Who domesticated who

Cats are only considered partially domesticated, and they basically domesticated themselves. They naturally decided to live near human settlements to prey on mice/etc that went after people's grain.

In comparison, dogs are conaidered fully domesticated, and we're domesticated by humans.

Are you honestly telling me you wouldn't buy a Temple OS handheld?

Valve has a larger goal though of making Linux a viable alternative to Windows for gamers. The whole reason valve has made some much effort on Linux gaming is because Microsoft scared them when Microsoft started making plans to block software installs from anywhere except the Microsoft store.

Microsoft has backed off from that plan some since, but many new new computers running windows are in "s mode" by default which limits software to Microsoft store only. It can be disabled if you have administrator privileges and know how, but it's still an example of Microsoft trying to shift towards a future where all PC games have to be bought through their store.

This is also why steam jumped at the chance to work with Google on getting steam on Chrome OS.

It's a mix I believe, they do press down into the device some, but the "click" feedback is from haptics.

Here's a photo of the touchpads, you can see that the mount points have a flexible frame to let you press it down. Edit: finally got OP's pictures to load, and he has a different style of track pad mounts. I'm not sure the details, but I know that both track pads on my OLED deck do press down some.

I would definitely consider Bazzite as a good upgrade for those devices, but until Asus fixes their warranty issue, hardware issues, and adds track pads, I'm not really interested in their hardware.

I really appreciate knowing that valve will fix any issues that come up.

This kind of thing is funniest when you imagine the guy driving home and being completely bewildered about why he's on a billboard.

I read a similar story recently about a guy targeting his roommate with highly specific Facebook ads, let me.see if I can find it.

Edit: Here it is, it's a fun read

Is this in game mode or in desktop mode? Either way, have you tried setting a control profile for it that will let you do keyboard inputs through the dpad/buttons?

Someone else may have already uploaded a profile set up for it as well.

There are some very vocal people who will tell you that proton is just a stopgap measure, and shouldn't be relied on for the future of Linux gaming.

That said, I know the devs have been putting in effort/patches to make sure the proton/steam deck experience works well, and I consider that just as good. All I really want from devs is actual support of the Linux platform, and if they choose to do that through a tool like proton I'm ok with it.

It's very unfortunate for Mac users though.

Both characters get a lot of memes/attention in these kind of communities, so they're expected to be well known if you've been otherwise active here (or in any anime group).

For example, I haven't watched either show, but I know that the green haired girl is Übel from Frieren and the wolf girl is Horo from Spice & Wolf.

Ok, so this is a Lemmy post that links a r/ailess post that links a r/privacy post that finally links this Ars Technica article.

Why not just link the Ars Technica article to begin with? I don't think there's any good reason to link all these separate chained discussions.

Ones like this were really easy to win. You drop the nickel or quarter* straight onto the second to last platform. A quick twist will usually work, but if you don't mind dirty looks from the employees you could tap on the side of the top twist knob to "nudge" the coin. This is easy to control and makes it trivial to win, but takes a little time and makes an annoying rattling sound.

*My experience is that dimes are too light weight, which makes them very unreliable for winning consistently.

Nah, the water ones had a lot of random chance, the non water ones could be won 75% of the time.
