  • Will try revolt, cool!

    Edit: okay, I like it

  • For new linux users, if you get any trouble installing steam from the web, may be bugs or other stuff, install instead the flatpak version

    Usually going to the "Software" app. If your steam can't read X folders or Harddrives, download "Flatseal" and give it all permissions

    I'm saying this because I did have trouble in fedora until I switched to the Flatpak version

    edit: But I haven't tested this guide with flatpak so Idk if everything would work out

  • That sounds awesome regardless! A model of 8bitdo was my 2nd choice. Be aware in the future that Gulikit also ships with Nintendo layout, but you can buy the buttons and replace them without opening the controller, as it is a feature :)

  • I want their new controller because it has extra buttons on the back, like the steamdeck, but in general the unit I have has a great soft feeling, the same shape as a XBOX controller but with integrated battery and nice joysticks and overall nice feeling.

  • It is an autoconfig file

    But there is a fork of firefox with that implemented by default called "Librewolf", I don't know if thats made by the same people or not

  • I started "The Odin Project" in the deck, because the course prompted me to either mess with WSL2 on windows or switch to linux, so the SteamDeck it is :)

    I also set up a secondary setup for my girlfriend with it, even tho my initial intention was to use it handheld most of the times, but it has worked out beautifuly, even with dual monitors!

    And I use it as a SmartTV tool, I take it from my desk and dock it on the living room

  • Do you mind if I add this to the Wiki?

  • I'm staying on this side, but probably switching to a fork like Librewolf

    I've previously used Floorp which is feature rich but not polished, and same goes for Zen

  • Hello! I appreciate your desire to help in here! I was planning on using the Wiki tool from this instance, but I believe there's no way of making edits on it unless you have an account on lemmy.dbzer0.com

    If you want, we can have a chat on DMs

  • My initial intent for the SteamDeck was using it on my couch or bed, as I have some serious back problems for my age, but since my girlfriend is getting into gaming, I have a sized down setup at my right, composed of;

    • A monitor
    • A 60% keyboard, and mouse
    • A dock for the SteamDeck

    So she can dock it when she's at home and we can play with my main setup and her little settup together!

    When she's not at home, I sometimes dock it on the living room TV and play with a Gullikit Controller (I mention it because it's quite awesome).

    But honestly, the first day I got the dock, I connected two monitors to the SteamDeck and it was so great it made me switch to dualbooting on my main rig, and if/when the next SteamDeck comes out, I'll probably just sell my pc, or keep it as a home server.

  • I don't want Ladybird to be a Firefox killer, I don't even think Mozilla will care, I just want another competitor in the browser market, and I have faith it will at least be as good as firefox and we'll see from there

  • I can't wait for ladybird, firefox is going downhill because of the Mozilla Foundation

  • Welcome to the team!

  • Hello! I'm writting some guides myself, as I'd rather compile some content that I have verified and is not a copy paste from other places. Still, I'm working, slowly, but working.

    You're welcome in here, we can talk on DMs

  • Hello there! Help is more than welcome, and since you have a good reputation on reddit I'll reach you on DMs

  • Hey man! Really happy it's you :), congrats

  • My comments from someone who doesn't know much about programming yet:

    • Make the "get in touch" button functional
    • The "Language" category could be named "Experience working with:" Or something more professional
    • Search for better logos for the programming languages you know, and make them smaller
    • Many elements have contrast issues, black text on very dark blue backgrounds, etc. That's very very important
    • Cursor doesn't change on top of links

    Idea:

    • The landing page could contain some pictures of your best websites or more visually pleasing projects. And if this is a personal website "watchlist" and such are okay, but if it's meant to be a portfolio for companies... Keep it professional

    Overall, it was still okay, but needs some polishing

  • I agree needing a phone number is a dealbreaker, the reasoning I've seen is:

    • It's a core dependency on Signal, and replacing it would require a major overhaul.
    • Serves as an Anti-spam feature
    • Helps with contact discovery among common users

    My opinion?

    • 1st statement makes sense but maybe it's somewhat incorrect.
    • 2nd statement is true, Signal has had an increasingly amount of spam since they added "username accounts" linked to number, I can tell myself.
    • 3rd is true, I discovered two guys I knew used it and it was nice. When SMS on signal was still around, I suppose having a phone number also made more sense.

    In general, signal has proved they store no data besides the phone number itself, and in court they have only been able to give phone numbers.

    Now it's up to privacy oriented users like many here to think about ways of getting a burner phone number for his without their name on it.

    But I still agree with your point, they could work on better or more private ways of using Signal.

