Haha, well maybe a bit heretical considering this declares itself to be the successor to steamdeck_linux and not even just steamdeck. Guess I wouldn’t worry about it too much though.

Things changing right now too since people are moving in from Twitter so more good accounts may pop up…

(obligatory mentions while posting from mastodon->lemmy: @curryandbeans @ukraine )

Wagner is the only one involved and isn’t really a random mercenary group though. Prigozhin is (was) in Putin’s inner circle and Wagner was a tool of the Russian government. I don’t think this is all that different from a faction in the armed forces trying to stage a coup as happened during Soviet times.

Of course when nukes are fought over it is always scary anyway which is why the USA didn’t really want the Soviet Union to fall apart either.

@Jaximus @YellowtoOrange @ukraine

Crazy stuff. They do say that these regimes tend to seem rock solid until they don’t.

Unless this is some massive false flag at the very least this should result in some disarray for Russia and that is helpful for Ukraine…

@BombOmOm @ukraine

Thanks, this was quite informative as to what the state of things are on the Windows side.

That said, I highly dislike the idea of undermining Valve’s efforts to get PC gaming less dependent on Windows so certainly will not be using any of this.

@Louise @Saitama @steamdeck

Just note that several large mastodon instances including mastodon.social have blocked bird.makeup so it unfortunately is not available everywhere (personally I find it irreplaceable)

@petrescatraian @SuperPunny @ukraine

@barsoap @ukraine
Thanks, despite the downvotes this seems informative and helpful to dispel Russian propaganda narratives. It is not useful to deny the existence of right wing Ukrainians but it is to show us how they actually think and what they actually want.

@ukraine

There have been countless accounts of Russian mobiks and people drafted into LPR and DPR forces having to purchase their own gear, getting old and broken stuff etc.pretty much from the start of the war.

Then again Ukrainians are not always able to equip units well either. Donating helps.

@sab @selfhosted @mike Do you know if there is a way to make it a link post from masto or is that also just a limitation for microblogs? It seems like attaching media is at least possible.

@archy does not work through nitter because of the age restriction

I assume this is the same video on mastodon: https://mas.to/@mhmck/110565653781867449

@Los Grabbed CC3, SMAC, X-COM: Apocalypse and Incoming. I tend to like Gog for the retro games still. Going to wait for Steam sale for more. Steam deck has definitely caused me to prefer steam a little bit more even though I do play games from other stores with Lutris/Heroic on it.

@mike That is interesting, I was curious about whether it is possible to post to lemmy from mastodon… Seems like part of your message ended up becoming the title so I wonder if there is a way to format the message in a way that won’t look out of place on lemmy

@sexy_peach In one of Hromadske’s reports from Bakhmut a drone team did quote a fairly high number for drone losses. Not sure how accurate 10k a month is but it doesn’t strike me as completely unbeliveable in relation to that.

@BombOmOm I don’t think they have been promised Gripens or even Hornets yet? Swedes are only training and Australia is considering giving their old Hornets

I think the Brits were training them on another fighter in RAF service too.

@arkcom I don’t really see any problem with removing them morally if the license permits it

@c0c0c0 @lesserprophet this is lemmy.world’s own Ukraine community. The ban being talked about is https://lemmy.ml/c/Ukraine

@Thorny_Thicket @Eqweytr Gepard can only help to a limited degree because the Russian KA-52s have ATGMs that have a significantly longer range than a Gepard.

@kadu @Fubarberry FWIW the author of cryoutilities has done benchmarks and figured that increasing the default on the Deck does improve performance in some games slightly. He claims that introducing the swapfile also mitigates any potential disadvantages.

It’s just the term used in some countries like Germany for FPS.

@nivenkos Yeah that is correct I believe, still no actual release of it besides system images for Steam Deck.
