> if their old steam OS version even integrated Proton properly back then.

"Proton" wasn't even a thing that existed back then :)
Hmm, At least on Mint there is no trickery to get Windows games running on Steam.

Install Steam, install game, play it. That is mostly it.

Very few games require some fiddling with Proton versions, but I reckon that the fiddling would be the same on SteamOS.
Windows version of the handheld will have 500gb more storage than SteamOS.

> I wonder if this means we’re going to see a TV/home console with Steam OS soon.

You can build one yourself pretty easily and just install Bazzite [1], basically SteamOS for generic PCs on it.

You can select "Do you want Steam Gaming Mode?" "Yes" on the download and it will automatically start into gamescope & Steam Big Picture Mode.

People really need to stop bringing this up. We've got billionaires mocking this guy. The OpenAI CEO tried to make an example of "haters" out of him.

This isn't right, "good sport" or not. It doesn't reflect well on this community.
The structure of your question implies that a ton of voters changed their minds between the Democrats and Republicans between the 2020 and 2024 election, and while it's probable that some did indeed do that, that didn't decide the election. In both of those elections the winner by a landslide was "I don't care." Trump received ballpark 3 million more votes in 2024 than he did in 2020, but that still only represents the will of about 23% of the country, and the Democrats 22% of the country. "I don't give a shit" wins in a landslide with 55%.

(Also that's strictly the popular vote numbers, and doesn't account for the electoral college wherein millions of votes in both directions meant nothing because either the population centers overruled the will of rural voters or failed to do so and was itself overruled by them but I digress)

The issue isn't people "changing to the dark side," the issue is how energized the voting bloc for each party is, and how important they feel voting for their candidate is. Trump, for reasons beyond my understanding, gets his voters fired up. I honestly can't fathom how anyone can listen to that man speak and think he should be in charge of a lemonade stand let alone a country, but they apparently do. Much ink has been spilled ruminating on why Harris couldn't get it done, and the top theories seem to boil down to a few things:

* The most obvious: she's a woman. We haven't yet had a female president, and I don't think it's possible to ignore the role sexism has played in getting Trump in power when both the elections he's won thus far were against women, separated by one he lost against Biden, who besides being a man, had little really to get people excited, apart from not being Trump. Though after 4 years of Trump, not being Trump was probably more attractive too.

* The second most obvious: inflation is fucking obliterating America right now, and regardless of why you think that might be, or how stupid you think the following logic is, it holds historically true that people hold the White House and the party that occupies it responsible for things like that. The fact that Trump's few declared policy ideas are virtually guaranteed to make the economy worse in numerous ways wasn't enough to sway people from that either, or they simply didn't think about it that far (see the google trends for a massive surge in searches about "what are tariffs" after election day)

* The third most obvious: Harris' campaign was pretty middling. She didn't win a proper primary to secure the nomination; it was basically announced in the 11th hour that Biden wasn't going to run for re-election and instead of the standard process to select a nominee, it was basically a hand-wave and suddenly Harris was the candidate. And like, I didn't hate her (and did vote for her) but I'll be the first to tell you her campaign was... aggressively mid. There was a huge swell of support when she was announced to be replacing Biden but that seemed to be less a "pro Harris" support as much as a "thank goodness it isn't Biden" support, and the latter just didn't have the staying power to sway people long term, or keep the base energized.
Ask HN: Personal photo organizer/sorting/deduplication project/app?
I have taken 10s of thousands of photos taken on my phone over the year; few of them are potentially duplicate because of backups and restore etc; few of them are not sorted correctly because maybe exif data is not correct or the photos app I am using isn't parsing exif date correctly.

I was wondering if someone knows of an app or open source project I can leverage for a task like this. I would prefer not having to upload the pictures to a random website.
"What do you mean personal computers will change the world? Time-sharing is way, WAY bigger than personal computers!"
Another season of tech bros ruin everything.

I worked in this industry. It used to move slow and consistent. Incremental progress or evolutionary improvent some used to call it. Wisdom borne from time and experience culminating in modules that ran on hundres of millions of cars, they to five years to finish but golly was it finished, no updates needed. They sold to every competitor, and even our own suppliers. Across the Atlantic and the pacific they scoffed at our POS cars, flimsy plastic trim, akward power trains. But, the beating heart of their cars ran our code.

Lots of grey beards, round tables, lecture rooms, the new kids like me squeezing into whatever room we could find to listen in. For some of these geezers their day job was just to investigate, educate, bring up the next generation. Some just sat around doing mostly nothing at all, schmoozig around the coffee machine, except when an exec or a new hire got a smart idea, skewer and stop them dead in the tracks, back to caf.
They used to brag about how refined their bom was and the lengths they went to test the foundation that we now stood upon.

