I haven't streamed using only the Steam Deck, but I've used it as a streaming computer running both OBS and my VTubing software, since my laptop is much too weak for it. I used OBS NDI (now DistroAV) to push the video to the Steam Deck. That experience was pretty fluid, though setting it up might've been a bit involved. (Flatpak for it exists now.)

A lot of the C# ecosystem is open source (thank goodness), but the official debugger isn't, hence it only being available in the proprietary version of VSCode.

I'm only aware of the texture change, not any change in functionality. In case you're looking for a resource pack that changes back the textures, here's one.

From what I read online, Matrix is not very good with its federated moderation tools. Apparently, a quirk of it can cause the state of a federated channel to reset in time, thus also undoing removing of messages. Here is a blog post criticizing Matrix.

Sweeeeet! Can they be embedded into the article?

The videos aren't from their channel and they probably won't be able to get the rights to rehost them all.

That's probably the "just one step above" part. You do have the option to inspect the script you're executing before you do so with curl | sh too, if you know what you're doing. If you don't, then you'd be pretty likely to just skip the prompt from yay as well. (Automatic diffs are nice tho.) Note: I use paru instead so I don't know what yay does.

To be fair, that's why they said

in terms of security.

This should open the community in your favorite frontend / client: [email protected]

As long as you understand that your own opinion does not dictate how language ends up being used by others. Some NB people call themselves trans, others don't. I hope you won't go around implying that people who identify as both trans and non-binary are wrong identifying as such. That's arguably gatekeeping, and could make some people very uncomfortable.

I think this sounds like we're generally in agreement? I might just put less weight on "the canon".

like what you mentioned with Xenia, the old Linux Mascot.

To be fair, trans Xenia was sanctioned by the original artist, but my worry was along the lines of, if cathodegaytube was a "strong believer" in the Prime Egg Directive, would it have discouraged them from re-imagining this character? I don't personally think how recent a character was created or whether it was abandoned has any relevance.

I subscribe to the idea that art is up to the viewer to interpret how they want. "Death of the author" I think it's called. If someone looks at Felix, and sees an egg in him that has yet to crack, then that's a valid interpretation of the art, to that person. Just as if someone were to look at a character and interpret them as trans, whether they are canonically cis or it's left open (Spider Gwen comes to mind). I experienced a sad ending to a story? Well, too bad, author, my headcanon's now that everything works out after all!

There may be problematic ways of doing that, and it's in no way okay to assert one's interpretation as the only truth. But fundamentally, that's part of the freedom you get with art.

Would Bridget have become canonically trans if that freedom was taken away from people? (And heck, does it include the author?) Would Xenia have been reborn as a popular now-trans Linux mascot?

So there's gotta be wiggle room in both situations. Fictional characters breaking the Prime Egg Directive, because of artists' freedom of expression; and real people seeing fictional characters differently from the author and others, because of freedom of interpretation.

Quoting the rule from the community for reference:

  1. You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people’s identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

Honestly, I've been anxious about this for a while, not sure if or how to bring this up. I understand the importance of the rule when it involves real people. But I've been seeing comics and memes getting criticized of breaking the Directive a couple of times now. But aren't they just being shared from the creator's perspective? Making fun of their own experience, such as, looking back, pointing out how obvious things seemed? When you see any other comic making fun of some situation, that doesn't mean that applies to everyone. That's not the statement the comic makes. It's just something that may end up being, or having been, true for some people.

Am I wrong in feeling like the Egg Prime Directive is being invoked too easily when it comes to memes and comics?

edit: I hope this is the right place to make this post. (Also, technically, it's breaking the title rule? Are meta posts allowed?) To be fair, I don't recall where this has been happening the most, I've just seen it in my time browsing Lemmy and the many trans memes communities over the last few months. Also, note: The stickied post did not answer my question.

 

I don't see a way to block individual users' posts from showing up in my feeds. There is no "Block" button on any user's page like there is for communities. For some reason I thought there was a way to do this before, but maybe I was just using another frontend? I see some users are blocked when checking my settings. I made sure to disable uBlock Origin to check if it could be an element hiding rule.

For the record these aren't rule breaking users or anything, but instead bots that automatically post things, some of them pulling links straight from reddit. I prefer my Lemmy being populated by humans.

Thank you!
