So not much of interest, at least for me. Stability, UI.

”What’s actually changed? Frankly, there’s too many individual improvements to list. But some quick highlights:

For users it should provide a more stable experience overall. There’s better error handling, more in-depth progress notifications for Decky and plugins. Along with Decky being properly usable without an internet connection. There’s also various UI styling improvements. You should also hopefully never see the boot-loop problem again with some recent changes.”

TIL!

Perhaps I should pretend I have a piece of Nokia cell network equipment. I still don’t know anyone else with one.

Oh, oops. Guess it’s clear I didn’t read the article!

I have to wonder why this comment would be downvoted. It’s because I mentioned the T word isn’t it. Sigh.

If this topic is your bag, I’m guessing you’ve also read Jeffrey Lewis’s book on the topic: https://www.armscontrolwonk.com/books/

A great read, if very slightly outdated. Could still represent a possible future if Trump returns to power, or perhaps even if he doesn’t. Either way, Arms Control Wonk podcast is an entertaining and informative listen for anyone remotely interested in this topic.

Guess I’m having lots of good runs then :/

My Steam Deck has been quite crashy with Halls of Torment. Wondering if the new firmware might help. No idea of how long, or whether this kind of firmware update will eventually get pushed by Valve out to Stream decks in a stable version update. Should I wait or god forbid try to learn how to do the update myself prior?

Article says due to bad weather. Supreme Leader says won’t impact running of country.

Stephen Donaldson’s Gap series. Fair warning though, the first (short) book is very confronting.

Ministry for the Future. So good, so painful.
