Perhaps of interest? I don’t know how many bots you’re facing.

I feel you are a bit out of touch when the topic is specifically enshittification and that it is based on the history of companies turning against their users, showing little good faith. It is also not something which is sparing open source projects (remember bitwarden’s attempt?). So sure, I’m not going to deny that I’m making assumptions and that I am concerned it may one day happen. But it is grounded in reality, not some tinfoil hat stuff.

Edit: and the fact that bitwarden did not eventually go through with it does not counter the fact that they intended to and tried. Sometimes companies back off and play the long game and try to be more subtle about it.

1. Tailscale has an employee who is contributing to headscale. I think this is helpful and they could decide to stop this collaboration the moment they feel it is counter productive.
2. they may decide to start adding undocumented/proprietary/“secure” elements which prevent headscale from working.

There is no guarantee headscale can keep working the way it does or that it is allowed to keep existing.

Edit: FYI headscale is not at all at feature parity with what tailscale offers.

What are their respective market shares compared to steam? Is it comparable? If it’s not, maybe they’re missing the leverage to try what Valve is attempting. But also, and likely, this is a costly long term development process.

It’s not only goodwill, it’s a survival tactic for valve. The worst case scenario for them, is see microsoft expand their monopoly to have all apps and software available only through their Microsoft app store, competing directly with valve, with the unfair advantage of microsoft controlling both windows and the app store. They could (and probably have) tried to get to where apple is with its app store on macos/ios. Though of course this would be an anticompetitive move, but the intentions could still exist making valves life difficult.

The moment they can untie gaming from windows, they have a path forward to keeping themselves not only alive but relevant and probably safe.

Congrats! Amazing project, exciting interface and you went the extra mile on the integration side with third parties. Kudos!

Edit: I’ll definitely have to try it out!

Perhaps give Ramalama a try?

Indeed, Ollama is going a shady route. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomment-2599740463

I started playing with Ramalama (the name is a mouthful) and it works great. There is one or two more steps in the setup but I’ve achieved great performance and the project is making good use of standards (OCI, jinja, unmodified llama.cpp, from what I understand).

Go and check it out, they are compatible with models from HF and Ollama too.

Great to see transparent information about framerates distinguishing AI frames from original frames.

One question is, how should one understand the GPU vram usage, when it is reported as 16/15.6 GB?

Oh yes the 2.0 was also great! They added the rewind feature which is pretty cool.

Both of them can work on the steam deck, though they don’t out of the box.

For dirt you have to add a launch option WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=4

And for dirt 2 you need to add a fix for Xbox live.

You’re a gem of a contributor, love the style and content and thank you for making this specifically for Lemmy, much appreciated! :)

Edit: and regarding what I’m playing lately, I’m playing Colin McRae Dirt from 2007 which I recently managed to get working on the steam deck. A fun racing game!

What issues do you encounter when you say they “don’t work right”?

How reliable is sleep? Does it actually go to sleep? Is the battery drain in sleep acceptable? Does it come out of sleep without issue? Is it fast to go to sleep and resume from sleep?

My experience with the steam deck has been absolutely stellar regarding sleep, to the point is has been a game changer. So fast to pick up for a quick game and put back to sleep even if playing just for a minute. It’s reliable and the battery drain is acceptable maybe (roughly 10% per 24h but didn’t measure it explicitly).

I find this to be great and am particularly comforted by the following:

Can my SteamOS Compatibility test results be worse than Deck Verified?
No. SteamOS Compatibility results will all be the same or higher than Steam Deck Verified results.

If it were throttling, you would see reduced clock speeds and/or reduced power. However, I’m not seeing any graphs for frequencies and power. Have you checked?

If you don’t know what tool to use you could check LACT: https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT

Funnily, my mind first made me consider pressure by Microsoft to raise the steam version cost to make it a less attractive proposition compared to the windows version, before realizing this was a tariff reaction. Goes to show how I imagine Microsoft’s powers and intentions in my mind :)

I will always remember my first experience using MacOS: I am comfortable with computers and a relative needed help with their recently purchased macbook. I had plugged in a USB stick to transfer some files and was done and wanted to eject it. I spent way too much time than I care to admit, trying all possible options, right-clicks, settings, everything imaginable, to eject the damn thing.

It was impossible to me to find the simplest operation with a USB stick, something required to operate it. I capitulated and looked online. The solution? I had to drag and drop the USB stick icon into the trashcan!?!?!?

To this day, I will never understand the absolute ridicule of this and I will never comprehend how anyone is expected to figure it out on their own. And this is from the OS touted as the most user friendly and intuitive. Go figure.

Edit: this was a long while back, no idea how it is nowadays.

Don’t give them ideas!

Sorry didn’t mean to sound condescending, but capacitors can indeed output their charge at extremely high rates but have terrible energy storage capacity. You would need an unreasonably large capacitor bank, but it is technically feasible as that’s what the CERN has. But in this case batteries are a more suitable option, they can be tuned between energy and power to fit the exact use case more appropriately.

Capacitors, lol
