Thank you. You just made my day.

Yeah I've not looked into that before, but I'll check it out. I just want to keep the flexibility of the Deck: scoop it out of the TV and hop on the train. If I then have to go through a painful process of switching from family mode to "just let me play my games" mode, I'll still probably be annoyed, but I'll give it a try.
Yeah I've recently started tinkering with GOG in part due to this issue. I'm using Lutris in Linux rather than Heroic. I'm not sure if there's a benefit to one over the other, but either way the size of the library of available games is quite small by comparison and of course I have lots of games trapped in Steam now.
Thanks, I'll look into that.
Absolutely. This is less a criticism of the Deck (which I love) and more about my own coming up against this annoying DRM that I never even knew existed because I only had one place to play.
He will probably try to find a way to grant the NDP official party status, even though they came well short of earning it in the election. And he might yet make some changes that give parliamentarians — including the ones on the opposition benches — the ability to question witnesses, propose legislation, and otherwise better interrogate the issues of the day and the government’s handling of them.
I know we're in the honeymoon period of new leadership, but there's no evidence for any of this. Fawcett is just projecting what he'd like Carney to do and this article is mostly just gushing over our new PM rather than an attempt at ensuring that we're supplied with any factual information. I expected better from the Observer.
This sounds pretty significant, but significant claims require significant evidence. I'd like to see some links or something about this.
There seems to be a degree of confidence here that they wouldn't choose to leave. Don't be so sure. BC and Saskatchewan may vary a bit politically, but Alberta (with the exception of the two urban centres) has pretty much solidly been in the camp of "fuck the rest of the country, we got ours" for as far back as I can remember... and I'm 46.
4 weeks is still not on par with other civilised countries. Living here in the UK now, 5 weeks is standard. When I was in the Netherlands I was getting six.
The version of Firefox that ships with Debian is quite old if I recall. You might want to try installing it either as a flatpak or as a separate apt repo from Mozilla directly to see if that solves it.
I mean, you can buy it and use it in a general purpose fashion, and yeah, those cores would do wonders for all sorts of compiles. Also, it can be useful if you're like me and do a lot of Dockerised development. Given that most games are x86 only though, sadly this would be no good :-(
It's funny, I flocked to Steam because I was under the impression that I was owning the games. While other companies were trying to get me to sign onto their "play everything" subscriptions and Google had their "Stadia" (remember them?), Steam let me download the game and install it on my (Linux!) computer with no license key checks, working offline etc. etc. I feel like the assumption that I was in fact buying my games, rather than a license to play them when Steam saw fit was a reasonable one. This discovery was quite enraging.
