Interesting project but funny that he thinks the GPLv3 license text matters for not copyrightable autogenerated code.
Either it’s public domain because it’s not a product of human creative work or it’s copyright violation of the everything Claude was trained on.


That’s the case with any game console.


Back when the very first Linux port of Steam was released, there were a couple of Atom CPUs still 32 bit and Valve is relatively slow to change the fundamentals of the Steam client.
IMO one of be bigger mistakes Valve made and also the reason why I switched to the Steam Flatpak early.


Why wouldn’t you gift a child a Steam Deck?


As soon as the ability to just physically remove the SIM is gone, the big providers will add locks in software to enshittify the experience.
That’s a given. I can see Apple becoming a mobile service provider and locking all iPhones users to them, for example.
eSIM experience will only stay smooth as the alternative physical SIM option exists.


So thoughtful of them


Either the cashier wanted to ask you out on a date or it was all BS pretext for data harvesting.


So yeah, the last reservations would be delivered around April 2027.
So maybe someone will have hacked the Quest 3 by then to install SteamOS.


That is exactly what they just announced, yes.
Blame app stores then.


meaning most users will be affected by this
I ask this again: How exactly? It’s literally the same binary and the parties to blame are app stores and their EULAs. The alternative would be to remove GPLv3 apps from the app stores, something that absolutely would affect users.
despite your bootlicking
Ah, here we are. You realize that you have no arguments and now resort to insults, yet you’re the one absolving the app store platforms and put all blame on the open source developer.


Removed by mod

Literally the first hit.
Also, why would users of a proprietary platforms (because Chrome is the proprietary version of free Chromium) care? FOSS people use different platforms, such as Helium browser, LineageOS, etc.


So, 99% of users.
How? It’s not like the source code if no longer under GPL, it’s just that this specific compiled binary is under a different license but it doesn’t change anything for anyone in real life.


App store EULAs and GPLv3 frequently clash. This change only affects the app store binary releases.


I post both this and DeckDroid. This here isn’t for phones, DeckDroid is.


Shuffling the order queue means that even ordering one with a scripted bot is senseless because it’s not first come, first serve.
Not happy myself that I’m in the 2027 group but maybe some hero ports SteamOS to the Quest 3, then I could cancel my order and save money. I genuinely want one mainly as an unencumbered VLC player with a giant virtual screen.


Why even bother with the whole waitlist/reservation thing in the first place?
Disincentivize scalpers.


Der sollte das Bundesverdienstkreuz kriegen statt vor Gericht zu stehen.
Well, no law maker on earth cares about the latter and no court has decided that promoting for a bit (in this case pasting an existing Tweet) grands original copyright, so whatever we may think, it’s public domain.
Personally, I think copyright as been abused so much, I have little sympathy for it.
