Dear open source developer,
I have ignored the answer you gave to my question when I asked it on stackoverflow and again on your mailing list, so now I am creating an issue with the same question.
Please respond. Urgent.

Valve needs to make a small form factor desktop pc with a reasonable graphics card and performance, running the steam deck os, and sell it at a reasonable price, and call it "steam desk". They failed before because the software wasn't there - but it is now. Can't get Diablo 4 to run on my windows 11 mini (crashy) - but it runs on steam deck. Why? Because valve stole the idea behind the fundamental goodness apple had - tight control over hardware plus software lets you have a good user experience. Apple today is too tight. Microsoft is just sloppy. Hardware manufacturers are still using "it works" for their measure of success rather than "it works well". But valve knows. Plus - "Steam Desk". Just sayin.
Someone make that happen please.

My weekend project:
"Turning a Raspberry Pi Zero W into a travel media centre."
I'm impressed with how usable Kodi on a Raspberry Pi Zero W is. *Really* impressed.

With many thanks to @SimonJohnGreen for the Pi Zero W!

After shelling of energetic infrastructures by Russia #Ukraine appears so dark on the nighttime satellite images. It looks like a desert area, but it is not.
People there are struggling with winter temperatures and war news.

Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:
# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi's Agenda
Sadly I wish it was clickbait.
You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

Interesting article on the challenges of preserving the more unique #arcade cabinets.
#DigitalPreservation is sadly a topic that doesn't get much media coverage. Particularly with video games, we risk losing modern works of art. #videogamepreservation #gaming #retrogaming #xp https://arcadeblogger.com/2022/11/20/the-last-ridge-racer/

A battery filled with algae is somehow managing to power this computer for months: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2319584-computer-powered-by-colony-of-blue-green-algae-has-run-for-six-months/
No-one's quite sure what's going on. Possibly the algae is serving as the medium catalyzing the interaction between the anode and cathode in the battery.
Except research shows the anode isn't degrading, which suggests ...
... the *algae* is producing the electrons.
Some thoughts on this in my blog post here, item 6: https://clivethompson.medium.com/lavaforming-ai-writes-heavy-metal-and-drones-that-deliver-hamburger-helper-59b9bcfda9a8
