Ugh, I hate data caps and #Steam is refusing to do local file transfers from my #SteamDeck I've already checked my router/AP to ensure that nothing is getting blocked but nothing seems to work. Same wireless SSID, on the same wired network. Can't figure it out.

Oh I just wish #Valve updated their tcmalloc library on #tf2... It is borked on #Arch #Linux users unless you preload the 32bit version with an environment variable...

Yeah, I'm gonna play #Starfield on #Linux , so what?

It's just better. #Fightme

@gamingonlinux seriously, #WontBuy until #Valve fixes their lack of support!

Everybody's so excited for the #SteamDeck 2, but I for one really hope #Valve takes their time with it to get everything right cuz we all know damn well there won't be a #SteamDeck 3 :brian:

@Jain @hackernews Well, the current versions do.

I still remember the original #SteamOS one could download from #Valve's website and that was basically a rebranded @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS...

Also that is consistent with how #Microsoft deals with toxic players on #XboxLive where they - like #Valve in #CSGO - will #mute or at least #ShadowBan said players from #Chat.

Case in point: If one doesn't leave their toxicity in the containment tgat is #2b2t, they don't have a right to complain when #Mojang pulls the plug on them if they go full #StreamSniping on regular #Vanilla players...

It sadly had #CollateralDamage i.e. #MaxiTaxi getting yeeted too.

@MagicLike Yeah, that's some typical #Valve weirdness...

Ok guys, I think I finished my e-mail to #Valve inviting them into the #Fediverse. :ablobcatbongo: Please take a look at it and tell me if I missed anything or did something wrong.

I personally am very happy with it! :blobhappy:

I am searching for #example #accounts for my e-mail to #Valve to invite them into the #Fediverse! Obviously accounts with topics like Gaming, Linux, Steam (Deck), etc. would fit in. But really any other notable accounts (that consent to it) will be great!

Ok guys, I just got the idea of contacting #Valve, to invite them to join the Fedi. This is my current draft - what do you think? What have I missed?

@dioramic_life I mean, #Microsoft also added Support for #USB #Storage with a simple #Update of the #Xbox360's OS...

So it stands to reason that #Valve could not only do the same for #SteamOS...

Just allowing people to plug it in and then go into "Settings" -> "Storage" and just select it with the option to format it and the warning that it'll erase the contents if one chooses to do so.

And yes, I think #Valve should fix this on the #SteamDeck, since there is no excuse to handle #Storage worse than the #Xbox360 did, which nowadays just accepts any media up to 2TB via USB 2.0 and just allows formatting it.

You may not hot-swap said drives, but it supports using basically anything from a shitty flashdrive to an obnoxiously loud 10.000rpm HDD up to a modern SSD in a USB enclosure...

I'm saying that #Valve is the #LesserOfAllEvils. My #SteamDeck was broken from the start. Thank the #Middleware known as #Steam for that. As soon as you quit steam, the touchpads will stop working, you can no longer move your mouse on the screen in #DesktopMode.

They do spend real money on #Proton but it benefits them. They wouldn't do it if it didn't benefit them.
Still its a good thing they do spend the actual money and that #OpenSource gets #funded.

#LimitedAccounts on #Steam can't use #SteamLink while a #sale is currently ongoing.

Got it #Valve! I hope your sale will be over soon so I can use my deck again! With a #keyboard and #mouse of course.

#SteamDB is a #private service unrelated to #Steam and neither #Valve.

They can make their own decisions regarding how they'll protect their site, ie. #AntiDDOS protection which hampers #WaybackMachine but that's cool.

They provide a service to people who are interested in Steam and that's enough.

The #SteamDeck is not a #WalledGarden but it includes elements of it and #AntiFeatures like the #touchpads stop working if you quit the #Steam application.

This #UnderminesTheSuccessOfSteamDeck. Seriously even a #stupid #Laptop with #Linux on it has their #touchpads working while on SteamDeck they don't work because #Valve destroy their own device by removing features.

The company is not as smart as we once thought. They have somebody in there who have #NoIdea about #GoodDesign.

I'm not a fanboi, but I sure am a fan of good customer service https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/14mdwb3/bag_got_stolen_and_lost_my_charger/ #Valve #SteamDeck

Today #SteamLink reported these two IPs being problematic on their end:
* 162.254.196.84:3478
* 162.254.198.104:3478

I hope #Valve fixes these issues soon
