The man point is that it’s not a hardware lockout. The open-source userspace driver is a working proof of concept that the hardware will still work if you ditch steam.

Would I prefer it if they severed steam-input from the steam client and made it open source? Sure! But the community is not completely dependent on Valve.

Let’s hope the rage of the gamers can make Sam Altman and the whole goddamn tech bubble get what it deserves. /s

But it was supposed to bundle with the steam … box-computer?

Maybe use a tone-tag next time. These kinds of jokes can be hard to identify in text form.

Couldn’t find it in a quick search for nixos. Is there some option I missed?

GamersNexus estimates a 7600.

He even rewrote parts of the code that weren’t by him in order to remove the GPL license.

No, that came after he changed the license. Linux users installed an old version because that was the newest version that was allowed to be packaged. Then, people gave bug reports and feature requests, based on that old version (which were already addressed in newer versions), mostly because they didn’t know any better.

It’s not entitlement if you want to use the package manager on a linux system.

The dev forbids packaging his emulator via licence. I’m pleading that they’re the asshole here.

What’s the advantage of steamos over bazzite?

Considering I played the original on the Steam Controller (and it worked awesome): Imagine they actually have an official Steamdeck Layout with Flick-Stick, touch menus and gyro-lean (optional). 🤤

That’s what a requirement could handle. My robot has all it’s functionalities intact.

i can come up with the above attack so we can safely assume China can too - they likely have other ideas as well.

And why exactly are we to assume that China has an interest to do so? Have we arrived in full-on cold war rhetoric by now? 🙄

Also: how can the evil Xi Xingping (/s) do an assault on our infrastrugture if we don’t allow the device to phone home? If I can prevent my robot-vacuum to connect to the producer’s servers, why shouldn’t our infrastructure be able to do so?

Why ban the devices entirely, then and not introduce a legal requirement to be able to run the devices entirely on your own network?

This is about European producers not having a chance against producers on the market, first and foremost. “Security” is just a fig-leaf excuse.

It is so easy to make a device not phone home.

And if I remerber correctly: The quicksave function is diegetic, i.e.: explained in the lore of the game (since savescumming is pretty mandatory in these kind, of games).

This is literally an argument uttered by Hitler. The only thing that’s missing is the “we need a selfless leader to set things right” part.

All that shit is happening in Germany, too.
