Seeing this video circulate again, I wanted to give some reasoning to why it isn't out. Steam Frame shifted our plans in a big way for 2026, and we wanted to allocate our engineers (myself included) differently as soon as it was announced. (1/2)

Eyebrow tracking, eye wide tracking, and squint tracking coming soon to a baballonia near you!

Bigger News: The First Official Proton for ARM devices (like Steam Frame) app is now also released!
Brad Lynch@SadlyItsBradley
Oh hey, Proton 11 Beta is releasing on Steam If you’ve been reading all the articles about how Wine 11 was giving huge performance gains (for Windows to Linux gaming), those improvements are now being brought into Valve’s fork

Fed Chairman Powell is talking about the oil supply shock. He knows it will affect the prices of everything made from oil or distributed with energy. I.e. everything.
He knows the mainstream theory: prices rise because too much money is chasing the goods. So the prescribed cure is to hike the interest rate, to reduce the money supply (or at least its growth).
At some level, he has to know that the oil shock will already damage the economy. And hiking will make it worse.
So what does he say?
“The tendency is to look through any kind of a supply shock ... But a critical, essential aspect of that is you have to carefully monitor inflation expectations.”
In other words, his central plan is supposed to factor in--what people think the effect of his central plan will be!
It's turtles all the way down.

The people in the comments wondering WHO do they owe the debt to miss a more fundamental point. WHAT debt do they owe? If it is merely Federal reserve notes and nothing more, then there is of course nothing to worry about, they can be printed easily to cover an infinite debt.
But the federal reserve note, to this very day, is a note for $42.22 per oz. of gold, so if that is the measure, then the US debt is 30,000,000 Tons of gold, against which 8,300 tons 'exist' in Fort Knox. So if we actually owe gold, and not just notes, then this level of debt is catastrophic.

Lmao Gabe Newell when faced with an employee with cancer changed their employed status to “get better” and kept them at full salary the entire ordeal and paid out the insurance.
Tim Sweeney@TimSweeneyEpic
@BackersGamesF Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance.

@fireobserver32 @KeyTryer If you make correct decisions the outcome is conducive to human flourishing, regardless of which seat you occupy.
Our governance structure is operating on the same economic model as was operational decades before the french revolution in the 1700s.

We have a bunch of degenerate losers who get mad at you for reminding them the government can just do things. Its all built on Ayan rand giga cope by the same people whose anti govt positions sabotage the govt into not being able to do things.
We could build high speed rail we could have cheap well run universal healthcare we could have clean energy but nope morons just say “govt cant do things free market best.” Completely ignoring how pivotal the Tennessee valley authority was for industrialization and power grid modernization and the civilian conservation corp.

Replies to this are cope, but there's no point in arguing about this. It doesn't matter if you think that it's not true that the US has stagnated, because that's what tech CEOs are telling each other while things are so bad that a dude went out there to shoot a healthcare CEO.
Key 🗝 🦊@KeyTryer
The real reason for this has to do with a 20-year economic miracle and tangible benefits from technological advancement and industrialization in China, whereas the US has largely materially stagnated despite technological growth. But Americans don't like to confront that.

2 fun facts: the Finns built a nuclear reactor that made power so cheap they had to throttle it. Also, before the Haber-Bosch process, the first fertilizers were produced by running an electrical arc through the air to split nitrogen at a 5-10% efficiency.
Just random thoughts.
Suomalaiset kenraalit@KenraalitSuomi
Minister of Finance Riikka Purra sent a grim message to Finns today. The prices of fuel and food will increase significantly. Misery and poverty will rise dramatically in Finland. The worst depression in Finland’s history is just around the corner.

@SafeForWhanos Oh whoops wrong link

@SafeForWhanos Just join LVRA, I run the joint, you can play VRChat on linux with userspace EAC, FOSS runtimes and FOSS software
You don't need SteamVR at all to play.
lvra.gitlab.io/community
We've yet to have anybody play with the userspace VM sigs though for linux VM on linux...
English
@SafeForWhanos It actually is partially containerized with pressure vessel, if you flatpak your steam it gets very tight as far as access.
Can add sandboxes and there's an env to restrict filesystem reach into home of the target application too.
Maany more options here when you're not ring 0

@BabbleBones i much prefer the containerisation of EAC away from my host, but i do appreciate the efforts made to linux-only vr

@josethevrtech I look at people who use clients where you can just use openssh like people in idiocracy ask 'water, you mean like from the toilet?'

I haven’t used PuTTY in like 20 years lol
XDA@xdadevelopers
I replaced PuTTY with a modern SSH client and managing my servers has never felt this smooth bit.ly/4rrbdte
