I take my shitposts very seriously.
From a purely profit-oriented perspective, no. They’re setting up a pretext to eliminate the lifetime license plan due to a lack of interest. No sane person would pay that kind of lump sum for the service (and the insane ones will bring in triple the revenue), so they’ll claim that there is no market for it. After that, they’re free to crank up the periodic subscription prices.
Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by profiteering opportunism.
Nobody knows the final retail price. Probably not even Valve. Educated guesses are in the 600-1200 USD range. Valve have already said that it wouldn’t be a loss leader, and that they’d made painful sacrifices to ensure an affordable price.
Fortunately for you, Scotland exists
Today I had to build and install an application using Crates. It recursively pulled 700 other packages and gave me a gut feeling comparable to testicular torsion. I don’t care how paranoid the community is, it only takes one careless maintainer to node-ipc or left-pad an entire dependency tree.
They were shipped into the US from Hong Kong according to a cargo manifest from the 4th of April, so probably manufactured (or at least assembled) in East Asia.
You can force-flash the firmware from developer mode: https://lemmy.world/post/46802249
If the process fails, try another USB cable.
Get in the timeout box.
XDG Desktop files are a mostly standardized way to integrate individual programs into the desktop. For example, a desktop file in /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications can add programs to the application launcher, both desktop launcher menus and separate apps like dmenu-run; or they can be used to start applications when the desktop session starts by placing them in ~/.config/autostart.
Desktop files can also set properties related to an application. In this particular case, the MimeType field tells the desktop session what MIME types should be associated with the application. For example, my desktop file for Blender associates the application/x-blender MIME type with it, which causes Blender to show up in the Open with… dialog.
The MimeType field is a semicolon-separated list. One desktop file can define multiple associated MIME types for the same application. Krita instead creates a separate file for each association.
Holy FUCK, I’m going to use that so much.
I managed to fix it by forcing a firmware update in Steam’s developer mode, I’ve updated the post with details.

There is, and it worked perfectly. Updated the post.
If I have to install Windows on a machine (mostly work-related), I always use Chris Titus’ WinUtil to strip out the garbage bits and delay or completely stop updates. It’s basically a GUI wrapper around various Powershell commands.
You grossly overestimate the number of people who are both willing and able to deploy, secure, manage, and maintain this kind of infrastructure. You may not find any value in offloading these responsibilities to a service provider operated by trained professionals, but your outright refusal to acknowledge that other people might is nothing short of callous.
Not having to configure a separate utility is part of the user-friendliness
edit: this is way funnier with the original title: Your containers are leaking (and how to plug the holes)
Suckless shampoo is just a bucket of wood ash and pork tallow.
Lots of red flags if you take a peek at the developer’s account. https://bsky.app/profile/getamouraapp.bsky.social/post/3mknta2ejrv2q/quotes
Since guns are handed out in America like chocolate at a Willy Wonka publicity and outreach campaign, every law enforcement agency has to be kitted out to potentially combat a barricaded suspect who can rain a small militia’s worth of lead on them and their surroundings. That’s why the response team often includes armored vehicles, snipers, and crayon munchers armed to the tits. And because abusing emergency services doesn’t cut into the profit of any big corporations, there are no effective means to seek justice against the offenders.
