for new experiments. Also the structure at Valve is a bit different than most companies.

That’s me. Also it was based on Linux, so its not a waste of hardware, because I know a Linux operating system works well with it. I wasn’t even expecting it to play new AAA games developed for the newest console generations.

• Modified files in /etc are now migrated to new OS versions based on a whitelist
• Additional whitelist entries can be added via config fragments
• Up to five previous snaphots of /etc modifications will additionally be retained in /var/lib/steamos-atomupd/etc_backup/

Now, this is an interesting feature! Reminds me a bit of NixOS inspired.

C++ innovates often first and adapts it into mainstream. And its kind of a swiss-army knife. You don’t need to use and learn everything, just pick what you need. Unless you need to get into an old existing code base…

Just an idea: The language could be divided into multiple standard levels, where each level has more features and functionality. It would be essentially a “restricted”, “standard” and “full” version of the language, where full is basically what it is now and the others are constrained versions with less functionality (no multiple inheritance and what not rules). But at this point, if you don’t use the language in its full, why bother with it at all? Just thinking a bit…

Rust: The Phantom Menace

Actually this makes sense. Because Steam Deck has its own operating system SteamOS 3. You can have an operating system that does not run well on a machine or are problematic, maybe through or before updates. Steam and Steam Deck (the OS) gets updates on its own. So rating the experience might look funny, but makes actually sense.

I knew it! I always had this gut feeling that a byte has 8 bits. /s

If the domain .io ever gets unusable, then all it needs for Rust / creates.io is to change the respository setting in the configuration of your project to point to new location. Maybe this could be done automatically through an update of Rust tools. It will probably cause headache for automated build systems and for newcomers, but overall its not as bad of an issue as it looks like, I think.

But I agree on that it wasn’t a good idea to use .io and .rs as their backbone. It should have been .com or .org in example, where you know wouldn’t go away ever. Not a fan of country level domains for important projects.

I’m not a C programmer, but looking at the changes and improvements, there are lot of good advancements I would not want to miss out on: C11 (C17 just fixes a few little issues from C11) > C23

Stuff like Multi-threading support, Improved Unicode support, Add memccpy() and whats so bad about Various syntax changes improve compatibility with C++? C doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If you don’t want learn the new changes or do not want rely on it because of compatibility reasons, I can understand. But why would you not use newer C versions, if there is no compatibility with older version “required”?
