If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn't we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

Speaking of unhelpful, eurogamer.net is littered with ads. They add no value to the original Reddit post (https://old.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1emb4ch/valve_is_finally_addressing_bad_reviews_issue/).

Just hold off for now. They might take your money, shut it down, and mandate that you buy "Industrial Annihilation: Titans" for an extra $15.

Things that contain six pairs also contain two pairs. :P

You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I'd recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.

I've given thought to this one as a vegan in the game industry. It's strange. I'm happy to play games like Cyberpunk and murder just about everyone in my way. But when it comes to cozy games, there's something discordant about the "build a happy little farm" vibe and "kill all the fish you want". It just doesn't match the fantasy cottagecore games are selling for me. :shrug:

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I'm surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!

I have a Switch but have bought maybe 3 games for it tops. Where Steam has user reviews, a super simple refund policy, and frequent deep discounts, Nintendo's purchasing experience is clearly lacking in a customer-friendly approach.

Anyone asking for recommendations for their next gaming device, it's Steam Deck every time.

I'm new to Summit, but not new to Lemmy. In other clients, I've subscribed to several clusters of communities. I'd love to be able to group them into multi-communities in Summit.

Desired behaviour: That the "Create Multi Community" page show you communities you've subscribed to that aren't yet in any multi community.

Desired behaviour: That searching for communities in the "Create Multi Community page" indicate which of the search results you're already subscribed to.

Ended up with a felt version of John Carpenter's Thing.

Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

Sadly, this doesn't even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.

In some cases, PRs that have no merge conflicts can sit and languish for months on end. Example: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/8914. I'm not suggesting cavalierly accepting all PRs, but the devs could do a better job of communicating with prospective contributors. My desire to contribute to Jellyfin was somewhat dampened by that initial experience.

Edit: To be more constructive, I'd recommend not just a call to action (the blog post), but explicitly reaching out to devs who submitted their first PRs within the past year and finding out what their experiences were. Discovering a leaky onboarding process that you lose potential devs through could be instrumental!

When picking avacados to buy, aim for the ones that are longer than they are round. If it's as round as an orange, you're going to get this kind of all-pit bullshit.