The age of #innovation. New ceo, new board, new directors. We aren't a car company, we are mobility! We are SAFE, scrum, stories, velocity! 5 years? No! 1 year, or else. That's how the apples success don't ya know? Features! Bugs? Bugs don't have story points and we aren't in the business of shipping bugs so why are you talking about the last release? Why does your test bench cost $5mil, can't you do that with a raspberry pi and a beagle bone? Why do you have so many testers and QAs, this team we hired from the valley is gonna white the AI that can auto-test everything. Why are you paying so much to license this esoteric tool chain? O P E N S O U R C E buddy! The car is a phone ...with wheels!

The grey beards are gone, picked up and left when the winds changed or forced off the boat altogether. No promotions unless you're a yes man. SV kids that have never opened the hood of their cars or been around at a company long enough to see a product live and die in the market. More product managers than QAs. If you have a mortgage or kids, better put up and shut up.You get the idea.
This is very achievable today with off-the-shelf hardware paired with ChimeraOS or Bazzite.
"way WAY bigger" is a major overstatement. But even if that were true, SteamOS can handle lots of other non-steam storefronts.

For example, I recently went and played some World of Warcraft for old times sake with some friends on Linux. All I had to do was open Lutris which is available through a Flatpak on the SteamOS discovery tool, and then from Lutris you install the Blizzard Launcher. Opening the Blizzard launcher lets one install and play any of their games.
I mean, I get it, it's a whole can of worms. Also, sorry, little late to the reply here!

I think there's like a couple of major areas where it concerns me I guess. The first is when we use these types of technologies to fool people, especially (recently) politically.

The other is when we are talking about photography as art.

For someone's home photos, I really don't much mind. Do as you please I guess, if you want to remember the time and place differently than it was, so be it lol.

But it's really wild that in some cases we have art that starts as a photograph and then becomes something else entirely after editing. It takes all the patience, planning, understanding and in my opinion gratification out of it when you can just say "yea, replace the sky with this fake one so my picture looks incredibly unrealistic"

Those are the two that tend to cause me the most head shaking lately I guess.

> but what about when the existing codebase is already inconsistent?

Then you get people together to agree what consistent looks like.

I find the easiest way to do this is to borrow someone else's publicly documented coding conventions e.g. Company ABC.

Then anyone disagreeing isn't disagreeing with you, they're disagreeing with Company ABC, and they (and you) just have to suck it up.

From there on in, you add linting tools, PR checks etc for any new code that comes in.
>But as a security generality - email is vastly less secure than human nature wants to assume that it is.

I don't think this has to do with "human nature" anymore than http did. It's a very important, powerful form of communication without any secure replacement. Just as we switched to https, ideally an "xmail" or the like would get created as an open standard with open software that was email with better security by default. Sadly I'm not sure we collectively have the ability to do that kind of thing any longer, powerful entities have realized it's just too attractive to lock it up. But even many open source organizations don't seem to feel like bothering. Plenty of security experts even just prefer new shiny and will spout ridiculous "move to instant messaging". So status quo rules for the foreseeable future.
Could someone help me understand why we're not dramatically ramping up key sizes across the board on all encryption? Not as a solution, but as a buy-some-time measure.

Compute is rapidly increasing, there is continuous chatter about quantum and yet everyone seems to be just staring at their belly buttons. Obviously bigger keys are more expensive in compute, but we've got more too...why only use it on the cracking side, but not on defense?

Even simple things like forcing TLS 1.3 instead of 1.2 from client side breaks things...including hn site.

By default it uses a different UI and dedicated "window manager" (gamescope), it is not just Big Picture. But you can always switch to a traditional desktop.

By far the biggest difference is that SteamOS is an immutable OS. As far as I understand, any additional package (outside of flatpacks) you install will wiped out on an OS update. So everything is fine if what you need is packaged as a flatpack, otherwise you have to hack around.
Does Adobe Lightroom run in proton these days? Would be amazing if one could use SteamOS for photo editing and such.

> why this "reduction of harm" overrides the benefit of freedom of speech

There are some strong arguments for harm reduction being a more fundamental human value than freedom of speech.

Firstly, the modern conception of freedom of speech is often seen to be grounded in libertarian thought, in particular the works of Bentham and Mill. Yet Mill himself explicitly stated that these freedoms should be limited in the case where they cause harm to others. Thus freedom of speech has historically been seen as lower priority to harm reduction.

Secondly, there are in fact two competing interpretations for "freedom of speech": on one hand the equality of access to a public forum, on the other hand the ability to say whatever you want. I say "competing" because in a public forum without moderation, the tendency is for loud and offensive voices to drown out the discourse, effectively leaving marginalised people without a voice. This is especially potent in modern social media. To me it is similar to antitrust regulations in the market: we put these in place for the benefit of competition, as this typically improve social impacts. However in doing so we are limiting the freedom of corporations with large market share to collude, fix prices etc... .

