Yeah but with Steam Deck you’re not forced to use it. It’s an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.

No, it’s great. It means you can make it do anything. You misconstrue my meaning.

You don’t even have it game on it if you don’t want to. Use it as a server 😂

Other portable console makers: proprietary shit, locked down OSes, DRM embedded in the device at boot, custom/strange architectural choices, walled gardens

Valve: eh, put a fuckin’ normal ass gaming PC in a tiny box with joysticks and call it a day.

Exactly, that means it hasn’t infected my entire system and is constantly connected and phoning home about my computer usage and browsing habits all day. I can just play Skifree and Minesweeper and not worry about a damn thing.

It’s hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I’m sure there’s more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.

Windows 3.11 that is. The last pure Windows there was.

I mean it’s also socialist, with how it’s developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It’s one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.

Debian isn’t a meme but it’s a good thing that you now have a lot of work to do.

“We aren’t a monopoly because we don’t just control web search, we also control all this other tech…”

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Beer, is in fact, GNU/Beer, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Beer. Beer is not an alcoholic drink unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU hops, rye, and fermentation process comprising a full libation as defined by POSIX.

I don’t weigh 600 pounds nor do I have a beard so that can only mean one thing…

So do something about it instead of expecting the rest of us to. Devs are people just like you. They have lives and real jobs.

What is your solution?

Did you forget the part where everybody is getting it for free and devs aren’t getting paid to do this shit? If you want your hand held, use Windows or MacOS.

Next up: we train rats to only prefer blue bubbles.

First person to come up with a time machine, can you make your first trip back to the early 80s and buy 86-DOS and open source it before Bill gets his grubby hands on it?

I can bet the Emacs/Vim war has been raging for longer than you have been alive.

Telnet directly to web server and manually type all the GET/POST requests yourself. Then read raw HTML.

Well…that was mean…I tried it on my account.
