Welp. It's official at work so might as well say it here:

I'm gonna do Linux stuff for a living!

@killyourfm I want to yell "The Year of Linux Gaming is upon us at long last" so hard.

@mekkaokereke @james the fact that I've wanted a way to subscribe to blocklists on Mastodon as a kind of "web of trust" feature that would be EASIEST to do with ActivityPub since

y'know

publishing payloads is KIND OF THE THING

and BlueSky just like does that from the jump...

It's baffling to me. That Mastodon has resisted this kind of idea for this long, I mean.

@mekkaokereke so basically.

I MISSED THE PUNCHLINE AND NOW I AM ONE.

Seems like I missed the sarcasm tag. My bad on that.

WAS:
"Don't work to get the woman elected, it's not worth your time."

But if she's not elected, the USA goes to shit.

So many words to hide the true intent.

@killyourfm let me guess.

Strix Point benchmarks? :D

@killyourfm July 2-3-4 is clearly dancing with the 40s.

I'm staying tf inside.

@killyourfm San Jose's forecast is barely better tbh

@killyourfm @akhenaton I kind of missed the mark on that one 'cause I assumed VALVe did their homework on GPU-accelerated encoding and dumping on Windows. That one's on me.

Unless this is recording on Linux via Chimera/Bazzite/etc, in which case, wot.

@killyourfm I was gonna yell at the iGPU but then I realized that if Steam used the iGPU for encoding and the dGPU for rendering, there would *literally not be a performance delta*.

Beyond that, scaling up 720p to native-res should NOT take that much processing power.

Beyond deck-specific optimizations (SteamDeck=1 environment variable anyone?), seeing as the GPU in that laptop is LITERALLY 5 TIMES THE MUSCLE, *and* has dedicated memory, this shit is beyond me.

@killyourfm I mean, to be fair, not only do you hella crank up the resolution AND refresh rate so the render needs to be more beefy

but the codec itself *also* has to record at that scale.

37% perf hit is NUTS though.

The hoops through which I need to jump to sign into my addons mozilla.org account in Thunderbird are UNREAL.

* Need ThunderWebTabs
* Need to open the addons page in thunderbird
* Then need to copy the sign in LINK and not click it
* Then I need to open that link VIA THUNDERWEBTABS

And only THEN does Thunderbird allow me to be signed into the extensions site.

@killyourfm you still at the Moz?

@GossiTheDog "technology falls to the dick-measuring contest of two teenagers" is a time-honored tradition at this point.

@cwebber so let me get this straight.

* Synapse and Dendrite pre-date the Matrix Foundation
* Matrix devs *created* Element
* Matrix devs *bestowed* Synapse and Dendrite to the Matrix Foundation
* Element is now forking Synapse and Dendrite for... reasons?

Does this make any sort of sense or is someone at Element pissed they don't have 150% of the decision power?

Or am I reading too much into this.

@georgetakei my reply would have been "We're doing this BECAUSE we know who you are."

So imagine... A Steam OS Device program. If an ODM would:

* Use a standardized AMD Zx Series chip
* Have one Xbox-360 controller device registering into the OS via on-board USB
* MUST ALSO have a Touchscreen
* Have at LEAST X hours of battery life (can run Half-Life 2 at max spec for 5 hours?)
* Have either "at LEAST 720p" or "at most 1080p"
* Provide an exclusive SKU that is to run SteamOS (ODM can re-label the device with another name, but that SKU and branding would be Steam-exclusive)

->

Then VALVe would let them "use the SteamOS Devices Branding" and build a Steam Devices Ecosystem. Yes, it's basically the Steam Consoles all over again, but now that they've proven there:

* is a bloody market
* is a functioning market ripe for investment
* is an appetite for SteamOS

They are in a FAR BETTER PLACE than, uh, "last time".

@Sujiyan what the hellballs happenned?

cc @socrates1024 @darnell

Personal take on "The Fedi v @Sujiyan":

Honestly? I trust any "big" interests buying up "bigger" instances like mstdn.jp, mstdn.cloud and pawoo.net about as far as far as I can throw them.

THAT. BEING. SAID.

I can also understand that the former admins may have NEEDED to sell because the maintenance cost was snowballing.

So, I can only hope the "new owners" don't abuse their position. At the very least, Suji sounds receptive to criticism, instead of being a blusterous arsehat.

@syuilo ...that's almost vertical. Nice.