Thirdly, history suggests that it's problematic for ideological values to trump the basic tenet of harm reduction. We see this for example in the Catholic church's refusal to support abortion rights or the use of condoms to prevent AIDs. If we don't ultimately assess the long-term social impact of a "core moral value" in terms of human harm and flourishing, then we risk entrapping ourselves in an ideological morass.

> what do you mean by "identity"? ... I cannot understand how this can in principle be "threatened"

As an example, homophobic comments are an attack on the sexual identity of homosexual people. It sends a message that they are unacceptable to society due to their inherent preferences, and that they should not express themselves as they naturally wish to. This causes psychological suffering.
That's basically it, just easier. SteamOS is like Ubuntu, comes with bunch of stuff integrated and tested together for a easier end-user experience, but you could build your own Ubuntu, starting with a base Debian install. Same with SteamOS with Arch (or Manjaro which I think is what they actually use?)
People have successfully installed SteamOS on their own hardware using the Steam deck rescue/reinstall image that you can download from Valve. So if you're up for a bit of hacking you can build it today.
Joke aside, I've known many people throughout the years who ended up at one of the big tech companies. All very ambitious and smart people, very diverse.

Only those that went to Facebook (Meta, whatever) all seem to have a certain personality trait (hard to pin down exactly, I would even cautiously say, some small aspect of their psychological makeup missing or mildly broken, but definitely the same among all people I know who went there).

I personally wish that Framework works with Valve to release a version of Steam OS for their motherboards, so one can retrofit an old Framework laptop motherboard as a TV console.
SteamOS is an immutable Linux distro that is designed designed to be usable without a keyboard / mouse. By default, it boots you into something that's like an optimized version of Steam's Big Picture mode (but with less compositor / desktop environment overhead).

From this interface you can launch games, modify all your settings, pull up performance metrics, change refresh rate, change your CPU / GPU TDP, enable FSR or other scaling methods, etc. all using just a controller with no assumptions about you having a keyboard / mouse handy.

You *can* launch into a regular desktop environment optimized for keyboard and mouse whenever you need to do certain things on it, but the main focus and value add of SteamOS is the controller friendly interface, and lightweight, resource optimized environment.

There are two different form of understandability that comes to my mind,

1. Things that you don't understand because you don't have the necessary background knowledge,
2. And the things you'd fundamentally never understand because of the limitations of your own mind, which is, limited by the IQ.

I' assuming you're trying to mean the second version here.

Yup, I have a Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED. It's an excellent watch. I run for 6-8 hours a week and I only need to charge it once a week. It is very hard wearing and has so many capabilities I don't know where to start. It even has a flashlight with red LED for during the night. With Garmin connect down I can just grab the FIT file from the watch and upload to Strava manually or perform my own analysis locally.

This mindset is such a trap. It leads to worse outcomes.

Out of all the people you can pair-bond with, and for some definition of soulmateness, one person is the greatest.

In the space of all the decisions you could’ve made in your life, there are some paths that would’ve indeed led you to that person.

But that person’s identity, and that path, are simply unknowable. Even if they were knowable, odds are you’d screw up somewhere down the line, and know that you did so, and that could destroy a person.

Similarly, your life definitely isn’t as meaningful as it could possibly have been (for some definition of meaning), and it definitely has fallen short of its potential. Your life is suboptimal. Everyone’s is.

This is human. This is ok.

To be clear: it’s up to you to decide whether this is ok. If you decide it’s not ok, then as you agonize over the delta between your hypothetical maximized self and your actual self, you will miss your life.

That hypothetical maximized self doesn’t exist. Fuck ‘em. You exist. You’re the only version of you that matters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garmin#July_2020_outage
On Garmin watches the springy mechanical part is on the cable, not the watch. Have you observed the watch itself wearing out? I would hope it's designed such that the cable is sacrificial and the watch lasts. In the product here the springs appear to be on the device side, which seems to me like the bit that would be more likely to wear out. That's concerning, but there's more chance of being to able to replace it than in something tiny like a watch.

> can't imagine a mountain biker wearing a bunch of bulky padding

XC or recreational trail riding, probably not, but if you're into enduro, freeride or downhill, you can (should) already be wearing a lot of really bulky gear. Heavy duty boots with toe protection, pads for your knees, hips, elbows, gloves, spine and chest protectors, neck braces, full face helmets with MIPS

I believe some kind of airbag solution could actually be really helpful, but here's the thing about falls in MTB: they happen quite often and they're usually harmless, sometimes you even toss the bike on purpose when you realize you've messed up or miscalculated a feature.

And you probably don't want to replace an expensive gas [generator] cartridge or suffer burns or just have to endure loud pops every time you make a mistake.