    How to Install Waydroid on Steam Deck: Full Guide

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38020983

    Before We Begin
    Hello deck-ers, this guide walks you through installing Waydroid, a tool to run Android apps on your Steam Deck. Links are included below for troubleshooting and updates. Enjoy ;)


    Step 1: Set Up a Password

    Your Steam Deck’s terminal (Konsole) will ask for a password during installation. If you haven’t set one yet:

    1. Switch to Desktop Mode and open the Konsole app (found in the taskbar or applications menu).
    2. Type passwd and press Enter.
    3. Create a password. For simplicity, a 4-digit code like 9876 works, but use something stronger if security matters to you, (as it should).
      • Note: The password won’t show as you type, this is not a bug.
      • Re-enter the password when prompted to confirm.

    Why? This password grants temporary "sudo" access to install software.


    Step 2: Install Waydroid

    Best recent guide on Citron, a Switch Emulator. Seems to perform nicely!

    This is a filler post, in the meantime I'm writting multiple step-by-step guides myself for the upcoming wiki.

    What's your mail set up?

    As a follow-up to a recent post about mail privacy, I thought it would be interesting to see what mail setup you have.

    Your recommendations may also help people newer to this trend to make a switch.

    Interesting information:
    • Mail provider
    • Multiple emails? Aliases?
    • Password manager?
    • All eggs in one basket or decentralized?
    • Self host?

    If anyone has a good recommendation outside of the typical ones, we'll work on adding it to the upcoming wiki.

    An effort to revive this community

    Hello deck-ers?!

    I'm shaytan. After some time away from the internet, and now leaving behind reddit, I'm trying to revive this community as I very recently got a steamdeck, but I've been passionate about linux, linux gaming, and hardware for a while.

    My plans for this place are to keep it aligned with piracy and steamdeck, but also take a lot more time into helping general support questions, and sharing resources and content related to the steamdeck and handheld gaming.

    I'll try to prepare some posts for this place, and if possible have a good wiki soon!

    Any help is welcome!

    Roadmap
    • 1st -> Mild overhaul of rules and look by the 2nd of February
    • 2nd -> General opening post for a proper re-start, 5th of February
    • 3rd -> Some pre-prepared posts/small guides dedicated to new users starting the 6th at a consistency of 1 a week at minimum.
    • 4rd-> A proper wiki for all things related to the steamdeck by the end of February at worst
    • 5th -> Some more hardware s

    Quick update on Xitter links

    As for this community to comply with the latest instance rule, Xitter (X/Twitter) links won't be allowed. (This has been effective since 26-27th depending on your timezone.)

    Link to the original post here

    To summarize:

    • No X/Twitter links, shortened X/Twitter links or similar allowed. Screenshots from X/Twitter are still allowed but better avoided if possible.
    • Exception: in rare cases, https://xcancel.com/ versions of a link may be allowed, but this will be exclusive to some hard to fact check sources that DO require a link to an X/Twitter post.

    No other frontend links or loopholes will be allowed.

    Thank you for your time and understanding. Stay private!

    Simple guide towards mail privacy

    It's hard to make the full switch towards a more private life, but switching your mail already fixes a big underlying issue: that being, Google or other companies having access to all your emails. So, I'll cover the basics of making your online mailing more private.

    Switching Mail Providers:

    Your email is a big part of your online footprint and helps you keep track of your online identity. So, in order to keep that to yourself, I encourage leaving services like:

    "Gmail" or "Outlook",

    for others like:

    "ProtonMail" or "Tutanota".

    This is already a big step towards keeping all your emails private and safe. Both of these are free and respect your privacy on their free tier, but expand in features with paid plans. This takes time, as you have to switch your email on most accounts to this new email.

    For the best privacy, you should delete most accounts and create new ones with this new email or with aliases. Some people, like myself, prefer to have multiple emails

    Privacy - Fighting to protect your data

    Welcome to the community

    I'm creating this place to achieve two things:

    • Bringing privacy to everyone's minds and making it as easy as possible.

    I'm fed up with how complicated some privacy practices are, and I don't feel comfortable staying on Reddit. This community is my commitment to simplifying privacy and putting all the necessary resources at your disposal.

    Why a New Community?

    You might wonder, why not just join existing communities in the fediverse? I have two reasons.

    • First, I believe this instance is the best fit for my views, digital practices, and the values I want to promote.
    • Second, I want to purge unnecessary information and make everything as digestible as possible. So creating a new community from the ground up is the best choice in my opinion.

    I have ADHD, and it’s been a challenge to keep up with having to go between countless websites, resources, etc.

    The only way I’ve been able to overcome that with other topics, has been by creating highly c
